No, but only because I’m a teetotaler. If he offered me an ice-cold RC Cola, or a meal at In-n-Out Burger, then yes, I would have no moral compunctions on chowing down. Why look a gift horse in the mouth?
I’d accept a drink from Jesus if he promised that there were no strings attached.
‘He bought you a beer’ is an infinitely better reason for gratitude than ‘He died for your sins’.
Sure, and I’d offer him a cigar in return, because nothing brings out good conversation like a fine cigar. Then I’d ask him what he thought of all the pain, suffering and horror his followers have done in his name.
I’d be pretty sure I was talking to a crazy person convinced he was Christ, but that’s OK – conversations with crazy people can be fascinating.
If I suspected he really was JHC, instead of a beer I’d get a glass of water and have him turn it into nice Bordeaux.
No. I generally don’t accept drinks from strangers, all the more so if they claim to be some kind of messiah.
Would you accept a drink from the reincarnation of Buddha?
No, I would not let Jesus Christ buy me a beer. I would suggest instead that I buy him a few sessions worth of psychiatric help to cure him of his messiah complex.
Now, if Jesus Garcia offered me a beer, no problemo.
If Jesus bought me a beer that would mean he was still alive, which would cause me to rethink a great deal. But I’d probably start by accepting the beer.
It would depend on the beer. I don’t believe in the supposed “King of Beers”, if that’s what you mean.
