slave:

While it is true that none of us should ever be ashamed of the name of Jesus - and, I can see clearly that your sentence intends to honor our Lord by virtue of "Jesus' Red" - [ the shedding of ] His Blood - being "the best, sweet news" - the Gospel -- somehow I am still a little uncomfortable with us "throwing the name of Jesus around" in a thread that is, for the most part, supposed to be a lets-be-silly-and-have-fun kind of thread.
"...and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." (Colossians 3:16-17)...

You can use whatever words you want, but I don't follow your feelings, I follow His wishes, and I am one of the funniest guys you'll meet. It's God's gift
:)....just, apparently not to you.

Jesus' Red, is the best sweet news.

I understand what you are saying; yet, I still do not think that it holds true as a 'literal' interpretation in every case.

Would it have been appropriate for preacher4truth to have posted:

"Jesus is a fruit and nut job."

?

No, of course not...

I regret that you were / are offended.

My decision stands. ( It is my thread, so... )

The verses in Colossians 3 you referred to - in the context of the passage - are talking about what-and-the-way it ought to be in our hearts and minds -- not every sentence that comes out of our mouths...

( Yes -- what is in our hearts and minds should certainly guide what comes out of our mouths. )

Shall we make fun of Jesus...??? :eek: :confused:
My name means God is my judge. And I used to be afraid of that...now I delight in it. Why? Because I never make fun of Jesus ever! For if I did I would be making fun of myself. Hey, I'll tell you what, let's let you run this thread, and I will let you...start a new "funny" that makes your emotions happy. This is one of those disputable things that Scripture talks about not being worth it. You are interrupting other peoples chance to enjoy this, so start whatever sentence you want..

I am letting slave have the last word on this "issue" ( assuming he lets it drop here-and-now ) - and consider it 'settled'.

Please continue with the thread game.

I know those last two sentences may not be considered a proper complete sentence, but do you see what I am getting at?

Let us not get stuck in the rut of replacing the same word with every word we can think of -- continually make the sentence go in a different direction -- contantly changing...

Change it up!

:)

Bolt from a nut sale.
Darlene - the current word count is 7. You need to change [ exactly ] one word, and [ optionally ] change the word order to make your sentence.
