John Piper's website: Why Christians shouldn't watch filth like Deadpool

[ALAYMAN]

False accusations, failure to apologize, calling out others for supposed "blatant sins"...

...aren't you the good pharisee?

Tell it to Jesus.


The way you attempted to shame me for calling a Tomato a Tomato has zero effect on me.

Apparently slandering others doesn't affect you either.

different people will be affected by what they see and hear in different ways..... ... but we can;t dictate to other people how they should see things..... and we shouldn;t allow ourselves to be dictated to in return..  .....our beliefs in this regard have to be our own......  otherwise our religion becomes little more than faith in the spirituality of someone else...... ....

But my fundie pastor said.....

such questions could be asked before any of us undertake any leisure activity or sit down to any form of entertainment..... ....

Indeed.
If anybody answers these questions the way that a "good Christian" is supposed to answer them, he/she might as well stay in bed all day and not interact with anybody or anything.


....except to go the church of course......

It's OK.

a) They're probably culottes.
b) Jimmy could have been wearing BDUs and a lionskin hood and he would still have been a pouf.

James had some modesty but the guys third from the left and far right leave me speechless and very uncomfortable. What were they thinking?

the shoes are kinda cute..... ..... . but those leggings are one step away from being yoga pants.... 

[size=14pt]do you think king james really knew how to use that sword?........ or was it just there for decoration?....  ???[/size]

I think it was just a decoration.

Was probably glued into the scabbed so he wouldn't hurt himself can't imagine he was a quick draw.
