Any doctrine that weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.
(John Dewey)
Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company.

I agree,
and bet he was addressed as such now and again as he walked the earth. When I have old testiment talks with my Hebrew friends more than one speak of Jesus as "My Rabbi" not "A Rabbi" but mine. they have told me that means a Rabbi is "a teacher of the Torah" or "My Master". Too tired to google but am mildly sure a regular teacher is a moreh.

in Matthew 16:13 Jesus asked the disciples(this is my recollection not a real translation), "who do others say that I am?" a variety of answers were given by Simon Peter. then Jesus asked, "Who do you say that I am?"
in this case my friend Franco only(as i noted) referenced Jesus as Rabbi. with "Saints" being a "churchy" word i thought it might be a little funny to give his team a similar but "non churchy" mascot.

There are 8 usages of the word Rabbi. 5 of them are from followers/disciples addressing him as Rabbi.
The other 3 are in a record in Mathew 23:1-10,, for context,, where Jesus is telling them not to refer to themselves as Rabbi and gives examples of the negative side of Rabbi or the misleading side of Rabbi also because there is only one Rabbi or better interpreted master. That is JC
"My Rabbi "then is my master and teacher and that personal Rabbi is JC. They may be christian whether they like it or not (. (.

Hey, if it were up to me, I would have named them the New Orleans Bourbons after the French Dynasty that was in power when the city was founded. The Fleur de Lis is a symbol of the Bourbon and Sun King dynasties.
A little History trivia; the city was named such in honor of the Maid Of Orleans. A photo of her statue is in my avatar. Anyone know her alias?
I stole the term "Rabbi Jesus" straight from Thomas Jefferson's Bible.

Where do we go without great leaders for the defense of our liberties? Who will defend our right to live our lives _as we chose_ without others taking that from us? The answer is, as it should be, no one. We are the defense of our rights and should always remember that. Libertarian blogger
