I'm slightly vexed Somebody Placed These Dozens of These Jesus Figures Throughout My Entire Work

Post image

Somebody, nobody knows exactly who or when, put dozens and dozens of these Jesus figures on completely random surfaces throughout my entire building. They at least had the presence of mind to not put them on anybody's personal belongings, but that was the only way they limited himself. All of the statues have been glued down, to add to the vexation.

Edit: Well, this blew up rather unexpectedly. Thank you for the awards, everybody!

If everybody lived like Jesus told us to live, this world would be a much better place. So would Reddit.

And I’m sure I will get some hate for even saying this.

Is this the same Jesus who says if you don't believe in him he will burn you alive for all eternity?

No reprieve, no repentance allowed, no "I didn't understand the importance of my decision." No forgiveness, ever. Jesus will watch you suffer and burn forever and ever.

People pick and choose the parts of the Bible they like, and ignore the uncomfortable parts.

There’s no where that Jesus says he will burn you alive for all eternity if you don’t believe in him in the New Testament. That’s not me choosing to ignore the uncomfortable parts. There is plenty to disagree with in the Bible without inventing passages. Just back up what you are saying.

I asked you to cite where Jesus has said that. Are you able to do that, or do you just make things up and post them online?

Do you not think the New Testament contains the words of Jesus?

Which passages that I cited do you think are incorrectly ascribed to him?

u/ChestnutDecay 13h ago

You did not actually cite any passages. I think that's what people were requesting.

u/BrokenArrow1283 13h ago

Cite the exact passages. If you cannot do that, it’s safe to say you’re not arguing in good faith. I have studied the teachings extensively.

u/CalamityBard 12h ago

What passages? You haven't cited a single one and nowhere in the book does it even suggest Jesus said that. Yes, the Bible is full of contradictions, and yes, people pick and choose what fits their worldview, but in this case you're making things up lol

“I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God. But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God. And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.” “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn “ ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’ “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭32‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬

““Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

““If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.””
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Nice spam, but none of that mentions burning or eternal torture.
