Now that I think of it, I just remembered something worse.....a kid in my class, my sophomore year of highschool, was going around telling every little kid he saw that Santa was evil, just rearrange the letters and you will see who he was telling them Santa was.....he had all these kids in tears....A teacher and I were trying to stop him and keep the kids from crying....

Many people go to church or assemblies of some kind and hear things taught by the speaker and believe them at face value, while it is understandable because many teachers and pastors are both well respected and well versed in scripture.
However a good teacher or pastor will encourage their listeners to study for themselves what they teach, (if they don't you might want to find out why) remember we are all part of the human family and no matter how much knowledge we have we are capable of error.
That said I would like to draw your attention to this: when someone presents a doctrine or concept that sounds strange or even wrong because it differs and may well be directly opposite of what you have been taught, this in itself is not sufficient reason to reject it out of hand, now please don't misunderstand, there are absolutes and some things are not to be challenged as they are well established in the sacred word, however to simply reject a thing without seeing for yourself (in scripture) where it comes from and if indeed it passes the test of scrutiny based on the great standard for all doctrine and instruction in righteousness, (2 Tim. 3:16) if it is truth it will stand scrutiny and mans opinion of it (no matter how learned that opinion may be) if it be error it will surely fall, but to reject it without seeing for yourself is both foolish and even shameful (prov. 18:13) so the next time you hear something "strange" take the time to check it out first, it can only bring a positive outcome because one of 2 things will happen: 1 what you did think was truth will be firmly established and 2 if it is error you will be free from it. Shalom....

Haven't laugh this loud in along time!! My buddy Jonathan is currently going to his uncles on the Greyhound bus, and snapping pics along the way. Jon wants to take his shoes off to relax, but is afraid that his feet will stink.
Jon:
This is all on his FB page. He then wrote that this guy just opened a can of tuna and it smells so bad:
Some guys writes the following on his facebook wall: "Take the shoes off, its all fair game now!" hahahahahaha too much
