Most people assume WWJD is for "What would Jesus do?". But the initials really stand for "What would Jesus drive?"

One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth because "the Bible says God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury."

But in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo. The passage urges the Lord to "pursue your enemies with your Tempest and terrify them with your Storm."

Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses' followers are warned not to go up a mountain "until the Ram's horn sounds a long blast."

Some scholars insist that Jesus drove a Honda but didn't like to talk about it. As proof, they cite a verse in St. John's gospel where Christ tells the crowd, "For I did not speak of my own Accord..."

Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as evidenced by a Bible passage declaring that "the roar of Moses' Triumph is heard in the hills."

Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its muffler: "Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land. And, following the Master's lead, the Apostles car pooled in a Honda... "The Apostles were in one Accord."

I think He would walk, ride a bike, take the bus, the subway, or catch a ride with friends. I don't think he would own a car.

Donations are to go to the church and it's well being. New carpet, repairs, cleaning, new bibles, and things of that nature. It isn't used for personal gain and if it is then they are in the wrong and will have to answere up to God when the time comes.




New carpet?

Repairs?

Cleaning?

Is that what Jesus said to do with the money?



THE LORD JESUS REBUKE THE PASTOR OF YOUR CHURCH!




Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Matthew 19:21


Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Mark 10:21



Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
Luke 18:22



And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
Galatians 2:9-10

What would Jesus drive?






Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ***, and a colt the foal of an ***.

So anyway, I work in insurance servicing for home and auto.

Yesterday I got a call from an agent to add a vehicle to a policy.

Upon questioning for information about the vehicle he made reference to several "special equipment" options the car had. A $2200.00 Audio system, a set of $1300.00 rims , and a $695.00 paint job. Yes we cover exotic paint jobs. It turned out that we did not have to list them as special equipment because he had them factory installed....uh, that's about as high a price you can pay is from the factory on bells and whistles. Total bill? $48,000 on the sticker.

Fine I thought then I noticed the policy holder's occupation:

Preacher

Yo preach! So you take money from your wilting flock. Some of the people that gave you money were probably poor, unemployed, or elderly..and maybe some of your flock have no health care and are suffering? But at least you're riding in style now huh? God bought you a shiny new car! GFY!

Oh I’d love to but I can't use the info to look into him....that'd be against my ethics, but I hope he drives his shiny new car up to church and his flock finally wake up. Yeah I know…they never change do they?

What would Jesus drive?







Pat Robertson tells how he needs money and he is worth 400 million.. pretty good paying Job for a Profitlaugh

No, I'm talking about George W. Bush, who claimed God spoke to him and who created an official office in the Executive Branch for faith-based initiatives. To my knowledge, no other president had such agency.

-Kerry O.


Just to clarify, President Bush never claimed that. A terrorist supporter claimed that following a closed door meeting. Everyone else at the meeting denied that President Bush made that claim.

Hey, just a question...Is it ethical to talk about your client's personal information? I know that I would lose my job if I did that. If you aren't sure if it's ethical or not, ask yourself this question: "How would I feel if someone did the same thing to me?"

Um, how would a terrorist supporter have gotten into a "Closed Door Meeting" in the first place? Or are you taking liberties with the phrase 'terrorist supporter' to mean anyone who doesn't support George Bush or the Religious Right agenda for America? BTW, does this 'terrorist supporter' have a name?

From Stephen Mansfield’s unauthorized 2004 campaign hagiography, The Faith of George W. Bush. In it, Mansfield sets out an account of events following upon that phone call, based on an apparently recent interview with Robison:



On the day that the evangelist entered Bush’s office, he was surprised to find political strategist Karl Rove there as well, and even more surprised at what Bush was about to say. “My life is changed,” the governor said. “I had a drinking problem. I won’t say I was an alcoholic, but it affected my relationships, even with my kids. It could have destroyed me. But I’ve given my life to Christ.”

Robison, who had heard rumors of Bush’s conversion, was struck by the sincerity he sensed. He was not prepared, though, for what came next. “I feel like God wants me to run for president,” Bush said. “I can’t explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen, and, at that time, my country is going to need me. I know it won’t be easy, on me or my family, but God wants me to do it.”

“In fact,” Bush continued, “I really don’t want to run. My father was president. My whole family has been affected by it. I know the price. I know what it will mean. I would be perfectly happy to have people point at me someday when I’m buying my fishing lures at Wal-Mart and say, ‘That was our governor.’ That’s all I want. And if I run for president, that kind of life will be over. My life will never be the same. But I feel God wants me to do this, and I must do it.”




-Kerry O.

How did he get there? He was invited, he was in a position of power in Palestine. His name is Nabil Shaath and he is a member of Fatah.

Isn't that interesting? One wonders what would be said if Obama did the same thing...

Conservatives would speak out against that meeting, just as they did when it was President Bush, but this time around they would be called racists.

"did the same thing to me"? No, I am not the hyocrite using people's money like preachers do so why would anyone "do the same thing to me"? I in no way gave any information that would lead to my customer's personal information...

What? Dude!laugh

Don't confuse them...they are already defending this guy...trying to do so by questioning the messengers ethics. I find it funny anyone would defend this low life.

How about this low life? (NOT because she once did porn...but because now she gets on TV and steals people's money). Anyone seen this woman and heard her rap? Incredible...
