| The statue before the fire |
A lighting strike late Monday night caused the statue to catch fire, and it was quickly destroyed. Here's some friendly advice to the Solid Rock Church: next time you construct a statue of the Son of God, don't use a lot of styrofoam. It burns fast.
It would be easy to dismiss this as a freak lightning strike, but could it mean something more? To a lot of people the statue was a punchline - the so-called touchdown Jesus ... big butter Jesus ... and many other names, not to mention all the idiots who did this.
Can we get some input from JP?
the second commandment says it all.'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
ReplyDeleteObviously they are worshipping the wrong deity or he doesn't exist.
ReplyDeleteThe statue was a perfect addition to the structure behind it. The site is a low-lying plain, and the "Solid Rock Church" is built totally upon fill material, making an obviously accurate metaphor.
ReplyDeleteyou can bet his ass got burn't. oh, my god
ReplyDeleteWikepedia has the full story of it's destruction.

He'll rise again in 3 days.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you can second guess the use of styrofoam, but how long did it stand before this was an issue?
Long live the freakishly large and slightly scary image of Christ.
My family and I always enjoyed it as a landmark on trips. It was always the "touchdown Jesus". But the important thing to remember is it is just a man made object that can be destroyed and lost. The true love of Jesus will always be with you. Even those who mock.
ReplyDeleteAmen! 9:38 Well said. Thank You>
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the golden calf. This morning the pastor said they would have it rebuilt. He's asking for it.
ReplyDeleteThey will replace it with a golden calf.
ReplyDeleteThe faithful of this church have seemingly exempted themselves from the 2nd of the Ten Commandments. Are they a part of the movement to have them displayed at government buildings?
ReplyDeleteWWJD?
ReplyDeleteDo you realize what you could do to help people with $700,000! Any church that uses God's money for something as dumb as that shouldn't be dumb enough to build it again....though they will
ReplyDeleteI believe in Jesus...but not in the form of a $700,000 statue along I-75.
