No. "Jesus wept." (Shortest sentence in the Bible, don't you know)

good question, but surely he could, yes? if not, bet he could knock up a good mdf cabinet in minutes!!

Yes, before you all criticise, I am a Christian, lighten up!

A semi fictional man with biblical exaggerations about what he actually did. I do not think that you can ever be sure of the answer my friend.

Free Cyprus,
More seriously, if you look at the four books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John - which are heavily and significantly contradictory and inconsistent in their often cursory accounts of Jesus' life - there are no direct references to him either reading or writing. Preach he certainly did : read ? No. Write ? No. All the gospels were written well after his death, I think that Matthew (even assuming it was by a single author) was said to be written some 30 or so years after his death, so all rely on second-hand hearsay.

I haven't got my King James' with me - a beautiful piece of literature to this convinced atheist - so, literally, can't check out chapter and verse, sorry.

Who bloody cares? :roll:

Did he even exist (?!?!?!?) would be a better question!!!

Probably not. Or rather the life and deeds ascribed to Jesus is most probably composite and/or apocryphal.

But to your 'who cares ?' question, Turkish_Cypriot, obviously millions do, however misguided and mistaken one might think them to be.
