Corpus Christi = The Body of Christ
When I was there in the early 70’s there was talk of building a huge statue of Jesus. At the time down town had a few strip clubs. A letter to the editor suggested the statue we looking out to see with it’s back turned to downtown. I don’t think it was ever built.
This type of marketing attracts mostly Democrats. People they've never seen before will show up once, take anything not nailed down, from light bulbs to all the bathroom toilet paper, scratch their name into the furniture, then never be seen from again.
Wasn't Christ's message more along the lines of "come to Me and you will find that your "need" for a new car or a big screen will pass from you??"
No, it's more like "You are dead in your sins..." (i.e., you are already judged and you will die, period). "Come to me and have eternal life and forgiveness of sins, because I am the Messiah of Israel, and I come from God the Father in Heaven and have always been with Him."
So, no..., the message is that people are already judged and they are dead in their sins, and will be eternally separated from God and all that is good.
Come to the Messiah of Israel and accept His sacrifice for you personally, on your behalf, and you will have eternal life and not eternal separation from God in the lake of fire.
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
I’m sure this is the way Jesus would want it. He would be particularly happy that the cars being given away are high-end BMWs and Jags.
Brand new cars are their modern equivalent of 5 loaves and two fishes :)
I guess eternal life doesn't count for too much any more... LOL ...
When I was “lost” this would have told me that God and Santa Claus are one and the same. Go to the Lord and get stuff.
I'm sure they have removed the PRICES from the PRIZES.
You are absolutely correct. And I hope you will ask Christ into your life.
You will find complete forgiveness, eternal salvation, and the closest, truest, most loving friend you can imagine. :-)
I know I did.
Golly Gee, why didn’t Jesus think of this? A new Jaguar would have soothed Herod’s bloodlust.
I guess I don’t understand why the Gospel is not enough. This really bothers me. He is Risen is all the good “things” that needs to be given away.
Exactly.
We have one similar to this in Phoenix.
” The Cool Church “
Same scam
Same rock & roll
Same lack of biblical exegesis.
LOL. That was funny.
I actually know of a church that has a ATM machine outside and gets a percentage off of it.
