The Comic Book Bible

Product Information

Of course, once Jesus gets to Earth it’s Sunstar that ends up learning a thing or two about what it means to save people, and also about his and God the Father’s very different experiences of humanity. For God the Father humanity is a constant disappointment, barely worth paying attention to any more. “You abandon thse people and thousands perish. You help them and thousands of people perish,” he tells Sunstar as we see the Jews using the Ark of the Covenant to wage war. “They’re made out of mud! What do you expect?” For Jesus on the other hand, his touchstone is his relationship with childhood friend Shimon. Jesus gives Shimon his father’s carpentry shop after he begins his ministry, but Shimon is soon forced by the Romans to forge crosses, which absolutely alienates him from his fellow Jews. On the road to his own crucifixion, bloody and exhausted, Jesus comes across Shimon again. And he tells Sunstar, “You think the most important thing I did that day was being nailed to some wood?! It wasn’t,” as he hugs Shimon, comforting him. Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. (What scripture?)

https://kingstonecomics.com/collections/animated-comics/products/101-questions-5-is-the-resurrection-a-true-storyIn a small town in northern England, an actor playing God in a retelling of the stories of the Bible is murdered. The prime suspect is the man playing the Devil (who may or may not be the actual Devil). And the detective on the case? Well, his last name is Carpenter. You be the judge. Do you think there could be a demand for something like that in Christian circles? I've been studying other comic book versions of the Bible, and as someone who has been writing and reading comics for a long time, they don't tend to be particularly high-quality comics. (See my above desire to make something which is more than a Sunday School teaching aide.) I was really inspired by The Chosen TV show, and I would really like to create a comic book or an original graphic novel which relates the stories contained within the Bible in a manner which is also a genuinely high-quality creative work.

Only through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, our kinsman-redeemer, can we be saved. John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not containthe books that should be written. Amen. John 2:22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. (Jesus talked about raising himself from the dead after 3 days. What scripture is that?)

https://kingstone.co/collections/kingstone-bible-comic-collection/products/kingstone-bible-volume-3 For as long as there have been comics, there have been books of all different kinds. While many think of comics as superhero stories, there have also been horror books, war books, romances, detective stories, science fiction, fantasies, mysteries. Today that’s even more the case. https://kingstonecomics.com/collections/animated-comics/products/101-questions-11-is-there-such-a-thing-as-absolute-truth Luke mentions that many people wrote about Jesus, but we only have two gospels before Luke in our Bibles. I have a fragment of the Gospel of Peter. Then there is also the Gospel of Nicodemus, that I think should be in our Bibles, but it seems like everybody follows Constantine as if he is God himself. There is also a Gospel of Thomas, but it is reported to be Gnostic. One interesting thing is that Thomas said that the sheep that went astray was the biggest sheep. I always thought of it as a little lamb, because when I was a little boy, I saw a beautiful painting of Jesus carrying a little lamb on the side of a rugged mountain. I knew a minister once who went astray, and he turned against me, and left the church. Many years later when I spoke to his first wife, she told me that he had now been married six times. He was a big sheep. Once I knew an evangelist that came against me when I was singing on TV. Many years later I spoke to his first wife, and she was very angry that he had left her. When I last saw him, he had a third wife. He was a big sheep.
