Why Didnt Jesus Teach Anything New by mumumugu(m): 3:05pm On Nov 09, 2014
God walked the earth he didn’t once mention bacteria, pasteurization, or the importance of dental hygiene. In the roughly 1,000 sunlit days Jesus was on his ministry, speaking to sets of desperately eager ears, he didn’t once explain the sun, the composition of the atmosphere, clouds, or sooth people’s fears of the terrifying blights of lightning and thunder. In the roughly 1,000 long, long television-free nights Jesus had to say something new or useful, he didn’t once look up and explain to his friends the moon (and the tides), the stars, the planets, our position in the solar system, the galaxy, the nature of gravity, light, radiation, or on a more practical note, dispense the formula for sun block. In the three years of his ministry he didn’t point anyone in the direction of morphine, teach a soul about the nature of asthma, epilepsy, genetics, the periodic table, volcanology, the causes of headaches, muscle cramps, prenatal care, plate tectonics, architecture, evolution, or tell a single living being about the science of corrective-optics. He didn’t mention anything about better, faster, safer forms of transportation, communication technology, math, the metric system, a new swimming technique, scuba diving, blast furnaces, magnetic compasses, quartz watches, wind turbines, the wonders of reinforced concrete, ball bearings, immunization, New Zealand, the physics of flight, thermal dynamics, podiatry, water purification, desalination, stainless steel, umbrellas, telescopes, microscopes, macroeconomics, paper, washing machines, tupperware, bicycles, bras, buttons, refrigeration,


In the 290,000 hours he had go say something new or useful, he made no mention of the link between mosquito’s and malaria, representative democracy, or even electricity. Flushable toilets, a technology based on gravity alone, would have saved thousands of lives lost to dysentery and cholera in the time of his alleged ministry, and tens of millions in the two millennia since. In all of the 1,740,000 minutes he had to say something new or marginally useful, Jesus didn’t utter a solitary constructive word about weather stations, a global language like Esperanto, a world map, or even the wonders of vulcanized rubber; a certain showstopper in the age of sandals.
To have spoken of any of these things, things unknown to 1stCentury Palestine, would have been remarkable evidence for his existence and claims. Not saying any of it is more than just a little pathetic

And they would say Jesus came to save the world. From What exactly?

From sin? What sin? Don't we still have sin even after his coming?

He was sacrificed? How true is that? Someone who rose up from his death bed,how can they call that sacrifice?

Anyway they are Christians,people who believe in talking snakes and donkey. Why am I surprised?

Jesus didn't claim to be a scientist so He wasn't going to be teaching science. He was here to teach about the Kingdom of God and He fulfilled His mission.

Laughable.
He came to teach ,in a period of great literary activity, but he forgot, or had no time to write a single sentence for posterity.

Whom did he teach , and what did he teach ?
And who has gotten the message after 2000yrs?
Is it the Catholics, the Lutherians, the Calvinists, the Baptists, the Anglicans, Jehovah's witnesses, the seventh day adventists, the evangelicals, the coptic churches, the Greek orthodox, our own homemade white garment churches, or even the people of his own native religion, the Judaists?
Who got the message?

He came to teach about the Heavenly kingdom of god ,without a lesson in geography, in this case, astronomy and astro-physics?

Big laugh.

How much of scientific discourse was going on in His society at the time? Was science the biggest headache of the Jews or the occupation of a foreign kingdom? Did anybody approach Him with scientific questions?

Amongst the sects you mention is there one that says Jesus did not preach the kingdom of God?

If He was less concerned about an earthly kingdom why would He be expounding on earthly science?

Laughing again.

In Greek mythology, we read of Prometheus , the god who sacrificed his own life to give early humans the gift of fire(code for practical knowledge).
Prometheus, obviously advanced in scientific knowledge, saw the need to aid the fledging human species who were groping in the dark( literally and figuratively), into a new era, new paradigm and new possibilities.
And this is myth.

In the book of Enoch, we also read of the sons of the gods, the so-called fallen Angels, who bequeathed the knowledge of farming, irrigation, astronomy, astrology, chemistry, mining and metallurgy to the stone-age peoples.

Then here, we supposedly had the bona fide son of god, architect and creator of the universe, come here, spend 33 solid years on earth, without even showing humans how to alleviate a headache or the common cold , talkless of leprosy, polio , small pox or chicken pox.

It is indeed laughable that the son of god supposedly cured people of blindness, leprosy and even raised the dead. This would mean that at least he understood the pressing health issues of his era. Did he leave any prevention advice, instructions or a permanent cure for any one of these disease? undecided

I think we all know the answer.

So for nearly 2000yrs, the same diseases that Jesus supposedly miraculously cured, continued to plague humankind.

I guess Jesus thought to himself that since he was coming back soon, there was no need to teach humans anything that would have been of any material benefit to them here on earth, even how to keep their children healthy and stay healthy .

Thumbs down for Jesus. undecided

This is yet another pointer to the fact that the Jesus written about in the bible was either a myth or a goddamned fraud.

To be fair, his father's track record is far from stellar either. What practical predictions or solutions does he offer for the current world in his book to the human population again? Squat. Zilch. Zero.

Like someone already said above, you cannot tell things you do not know.

Seriously, this is quite funny... God man on earth but didn't explain causes of natural disasters or sicknesses. God man on earth only on a fruitless mission because even after his so called sacrifice sin still remains. Religion is still confusing and unclear. Churches are springing up with different doctrines. What exactly did God come to do on earth?

You must have been reading the bible upside down. The bible NEVER said that birds blood could cure leprosy but it was a procedure used after the person must have been cleansed more like a sacrifice done by the priest to pronounce the person clean and to be allowed into the camp.

Yet human knowledge proving to be wiser than his maker..you might have the fore knowledge of all this to go against christian theology and even christian science...but its still foolishness before God.

The good thing is that he remains who he is regardless all your hethen preconceived ideology. #so keep calm, live your life till you draw your last breadth and find out the obvious..but God help you that is not too late then. Ayayayaya! kiss

Leviticus 14;7
He is to sprinkle the blood seven times on the person with the infectious skin disease and then pronounce him clean. Then he is to release the live bird into the open fields.

As usual by atheists quoting out of context undecided Leviticus 14:2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest: 14:3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper; 14:4 Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: 14:5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water: 14:6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water: 14:7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field. 14:8 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
