Jesus rejected from Jesus again by the Marines

I submit that these dolls should not be made, much less given away to children for christMASS.

"Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female," - Deuteronomy 4:16​

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." - Exodus 20:4​

"Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device." - Acts 17:29​

 

Something as clever as giving away dolls with a message compared to the stuff so many undulge in. No wonder they used to say if Jesus returned now the fundamentalists would be first in line to crucify Him again.

God help us!

Cheers,

Jim

 

The Marines are in a position where, as part of the federal government, they could really not distribute the dolls regardless of what their feelings or intent may have been.

The aclu would have been screaming bloody murder and the Marines would get their hand slapped pretty hard. It might even cause the end of this worthy charity because it revolves around CHRISTmas.

 

I submit that...ah, never mind. I didn't know I was in the Jehovah Witness section.

 

I made a simple statement and backed it up with scripture. What is the scripture that you and Tiny would use to corroborate your contention that we should represent Jesus Christ via art or should we ignore scripture if we're being "clever"? If you have a verse for that, what's the verse that would demonstrate that Jesus Christ had long hair, as I thought that nature itself taught that it is a shame for a man to have long hair? Let's say the preceding is alright, is there a verse that says we should create a graven image that will give children the opportunity to push the button of Jesus? Where is the fear of God in this?

Won't it be fun for the little tikes when they can have Buzz Lightyear and Jesus Christ face off or have Spiderman spin a web on him or have Cartman tell Jesus to respect his authoritah? Won't it be swell to put Jesus under a heathen Christmass tree and then the little child being so excited because he got a Jesus for Christmass? If you want to tell needy kids about Jesus, preach it. If you want to give them Jesus, give them a Holy Bible so they can have the true Word of God, not some cheap piece of plastic.

The company that makes merchandise of Jesus in this instance, is owned by a Catholic and a Jew creating a doll for a character that they are either opposed to or understand very little about. Christians taking a stand for a Jew who can't give away his Jesus merchandise because Jews or Muslims might be offended? What a mess.

I don't think I've ever encountered a group of Christians as vitriolic and as opposed to scripture as many of the folks on this board and I'm doing my best not to respond to all of the personal attacks. However, if you disagree with me, wouldn't a Christian response be to say I disagree and here is the scripture that I would use to back up my beliefs? Perhaps then, I might learn from you. Otherwise your statements and opinions that are not founded in scripture and typically addressed towards the messenger rather than the message are just as empty and meaningless as an unbeliever's statements.

Rather than make an argument, you pose the suggestion that fundamentalists would crucify Christ if he returned, apparently because they take His Word seriously? These words are without foundation and are quite foolish.

 

I'm with you on this one Tim, but sadly, Christmas is more about the presents and the time off from work rather than Jesus' birthday.

It's sad but true, but we as Christians still have alot of work to do. Souls to convert, people to win over to Christ.

The Toys for Tots program, while good, isn't about the Christmas we know as Christians, it's about the Presents and Time off from work holiday the others have come to love. :tear:

Sad...

I can understand the logic behind the decision.

I'm not sold on the idea of a Jesus doll anyway.

 

My anual message... The reason for the season. Peace on earth and good will toward man.

Now I vote we should take up a collection and donate all the Jesus dolls we can afford.

 

Personally, I really don't like the idea of a "Jesus doll", but I don't see why they couldn't just accept the dolls and then if someone wanted to give one to their child they could do so. They wouldn't be forced to do so.

 

It looks like they will accept the Jesus Doll...

Now, the question, how many people will accept Jesus Christ? Let's pray that this doll will reach many and will help convert many to Christ.

God says His Word will not come back void.

 

Hey! this is a good idea!!!!

I think TinyTim has given me my big break in business!
I am going to have:
Adam dolls
Seth dolls
Noah dolls
Abraham dolls
Lot dolls
Isaac dolls
Jacob dolls
Joseph dolls
Moses dolls
Aaron dolls
Gideon dolls
Daniel dolls
David dolls
Solomon dolls
Jeremiah dolls
Isaiah dolls
Ezekiel dolls
Elisha dolls
Elijah dolls
Amos dolls
Micah dolls...
I will have an action figure doll for EVERY Old Testament character in the Bible!

I will introduce a different one each year. This will last me quite a while and should be very lucrative. I will patent the enitre list of Bible characters so that when I run out of OT characters, I will move into the NT. And right along with them I can have all the women of the Bible also!!!!

What a concept! I will be set for life!!!

Thanks a lot Tim!!! What a guy!!!

Now THIS is what I call Christian brothers helping out their fellow Brother in Christ.

 

That oughta get a few people fired up!!

Regards to you, Jim - haven't heard from you in a while. I trust that all is well up there,
