Hahahaha. That is so perfect.
Mark Pixley says
Thats cute but it really enforces the idea that the only thing on Gods mind is holiness codes…it was kid of funny but the underlying theology does not soften because you laughed..
Redeeming God says
Good point. I almost made a little addendum to the post with that very thought in it, but decided against it. Glad you made the point.
Despite what most people think (and many churches teach) God is not in the sin management business.

>really enforces the idea that the only thing on Gods mind is holiness codes
Spend some time (OK, a lot of time) studying the holiness codes, and trying to figure out why they say what they say.
There is a very subtle theme that runs through them.
Pastor J says
Is that the theme identified by Lord Jesus to ‘the rich man asking about the greatest commandment’ (I think his name was Nicodemus)?
Roger Fankhauser says
This one did
Cheryl C Initial says
This one didn’t
Phil Tyler says
It’s funny but theological claptrap.
Kris Shiplet says
It makes it look like Jesus was upset that the verdict was death. The Gospels reveal it was the very reason why He came. Not funny and not Biblically accurate.
Pastor J says
We all have to die (eventually). Does that make “death” the very reason we are here? Does that make anybody ‘want’ to die?
Johnthomas says
haha! This is epic. Just brilliant… Loved it thanks!
JohnThomas Roseberry says
Haha I thought it was awesome. 🙂
Miriam Odurukwe says
Funny
Alabama Independent says
Whether it is funny or not, it is the simplest explanation of God’s Word to us and of us His love for us!
Dennis Miller says
I think it’s funny. History repeats itself and God keeps shaking His head and going “guys…” He is the ultimate example of grace and longsuffering.
Min Huang says
Funnyyyyyy
Mark McIntyre says
This is a somewhat humorous distortion. I’m in the kinda funny but not helpful camp on this one.
Pastor J says
‘not helpful’ to the legalistic theologians, but HELPFUL as a reminder of the lesson of ‘Simon Peter Walking on the Water to Jesus’ (popularized by a famous Christian-Rock song “Walk on Water”).
Mark McIntyre says
One can be theologically accurate without being legalistic . . . While this is humorous it misrepresents why Jesus came. I borrow from Ravi Zacharias who said, “Jesus did not come make bad people good, he came to make dead people live.”
Tony says
“Jesus did not come make bad people good, he came to make dead people live.”
I like that. Superb.
Padre217 says
Haha. I’m thinking that establishing “camps” for a clear attempt at humor is exactly what makes simplifying scripture feel refreshing.
Suzanne from Belfast says
Loved it.
Pastor J says
If I call myself a ‘troll,’ does that make it okay for others to? …
… Anyway …
Did the poster ‘ask’ not to be named, or is it just “standard courtesy” to black-out his/her/their/its name?
If you ask if you can tell us where you got it, and they say yes; will you edit it to give us a by-line on it?
Brad Jersak says
I did the things! This was pretty good.
Aaron Dudfield says
loool.
Dave Child says
Guys…
Chuck McKnight says
Ha!
Matthew Richardson says
Things ? What things ? I know noThing. I see noThing.
Aidan McLaughlin says
I love this! Lol lol lol lol lol. If only life was so simple eh! Lol lol lol. Chuckling away like a good un here. Lol lol lol lol.
Aidan McLaughlin says
I suppose it,s my duty to reflect now on this humour. Maybe life is that simple? A choice. Believe / Don,t believe. Live / Die. Love / Don,t love. Forgive / Don, t forgive. Not that we are spoilt for choice eh! Maybe life, s like a big massive sweet shop. Sour bitter sweets, and yummy sweet sweets. But then some people like sour bitter sweets. And there in lies the grey. Some people just plain like the things. In fact. We all like the things. Damn those pesky things. Troublesome little blighters. Take them of me jesus. Ta.
