I was giving a talk about reconciliation at a local Church. The bible story was about the lady of illrepute, who basically cried on Jesus' feet and then dried them with her hair and anointed them with oil. This being popular story I decided to get into the scripture just a bit. Well I mentioned that this woman may have been a hooker, which is maybe a less professional term than prostitute. Needless to say I mentioned that this lady was cleaning Jesus' feet. Then I thought out loud that maybe Jesus had some toe jam: Toe Jam Jesus. Which is quite possible that he did because his feet were dirty from all that walking on dirt roads. I found out later people objected to the notion that Jesus may have had Toe Jam than using the word "hooker."
This was suprising and then I realized that I may have gotten some people's spiritual panties all wadded up. But I was merely just focusing on the Theological aspect of Jesus dual nature in one being. True God and True Man. Sometimes I think we have more of an issue with Jesus' humanity than with his Divinity. So if Toe Jam Jesus is offensive, check our True God and True Man. I'm not saying that this is proclaimed Church teaching. I'm not even saying scientifically that Jesus did have toe jam. But if I was a bettin' man, I sure would put money on it that he did.
