Need your help...preaching tomorrow morning... |
|
Ok, can you guys help me list some of the really judgemental or otherwise crappy sayings that you see or hear from Christians? For example, "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." It's late, my brain is getting tired, and I want to talk about some of these in my sermon.

5. THIS one always gets to me |
|
It doesn't matter what good works you do, if you don't accept Jesus into your heart, you can't go to heaven. I guess Gandhi went to hell, then.

6. This isn't derogatory, but I've always found some pretty good stuff in |

the Book. One of my favorites is:
"Even a fool will seem wise, if he keeps his mouth closed".
I try to avoid the derogatory stuff, I prefer to see the goodness that can come from all religions and all people....:)

8. "God doesn't make mistakes" |

Our GLBTQ friends can't have been born that way, because "God doesn't make mistakes."
That one really makes my blood boil.
