Theology Thursday
All right, here’s a real puzzler for you.
Can you make Jesus out of calcium- and fiber-added juice?
(My Catholic friends are currently either spitting on the ground and crossing themselves or lovingly clucking, “Protestants, God bless ‘em.”)
Seriously. This is right up there for me with whether you can make Jesus pudding with the leftovers. Stephen says no. But he’s okay with dipping leftover Jesus in a bowl of soup or spreading leftover Jesus with butter.
What’s up with that?
Anyway. Calcium-added Jesus. This seems very, very wrong to me.
Then again, the Bible says not one of his bones was broken. Maybe he had extra calcium after all?

Jesus had fortified grape juice at the last supper – we call it wine. Protestants God bless ‘em.
I know.
But once you start deciding that you can substitute juice for wine, it becomes very hard to explain why you can’t just substitute at will.
I feel pretty confident that if you can substitute at all, you can substitute at will.
But I grew up at a church in new england where they served oyster crackers for communion.
i think i’m with stephen on the bread pudding, though.
