Would you run?<br /><br />Imagine this happening to you...<br /><br /><br />One Sunday morning during service, a 2,000 member congregation was surprised to see two men enter, both covered from head to toe in black and carrying submachine guns.<br /><br />One of the men proclaimed,<br /><br />"Anyone willing to take a bullet for Christ remain where you are."<br /><br />Immediately, the choir fled...<br /><br /><br />the deacons fled...<br /><br /><br />and most of the congregation fled....<br /><br /><br />Out of the 2,000 there only remained around 20.<br /><br /><br />The man who had spoken took off his hood...<br /><br /><br />He then looked at the preacher and said "Okay Pastor, I got rid of all the hypocrites... Now you may begin your service. Have a nice<br />day!"<br /><br /><br />And the two men turned and walked out.<br /><br /><br />TOO DEEP TO NOT PASS ON... !<br /><br /><br />Funny how simple it is for people to! trash <br />God ...and then wonder why the world is in the condition it is today....<br /><br /><br />Funny how we believe what the newspapers say...but question what the Bible says...<br /><br /><br />Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven...provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says.<br /><br /><br />or is it scary?<br /><br /><br />Funny how someone can say "I believe in God"...but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes"in God).<br /><br /><br />Funny ! how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire...but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, you think twice about sharing.<br /><br /><br />Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace...but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and work place.<br /><br /><br />Funny, isn't it? Funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday...but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week.<br /><br /><br />Are you laughing?<br /><br /> OR<br /><br />Are you thinking?

As a christian, I would have stayed...frightened to feel the bullet enter my body, but happy to take a bullet for my Lord. <br />Look what He did for me!!!!!!!<br />Sorry, look what He did for us.<br /><br />Edited because I should have waited for Soulwinner to respond first. My apologies.<br />Brother Chris...

My first thought when I read this one was of all the people who kill others in the name of religion. I believe the Bible says "Thou shall not kill"<br /><br />Good post LD, thank you...........

WRONG! That is what the english translated Bible says. The original Bible (the Tora SP?) says " Thou shalt not MURDER"

Well, if you were to translate that into an actual living scenario, I'd be running. I will put my life in God's hands, but I'm not about to foolishly risk it. Wasn't there a passage about jumping off a cliff and trusting God to save you?

A guy was sliding off the roof of a three story house and couldn't stop himself. He cried out "Save me, Lord"! Just then a nail sticking up about 1/8" caught his belt and stopped him before he went over. The guy immediately cried out "Never mind, Lord. A nail caught me "!

I'm thinking... Under the "god, guns, and guts" thingy, I believe I'd be taking my gun to church, if i were the "church going" type... ;)
