I don't really know what I think about this other than it is very jesus crispy. Because even if it was purely good intentioned you just have to read through the comments at the photographer's flickr stream to discover that pure wasn't on the minds of those writing the comments.
Thanks again to my fabulous friend for the tip. I'm a little scared that you find more of the good stuff. photo credit: sepultura flickr
Your kind of religion is perversion. The way of the "law" is done and finished. Quite frankly, the example of Christ seems to be ignored again and again and again.
Jesus, met with the maginalised, the sick, the unholy, the prostitutes, the theif, the tax collector, the publican ... the people. He chastised the priests, with venom.
If Jesus is the Son Of God, then all that was before and all that came after him is irrelevant if you do not follow in the footsteps of the Christ. The words of man will not outway the life of Jesus. Leviticus is not greater than Jesus, Deuteronomy is not greater than Jesus, any of the writings of Paul are not greater than Jesus.
Jesus walked in mercy. Those who follow him should also walk in mercy. God is judge, not man.

These guys have been around forever, but I don't think they have had enough RECOGNITION to date. I really love the part about adultresses ... where are their lovers? One would think that it does take two.
I have nothing to say but, hey guys read the words of your Christ. Put down your stones people. Matthew 7:1,2 (New International Version)
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
I am a born again, spirit filled, word believing, faith talking, armour wearing child of the king. Satan gets so discouraged when he see the word of god working in me. You don't have to be defeated, or wait for heaven to get the victory. I am a born again spirit filled, word believing, faith talking, armour wearing child of the king.
I don't know how the rest of that song goes, but it scares me that at 30 years of age, I still remember this much. I believe that there is "bring up the child in the way he should go" ... and then there is brainwashing.
Please watch this trailer. Please realise that an introduction to God should be a personal discovery, not a guilt ridden weight of responsibility for mankind. I have been that child. I have carried the weight.
Shame on you adults for putting these expectations on your children ... I hope to God you are not looking at your next generation of drug addicts and prostitutes. Why, because not even YOU can live up to the requirements you place on your children. Any when they discover your hypocrisy, you will feel the consequences. If God is God, he doesn't need an army camp to brainwash children into militant servitude. Jesus came with a message of how to live. That there is no 'us and them'. I don't care how you cut it up it is wrong. It will leave scars. Human beings do so much wrong "in the name of God". Children grow up eventually. They will hold you accountable.

Preacher's Kid ... I'm not bitter!
When I was nineteen I was living across the street from the church I was attending. I was watching the elderly congregation file in for the morning service. I was struck with the realisation that there were generations of people already here before Christ, doing the right thing by God. The sick feeling of being part of another generation of pharasies more concerned with outward holiness than heart and humanity awakened me.
Mine is a prodigal story. Returning to faith, knowing I needed God ... does not mean wearing church culture.
Before giving me your doctrine - read the gospels.
As said by Mahatma Gandhi “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
