When Manchester City tweeted this morning asking followers to join in a Q&A with Spanish footballer Jesus Navas, using the hashtag #ASKJESUS, they were - probably knowingly - asking for trouble.
#ASKJESUS: Got a question for @JNavas? We're sitting down with him today so get them in now! #mcfc pic.twitter.com/Slr8XcM9TA
— Manchester City FC (@MCFC) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">Twitter was soon flooded with tweets aimed at Jesus Christ, rather than the right winger, with plenty querying the details - and limits - of his miraculous abilities:
Can you turn water into any wine you want, or is it just your standard house red? #askjesus

— Christopher Atkins (@ChrisAtkins_) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">Others still raised questions about the inticacies of social media with the disciples:
In the Bible when you asked Peter to follow you, did he ask for a follow back? #AskJesus
— Efo Dela (@Amegaxi) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">Some wondered whether Navas himself might be better placed elsewhere on the field:
#AskJesus Have you ever thought of becoming a goalkeeper, as saving is your speciality? @MCFC @JNavas
— Deepu Thomas (@DeepuThomas666) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">#AskJesus Which winger does God prefer, you or Moses?
— Michał Gutka (@mgutka26) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">And one wondered whether he should consider other occupations entirely:
You were originally a carpenter yeah? I have some unfinished DIY projects about the house so I’m wondering if you do cash jobs? #AskJesus
— The Ombeardsman (@Atomic_Moog) July 28, 2014" data-caption="null" data-credit="null">TV personality and journalist Dawn O'Porter pondered something a little more serious:
Have YOU ever met your dad? #askJesus
— Dawn O'Porter (@hotpatooties) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">But the same couldn't be said for most:
Do you have to buy 2 Father's Day cards and do Joseph and your real dad get on? #AskJesus
— RazzleSazzle (@SarahEdwards0) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">How awkward was it between you and Joseph on Fathers' Day? #AskJesus
— Ian Power (@IHPower) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">MINT ENCORE: “You fed 5,000 people with 3 loaves and 2 fishes. Why couldn’t you bake Yaya a cake?” #askjesus

— Christian (@CSJDKK1) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">#AskJesus How does it feel having more than 12 followers now? @JNavas @MCFC
— CHIEF. (@FutbolOverload) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">On a scale of 1-Kanye West, How much of an ego trip is it when the team prays in your name? #AskJesus
— Olúmúyiwá (@Mr_Svengali) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">Can you turn blue seats in to fans like you turned water in to wine? #AskJesus
— Tony Bridger (@TonyBridger1) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">Aren't you a bit old to still be living with your dad? #AskJesus
— Dan Crowter (@ravingleftie) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">Was your favourite band 'The Carpenters' #AskJesus
— Captain Kidd (@kidd_kong78) July 28, 2014 " data-caption="null" data-credit="null">But this guy pretty much summed it up:
#AskJesus do you think the hashtag should maybe have been #askNavas ?
