Everyone is so welcome in hell, they leave a little mint on your pillow for you! :) Of course...it melts before you get to enjoy it. :(

"Prayer is not a wish list."

All this advice about what prayer shouldn't be. Wouldn't it be shorter to post a list of what it should be?
And there are certainly no biblical examples of someone ever giving his opinion in a prayer, or even making a request.

Hmm...I actually can't fit in my funeral until the April after next. And even then, I might want to put it off some.
My note on the above sign: I'm sure this sign is just a beacon of welcoming light to those who are recently grieving the loss of a loved one. "Oh, look, they're making light of a recently devestating situation in my life. I think I'll visit there."
Jerks for Jesus, indeed.
Keep 'em coming.
Shouldn't that be "Believe in God and go to Hell"?
ReplyDeleteBecause according to Paul even the demons believe and tremble.
Yeah, good exegesis there guys. Way to go. Apparently ninety five percent of the western world is now on their way to heaven.
Right. Well, there's belief in God, such as in James 2:19, where what the demons believe, apparently, is that there is one God (the Shema, you know.) But merely the belief in his existence and oneness is not enough. We must act on that belief, James says, or it's dead faith.
ReplyDeleteThen, there's belief in God, where we might translate it as "putting your faith/trust in God"--which the Greek makes a bit plainer than English.
If only more church signs were in koine Greek! :-D

ReplyDeleteSorry. I slip into preacher/Bible prof mode without warning.
ReplyDeleteAfter going to Bible school, every now and then I want to show off my very limited Greek skills too.
