I just wanted to share something I posted on my personal Facebook with you all today..
"Wow... Just watched a video poking fun about how people say 'Jesus, take me instead' at funerals. Then in the video, a man dressed up like Jesus walks in and -in my opinion- almost perverts certain things Jesus said in the scriptures..
Personally, this video made me feel very uncomfortable, the way it was portraying Jesus... I don't know exactly what it was that seemed so perverted about it, but I felt the discernment of God telling me it was wrong the whole time I watched it.. I went and read the comments to see if I was the only one feeling that way... And ofcourse I wasn't, because there were other Christians that felt that same discernment. However, the MAJORITY of 'Christians' didn't see any problem with it! They were defending the video, saying it was just a funny video, and that it wasn't anything personal! Several people commented with 'I serve Jesus Christ and I still think this is hilarious! Stop being so sensitive!' However, one comment stood out among others... And it pierced my heart like never before... It read, 'R u christians happy with that? I really don't get how you think this is funny.... In Islam we don't insult our God like that even if it was a joke.....'
Have we lost that much sensitivity to our faith that we could be compared to Islam?! How sad! And yet, we cannot disagree.. Have you ever seen a Muslim poke fun at Islam or their 'Allah'?? Or have you ever heard of Muslims picking and choosing what they want to believe out of the Quran? I haven't...
We are christians!!! And we serve THE ONE TRUE LIVING GOD, JESUS CHRIST! How much MORE should we strive to respect and serve our Father?
Romans 12:2 says, 'And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.' We have to stop accepting what this world has to offer, and start standing up for what is right. #FIGHTFORWHATSRIGHT"
