    Pedantically, it is controversial within Christianity because the doctrine of the trinity is controversial.

    Multiple denominations of Christianity reject it so they would not agree with the statement that Jesus is God.

      What is the point you are saying is controversial? Would a divine being not have a penis?

      There are “multiple” denominations of divinity-rejectors, but I think they represent a rather small minority of Christianity. Jehovah’s Witnesses and who else?

        I think it would make more sense if they had something more in-between . Maybe Jesus just had a huge clit, like a female hyena.

          Jesus gets pregnant through sounding and gives birth through his dick. 10/10 interpretation. Make this canon.

            I have been trying to present my hypothesis to the pope, but the fucking swiss dudes won’t let me near him with my presentation board.

          There’s no sense to be made anywhere in the story of Jesus, but I was wondering if one unwritten tradition (or maybe written) would be the equipmentless angels from Dogma (Alan Rickman’s Metatron).

            Idk, the huge clit thing is kinda thematic. It would be cool if angels could be tempted by pleasure, even create life, but doing so would be super painful.

              One of my favorite comments about Jesus is, “So basically Jesus has the morality of an average woman, but he’s a man so that makes him special somehow?”

                Seeee, my theory explains a lot of inconsistencies about Jesus. A moralistic man from ancient Mesopotamia is just too far fetched. I need to put together a slide show for the pope so we can retcon this.
