Are there many people or even one in the bible with the same name as
someone else?



You're talking about an era, a community with one zip code.

One yellow page.

One phone booth.

A place where every one goes to one person house to watch TV.


If you need a carpenter, ...who do you call?

Who cares?  In the real world there are and always have been many
people who have the same name.

One the several that worked in every community.  

Just what do you think the population of the world was at that time? A
dozen or so?  Do you really think one person in ANY occupation could
have satisfied the demand for his or her services?

Pity the poor hooker.  She would never get any sleep.

"Jesus" is a modified version of "Joshua".  Many kids in Israel were
named after the most famous general in the country's history.  His
parents "Mary" and "Joseph" were pretty much the most common names in
the culture.

I understand that in the Italian Mafia there are a lot of guys named..Paulie,

but how many "Mary" and "Joseph" are in the bible??


How many guys named Jesus Christ were there???



This planet has 6 billion people. How many guys named Greg Goss are there?



There are 6 billion people today on this planet...honestly, how many people you
know with the same name as someone else?


Now, if you ask me...I don't know any girls named Mary, and maybe one guy named Joesph...

I used to know a girl named Mary, but that was years and years ago. I haven't met another Mary since.


What is your sister's name?

250,000 World population number during the time of Jesus Christ...
divide that number into countries.....there weren't that many people
hanging out at the corner drug store.

Hookers *sleep* with people for a living...they gets lots of sleep!

They lay down for a living...

Haven't you been with a hooker before? You pay her to sleep with you...




Maybe the hookers you been with only sleep for 3 seconds...



But if you want to know how many hookers there were during Jesus Christ time...
since most hookers were Jewish girls...I would say...thousands!

Pointing out something that is obvious is hardly bringing something
up.  I was simply stopping an invalid point before it started.

Enough to have more than one person in any particular profession,
especially if it was one that was widely needed.

Actually I have not found it necessary - there have been enough

Probably like today, they came in all sorts of size, color, and
flavor.

If that were true, the steady growth of Christianity for 2000 years would have
erupted in war over those that tried to change what Jesus said and did.

Nonsense.  For most of that time there was one single organization
that had total control over the entire subject and could make whatever
changes it desired.

It even decided what was included in it's mythology and what was not.
Making everything fit was an obvious goal.

Some of the Republican positions I find disgusting and abhorrent.

Most of the Democratic positions I find terrifying, especially 
those proposed by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Ass.

Any day now I expect some liberal to demand a government 
guaranteed above average income for every person.

Every illegal alien is a criminal.
No amnesty or work permit under any name or for any reason.
Deportation upon identification as the only option.

You have yet to prove any god ever existed or that anything spiritual
ever existed.

Some of the Republican positions I find disgusting and abhorrent.

Most of the Democratic positions I find terrifying, especially 
those proposed by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Ass.

Any day now I expect some liberal to demand a government 
guaranteed above average income for every person.

Every illegal alien is a criminal.
No amnesty or work permit under any name or for any reason.
Deportation upon identification as the only option.

If you must text and drive please kill yourself quickly
before you run into me.
