Talk:Jebus

Jebus vs. Jeebus (in SImpsons)
Jebus (The Simpsons) leads to Homer Simpson, where it's mentioned as "Jeebus" not "Jebus". A misleading redirect it is. --Menchi 07:06, Aug 2, 2003 (UTC)

Simpsons Reference
JEBUS - Definition: Homer Simpson's version of Christ.

Homer Simpson coined this term when he shouted: "I can't be a missionary! I don't even believe in Jebus!" and "Oh save me Jebus !!!", following his forced exile to a missionary outpost in a remote tropical island.

Family Guy Reference
In the Family Guy episode 'Holy Crap', one of the Pope's aides, who is reading the bible is heard to say "Hey, have you ever noticed this? On page 375 it says 'Jebus'!". Another aide says "It's supposed to be 'Jesus', Right?".

Many believe the use of Jebus in Family Guy was stolen from The Simpsons, but the Family Guy episode aired first. An easter egg near the end of the Simpsons episode showing the Family Guy logo indicated that in fact the Simpsons' writers were referencing Family Guy.

Jeebus history
There are claims the related word "Jeebus" is used in Frank Zappa's Them or Us. Others state that it was originally a, somewhat sincere, mistaken pronunciation some African American Christians made in the Old South. Or that it was a racial slur about the alleged "bad english" of African Americans. In any event I personally think it's very unlikely it originated in the Simpsons or Family Guy as I had heard it before either. I might have to look through one of the books I read on Nancy Astor because I think she used something like it to mock black English back in the 1930s.--T. Anthony 03:53, 5 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Scratch that. I checked lyrics for that album, but "Jeebus" wasn't in it.--T. Anthony 04:00, 5 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I've heard "Jeebus" almost everytime I tried to listen to a black gospel radio station, that's how the term became known to me. Guanaco152003 12:35, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Purpose??
What is this "disambiguation" page really good for? The first three bullet points all refer to the same thing, namely Jerusalem prior to the alleged conquest by the biblical David. And the "Jebusite" article contains links to this article. There should be a "Jebus (Bible)" article, also to make clear that the term "Jebus" lacks non-biblical confirmation. Rabbinical writings or the text of the Tanakh/Bible are insufficient to constitute factual accuracy about an ancient settlement. The Simpson thing clearly lacks notability (although I kinda like the Simpsons). Cush (talk) 18:05, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The Simpsons/Family Guy sense is presumed notable for now bcz of better-than-dictdef coverage on Bible errata, tho the Missionary: Impossible coverage is too slight to lk to. Whether because they believe "Jebus" to be a fort, city, or region inhabited by the Jebusites, a lk to that article is appropriate for those who either remember only that conjectural place name or don't expect a "Jebusite" article any more than they expect a Minneapolitan one. It's also possible that Jebus (fortress) ("fortress on the hill of Zion captured by King David") will be written, or that History of Jerusalem, Timeline of Jerusalem, History of ancient Israel and Judah, or United Monarchy will be expanded to discuss Jerusalem in the period when it is said to have been called "Jebus", thus justifying Dab'n to them from the "Jebus" Dab. However, under no circumstances could the following information, previously continuing the "*Jerusalem – Jebus ..." entry, be part of a Dab page:
 * (יבוס, Standard Hebrew Yəvus, Tiberian Hebrew Yəḇûs) was the name of Jerusalem before it was captured by the Israelites (Joshua 18:28; Judges 19:10-14; 1 Chronicles 11:4-5); however, the Amarna letters suggest that the pre-Israel Canaanite population also called the city Jerusalem.

 * Jebus means threshing floor. The threshing floor was on the ophel, not Mt. Moriah to the north. This lends to the belief the Jewish Temples were on Mt. Zion instead of Mt. Moriah — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.234.213.31 (talk) 23:04, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Urantia Book
93:2.4 Within a few years Melchizedek had gathered around himself a group of pupils, disciples, and believers who formed the nucleus of the later community of Salem. He was soon known throughout Palestine as the priest of El Elyon, the Most High, and as the sage of Salem. Among some of the surrounding tribes he was often referred to as the sheik, or king, of Salem. Salem was the site which after the disappearance of Melchizedek became the city of Jebus, subsequently being called Jerusalem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.82.127.35 (talk) 03:39, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
