My friend, please i will advise you to believe and accept the Lord Jesus as your lord and personal Savior. He is a true friend. He came to restore mankind to God. if you allow Him into your live, you will be filled with the wisdom and power of God. Jesus is the wisdom and power of God. As per what He did for a living, His father supplied all His needs from Heaven according to His riches in glory. God is all sufficient. The riches in Heaven, the riches on earth and the riches beneath the earth belong to Jesus' father. Scripture says he that does not believe in Jesus has made God almighty a liar. Please i will advise you not to mock at Jesus. Please try to know Him. Moreover, no knowledge is lost.

The job Jesus did was preaching the gospel.

God provided for him. Especially through money and gifts he recieved from people.

Luke 8:3
And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's chief house- servant, and Susanna and a number of others, who gave him of their wealth for his needs.

brainchild78: Are you serious? or jus looking for some foolish attention?

both.
i am very serious. don't you think that it is important that followers know what the leader did so they can emulate him? I find it suspicious that this important factor of everybody's life is excluded from the life of jesus.
i also want the question to gather attention so people know exactly who they are following.

But how were these riches supplied? In what way? In what form? I thought he lived like a pauper. Which riches are you talking about? Please be specific.

Friends, the stories in the bible are absolutely crap, they never happened anywhere, if not thought from childhood, nobody would believe such crap. how can one go about the story that 5thousand people ate 2fish and 5bread and then had 12baskets of fish&bread left over?? even my dog would bark at that if I say it loud.

@Logic Mind,how does a pastor manage to live in a big mansion and drive a lexus without any other source of income?
The answer is simple:Through exhortion,lies and deceit.
The same applies to Jesus in the bible.
We all know he had a silver tongue,so achieving those must have been very easy for him indeed.
Re: What Did Jesus Do For A Living? What Was His Occupation? by Jenwitemi(m): 9:21am On Apr 21, 2012
No beggar is unemployable unless he is physically incapacitated. Jesus was supposed to be a physically fully functional man in his days so does not qualify by your definition.

so what was his employment then?
Re: What Did Jesus Do For A Living? What Was His Occupation? by Jenwitemi(m): 9:39am On Apr 21, 2012
Street preacher who got paid from heaven above? Don't quote me on that. Okay, just joking.

According to legends, Jesus did not need to be paid because he was from a very rich family. His uncle, for example, Joseph of Arimathea, was supposed to be one of the richest men around at that time as a tin merchant. He obviously financed his ministry, so Jesus never had to work.

Fighting many, many wars, raiding caravans and sharing those spoils of war. Then acquired all kinds of wives.

Joseph of Arimathea was not related to jesus. he was one of his disciples, John 19:38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders.

Jesus's "dad" was a carpenter and her mum didn't have any job as far as we were told.

So maybe Joseph of Arimathea and Joanna were some of the benefactors of jesus. It doesn't make him any less almajiri.

He wasn't a bigger ,he rendered services to lives by his ministry. In the flesh you may say he got paid for services rendered.

Its good that anyone can SAY ANYTHING, ABOUT JESUS OF NAZARETH, without fear, really because HE BROUGHT FREEDOM & LIBERTY to all mankind. But please don't try it on any other founder of religion, or you see what will happen to Nairaland and its bloggers. True or False?
Re: What Did Jesus Do For A Living? What Was His Occupation? by Jenwitemi(m): 10:13am On Apr 21, 2012
Not the same Joseph, numpty. Joseph of Arimathea was never Jesus' disciple, but his uncle who appeared in the gospels all but once. You are talking of a different Joseph.

FALSE. Jesus may have tried to bring freedom, but religion got hold of his message and made it into a bleeping prison of the mind.

And exactly what will happen?
Re: What Did Jesus Do For A Living? What Was His Occupation? by Jenwitemi(m): 10:18am On Apr 21, 2012
Joseph of Arimathea was never Jesus' disciple. Legends have it that he was Jesus' uncle who even took Jesus to the British isles on one of his tin mining trips in the Jesus years not included in the bible. That is as far as i know about Jesus' shadowy background.
