Interesting commercial from Jesusgetsus.

[PotimusWillie]

The commercial says Jesus preached compassion.

He didn’t at all.

He preached salvation.

The message of Christ is turned awkwardly to meet the needs of man. Man should turn to meet Christ.

We all worship something. Possessions, career, life desires. All that is fleeting and creates enormous frustrations in life as we work to conform and obtain. Idolatry is empty.

The Jesus gets us folks, while promoting Christ in name, isn’t promoting what Christ taught. The forewarning of that is vivid in scripture.

Just an observation.

 

[Whosyodawgy]

I noticed some frayed ends to their messaging from early on and I wonder who is the money behind this. I think it may be leftists trying to use Christianity against Christians just as we have seen our adversaries use freedom against freedom by stretching the meaning to include gross immorality.

Yep, it’s an interesting underlying tone. He didn’t come to accept man in His indulgences, rather, He came to reset mankind with the plan of salvation involving His blood sacrifice to take our sins off us. But the caveat is repentive sin, not redefinition of willful sin. He did not redefine sin.

The theology of God accepting man’s sin is a lie.

He showed compassion to sinners when the religious leaders of that time preached judgement.

the money behind it is the Oklahoma and Kansas branch of the United Methodists. It's possible they have been given money by others but thats where all this originated.

[Whosyodawgy]

Let's just set this straight.
First, Jesus did teach compassion for sinners.

com·pas·sion
noun
sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.
"the victims should be treated with compassion"

Compassion does not mean permissiveness of evil.
He forgave them the sin and then said, "GO AND SIN NO MORE".
JOHN 8: 1-11
The word compassion has been massaged like some smarmy lawyer trying to get a guilty client acquitted.
The corruptive influence of evil in the world has fooled a lot of people. Many times it is by stretching the meaning of words to include the absurd. But they, just like the 'rats on this board, are people who don't want to know ... or hide from the fact that they do.

From what I've read notable conservative David Green of Hobby Lobby fame has donated considerably to the cause and the Servant Foundation, which funds the ad campaigns has also donated to pro-life causes and causes that enable business to turn away gay customers.

 

[PotimusWillie]

He showed compassion to sinners when the religious leaders of that time preached judgement.

He preached salvation. He showed the religious leaders the hypocrisy of their teachings.

Compassion for His creation came in the act of His crucifixion. He never once showed compassion for sin. He demanded them to repent to be saved each and every time He forgave. He never approved their sin.

The message that Christ accepts us where we are is a lie. If we aren’t willing to meet Him at His Word for salvation, we go to Hell, separated from Him. He loves us enough to give us free will, and with that, loves us enough to discipline us in consequence of our sin. He is not a liar, but somehow, new theology, to be accepted, basically says God is a liar and His Word is false.

The lie in our culture now is that there is no consequence for what we do.

I realized the same thing and even asked my wife “When is the last time a commercial gave a positive message of Jesus?” It is just another example of Christian hating folks misleading others in the name of God. It may have been backed by a Methodist group, but it is pushing a false narrative.

Compassion and tolerance are two different things, but Christ is being portrayed as a tolerant compassionate. That is a lie.

Christ taught us salvation. He then held us to it.

Compassion truly has no place in the salvation story. Compassion cannot provide eternal life. Compassion is a reaction to others. Works cannot provide acceptance by God, only adherence to God’s Word.

That God accepts us is confusing. He loves His creation, as we love our own children. And He is not a liar. His Word stands above what we want. That is the point. He is willing to send us to hell. That does not meet our societies definition of compassion.

Sure thing! Here's an AP article describing the Alliance Defending Freedom was supporting a business not wanting to take business from gay people: https://apnews.com/article/us-supre...scrimination-9f2a76e9c72b6e0dc2a513a968328799

They say it is a free speech issue. To me it is a direct line to the public accommodation protections offered to Black people in the 20th century.

There is a difference in "a business not wanting to take business from gay people" and gay people demanding a specialized service that may be in conflict with a business owner's convictions. I'm pretty sure almost everyone supports the idea that a gay couple could get a cake baked for them that said happy birthday Jimmy. By the same token, I don't think support is very broad for forcing a bakery to produce a cake portraying 2 dudes bumping uglies. I guess there have been cases in the past where a business owner has refused their customary services to gay couples but that's not where we are now.

Compassion has nothing to do with accepting or forgiving. It means you feel sorry for them.
I feel sorry (have compassion) for the lost souls on this forum who scoff at God and then claim they are actually the ones representing the teachings of Jesus by espousing "inclusivity".

I asked you the question knowing where you would go.

No one was denied entry into a store because they were gay. No one was denied a purchase because they were gay. No one verbally called them out.



Religious freedom is paramount in our country. It separates us from other countries.

I have a question.

If I owned a company that made vulgar adult toys and hard porno movies, should I be able to force Toys are Us to set up a display for my company? Why or why not?

If Toys are us said no, do they hate me?

I would go find another sales outlet.

To me that is their right to refuse their business and tell them to find someone who will do business with them.

I asked you the question knowing where you would go.

No one was denied entry into a store because they were gay. No one was denied a purchase because they were gay. No one verbally called them out.

Should it be legal for that to happen? I think it should not. If you agree with me there I'd be fine

If I owned a company that made vulgar adult toys and hard porno movies, should I be able to force Toys are Us to set up a display for my company? Why or why not?

If Toy R Us sold sex toys and wanted to not sell your sex toys because you're Black I think that should be illegal

If Toys are us said no, do they hate me?

If they did so because you are Black or gay, then I would say yes.

I would go find another sales outlet.

How do you feel about marches against segregation? Should they all have found lunch counters that would serve them?

Who mentioned a Black person? Are we talking about black tran’s? Toys are us doesn’t sell sex toys. They sell toys to anyone who wants to buy a toy the sell, just like the bakeries.

Now if a white, black, trans, Baptist, Hindu or Muslim person walks in and asks the clerk to order them a sex toy, does the sales clerk have the right to tell them no? It just a toy after all.

You mention black and gay as if they are a particular class of human. Being black is a genetics issue, a race issue. Being gay is a sexual preference issue, so you lost me.

Are you just a racist hiding behind a transgender movement or is your point a religious freedom issue? I am confused.

As a straight white male and walk into a black trans bar and ask them to allow me to rent out their facility each week for trans de transition seminars on Saturday mornings and I want to put a sign on the road in front of the bar, do they have a right to tell me no? I think they do. It’s their business.

I am all for segregation. I don’t care for blacks.

I am all for segregation. I don’t care for blacks.

Why are you even on this site? The football team is majority black. Would you tell your feelings to Jalen Carter or Jordan Davis if you ran into them or would you hide your racism?

The reason I brought up segregation is that most people see that as a horrible evil, but you seem to be the exception. The team has often spoken out against hatred. Kirby literally cancelled practice to talk about "social injustices issues going on in our country" in 2020. I thank God you are in the minority, and if you never show your face at a UGA event in the future it would be better for everyone.

If you do go; I insist that you tell everyone around you about how you "don't care for blacks". Don't be a coward who sits silently. Be the asshole who gets banned from coming back to Sanford Stadium while the rest of us move forward

The drama and feelings quotient of your responses are fascinating. When satire is injected you are completely incapable of recognizing it. So then go off on some tangent about Kirby and social injustice.

We were talking about a Christian bakery refusing to make a specialty cake for a trans wedding and you go off on some racial diatribe.

Your slip is showing. Mr. Sharpton, when you are capable of enjoying a good debate on trans pastry choices, get back with me.

And be sure to read “Understanding Satire for Dummies” before you do. Don’t be a stupid trans black person, figure it out. Realize when you are being played and baited in a conversation. You won’t come across as being so naive’.

And that is honest advice.

And you wonder why your version of Christianity is not as popular as before

 

[PotimusWillie]

And you wonder why your version of Christianity is not as popular as before

There are no versions of Christianity. There are Christ followers and those that don’t follow Christ.

The term “Christianity” is a label. By your definition of Christian religion, Satan is a Christian. He believes in Christ and acknowledges who Christ is.

He also sets his own rules and openly promotes that the Bible is a lie and we are, in effect, our own God. That we tell God what we want, what is good for us, and tell Him how He will accept us. That our ultimate happiness is the point. ……….. But it’s not.

Man has moved further from God. That is not God changing, it is man’s indulgence. God is constant.

Groups spend lots of time telling us God really didn’t mean what He said. I do not think God is a liar.

Your relationship with Christ is personal. It would be my hope that you seek Him for who He is. Your salvation is more important than this argument, this board, being liberal or conservative, trans, straight, gay, lesbian, man, or woman, or a UGA fan.

Salvation and fulfillment in a relationship with Christ is the most important decision we will ever make. That truly is where it starts and ends.

That is up to you and me.

 

[jbpayne32]

Salvation and fulfillment in a relationship with Christ is the most important decision we will ever make. That truly is where it starts and ends.

That's just your opinion. It is not a fact. Hell, it took until the 16th century for Protestantism to even exist, so it's not like the opinions on Jesus and God haven't changed over time.

 

[PotimusWillie]

That's just your opinion. It is not a fact. Hell, it took until the 16th century for Protestantism to even exist, so it's not like the opinions on Jesus and God haven't changed over time.

God’s Word has never changed. Christ’s Church was followers, not a religious sect.

God’s Word isn’t opinion. The Bible speaks clearly in who God is.

As man changes, desires change. God’s Word, for some, is an inconvenient truth that we always want to fit our life.

So not my opinion. Just read the Word.

 

[Dawgfan1966]

That's just your opinion. It is not a fact. Hell, it took until the 16th century for Protestantism to even exist, so it's not like the opinions on Jesus and God haven't changed over time.

That’s like calling the law of gravity an opinion. That is simply not the case. God’s word is unwavering and true.

 

[jbpayne32]

That’s like calling the law of gravity an opinion. That is simply not the case. God’s word is unwavering and true.

Except no one has ever spoken to ‘God’ and Christianity was written by man and those words are open to endless interpretation. Thus why Christianity has constantly evolved over the past 1,700 years.

Always interesting to observe man's interpretations regarding God & Jesus....there are existing "slants" to the story, even in the Bible. Man will always come up short when trying to define, describe, interpret, etc. God's divine will & truth. Anybody saying "this is it and it only" only limits God's impact in our lives.

You ever studied the Bible or studied how the Bible was written?

Just curious. That is OK, but your assumptions are naive.

The Bible is arguably the most accurate book in ever written. What and how would be impossible to do without devine guidance.

Opinions are just that without knowledge of the process the opinion is based on. Opinions are free and I respect your right to your opinion. But your willingness to discount God’s Word that has stood the test of time is folly and rude.

Again, Christianity is a relationship, a following. It isn’t religion. There are no works to attain to achieve eternal life. That has been given to us by the Grace of God.

That’s all I got. Raiola committed today so Dawgville is happy. Gonna marinate in that a while.

Good day. We’ll have a beer one day.

 

[PotimusWillie]

so Jesus did not teach compassion ???????????????????

He taught salvation. Compassion is provided within salvation, but sin is not forgiven without repentance. Compassion is not related to tolerance. God is intolerant to sin, as Hell is the consequence.

God does not accept us as we are, what we want in earthly desires, we are called to be what He wants. Which is a pretty cool hand, knowing we live in His Grace.
