“The Promise,” Jack’s explanation for the strife in the Middle East. It all goes back to Abraham, Sarah and Hagar being Abraham’s surrogate wife.
It’s classic Chick! It’s got that same dorky guy with the teeny mustache (Bob) from so many other tracts telling some Bible story to a couple of tourists who evidently have never heard of the Bible before in their entire lives:
Bob: Jesus Christ is God Almighty. It was only His precious blood that could wash away our sins.
Tourists: That’s amazing! I never heard that before!
Geez, lady, have you been living under a rock all your life? The tract ends with the obligatory instant conversion we all come to expect from Chick tracts!
I doubt this thread will last as long as the “Evolution or Jesus” thread, but I couldn’t let this monumental event in the worlds of theology and publishing go unnoticed!
… this whole Middle East thing… It’s all Abraham and Sarah’s fault. Silly me for not thinking of that. And here I thought it involved deep social-political-religious & economic issues going back for centuries. How silly of me. Right… Abraham and Sarah. :rolleyes:
I personally like the line, “His name was Abraham and he was a friend of God.”
To me, that brings up images of God and Abe shooting some pool, having some beers, Abe complimenting God, “Hey, Lord, you did a nice job with the hooters on that redhead!”
Of course, jab1 already commented on the best line: the tourist who had never heard of Jesus dying for your sins.
Four thousand years of strife in the mid-east. Why? Because of a woman, of course! These are the sort of fine little details that make Christianity the mother of all patriarchies.
Why id it every time I read the phrase “God’s love gift” it brings an image of a Celestial 70’s porn movie.
“I’m here to audition for the Choir Invisible?”
and am a little perturbed to find England has been bought to her knees by Islam and no one told me about it. Why am I always the last to know anything?
