I don't reject Christ. I love Christ. It's just that so many of your Christians are so unlike Christ.

The Fellowship of the Believers​

42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

I wonder how the Prosperity theology (sometimes referred to as the prosperity gospel, the health and wealth gospel, the gospel of success, or seed faith) reconcile their greed with the meaning of scripture.

I didn’t realize you knew him personally. I’d love to hear how we all fall short.

I find it interesting - and revealing - that his thread triggered you.

"Your" Christians? Please explain your meaning here.

Shouldn’t it be thy Christians?

"Your" Christians? Please explain your meaning here.

It's something Gandhi said in an interview way back when.

Then there's the fact that the Talmud says that the son of God is supposed to be some dude named Edmund or something like that.

Edmund.

One can see why Jesus was preferred.

Which "Christ"?

Vengeance Christ? Hippie Christ? Entrepreneurial Christ? And that's just the Jesus version of Christ.

There's several to choose from.

Supposedly, there's no evidence Ghandi said it.

From a Gizmodo article: A similar quote appears to be from an Indian philosopher named Bara Dada, brother of Rabindranath Tagore. The full quote from Dada appears to be from the mid-1920s: “Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians, you are not like him."

Either way, same message.

I preferred the bumper sticker:

Dear Jesus, please save me from your followers.

14 inches, which is what nearly everyone here says is their personal measurement, isn't exactly "short."

I like that one too.

My favorite: I don't need to pretend someone's watching in order to behave.

Jesus Fucking Christ?

 

[LincolnDuncan]

The alleged Christians refer to their Swiss cheese bible reciting only the parts they believe support their vision of reality. Funny that no one ever quotes the Beatitudes. Or that homosexuality is not even one of the 10 commandments. Please don't get me started on the phony Christians, I have to go to work.

I get a kick out of watching conservative Christians squirm when I point out the at the first church headed by Saint Peter was an egalitarian commune, and that some parishioners were sentenced to death for concealing their wealth.

Right now...I bet Pat Robertson is wishing there wasn't a place called Hell.

 

[ll74]

There isn't a place called hell. There's a fictional land called hell.

 

[RoryN]

There isn't a place called hell. There is, however, a state called "Florida".

FYP. YW.

 

[Dribble]

FYP. YW.

And Texas

Religious virgins can keep their virginity by doing anal until marriage. We could call the asshole the Jesus hole.

The Talmud does not say that.
