But let’s suggest some things he WOULDN’T facebook:

1. Jesus would not post endless streams of mocking pictures of and posts of NBC anchor Brian Williams failings. Or anyone else’s.

2. Jesus wouldn’t post hateful things about Barack Obama. Or George W. Bush. Or Mitt Romney. Or anyone. Ever.

3. I Don’t know what Jesus’ position would be on the 2nd Amendment. I suspect he wouldn’t (or doesn’t) have one. But even if he did, I don’t think he would celebrate and glorify guns on his facebook page. I just don’t.

4. Maybe Jesus would have some strong political opinions. I’m not sure. But if he did, he would never let his zeal to express those opinions lead him to post anything that would in any way compromise the values the he taught and lived.

To sum up, Jesus may have ridden into Jerusalem on an ass. But he would never have acted like one on facebook.

I have. And so have some of you. Let’s stop.

I have never posted on Facebook, so I can't be included in in your final statement, but neither can I agree with everything here. Jesus rebuked those who opposed the Gospel to their face. He mocked them privately with the disciples. He warned the disciples about them repeatedly. The Apostles learned from Jesus and continued with the same admonitions. Whether Jesus or the Apostles would have used Facebook is irrelevant, but the rest of your discussion is open to debate.
