You don't know? Is it really that difficult?
Has he ever advocated anything OWS has done?

I don't think he would do either to be honest. He wasn't interested in the temporal world.
Jesus was very interested in the temporal world.
That's the only reason for being concerned about the poor.
"Render unto Caeser"..... look it up someday and then get back to us.

Except that's a single statement-and we're talking about Jesus' message more broadly.
"Render under Caesar" is one of those attempted traps a poster was speaking of earlier. His response was an evasion of that trap. Not an exhortation for his followers.
OWS is criticizing corrupt power, and saying that the rich need to be more aware of the rest of the world.
Sound familiar?
Out of curiosity, how often do you think Jesus showered?Is thou shall not lay in their own piss and shit a commandment? .......

Jesus was concerned for all of humanity, which is why he offered himself as a living sacrifice. He also was against sin, which is what put him on the cross. Sin is what separates humans from God and Jesus takes sin seriously. Thankfully we have the opportunity to repent of our sins and Jesus is willing to forgive us of our sins.
Your thread is about OWS. OWS is about economic justice, a topic that Jesus addressed during his ministry.

I'm not so sure....in those times bathing was to achieve ritual purity. How many sins or blots on his character did Jesus have to wash away?Out of curiosity, how often do you think Jesus showered?Is thou shall not lay in their own piss and shit a commandment? .......
I would say never. He probably bathed quite regularly but I can almost gurantee you the only showers he got were when he got stuck in the rain!

Yes, but I'm pretty sure that working up an honest sweat wasn't one of the reasons people bathed in those times. Ritual purification covers a lot of things, but sweat isn't one of them.I'm not so sure....in those times bathing was to achieve ritual purity.

Oh, none I'm sure, but he was a carpenter and he would get ripe pretty damned quick!

Why do you think he addressed 'economic justice', as you called it, in his preaching? What was the purpose?

I doubt the Romans allowed the Jews to use their bath houses.Yes, but I'm pretty sure that working up an honest sweat wasn't one of the reasons people bathed in those times.

I beg to differ. They were primitive yes but uncivilised no. Just like you or I find the BO of today unpleasant so too did they. The Romans had extensive baths purely for their pleasure, as did the ancient Myceneans. Bathing has been a human pleasure for as long as he or she has been able to arrange it.

Weren't the Jews in those times rather poor? How would they afford to bathe other than when they wished to enter a temple....even then I imagine it was tough to do.
The French are not uncivilized but they don't smell too good.

The Jews of that time were actually fairly wealthy. Jerusalem sat astride a major trade route so was strategically and economically powerful. The Romans would probably not have allowed Jews to share their baths that is true, however the Jews had enough money to build their own!
My wife is French and she smells great so you better watch it lady!
I'd like to see the looks on the faces of the OWS protesters if they saw a cohort of legionaries bearing down upon them. Though I'm guessing that Jesus would've had the sense to get the fuck outta Dodge by then.
