Liberating you from bad ideas about God
I love the Christian comics strips of ASBO Jesus. Whether you agree with the ideas and theology in these cartoons or not, they might encourage you to laugh at some of the quirks of Christianity. And if we cannot laugh at ourselves, we might be taking ourselves too seriously.
Here are some of my recent favorites from ASBO Jesus. Enjoy!
I often try to post something fun and lighthearted on Sundays. I recently saw this crazy little video of a sport I have never seen before.
I would love to see what happens to the guys who don’t make it across the river!
I discovered this video over at The Christian Monist. It shows what happens when you tell your pastor you are switching churches.
Clearly… if you are switching churches it can only mean that you are a backslider, have fallen away from the faith, are living in sin, and have become carnal.

I know the date that Jesus will return!
I figured it out! The math was always there for people to see, but in these last days, God has seen fit to reveal the truth to me, His chosen prophet, of the exact day that Jesus will return! It is privilege to be the first person on earth who knows when Jesus will return.
Here is how the Holy Spirit helped me figure it out:
First, I was reading the book of Daniel, and noticed that in Daniel 12, Daniel mentions a few different spans of time. In Daniel 12:7 he mentions “time, times, and half a time” which is a prophetic way of saying 3 1/2 years. This is proven by other passages that use similar terminology to refer to 42 months or 1260 days (cf. Rev 11:2-3; 12:6; 13:5 14, Dan 7:25; 12:7).
Later in Daniel 12, he writes about a similar period of time, but this one is 1290 days. Many people have speculated about why this period of time is 30 days longer than the 3 1/2 years mentioned earlier in the chapter, but the reason will be obvious in a moment. But for now, we should also recognize this second period of 1290 days as another 3 1/2 years, though this time is is 43 months.
So you take the 1260 days and the 1290 days and add them together, and you get 2550 days. As all prophecy experts know, this is not referring to days only, which would be about 7 years, but also to a period of time in years. So Daniel is making a prophecy of something that will happen 2550 years in the future. But when did the countdown begin?
Well, thankfully, Daniel tells us. In Daniel 9:25, we are told to begin counting the years until the Messiah comes when the decree goes forth to rebuild Jerusalem. So if we want to know when Jesus will return, we begin counting when the Jewish people were told they could begin rebuilding Jerusalem. When did this happen? This decree first went out under Cyrus in 536 BC.
Hope you are enjoying some time with friends and family today as here in the United States we celebrate Independence Day! Rather than post something about Scripture or theology, I decided to give you a few laughs to help you enjoy your day.
