I know this will be offensive but i got to know what you think?

How much more popular do you think Jesus was after he turned the water to wine in Canna? Like do you think pagans were inviting him to weddings and other huge parties?

Pagans drink water, too *wink*
Reply:Only to those who were there
Reply:People who follow the latest and greatest craze haven't changed in the many years before or since the birth of Christ . I am sure that there were many who followed Christ due to the fact that he performed many miracles . Sensationalism is alive and well today just as it was then . When Christ turned the water to wine I am sure his popularity rose about 1000% , Just as it would if he were alive and well today and cause the aids epidemic to disappear in Africa .
Reply:I think that Jesus would be the life of any party...he was also a whiz at balloon animals.
Reply:No more popular than you would be if you turned up at a gay Wiccan feminist rally and tried to pick up women.
Reply:Actually, only the 12 disciples knew what happened. The Scripture says that the guests congratulated the host for saving the best for the last.
Reply:silly it was unfermented.
Reply:yes
Reply:I'd invite him
Reply:why would you think this was an offensive question. people like to be entertained: wine; food; miracles whatever it takes to get their attention. its all good..

Well, here is one guy's interpritation! ;)



The gag with Jesus' miracles, much like what happened with Moses, was magicians, mages and miracle workes were as common as head colds in those days. What was supposed to be the "miracle" was how they were doing what they did. Instead of using "magic", Jesus was using the power of God. (Yeah for the religious studies major. Sorry, I had to. Forgive me ;-) .)



As for how the general populous handled it, he was as popular as some of our movie stars until the priests of Isreal realized he was more popular than they were, declared him a heretic and had him killed. Course, then he did that whole coming back from the dead thing and now no one can touch him!
