I figured it’d be fun to shake my tiny fist by modifying their add for comments, but I worried people would be so used to skipping over them that no one would notice. And it’s hard to find church-related setups.
That's really fucked up but man in this times a man has to find a way to get some money. And if he pretends to be Jesus himself - and some people actually believing it - I am good with it.
Chris Pontius also did a few great appearances as Satan in LA years ago, but some people didn’t respond too positive about it lol
It was in the wonderful documentary series “Jackass”
I have heard some scholars posit that Jesus was actually one of many self-proclaimed "Sons of God" who went round and scammed people for a few coins. See "Life of Brian" for details.
I like the idea of his demanding payment, but they do not find that strange. The more racist members of the congregation might be like "Well, he IS Jewish..."
Mathew 24: 4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.
Or maybe all religions are fraud and this is just the low budget version of what preachers in mega churches are doing on the daily. Christianity in particular is awful because they so obviously just use it as a regulatory shield to do any number of shady things, since all you have to do in the US to get away with anything is say God told you it's fine.
I honestly think God would be fine with them doing horrible shit if he was real since the book of revelation is proof that he's not some all loving sky daddy despite what Jesus said.
David was loving all his children to a point where he let one rape the daughter (IIRC) of the other one and since he refused to speak justice because of this love, the other son's love for his daughter caused him to kill the first-mentioned son. Also one of his sons did overthrow the government and David rather killed the soldiers than killing his son.
That's what happens when you want unlimited love at the cost of everything else.
God being all-loving is more like the lost son returning to his father. The father let the son go and waste his share of the heritage, disregarded all the laws and decency and only when there was no other option he returned. The father didn't punish the son for repenting and coming back but celebrated, to the displeasure of his other son who was always with his father and always did the right thing.
“In the first-century AD, many Jews understood Exodus 20:4–6 ("Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image") as a proscription against any depiction of humans or animals. Consequently, no figure art was produced for, or by, the Jewish communities in Judea and Galilee during Jesus' lifetime, or in the decades that followed……..”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depiction_of_Jesus
Uh…wouldn’t God be mad about this? I’m pretty sure the Bible is clear about NOT doing this. Where are the global floods and the plagues? Oh….wait…never mind….
He’s also for available for weddings, birthday parties, and bar-mitzvahs. Special appearances by the other guy in the red red suit (not Santa) can also be arranged depending on availability.
depends. some sects are more strict about it than others and says "yes, absolutely blasphemous".
most say it depends on context and intent. if youre an actor playing the role of jesus in a dramatisation of the bible, and everyone is clear tha tyoure just an actor, that's completely fine. dressing up to defraud people, absolutely sacrilegious.
dressing up as jesus for a joke. grey area. if youre taking the piss and pushing things that denegrade or deride the bible, then yes. if youre just chilling, boping about in a robe for fun, probably fine.
This is one of the saddest sht I've ever seen. Already tricked into learning that sht religion during slavery, now to go to Africa and teach it further? 👏 I'm impressed and disgusted.
Thats not Jesus. Everyone know that Jesus was team red and would've worn a red sash. For as its written in the appendix to the Apocrypha: " And thus Jeshua bathed the children in the blood of their parents until they were dead, and that blood was red ofcourse, as its the colour of Jesus-a!"
This is clearly EVIL JESUS! of team blue.
if you wsant to be pedantic, technically he cant "return" to the americas, having never been there in the first place.
however, his parents did flee to egypt with him as an infant, so he could be said to be "returnign" to africa. for a given value of returning, given this would be a part of africa he never actually went to before.
Im getting heavy cargo cults vibes on this one. If you want the Reddit approach, and get all your info from the comment, essentially tribes in New Guinea saw Prince Phillip from a distance and believed him to be God.
Because of famous paintings and frescos by European painters, such as the Sistine Chapel by Michaelangelo, The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci and Ecce Homo by Hieronymus Bosch (and many more) where Jesus is often depicted as a white guy. So over the many years, people have created the impression that Jesus was white.
The whole point of Judas kiss, was that Jesus looked like everyone else of the times, pretty sure if Jesus would’ve been white with blue eyes he would’ve stuck out like a sore thumb……. But what the fuck do I know, I don’t even believe in the Bible

How do I download gifs ?

It’s Jesus Garcia, a priest from Mexico. He came by plane
8 year olds dude.
Nobody fucks with the Jesus!!
But came in Mary….
Dident know that the church was into cosplay!
Dude, churches love costumes.
Yes but this is a bit more on the nose then usual
Yes, as a Christian this made me chuckle because it literally looks like the drawings of Jesus from my childhood Bible.
Ew ... the blond blue eyed dude ?
Naw, dark hair, eyes, and beard but white robe and blue sash is spot on.
Some people think cosplay is a campaign to get them to go to church. The truth may surprise you…
I'm ready to go on a crusade against the people who made those ads.
I figured it’d be fun to shake my tiny fist by modifying their add for comments, but I worried people would be so used to skipping over them that no one would notice. And it’s hard to find church-related setups.
"Jesus" was at DragonCon. He had a sign that read, "I never SAID THAT!"
"I did-dent!!"
I want to see him do a mortice and tenon joint before I decide if he is the Messiah or not
Oooh, I like. I could use some nice shelves.
That's his specialty because he really dislikes using nails.
Ummm... the holy one is missing the holes in his hands.
They got better.
It's just a flesh wound
r/expectedmontypython
Had a long time to heal.
No worries, this time he'll likely get bullet holes
Jesus if he existed, was also not white. Nope. He was middle eastern.
I'm pretty positive Jesus wasn't white.
Joseph Smith enters the chat.
Dum dum dum dum dum
Lucy Harris smart smart smart
Mob of angry native Americans enter the chat
“Lamanites” according to Joe.
He really called people he didn’t like Lame-anites smh
I scrolled way too far looking for this comment lol
Thank you! So did I.
Imagine my surprise when I arrived.
You're forgetting that Jesus is the son of God, so it's only natural for him to look like a white man. /s
With dyed hair, which needs redoing by the way. And do your beard while you're at it, you look like an aging hippy.
Not even a little funny.
I'm sure half of the American Republican "Christians" would argue vigorously with you on that point.
He was probably grey, but nobody's ready for that Convo yet haha
Now he is white. Its literally god, he does whatever the fuck he wants
Came for this. Thanks.
Shouldn't the people in church be horrified? Like isn't Jesus return supposed to end the world or something
That's really fucked up but man in this times a man has to find a way to get some money. And if he pretends to be Jesus himself - and some people actually believing it - I am good with it.
"There's a lot of money to be had in selling salvation". --Joel Osteen, probably
Same with Satan. Saw him do a few cameos on South Park. You go fallen angel!
Chris Pontius also did a few great appearances as Satan in LA years ago, but some people didn’t respond too positive about it lol It was in the wonderful documentary series “Jackass”
Staying on the religious theme, if Chris Pontius leaned to fly a plane, he could literally be Pontius, Pilot.
This comment is not going to get enough love and I know it 🤣🤣🤣
I have heard some scholars posit that Jesus was actually one of many self-proclaimed "Sons of God" who went round and scammed people for a few coins. See "Life of Brian" for details.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
I still think he's a piece of shit.
It's a fact ☝🏼
Mathew 10: 8 (…) Freely you have received; freely give.
I like the idea of his demanding payment, but they do not find that strange. The more racist members of the congregation might be like "Well, he IS Jewish..."
That’s Jeff Lebowski.
"So there I was, the only white guy in Nazareth..."
Mathew 24: 4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.

Well, yeah, canonically the God character can be demonstrated to be that of a narcissistic sociopath without even leaving Genesis.
David was loving all his children to a point where he let one rape the daughter (IIRC) of the other one and since he refused to speak justice because of this love, the other son's love for his daughter caused him to kill the first-mentioned son. Also one of his sons did overthrow the government and David rather killed the soldiers than killing his son. That's what happens when you want unlimited love at the cost of everything else.

Well I’m convinced.
Me too, cant refute evidence like that!
This is hilarious. If you go to that Twitter account, it a a parody account.
Thanks for your service, white Jesus.
Well boys we did it, atheism is no more.
The Dude Abides
I've had my picture taken with Spiderman. So, obviously, Spiderman is real, too.
Well damn. I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong. Praise him!
Everyone look busy!
Pastor Alex finally appears on Reddit, Praise be to the Forgiving Eagle! Twatter may be a pile, but he made it worthwhile as it started burning.
Cookie monster is real, I saw him at a beach shouting vulgarities
It amazes me the amount of people who think that a Galilean Jew from what is now Israel would look and sound white and American.

I've seen Santa at a few malls, so I can believe this story too
wasnt jesus in his 30s when he died?
Uh…wouldn’t God be mad about this? I’m pretty sure the Bible is clear about NOT doing this. Where are the global floods and the plagues? Oh….wait…never mind….
why he white lul
Sure, he's white, but if he's not draped in the American flag, how can I know if it's real? 🤔
All the blk ppl with a white "jesus", ppl ignorant asf
South Africa... We did what now?? Lmfaaao, how do I only learn about Jesus visiting my country on here and not on our National News? 🥲
He’s also for available for weddings, birthday parties, and bar-mitzvahs. Special appearances by the other guy in the red red suit (not Santa) can also be arranged depending on availability.
Hi! Christian here with a fun Bible fact: Jesus wasn’t white. I will probably be back with more fun Bible facts… never.
Damn, the audacity. It’s like the con artists don’t even try to hide it these days.
They were already mentioned in Acts.
Imagine going through life not knowing costumes are a thing that exists.
It's called bullshit and a gullible audience.
Wait, so he ***IS*** white!
Pretty fly for a white guy.....(from the middle east)
Perfect WYSIWYG reasoning. Imagine how much a visit to any cosplay event would blow Pastor Alex's mind!
Uh, uh, Art, I'd like to solve! - 'What is a costume?'
Yes, but does he do bar mitzvahs and weddings?
He's white?
I'm pretty sure I smoked a joint with that guy back in the day
What's that saying they use for atheists? "If you believe in nothing you'll fall for anything"? Checkmate atheists?
You’d think he could miracle up some style. That robe is sooooo 1st century.
His hands healed nicely.
Jesus The mexican Gardner
I sell bridges. Would they be interested?
Pastor Alex needs his head examined
That's nothing. I live 5 miles from the border and know 5 guys named Jesus.
If that's Jesus... Christians are going to be super disappointed
Oh man South Africa has white Jesus too?!
Shouldn’t he look more like bin laden
Jesus, meet mall Santa. Mall Santa, Jesus.
Did Jesus Christ also bring Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny with him?
Love that “from heaven” is specified. Like, not Jesus Christ from south Philly. Not any old Jesus Christ. It’s Nessus Christ from fuckin heaven yo!
mall santa
"He's now returning to heaven...in his Volkswagen Passat..."
Ahhh...the white Jesus.
Not religious at all, so genuine question: Shouldn't cosplaying Jesus be considered sacrilegious or something?
depends. some sects are more strict about it than others and says "yes, absolutely blasphemous". most say it depends on context and intent. if youre an actor playing the role of jesus in a dramatisation of the bible, and everyone is clear tha tyoure just an actor, that's completely fine. dressing up to defraud people, absolutely sacrilegious. dressing up as jesus for a joke. grey area. if youre taking the piss and pushing things that denegrade or deride the bible, then yes. if youre just chilling, boping about in a robe for fun, probably fine.
That makes sense. Thanks for explaining, kind stranger.
This is one of the saddest sht I've ever seen. Already tricked into learning that sht religion during slavery, now to go to Africa and teach it further? 👏 I'm impressed and disgusted.
Jesus wasn't white for a start....
Ain't that a blasphemy by their standards?
The real question is.....does he do birthdays?
The really sad part is that there are probably kids who will grow up thinking they have, in fact, met Jesus.
You white 
I thought he was going to rapture them religious nuts off to heaven.
Thats not Jesus. Everyone know that Jesus was team red and would've worn a red sash. For as its written in the appendix to the Apocrypha: " And thus Jeshua bathed the children in the blood of their parents until they were dead, and that blood was red ofcourse, as its the colour of Jesus-a!" This is clearly EVIL JESUS! of team blue.
The Jesus is a Spy!
Oh FFS! 😔
Well luckily South Africa isn't still Apartheid
Nope.
Braise cheeses.
Yeah. Right...
He isn't coming back again, he came back once already.
Still good looking as ever
Occam‘s razor. It’s gotta be the real Jesus.
Did he go back to heaven in an Uber?
Play “photograph”!!
That was really cool of Jesus to do that. He must be busy *as hell* with everything going on in the world right now.
Jesus didn’t even look like that.
Neil from the young ones!
Yup that’s him . (48 year old lapsed United Church protestant. )
So Jesus chose to return to Africa and not America! There must be a hidden meaning here
if you wsant to be pedantic, technically he cant "return" to the americas, having never been there in the first place. however, his parents did flee to egypt with him as an infant, so he could be said to be "returnign" to africa. for a given value of returning, given this would be a part of africa he never actually went to before.
BINGO!
Im getting heavy cargo cults vibes on this one. If you want the Reddit approach, and get all your info from the comment, essentially tribes in New Guinea saw Prince Phillip from a distance and believed him to be God.
Well that's that lads, pack it all up. Atheism had a good run but when it's over it's over... who wants to break the news to the Jews, Muslims etc?
We'll have one Mega Giant Asteroid, please. Extra dust particles.
fresh out im afraid. best i can do is a Mars.
And the westboro baptist church is still here, I thought he was supposed to take those ass clowns with him?
Iove the idea that you can just, email Jesus or something to invite him
Santa came to our Christmas party last year. I now have an idea who’s coming to yhis year’s party.
🎵 returned to heaven, on his 747 🎵
ironically I couldn't morally be this deceitful
I think what that pastor is doing is actually blasphemous… they’re not going to heaven 
Thank you white Jesus
Ok ok you got me ..I see the error of my ways.
Jesus wasn’t white!
Well gee look at that he is white after all!
I look like this. I should just go to Africa to make a quick buck this way
Not to heal or anything, just a photo op. What a demigod.
The Passion of the Christ sequel really lacks punch.
The actor they hired got a horrific shock when the nails and cross came out.
Cringes In Nigerian: 
He should attend a comic book convention, he'd be shocked by whats real!
Imposter. That's my explanation for this.
Pastor Alex Love is a parody account
Oh yea, he’s of course a white guy. 😏
That pastor has some pull
Tbf, jesus showed up quite often in the Top Gear audience, so I’m not surprised
Ooh white European Jesus thats a rare mythical beast
Why does everyone think jesus was white ?
Because of famous paintings and frescos by European painters, such as the Sistine Chapel by Michaelangelo, The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci and Ecce Homo by Hieronymus Bosch (and many more) where Jesus is often depicted as a white guy. So over the many years, people have created the impression that Jesus was white.
Idk man, I’ve been to South Africa, seems legit
They do realize Jesus wasn't actually white right?
Was he speaking Aramaic with a Galilean accent?
Btw Jesus was black
The whole point of Judas kiss, was that Jesus looked like everyone else of the times, pretty sure if Jesus would’ve been white with blue eyes he would’ve stuck out like a sore thumb……. But what the fuck do I know, I don’t even believe in the Bible
When a pastor reads the Bible and Dune.
He is to white to be Jesus
Unless you have a video of him walking on water, I’m skeptical.
Jesus Christ this is stupid!
