When good chopper pilots go bad

nobody's perfect

Even more important is this: (Romans 3:23)

All have sinned, and fall short of the Glory of God.

That's WHY we need to trust Christ as savior. We canot gain righteousness by our own acts.

OK...

Jesus would have to have more than 1 vehicle. Isn't Sunday a day of rest? He has to have a toy....

You are attempting to put words into my mouth, and assigning me a position I just do not hold. It's amazing how vocally you decry that tactic, yet how quickly you employ it yourself.

First:

I am attempting to figure out what you are trying to say, and I thought a good way of doing so might be to construct a paragraph based on my understanding. I said perhaps and I think you meant to say in my preface. Is that really "putting words in your mouth"?


Second:

Explain what "tactic" you are talking about, and show me how I have "decried" it.

Jesus would choose appropriately, others should to.

Ah. Jesus' choice (which none of us can accurately determine) should guide our choices in motor vehicles.

Now that's an interesting take on it.

Suppose the same Jesus that we are speaking of here had advocated a larger, more robust vehicle to keep His followers safe in crash situations, improving their survivability so they go go forth and do His work? Would that be a valid choice?

Of course it would.

The question which was posed, "what would Jesus drive?" can be answered in a great many ways. He might choose a vehicle for his carpentry job, or he might choose a large SUV or a BUS because He didn't just have 12 disciples hanging around, there were other followers whose names we do not know. Somedays it might be only Him in the vehicle. A disciple that had no family or followers might have an identical vehicle to Jesus' vehicle. Would this mean, in the minds of these activists asking the aforementioned question, that Jesus would rebuke the man for driving an unecessarily large vehicle? From a scriptural standpoint, there is no reason for this assumption.

Where some of us might assume that Jesus would only choose a vehicle that would get good gas mileage or be smaller or be cheaper, we have to accept in this absurd construct that he might be just as likely to choose a large gas guzzler for the personal protection of His disciples in the event of an accident.

One could easily argue, looking at the Palm Sunday procession, that He was the only one riding. Everyone else was walking. A donkey's colt is not an SUV, but it WAS the only vehicle in the procession.

If the man could turn water to wine, it's no stretch to suppose that gas mileage is superfluous. Polloution, too.

Yes, I remember pintos. Good gravy, pintos weren't that long ago. I'm old enough to remember the car, to own the car, and to remember and own the horse.

Pinto to me is a horse. Very low poloution, reasonable mileage, keeps you warm at night, and shoes are cheaper than tires. Never needs paint (but always appreciates one as a stall mate), batteries never go dead, capable of self-replication, and unlike modern yuppie scum onstar garbage, it really does know the way home.

Made by Jesus for native Americans and folks who like decent horseflesh. Can't be beaten in this lifetime, or the next.

Never had a pinto, but I did have a wonderful roan mare.

Nothing like a good horse.

speaking of ford, looks like it may need JC's help purty soon...

"Despite the latest downgrade, Ford should have no problem selling its corporate bonds to raise money because its credit ratings remain in the investment-grade area, which the bond market considers to have a low chance of default."

I guess it isn't quite as bad as it might seem.

 

[flewa72]

I heard Jesus was a Honda guy. Something about them being all in one Accord.

Ba-dum-dum...

 

[N2264J]

it all makes perfect sense

...so jesus is a "Ford truck man" then...

The F series pickups have been and still are the most
popular vehicles sold in this country for years. I have a 1986
F-150 myself.

It's good to know that I share the same taste in utility
vehicles with the Lord.
