    He probably was jacked. Being a carpenter back then meant going into a forest, cutting down a tree, and hauling it out of there.

      Except he wasn’t a “carpenter” in the sense that we think of it. He wasn’t a woodworker building tall tables and chairs. The translation would be more accurate as “builder” or “construction worker”. Would still be in good shape, but nothing out of the ordinary.

        Damn straight. I’ll only accept a Jesus into my heart who can bench press a camel.

        Edit: and then karate kick it through the eye of a needle. (Also, my instance is having problems and I don’t know how that was posted extra times.)
