Jesus wants more friends
|
Someone pointed me to this link to a religious leaflet that they'd found. It's quite interesting. But I don't really understand something about the evangelist logic illustrated here. In their analogy, I'm a terrible felon standing in front of a judge; I'm guilty of murder and theft, among many other crimes. I should probably go to prison, as I'm clearly a danger to society. Yet evangelists feel that a monetary fine would pay for my crimes, and it doesn't even have to be me who pays it. The good lord Jesus will pay the fine, and I can leave the court that very day. I suppose I'd have to promise to pay him back - but as they point out in the first part of the leaflet, I'm a liar as well as a thief. If I do pay Jesus back, by being his friend, I get to go to heaven. Although I remain a sinner even when I'm friends with him, and why would Jesus want so many evil friends? Unless it's to make him look harder by association. The more I find out about Christianity the stranger it seems. |
