Jesus used illustrations to drive a point home and to teach others. For those that don't see a problem with what Tony did, I'm hoping this helps. This will be sort of like the Family Fued game.
We surveyed 100 people in the world. A man is wearing tailor fit dress pants. He approaches you and attempts to share an encouraging thought from the Bible. What do you think about that?
- I am listening, you are in shape and care about that body God gave you, more power to you! - 57
- No thanks, I'm not interested in any religion - 43
- You CAN'T be a follower of Christ, you are wearing tailor fit dress pants! - 0
We surveyed 100 people in the world. A woman is wearing spandex while out for a jog and is in her cool down stage. She approaches you and attempts to share an encouraging thought from the Bible. What do you think about that?
- I am listening. You are a woman of God since you respect your body and take care of it, you go girl! - 64
- No thanks, I'm not interested in any religion - 36
- You CAN'T be a follower of Christ, you are wearing spandex! - 0
We surveyed 100 people in the world. An older gentleman approaches the checkout of a liquor store. He unloads a dozen bottles of expensive booze onto the conveyor belt. As the cash machine says $957.13, he makes eye contact with you and then attempts to share an encouraging thought from the Bible. What do you think about that?
- Holy shit, this is a super expensive habit for this drunk! - 53
- Oh my god, this old fart is going to get so shit faced this entire month! - 47
- You MIGHT possibly be a follower of Christ - 0
Does this drive home the point how super obsessed Tony is about public image? Does he realize what he did is 1000 times worse than the first 2 examples that he has told us all are absolutely disgusting and not becoming of a Christian? No sins have been committed in all 3 examples, but who has brought the most reproach on Jehovah and his Organization in the 3 examples?
