Why do some people say jebus

Before Jesus came, it was the Pharisees particularly, as well as the Sadducees and scribes, who set the moral standard for the community. They sat in the highest places in the synagogue.

They were the ones who were most honored and celebrated for their virtue, but their virtue, as Jesus taught repeatedly, was a pretense. It was external. You clean the outside of the platter, but the other side, the inner side, is filthy. You do everything possible to hide that impurity, that grime, and that filthiness from public view. You pretend to be righteous, and you major in that pretense of being righteous. The Pharisees started in the intertestamental period as a group who were upset because the people were abandoning the purity of the covenant that they had made with God and were being lax in their morality and in their obedience to the commandments of God.

So the Pharisees sought to draw together and draw apart from the masses and to set a moral example. These were the conservatives of the day.

They had a high system of honor and virtue, and they committed themselves to obeying God. In fact, one sect among the Pharisees believed that if they could keep every law that God gave in the Old Testament for just twenty-four hours, then that would prompt God to send the Messiah to Israel.

In a word, they were counterfeit. They were fake. And nothing reveals a counterfeit like the presence of the genuine. When Jesus walked this earth, true righteousness and holiness was manifested by Him before the eyes of the people.

And Gentiles who approach Christ in faith receive what they desire The 5, at the first meal were Israelites; there were 12 basketfuls left over, one for each tribe. Even though Israel eats first, the Gentiles are fed too. One other layer to this story is worth mentioning. Jesus is the second example in Scripture of a prophet running from the official king and queen of Israel, encountering a desperate Gentile woman, having a conversation about food, and healing her child.

But the Bread of Life is different. He provides the food himself—not just for one person or people group , but for the starving thousands, and indeed the world. Have something to add about this?

The only place I've ever heard the word jebus is on this forum and I don't think it's widely used.

I agree with the OP that it's probably often used as a gesture of disrespect but think of all of the various names that are substituted for Jesus by believers such as The King of Kings, yeshua I just learned that one yesterday , The Prince Of Peace, etc.

Anyone who is widely known often gets nicknames, some of which are not supposed to be flattering. Jesus is probably the most famous person in history so this is something I would expect to happen and I don't see it as a very important issue. Originally Posted by BergenCountyJohnny.
