What happens if the Catholics clone Jesus?

Without some method of preservation, they would get absolutely nothing from any 2000 year old blood residue. And no, amber does not work either.

But it would be pretty funny, if the clone turned out to be the antichrist, because the Jesus DNA is naturally evil, and must be overridden by installing the “holy ghost” operating system after birth.
But they fail to realise it until it is too late, and evil Jesus becomes the leader of the world, and destroys humanity.

Precisely, my thoughts.

I guess first thing is reanimate Crichton, so we can get the screenplay going…

Jesus spent a lifetime gaining wisdom as he was certainly NOT immediately born with it.
So cloning would only be of a physical person not the Spiritual Jesus as assumed.

Clone Jesus from what?? He was merely a man, like any other…

We would learn what he REALLY looks like.

Since no human has been cloned, we don’t know how much of Jesus’ personality traits will carry over. There is also the factor of nurture. Who gets to carry the embryo and rear him? What is that environment like? Would he be told who he is? What if he was brought up in another country?

Thanks for being an especially good sport, and answering with a sense of wonderful curiosity.

We’re always in need of smart, charismatic Jewish guys. Why not?

When we were trying to get out of the house, my dad always told me “you’re slower than the second coming of Christ”.

I don’t think the Catholics would clone Jesus, it’s Jewish people that have been waiting for the Messiah.

And the Evangelicals would say, “oh fuck, now everyone will know we’ve been lying to them.”

If we can determine which chromosomes came from God, would we be able to figure out what God is like?

@zenvelo

But Jews don’t believe that the Messiah is or will be any kind of supernatural being. Just an ordinary man conceived, birthed and without special powers, like the rest of us. If I’m not mistaken, they also view the Messiah as more of a temporal leader who will liberate the Jewish people. They do not view him as some redeemer of mankind who purifies sin by standing in as a blood sacrifice.

Though as I understand it most Jews have abandoned the idea of a Messiah. Or believe that he was some historic figure who has already come and gone. I think it’s pretty much just the Lubavitchers who still hold on to Messianic belief.

I do not see why they would even consider cloning a false Messiah.

I’m still trying to figure out what could be asked or shown by this “person” to prove he was indeed who he was (made out to be).

Maybe, but if I were to have a say in it my vote would be no. I feel he got up to enough shenanigan’s the first go around.

Not wading in.

“It could be an interesting book or movie.”

Yes to everyone else but to that person that was the result of that cloning…a nightmare with so much pressure to be a “Spiritual ” leader!
Poor soul would end his life sooner because of the expectations on him.

Kind of happened to the first one, too.
Rape baby that was told he was going to be the Messiah.
Went completely mad as an adult. Started cursing at trees, had delusions of turning water into wine, and multiplying fish, wandered through a desert and hallucinated having an exchange with the devil. Completely barmy.

^^ Loli apparently had no problem wading in! LOL

It is not possible because Jesus were a invention like his father. Jesus did not exist. God the father did not exist.

Star Trek DS9(?) had an episode where they cloned the first Klingon emperor. It would go along similar lines.
