LovingTeacher: AverageAmericanGuy: The problem is that Jesus cures cancer of the soul.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

There is none righteous, no, not one

This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Jesus doesn't cure leukemia. He cures the cancer of eternal damnation.

Kinda sounds like you are blaming cancer patients for being sinners and that's why they got the cancer.

I realize that the "wages of sin" refer to original sin but that has always seemed like a dick move on god's part to me. The original people screwed up so I'll just punish everyone ever born from now on.

/The wages of sin are a bad reputation and too many friends



As I recall:

"The wages of sin is death and so is the salary of virtue. At least the sinners get to go home early on Friday".

--Nanny Ogg--

Cheers.

In a medical study, some people who got the placebo will coincidentally be cured. That doesn't mean placebos can be advertised as a cure.

Maybe I should start; at the moment, I'm unemployed and therefore not earning any wages. Hey Farkettes, EIP. I need something to sin to.

Nem Wan: Not sure how this would get ruled on in the U.S. Saying "Jesus heals cancer" is clearly in First Amendment territory but advertising that a church heals cancer is not. A claim about what Jesus does is not testable but a claim that church membership results in cancer being cured is.

Well, that would depend on if the church is advertising that they are the gateway to Jesus; i.e., you must attend their particular church to gain access to Jesus.

It's like Pfizer doesn't cure impotence, Viagra does. But you can only get Viagra by going through Pfizer.

Pfizer can also turn water into wine, but they do require grapes and yeast for that trick.

Jesus, not having seen one before, I was interested enough to Google it. To help out any others in the thread that might have been curious, I posted it. Wasn't trying to rain on anyone's day.

For the record, after having seen it, I'm with andersoncouncil42, I wish people would stop putting them up.

Not to mention an immaculate conception - actually he is waving a sign of the cross with his hand - no need for physical force when the spiritual works just fine...

No, no he doesn't. Jesus was a very idealistic and forthright man who was killed by his political enemies. Then when some of his followers and then their followers were really sad that he was gone, they made up stories of his divinity and then some other real assholes, like Paul and his followers, took it to the Nth degree.

This caused people to forget about what Jesus actually did and focus on a BS message concocted to control people through fear and manipulation.

You can believe what you want, but the rest of us will be busy getting on with our lives and living in the grown up world, where we don't have to be frightened into doing the right things.

Jesus was a good man, and his message has been co-opted by thugs.

"Our belief is substantiated by the fact six people within our congregation have testified to Jesus healing them from cancer," the church said.

Still no prosthetic limbs at "Our Lady of Lourdes". Why is that?
Are amputees "special" sinners?

If this was the US, I'd hazard a shot at lousy diagnostics in conjunction with our "special" Laissez faire health care

ox45tallboy: In the US, foods such as breakfast cereals claiming health benefits must get FDA approval to advertise this.

Why shouldn't churches that claim "Jesus cures disease" have to get FDA approval?


Because church is neither food nor a drug?

Elzar: However, Jesus has never healed an adult amputee by allowing their limb to grow back. Not once, in any scientific journal or historical account. 100% non-heal rate of amputees.

Clearly God hates amputees.


Nem Wan: In a medical study, some people who got the placebo will coincidentally be cured. That doesn't mean placebos can be advertised as a cure.

Where do we get these placebos?

Maybe there's some in this truck!

He can, but He wouldn't otherwise be able to slyly slip a fingertip inside her for a sniff while she lies quivering and crying in His lap.

Maybe because you were an idiot who beat a hornet's nest, and hornets have venom, which is a toxin, that they injected into your body, making you ill?

Also, be sure to wear tight, pretty panties when Jesus spanks you. preferably silk, or better yet leather. That turns Jesus on.

I saw one of those private billboards on the edge of some farmers land one time "Abortion, millions of people who will never pay into social security". It was a bizarre sign.

Then the other day i saw a car with anti abortion, anti euthanasia and anti war bumper stickers. I found it an oddly consistent pro-life stance.
