Took Jesus 3 Days To Respawn

Caption reads: “Got Bad Lag? Me Too. Took me 3 days to respawn”

Surely there is at least one other gamer out there who reads this blog and gets it. Gimme a shout-out so I know I’m not alone…

I know, not theologically correct given resuscitation v. resurrection and how Jesus was/wasn’t resurrected back into his physical body. But still funny. It’s Monday.

    It depends on the game. In some games when you respawn you can find your old corpse but with Jesus there was an empty tomb. So halo coop respawn = heresy but online games like DOD respawn = orthodox in that respect. I would have to say that respawning does not count as resuscitation (except for maybe in GTA games where you come to at the hospital) because your character actually died.

    No, no, he didn’t respawn; he regenerated. That’s why it took Mary a minute to recognize him.

    (sorry, it’s Easter and all that, but it’s also the week of the new series premiere of Doctor Who).

      Actually LOL’d.

      I’m with Becca though, with the John text it was definitely a Dr. Who style regeneration…

      Julie (our pastor) asked a good question today… why a gardener??? (yeah, and then I didn’t hear the rest of the sermon because I have ADD and was distracted by the red Valentine’s Day balloon still floating in our sanctuary)…

    You would think that the Logos would have a better handle on fiber optics and low latency networks….

    Theologically correct or not, that’s hilarious.
