Hey everyone,
The recent "Name that Show" thread (in which people were able to identify TV quotes) was a lot of fun
I read a great post that made the quote, "Come with me if you want to live," (Terminator) and the poster commented that it sounded like something Jesus could have said! That really made me smile.
Now of course, I'm not trying to say this is something Jesus would have said and I am NOT trying to put words into God's Word at all, but I just thought it might be fun to list some quotes (from movies, books, songs, TV, etc.) that could fit with our Christian faith.
(And for those of us who aren't as good with pop culture trivia, give us some background as to where and who your quote is from.)
Here are a few I was thinking of:
1. Of course, there is the thread title. I was thinking of the Ascension... and telling the people watching Jesus going into heaven, "Don't worry. HE'LL BE BACK!!!" (again, Terminator)
2. When something happens at work and a co-worker laments that we can't possibly finish this 60-step project in the next 30 minutes we've been given, I often smile, shake my head, and say, "I find your lack of faith disturbing." (Darth Vader) I suppose I could say this to my good-natured unbelieving friends as well.
3. Milla Jovovich is my favorite female action star (though I fear she looks too thin to be able to hold up the guns). But in her first few movies, they seemed to try to give her a catchphrase... It has since disappeared (apparently), but it reminds of Jesus healing on the Sabbath.
The Pharisees would tell him, "Jesus, you can't heal on the Sabbath!!!" And sometimes, it was as if Jesus looked around, gave His best smile, and told them, "Watch me."
How about all of you? Any favorite quotes that sound as if they could fit into a Biblical moment or story?
