Thanksgiving Turkeys, Jesus Barabbas and Jesus called Messiah

Do you remember the TV show “Touched by an Angel”? I watched it this past Sunday. God had called angels Tess and Monica and Adam to help three people trapped in adultery to face the truth in time for Thanksgiving dinner.

“Monica and Tess arrange an accident on a deserted road for Megan and Susana, two women involved with the same man. The angels create an estate where the women and eventually Susana’s husband spend Thanksgiving together. The angels are assisted by Adam, who doesn’t have the heart to kill the turkey for dinner. Monica convinces Megan that she must find someone else and Tess convinces Jack to return to his marriage.”

In the TV Show “Touched by an Angel, guess what the Turkey’s name is, that Adam does not have the heart to kill for dinner? It’s not “Drumstick or Wishbone? It’s Alexander.

TAKE NOTE!! Touched by an Angel is a TV show about ANGELS who cannot die…and who preach the message of the Cross, that is a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness for Gentiles (1 Corinthians 1:23).

ALEXANDER…according to Smith’s Bible Dictionary is a man of mischief who (according to Paul) caused a great shipwreck concerning the faith.

Alexander and Hymenaeus, the God of Marriage, were (and still are) causing trouble for Paul’s evangelical crew and mission.  In addition, gnostic teaching was insisting that the resurrection of Jesus was a spiritual one, and not a bodily one.  So, Paul handed Alexander and Hymenaeus over to Satan (aka Simon aka Peter (Matthew 16:23) to learn not to blaspheme, because according to Paul no one should be a stumbling block for his/her brother/sister. All should live according to the Law of Love (Romans 14:12-13).

It is important to know who Alexander is and why turkeys are important for Canadians and Americans at Thanksgiving and Christmas.  When I was growing up, we were taught the Turkey’s name was Tom…and the empty cavity stuffed with bread had something to do with Jesus and the Pope’s nose was the tail.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and neighbours, may you have a feast day full of Love!
