I prefer to just exist.
Worse, he would not have sent missionaries.
Jesus was either a madman or the Son of God. Jesus himself left us no other alternatives.
I can’t coexist, especially with pizza.
There are only two problems with the “COEXIST” bumper sticker. They should use the Arabic word for ‘coexist’, and they should use Arabic characters. Otherwise I am fine with it.
Christianity is the only moral system conceived which treats people with respect. Every other system, especially Islam and atheism, encourages people to either kill each other or lay about and accomplish nothing.
The words, “You shall have no other gods before Me” explicitly invite coexistence, but on exceedingly strict terms that are not coequal insofar as He is the Creator and we are the created.
I freakin’ hate that bumper sticker.
Of course He didn’t (or wouldn’t today) because otherwise He never would have come. If there were no Messiah, that would mean that God would be unjust nor good (and He certainly is good and not unjust). If Jesus weren’t who He claimed He was then the very universe would be upended and there would just be death.
Jesus had to die, and did resurrect of His own power, as such He is The Way (The Only Way)!!
The “rusty” irony of the “Coexist” crowd is it’s a purely western idea... the rest of the world doesn’t think that way (they seek to conquer, NOT coexist). Funny those that say they’re tolerant and open-minded and oppose “western” hegemony reflect it with their “Coexist” bumper stickers. Go figure?
Yes, and the decision of who He is is unavoidable.
Living in LA affords countless daily viewings of one of the ten most obnoxious bumper stickers: “COEXIST”. Anyone finding it necessary to display this sermonette for public perusal completely misunderstands our Great Nation. Then, some of these control freaking idiots add a “tolerance” banner to further enforce the proof of their ignorance.
ABSOLUTE AMEN!!! (from the choir loft)
I printed up a bumper sticker that says:
“How do you coexist with people that are trying to kill you?”
Love your poster. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some of those handy?
I ask my commie coworkers a similar question when discussing Israel’s difficulties with its “neighbors.” All I get is a blank stare followed by a change of subject
One day I will have a bumper sticker or better yet a window decal made up that says “My God Is Better Than Your God”. Maybe I’ll have it done up in the same format as those memoriam decals people put on their car windows so they can remember loved ones who have passed away.
First time I’ve seen that “explanation” — most excellent!
