re: Jesus Gets Us commercial was mocking Jesus

quote:

---

Humility. Washing the feet was a sign of humility. Christ was humble, he saw the sinner as well as the righteous as worthy of respect . It was because he came from humble origin, Nazareth was as humble a place as there could be.

But you are bitching about the add and suggesting that the people at He Gets Us are about giving absolution to unrepentant sinners.....I 'm not seeing that at all. The message is that Jesus is humble enough to show you respect....and he was. Jesus washed the feet of his apostles who were flawed men . Are you suggesting that the Hobby Lobby guys are new age Christian? They are not. Serious Christians, they are though.

Stop telling people they have to come to Christ. Christ would go to people to offer the gift. The gift is available to all

---

If those who are Christian do not spread the Gospel, we are held responsible for that. It is Christ’s command that we spread the word. Besides, how can someone say they believe the message of the Gospel, have Christ in their heart, say they also love their neighbor, and then refuse to tell people they have to come to Christ to avoid the consequences of not having the free gift of salvation? And it’s not just about salvation, but about a fulfilled life, avoiding the consequences of sin in their life as well.

quote:

---

If you truly care about growing His kingdom on Earth, then you will acknowledge the lowliest of sinners with respect and empathy like Christ did for the sinner on the cross.

---

WHAT do you mean?

Jesus Kingdom is NOT of this Earth. (John 18:36)

Christians have been the largest donors of material goods, time, and help to the needy all over the world.

quote:

---

Your theological/ideological grandstanding is disgusting and represents everything wrong with the modern church.

---

Huh??

"Christianity" is plagued by false teachers these days.

However many are teaching exactly what Jesus Christ told His flock to do: Preach & Teach the Gospel and Word of Jesus Christ.

What specific sects do you see that represent "theological/ideological grandstanding" that are "disgusting"?

Yeah don't come around with that whole respect and empathy thing with all these good God fearing types. Besides most of them don't want to live with the consequence of sin either.

In simple terms, these commercials are about blatant virtue-signaling, deception, and recruitment.

The Pope has also made an acceptable public spectacle / mockery of washing the feet of prisoners / strangers / leaders (AND KISSING FEET as well) for ridiculous photo-op propaganda, subversive reasons. SEVERAL TIMES.





So what else is this so-called "Christian" foot-washing PR nonsense really about?

-- MOCKERY & RIDICULE and warping the meaning of Scripture of (The "Pope" is about anything BUT the doctrine of "Christianity or Christ")...

-- A supposed "GOTCHA!" of "hypocritical Christians" who don't wash & kiss the filthy feet of random strangers for no reason whatsoever in order to "prove" they are "Christ-like".

-- Another blatant subversive message for this commercial example of foot-washing: IT IS A "WHITE-CHRISTIAN obligation" (and reparations of sorts) to be subservient to EVERYONE ELSE.

The outfit who's running this sneaky subversive advertising campaign is NOT about the Gospel and Heaven/Hell destinations, but of recruitment & conversion to a "more accepting, tolerant" versions of "Christianity" -- aka SJW-churches (like Episcopal, RCC, etal that make the Gospel message and any Scripture that SJWs find "offensive" OPTIONAL.

Thanks for finally admitting to everyone that you make stupid comments without fully informing yourself of the subject at hand

---

I've seen enough to know that this is just a bunch of whining

Too many people twist Jesus' message with their own politics. The Gospels as well as the Epistles make Christianity a lot more different than how many represent. It's both conservative and incredibly radical at the same time. I think if you want to change the sinner, go to where the sinners are then look at yourself as well. So many focus on the speck in the other guy's eye and we ignore the plank your own

Plus I n this case people are complaining, twisting scripture to protect themselves over a commercial that essentially says that if you want to change people's hearts and minds, stop being a jerk and demonstrate some kindness . Christianity is so much more than your political inclinations.

And at the same, comments like those oversimplify the situation in both directions as well. And you've only written out some vague statements that don't really point to what you think Christians should do.


It's ok for Christians to accept, pray for, and work with someone like a trans activist. Have humility and compassion. And try to be kind to them...they should...

It's another thing to let that trans activist spread their thoughts, lies, and inconsistencies of reality to children. It's ok for Christians to be militantly against that and to protect God's children. That is in line with what Jesus would do, especially when the other side is so subversive and aggressive with their beliefs.

You can do both things. But that is a complicated line for ANYONE to walk. And you can't denigrate Christians for not being able to walk through life perfectly protecting their beliefs, being kind and humble and reacting to an overtly anti-Christian world that will not let up.

But that's also sort of the point.

You are right. But what side of this supposed debate is more apt to make your chicken nugget and coffee purchases Political?

It's hard to NOT be political when almost every facet of life has been yanked into the political.

quote:

---

THAT is indeed what is truly pharisaical, the doing of works to gain self righteousness instead of looking to Christ for our righteousness, and forgiveness.

---

I see the point is that Christ is here for you, seek him out. It does not matter what you have done, the blood of Christ was shed for the forgiveness of sin.

so are we confusing Jesus and God here....

ummmmmmmmmmmmm

John 10:30 - I and my Father are one.

John 14:7 & 9 - If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

Are you suggesting Jesus was confused? Cuz dems his words, not mine
