Gimme a break people! A christiain is nothing more than a person who places top importance in God and the priciples and ideals set out in the bible. That does not equal perfect or lack of sense of humor.  I think this is very funny. I see no sign of blasphemy and am happy to see this pastor make something entertaining for his youth.

no, they're just showing how michael scott would run as a youth pastor.

@dtyouthalive amen its embarrassing.

What the heck is all your problems? It's because of these stupid arguments that cause many people to revert and embrace Atheism. Don't you understand that the church arguing over each other over small idiosyncratic ideas is what turns many away from the light of Jesus. We are supposed to be the light upon the hill. We are supposed to be mirroring his image by loving and NOT by bickering amongst each other. Look, keep denominational issues to yourself and focus on spreading the Gospel of Jesus.

@ryanthecalvinist No, man. No hard feelings. It's a small hill for me to die on. We both love Jesus. That's all that matters.

@sorenkierkegaard2008 i have said my peace. if you feel you need the last word for your ego's sake, feel free.

@sorenkierkegaard2008 is God fully man in the person of Jesus Christ? YES. He IS at the SAME TIME the SOVEREIGN KING of the UNIVERSE and is HOLY. Are you implying you want to see a scene in a Jesus film where he is using the restroom? it seems that is what you are getting at. I hope not.

sins are always sins against God. that's why they are sins. d'oy

[sorenkierkegaard2008]

@ryanthecalvinist au contraire. Absolutely, it's the sort of thinking that leads to Jesus movies where Jesus has perfect hair and no bodily functions. And what I'm getting at is, if it's a sin, then a sin against whom? If it's not a sin, then there is no issue. Mocking another with it, certainly can be rude. But, give me a break, the guy's poking fun at himself, and showcasing his own humanity. Christ died to save people who poop- not merely people who've repented of their bodily functions.

@sorenkierkegaard2008 I had NO idea that my recognizing that potty humor is in bad taste leads to papal infallibility. readlly dude. evil kenevil could not make that leap! ha! :) and I don't need to hear poop jokes in church to remember that I'm not God. I just need to be humbly reminded of my sins. that does the job just fine and points me to the cross, where I find forgiveness and eternal life as a result of Christ suffering God's wrath for my sake.

[sorenkierkegaard2008]

@ryanthecalvinist You're extra-biblically inserting your own definition into reverent and sober-minded. To take oneself and one's human frailty, including our excretory system lightly is to remind others that we are not God. Elijah mocked a false god with it, and being self-depricating can be a way of mocking (justly) oneself, rather than being the sort of reverent that leads to papal infallibility and church leaders who take themselves too seriously. It is not irreverent to God in the least.

[ryanthecalvinist]

@sorenkierkegaard2008 I have already cited to you examples of our need to be sober-minded. not a kill-joy. yet still sober, thinking on things that are praise-worthy. making fart jokes as a point to try to seem cool to entertain kids is not giving God glory. Church is not about entertainment. it is about preaching the salvation found in the crucified and risen messiah we worship.

cute try playing the pharisee card. I'm all gospel-based though. how do you judge it is holy and reverent??
