I would like to hear you try to explain your error about Jesus when your standing before him on judgement day.
Maybe I won't have to, because I studied. Maybe its you that will have to.
You can find couches buried along with the Pharaohs in Egypt. Christianity began as an effort to get "everyone" sleeping in a bed. They had cars before Henry Ford. But Ford becomes famous because of his efforts toward the mass utilization of the car. Beds began being used long before Jesus, to most seen as a status symbol in a caste system, with the benefits and reasoning behind sleeping raised not widely understood. Jesus began working toward getting everyone sleeping in a bed. We take it for granted today, but to have everyone sleeping in a bed in a community vastly improves the health of everyone. Many illnesses are avoided, and sleeping in a bed doubles the average person's life span mainly through the prevention of heat loss through dissipation into the ground. A definite danger to the young and old in tribes not mass utilizing furniture. 2000 years ago, the mass utilization of the bed was the one thing that would do mankind the most good. An example of the need for equality among us.
I'm talking history, not religion. When I ask people whose famous for the bed, most say they never thought about the bed. But once in a while a person will say Jesus, because of the manger. In a world of cause and effect, it's hard to keep history hidden, long.
The bed is evolutionary medicine. People that do not compensate for the height of the trees suffer health problems due to sleeping on the ground. Some agree the term "hell" means "the grave". So, getting people using raised beds is how Jesus and his followers were keeping others from an early grave.
It all hinges on the definition of the word "dead". Before the word sleep, did they use the word dead? Does "raising the dead" mean "raising the sleeping", in the history books?
It's something that had to have happened in our history. The story of Jesus, when viewed historically, tells me so.
It just goes to show how strongly our lives are affected by peer pressure. The effect of Christianity peer pressureing everyone into using beds has raised life expectancy to about 70 years of age. Now life expectancy drastically increases when people reorient every 10 minutes magnetically.
Our level of comprehension is proportionate to our vocabulary. This means generations in the future having a greater vocabulary, will be able to comprehend things we cannot.
Our relationship with words, is our relationship with God. As our vocabulary grows, so does our relationship with God, through the generations.
Have you studied the information at the link I've provided?
Does history verified what I'm saying?
Do you understand evolution?
Do you have to compensate for the height of the trees, or suffer?
Was the word dead use before the word sleep was introduced?
You have to really read the Bible. Not just recite the words, and parrot what you've heard others say it means. Your interpretation must conform with the facts and agree with history and reality. Some people don't seem to think that's important. And they miss knowing the truth.
We have taken the bed for granted. Just how important is it when it comes to our health? If people that did not use beds, began using beds, would they receive life more abundant? Doesn't it say that's why Jesus came? Why does it mention Jesus was the son of a carpenter? Is that important? If you have seen the son, have seen the father? Do they usually have the same trade, especially the firstborn?
All the clues are there. Put the piece together. Most don't even try.
Allow me to share a response to my "Jesus and the bed" theory/observation, from another discussion forum.

"This is the best miracle apologetic I've ever seen."
I had to use the dictionary to try to figure out the meaning behind that sentence.
apolo[getic
adj. 5Fr
apolog=tique < LL(Ec)
apologeticus < Gr
apologctikos, suitable for defense.
1 defending in writing or speech; vindicating
2 showing realization of and regret for a fault, wrong, etc.; making an apology.
n. a formal defense, often written, of a belief, cause, etc.
I take it to mean something like:
This is the best miracle defense I've ever seen.
This is the best miracle explanation I've ever seen.
