My church is doing a weekly bible study during lent that focuses on the question, who is Jesus? In our first meeting we were given these questions to get us thinking a bit:
Do you think that Jesus was ever truly tempted to go against the will of God?
Do you believe that Jesus thought the world was flat?
Do you think Jesus understood the internet?
Which do you think is more important: 1) recognizing that Jesus was more than a teacher, or 2) living by his teachings?
Which more nearly expresses your conviction about Jesus: 1) He was a Godly man, 2) He was a manly God, 3) He was God and man, 4) I haven’t a clue.
The Nicene Creed(AD 325) declares that Jesus is “very God and very man.” Does this suggest that while the Christ “became flesh” and lived within a human body; at the same time he always thought the thoughts of God?
Do you think that the “soul” of Jesus died as well as his body when he was crucified?

Interesting questions. I especially like the one about whether Jesus would have thought that the world was flat. Jesus was fully man and therefore might have been "limited" by the current views of the day. And much of knowledge is merely temporary, so would it have really mattered theologically if Jesus had misconceptions about worldly details? On the other hand, He was fully God, and therefore omnicient.
This makes me wonder...if Jesus would have been raised today and in today's culture, what would He think about the creation-evolution "debate"? As a biologist who is Christian, I would certainly like to pick his brain on the topic. :)
Hm, I always like Lenten questions. Definitely keep posting them if you get the chance. :)
