Poll: If Jesus were on earth today in bodily form, would he frequent bars and pubs to befriend "sinners"? A Daily Poll

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Probably would but to preach the gospel not to get drunk and whatnot.

[Patrick1]

Not to befriend but to save.

[DieHard the Hunter]

Interesting poll: 50% No, 25% Yes 25% I Don’t Know.

I voted “I don’t know” because I don’t know what Our Lord would do if He were here today. He certainly surprised the Pharisees of His day, and their expectations of Him were way off.

[The_Reader_David]

If Jesus were engaged in His earthly ministry today, He would not frequent bars and pubs to befriend “sinners”. He would frequent bars and pubs to befriend sinners (and call them to repentance).

Poll This:

Do You Hate Stupid Polls?

YES 98%
NO, (some of my best friends are Poles) 2%

One of the biggest complaints by the religious leaders of His time was that he ate and drank and spent time with sinners.

[Lorianne]

Why is the premise that bars and clubs are where sinners hang out?

[Krodg]

I think He would hold council outside and engage anyone that came near. He went to visit sinners when invited, He didn’t ‘hang out’ with them.

[tenger]

Having a bad day, Navy? Hope it gets better for all of our sake.

[bornred]

If the answer is “yes,” does that mean he’d spend most of his time at gay bars (and/or highway rest stops)?

[tenger]

Hint: it’s where the “church people” ain’t. In fact, in religious society it’s highly frowned upon to go into bars. I’m sure there are worse places, but they weren’t at the top of my head when creating the poll.

[ak267]

Why not? He hanged out with tax collectors and hookers.

[Semper Mark]

Amen, guitarpicker.

That was the ONLY claim that had against our LORD.

But then, who else was there to dine with?

[tenger]

Absolutely true. Actually the emphasis of the poll (in my mind) was bar and pubs. Wrapping our minds around the concept.

[tenger]

you tell me.

[microgood]

Since we all sinners, He will run into them everywhere he goes.

[lonestar]

I'm a sinner. I don't go to bars and rarely drink but there's more to sinning than drinking and going to bars.

If I owned a bar I'd call it "Glass House."

[PittsburghAfterDark]

“Why is the premise that bars and clubs are where sinners hang out?”

Ever see a Girls Gone Wild infomercial?

[the invisib1e hand]

would he have a beer with obama?
