   You lost me - but it probably wasn’t supposed to make sense.

   They’re just playing with words like kids do. His name was Judas Iscariot and they’re making it sound like carry out.

   I get the feeling that Ruthie and Joe’s parents don’t study the Bible with them at home and give the children the common pronunciation of Bible character names.

   Most people say “Is-care-ee-uht;” but is should be pronounces as “ees-car-ee-oht.”

   Ruthie doesn’t “play with words;” she never really listens to how some words are correctly pronounced. But, what do you expect from a know-it-all 6 year old?

   Their kindergarten friend, James, probably doesn’t know that in the original Greek version of the New Testament, there is no person named James.

   The real author of the “Epistle of James” is actually named “Jacob.”

   I find this to be very funny.

   Joe Allen Doty:

   Nit-picky of me, but how can you tell how something is pronounced in the Bible? Isn’t it, as a written work, not verbal? Different people pronounce things different ways and who’s to say that one person is right? TomAto/Tomahto, PotAto, Potahto.

   Joe Allen is right. There is no “James” in the real Bible. In the original, all the Jameses are actually Jacobs - or more accurately, even, Yaakob.

   The English James is derived from the Italian Giacomo, as in Puccini’s 1st name.

   “Iscariot” is a mystery. Maybe from “Ish Kariot” - “Man of Crete” or from Sicarius, knife-man (terrorist).

   Probably not from “Scariest” or “carry-out,” since the Bible was not written in English. The English language did not even exist then. It was invented in the 12th century as a Pidgin mix of French Norman and Anglo-Saxon.

   l’ve heard of people being god fearing people,
   not judas fearing people…

   it is interesting though, how the commonwealth of judea(?)
   killed jesus…

   l don’t welcome anything associated with an excuse for what would be evil, period.

   lf god made the devil, then who is worse?

    Nah, god is the scariest guy. You break one silly rule, and the next thing you know, he forecloses on your home, jams an apple piece in your throat, gives your main gal painful pregnancies, sticks you with death, then he drowns your descendants.

    And what about Lucifer? One little disagreement, and he creates Hell.

    he also killed his own son, just to punish him for everybody else’s crimes.

    Seriously, move over Tony Soprano. There’s a bigger dude in need of serious psychiatric help.
