As a human being. I'm sure Jesus made mistakes too, he was perfect in the sense of having the utmost purity (in terms of loving his father, God) but he was human and there was no way he was perfect. If Jesus is. Then we all are too. And we know that's not true. This show is a trip BTW. Being raised in the hood and all I find it funny and not offensive

I can easily see why many would be up-in-arms about the concept of a show like this. There are several with strong opinions whom may not have made it past the title, but the show actually has a good message. Its just deep within the funny and realistic (though often crude) story telling. This show has a certain audience, many of which are Christian, but if it's not your cup of tea, try not to pass judgment onto those that find it entertaining.

Some don't understand that Jesus ran with cut throat type of guys(disciples). Yes he did die for our sins,but he came to lead by example. This show is no better than the preachers that give a sermon on one sentence out the book but if the whole verse was read his sermon would not match up. He wants us to open our minds,and believe in yourself,GOD The Father,and know that he is the way to his father...Jesus, Son of GOD
