Christians Only

[pekoe]

A Jew goes into a church and sits in the pew. The minister, ready to start service says, "We are having a special service this morning for Christians only. Will all non-Christians please leave the building." The Jew gets up, walks over to the altar, takes the crucifix off the wall and says, "C'mom Jesus....looks like we're not wanted here today."

Not much of a joke. Sounds more like a cut at how many christians are anti-jewish (which is sad, not funny).

Things to think about....especially when interpreting the Bible.

 

[Brad Huber]

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

They dont sound all that wise to me.

But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Well, some of them do.

God the Father couldn't pastor a Baptist church... Tiz true..

He divorced Israel (and took her back)

There are many "churches" that would freak out if someone showed up for services lookin' like Jesus and trashing their "money tables"...

I did not care for the "joke" but I get the jest. Jesus was a Jew and we were not called "Christians" during His earthly ministry. etc.

I think the "joke" is in poor taste especially now considering that a whitehouse senior adviser has cursed the Leader of Israel by calling him a "chicken ----" (rhymes with spit)...

Anything that remotely could be considered disrespectful to the Jews or the Church is NOT FUNNY.

Yes, the messengers of God throughout Isreals history up to and including Jesus and His disciples all had good and true things to share. But the teachers of the laws were the ones usually on the side of those stoning the prophets/messengers. I always appreciate the ideas the jews have concerning God, quite often very enlightening, and yet I always keep in mind how wrong the jewish teachers of the law were in not accepting anything that took religious power from themselves. What is best in my own mind, is simply sharing thoughts and ideas from anyone (jewish, catholic, orthodox, and prostestants), listening and speaking with God in prayer about the validity or truth of the ideas. We were given in Christ, the great comforter who would lead us into the right path. Instead of having faith in any person or race, or gender, etc, its best to listen to them all and filter what is said through the Holy Spirit. And be no respecter of persons, that we would trust any man over the Holy Spirit.

Jews have a wry sense humor!

1) A young woman confessed to her priest that she was guilty of the sin of pride: “I look in the mirror and think of myself as beautiful.” The priest said, "That's not a sin, that's a mistake."
2) Q: How can you tell if someone is half-Catholic and half-Jewish? A: He never misses confession but always takes his lawyer.
3) Christian Doctor: “Your recovery was a miracle!” Christian Patient: “Thank God! Now I don't have to pay you.”
