Need your help...preaching tomorrow morning...

[melnjones]

Ok, can you guys help me list some of the really judgemental or otherwise crappy sayings that you see or hear from Christians? For example, "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." It's late, my brain is getting tired, and I want to talk about some of these in my sermon.

1. Idle hands are the Devil's workshop. n/t

[CarlVK]

2. It's not the ages of rocks, but the rock of ages I care about!

From the film "Inherit the Wind" about the Scopes Monkey Trial.

[question everything]

3. God will not load on you more than you can bear? (nt)

[JanusAscending]

4. The devastating flooding of NOLA was....

Likened unto God's destruction of Sodom and Gommorah. SIN CITY ! but mothers and babies had to die along with the druggies and hookers and winos!! This is the biggest lie of all!!! God is bigger than this.

[zalinda]

5. THIS one always gets to me

It doesn't matter what good works you do, if you don't accept Jesus into your heart, you can't go to heaven. I guess Gandhi went to hell, then.

6. This isn't derogatory, but I've always found some pretty good stuff in

the Book. One of my favorites is:

"Even a fool will seem wise, if he keeps his mouth closed".

I try to avoid the derogatory stuff, I prefer to see the goodness that can come from all religions and all people....:)

7. Using the term "I will pray for you" as a bludgeon. ...

....when they really don't mean it.

[yewberry]

8. "God doesn't make mistakes"

Our GLBTQ friends can't have been born that way, because "God doesn't make mistakes."

That one really makes my blood boil.

9. The Lord helps those who help themselves...

and...

God is on our side.

[silverlib]

10. Love the sinner - hate the sin n/t

[sandnsea]

11. God wouldn't let that happen to me n/t
