One of my Brothers has a ministry to help people in struggling marriages, to attempt at all costs to avoid divorce (a disaster for everyone).

I also take issue with mentioning the widowed. We had no choice in the matter, and being lumped in with divorced, etc., in my mind, confuses the issue.

Volunteer and Tide Fans….. that’s probably the worst news that could be posted out here. Go Gators (since my Clemson Tigers are only so-so this year)

Be scared. VERY SCARED. The VOLUNTEERS are on their way. National Championship in the next 4 years. Saban has no QB this year, and will have no defense next year. No moral victories for us anymore. We will get you in Knoxville next year Kevin. Otherwise, you are an alright brother in the Lord.

I understand. I think most people hear about something, then respond without actually watching it themselves. I’ve done that many times

Actually no I’ve only watched Seinfield once. It was all about sex so we never watched again. Just personal convictions.

Thanks for the perspective. I thought it was interesting when the Muslims even thought this was offensive. O well, maybe it isn’t as bad as it sounds. I just don’t understand why someone wouldn’t think this is offensive.

Actually Kevin, he doesn’t urinate on the painting of Jesus. He is urinating, and a small amount splashes onto the painting, which for some reason is hanging next to the toilet. I read an artical criticizing the episode before watching it. When I watched it, it occurred to me that too much is being made of this. It really is no big deal.
Given the many times you have posted here about people finding Jesus in toast, or on tree trunks, etc., you might actually find this episode humorous. After the incident occurs, the lady of the house goes into the restroom, sees what she thinks is a tear in Jesus’ eye, and decides to sell everything, quit her job, buy an RV, and travel the country, telling people about her miracle. Of course, Larry David says nothing to her about the real source of the tear. Later on, she discovers all of this.
Not a big deal.
I understand you not wanting to have HBO in your home. But did you ever watch Seinfeld?
Just thought I would bring a little different perspective into it.

Comment on Did Jesus take the wheel? by Bob Cleveland

Looks remarkably like the “Sallman Head” that’s been around for years. Sort of Anglicized.

The best Bible teacher I ever heard said that, since the Bible says Jesus ‘made Himself of no reputation…” … that He’d be nothing special in appearance that would make Him stand out, that He was likely a typical Jewish-appearing man, of swarthy skin. If He’d been as we most often see Him portrayed, He’d have stood out, in appearance, rather dramatically at the time. And the Bible said He didn’t do that.
