When sinful, worldly, heathen, unsaved, pagan jeans get saved.

1, April 9, 2008

his-spirit-logo-100x133.jpg Thanks to the compromise and insidious shallowness of cultural Christianity so prevalent today, modesty is out the window! Another proof of this is a new line of skin-tight jeans called “His Spirit Jeans” by Castle Rock Jeans and Apparel Company. So what makes these pants “Christian?” Well, somewhere there’s a Bible verse smacked on them (kinda like the socks and shoe sole inserts featured here).

This company claims “Castle Rock Jeans is about innocence, life, purity and love.” Well, as you’ll see below, it’s painfully obvious this company defines “innocence” and “purity” by the world’s standards, not God’s.

For your consideration here’s just two of the many pairs of jeans available (you can click on the pictures to enlarge):

classicfaithfullboxed.jpg I’m not sure if the spiked-heel, knee-high, leather stiletto boots come with these women’s jeans but I’m seeing “innocence” and “purity” written all over them.

blkheartfull_edited11182.jpg And here’s a pair of the junior women’s jeans minus the stiletto boots but with little hearts on the butt.

And why just stop at just selling immodest and seductive jeans under the guise of Christianity? Why not advertise your hoodies using a model posing with a seductive look? And what seductive looking woman modeling “Christian” clothing would be complete without having the zipper almost halfway down?

pink_sweat_indie_017-318x480.jpgSomewhere on this sweatshirt is a “Christian” message . . . good luck finding it.

Now here’s the best part:

This company actually has a page for testimonials about their jeans. I was understandably curious as to what kind of a testimony one could give about these jeans (or any jeans for that matter) so I clicked on the link and found the following two testimonies:


“I love my jeans!!!! I now get to put on the ‘Amour of God’ and be witness. They are very comfortable and fit extremely well.”

Jenny K, Phoenix

Really Jenny from Phoenix, Arizona? You’re honestly equating these jeans to the “Armor of God?” Apparently Jenny has not only a zero understanding of what the Armor of God is, but her assumption that now she can be a “witness” makes me a little worried as to what she will be a witness of. Oh, biblical illiteracy is such a tragic plight to behold. Here’s some advice Jenny, crack open Ephesians and read about what the Armor of God actually is. Here’s a hint: It has nothing to do with skin-tight jeans designed to make the opposite sex stumble.


“I love my new scripture jeans. They are really comfortable, fit great and I’ve had very positive response from friends!”

Peggy in Surprise AZ

Peggy in Surprise, Arizona has had a “very positive response from friends.” I’m sure you did Peggy. And I bet most of them happened to be men.

You know, it’s one thing to sell this trash and market it as “Christian” apparel, but when you call it “His Spirit” it makes me fear for the owners when you consider the words of our Savior in Matthew 12:31.

Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.

The two views of a “Christian” toothbrush.

1, April 3, 2008

tootbrushes.jpg

The Cynical View:

Now that your kids are almost done polishing off all that “Christian” Easter candy, make sure your kids practice proper oral hygiene by brushing with “Christian” toothbrushes because those pagan, worldly toothbrushes just can’t get to those hard to reach places. What makes these better than worldly toothbrushes? Because the manufacturers of these plastic sticks with bristles on the end smacked a Bible verse* on the toothbrush, that why.

The Optimistic View:

These toothbrushes are useful in removing plaque from the teeth caused by all those sugary candy-coated sermons that the majority of American Christians swallow week after week. How is this done? Because the manufacturers of these plastic sticks with bristles on the end were kind enough to put a Bible verse* on the toothbrush; and in many cases that means these toothbrushes contain more Scripture than many sermons preached on any given Sunday in America.

* Granted, only the reference is printed on the toothbrush (not the actual Scripture) so you still have to look it up on your own . . . that is, if you’re not too busy.


Fleecing the flock in Tennessee.

You too can meet “Prophet” Woody Martin every Sunday and get your vial of magical Blood of Jesus oil.

[Picture removed at the request (threat) of "Prophet Woody" ministries]

But that’s not all Woody has for sale. You can also purchase your very own Victory Prayer Shawl for only $100.

[Picture removed at the request (threat) of "Prophet Woody" ministries]

But Woody’s not done marketing himself. On the resources page, besides the shawl, you can also purchase his books and his very own music CD too!

[Picture removed at the request (threat) of "Prophet Woody" ministries]

And coming April 16th, the peach suit GQ “Prophet” Danny Davis will begin revival services. Danny Davis is selling the same vial of oil as Woody, but Danny calls it the “No Evil Oil.

There’s fun to be had by everyone at Victory Temple Church. Even those who like to wear napkins on their heads.

Thanks to Fourpointer for the heads up on this wolf in a prayer shawl in Tennessee.


Selling a counterfeit faith to a biblically illiterate people. It’s like taking candy from a baby.

1, March 26, 2008

This kind of tomfoolery would vanish overnight if people knew the Scriptures. If people would actually read their Bibles these purveyors of another gospel would be out of business faster than they could say, “God wants you to sow a financial seed-of-faith offering.”

Selling (out) Easter.

1, March 17, 2008

Nothing says Happy Resurrection Sunday quite like the following items:


Resurrection eggs.

Resurrection action figure set.

Jelly Bean prayers.

Candy cross bracelets.

Chocolate cross.

And finally, nothing celebrates the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ like . . .

A giant pink elephant.

I wonder if Randy and Paula White’s divorce was due to financial stress.

“Christian” Kazoos?

1, March 8, 2008

Yup! It says “Jesus Loves Me” right on the kazoo so that settles it; it must be “Christian.” Who are you to say it’s not? “Judge not the kazoo lest you be judged!

“Fly With The Lord” junk.

More “Christianized” junk to appease your children.

Jesus Costume?

1, March 7, 2008

jesus-costume.jpg

Now your child can dress like the happy, won’t-condemn-anyone, non-judgmental, non-demanding, unholy, “best-buddy” Jesus that he’s been taught that the Lord is.

Why wait till your Halloween Harvest Parties to show off this apparel? Adorn your little sweetheart in this costume for your upcoming Easter party celebrating bunnies and colored eggs the risen Lord!

Nothing says shallow Christianity like a Jesus costume!



Cross-shaped swirl pops.

Stay cool with God?

1, February 26, 2008

When the church has to resort to a tropical penguin to interest children in God (and candy too) it’s no wonder that we’ve raised a generation of biblically illiterate and doctrinally ignorant entertainment-seekers whose concept of God is that He’s just a “cool” dude.

Cross Pops: Another shameful and irreverent use of the image of the cross.

Just think of all the people that will want to ask you about your faith in Jesus when they see you eating one of these.

Introducing the Fuzzy Bible.

1, February 22, 2008

fuzzy-bible.jpg Introducing this new Bible for kids.

Don’t let the publishers limit who this Bible would appeal to. This would make a perfect gift for those who want their Bible cover to reflect their depth and personal understanding of sound biblical doctrine: “a little fuzzy.” It would also be perfect for those who view Jesus as a cuddly little teddy bear.


When “salvation” becomes so trivial and cheap, it’s only natural to make a board game out of it.

1, February 22, 2008

salvation-challenge-game.jpg

Now you too can have this “evangelism tool wrapped in fun” when you play Salvation Challenge. This game boasts that you can “celebrate–and share–your faith by responding to the salvation message.”

Is a comment even necessary?


Trampling on the holy Word of God.

1, February 14, 2008

This has got to be one of the dumbest ideas in all of “Christian” Commercialism. Scripture verses on shoe inserts. Dumb from a practical, common sense, and reverential perspective, but probably not so dumb from a marketing perspective. I am certain there are enough lemming Christians who will buy this garbage to make the company that sells them a success.

shoe-inserts.jpg
But why just stop there? Witness while you walk with these dumb socks embroidered with a word like love, hope, praise, blessed or joy. Proof that if you slap the label “Christian” on it, cultural Christians buy anything.

socks.jpg

Speaking of “buying anything,” check out this company’s ministry links here. The marketing of shoe inerts and socks comes as no surprise when the company links to such ministries as:

Creflo Dollar Ministries
T. D. Jakes Ministries
Joyce Meyer Ministries
Paula White Ministries
Joel Olsteen

I guess the company figures if these guys can fleece the flock, they might as well get in on it too. If the sheeple are blind enough to send money to the above charlatans, then these same folks will quickly part with their money to buy a “Christian” shoe insert and a sock.


Ryhmes with “funny,” “honey,” and “bunny.”

1, February 12, 2008

Recently I was changing the channel of a television set at a convalescent facility I was at when I came across Mike Murdoch who was holding one of his own books as he was preaching (not the Bible). And guess what he was talking about? It was the very same thing he was talking about when I came across him on TV back in October (see this previous post). I’ll give you one guess and three hints as to what he was talking about–what his “gospel” is. Se if you can guess correctly.

Hint 1:  It rhymes with “funny.”

Hint 2:  It rhymes with “honey.”

Hint 3: It rhymes with “bunny.”

As a side note, the video below is an update on another wolf leading the flock astray: Kenneth Copeland.


Psychedelic frog Nativity set.

I know, I know . . . Christmas is over, but I just stumbled upon this piece of trash depicting the birth of Christ. I figured my Den of Robbers category was looking pretty famished so I thought I’d throw this in! Nothing says Christmas like psychedelic frogs, eh?


How little reverence there is for Jesus.

An examination of the Prosperity “gospel.”

This video was made by fellow blogger and brother in Christ, Fourpointer. He did a great job on exposing some of the many lies of the Word of Faith cult. (That’s right, I said “cult”).


“Christian” beads are spiritually superior than the evil, unsaved, heathen beads of the world?

1, November 22, 2007

Chris from A Little Leaven has featured this product and he asks some great questions:

FAITH BEADS

“Was there a problem with the secular beading market? Were young girls being lead into a life of sin by ‘worldly’ and ’satanic’ beading supplies? Was there really a need for Christian beads to be offered in order to protect young Christian girls from the evil influences of the secular beads? Furthermore, we’d like to know what exactly makes these beads Christian?”

Thanks to Independent Conservative for this video. Apparently Benny Hinn is still preaching the false prosperity gospel.


Steve Munsey . . . just another prosperity pimp.

1, November 8, 2007

Thanks to Independent Conservative for this video. Let the brainwashing begin!

Although a great competing candidate, I still think Robert Tilton takes the false prosperity gospel pimp-of-the-year award based on this commercial of his.


A 3 a.m. infomercial for real estate or “Christianity?”

Neither!

Robert Tilton, I nominate you for the false prosperity gospel pimp-of-the-year award!


Mike Murdock and the three magic genie “prayers.”

1, November 6, 2007

mike-murdock.gif I saw something recently that I wanted to share. I was out of town and came across TBN and another TBN-like “Christian” channel called Inspiration on the TV in the hotel. I found myself mesmerized, switching back and forth between the two. My wife asked why I was bothering watching this, but it was like watching a train wreck. You don’t want to look, but you can’t help it.

On this particular channel they were having a Camp Meeting Telethon (a fund-raiser . . . imagine that!) and even TD Jakes was pimping for dollars. Then came Mike Murdock. What this purveyor of the prosperity gospel said caused me to reach for my pad and pen to take note.

Mr. Murdock told the audience (and those watching from home) that he prayed for three blessing for us. (Gee, thanks for caring so much about us, Mike). They sounded more like magic genie wishes to me. Are you ready for this?

1). That every blessing he gets you get too. He called this the Prayer of Boaz.

2). That you can own your home debt free. Not just any old small home but a huge mansion of a home. During this same broadcast he boasted about how big his home was.

3). That God will put people in your lives that you can “get something from.” Wow, using people for our benefit has never felt so spiritual. But didn’t Jesus warn against this?

With all this garbage that spewed out of his mouth, the “audience” just clapped and applauded and nodded in approval. I grieve for them. They are so deceived because they are so ignorant of the Scriptures.

FourPointer recently posted an article on Mr. Murdock. You can see it here.


Does your pastor live in a 3.6 million dollar home?

1, October 26, 2007

Thanks to Independent Conservative for keeping us aware of what men like this are gaining from the “gospel.” I was actually more surprised by the results of the news poll at the end of the video than I was that yet another preacher is using the Gospel to live like a king.

With all the damage that men like this do to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, is it any wonder why Atheism is growing?


Does the “W” really stand for “Watch?”

1, October 26, 2007

 

Here’s the website selling the official I Worship Watch Joel Osteen lapel pin. It’s just another example of our bloated excess as the Western Church lives in the comfortable lap of luxury.

iwjo.jpg

I wonder how many Christians who are going without food in their stomachs or Scriptures in their hands in the poorest parts of India are going to order this as a Christmas present. I wonder how many Christians who are fleeing from Mulsims trying to kill them, or who are being tortured in a communist prison cell are itching to get their hands on this.

Can we expect WWJD (What Would Joel Do?) anytime soon?


Rubber Ducky Nativity set.

1, October 23, 2007

As you have seen lately, God is being used to make money on products that only those who worship at the altar of Churchianity would purchase. Since the commercialism of Christmas is already underway, (and has been since September in some stores), what better way to celebrate the Christmas season than with useless “Christian” junk?

You’ve seen the Colors of Faith Ducky and the Angel Duckies and their counterparts the Devil Duckies. But now, thanks to Oriental Trading, we have the Rubber Ducky Nativity Set complete with baby Jesus as a little ducky.

duck-nativity.jpg

What better way to teach your kids the meaningfulness of Christmas than by displaying the Ducky Nativity Set in your home today?

And for our Jewish friends there’s a whole line of Hanukkah Duckies and Hanukkah Hacky Sacs to cheapen your holiday too.

Reformation Nation has moved. Please visit us at our new blog: Defending. Contending.


Sometimes you just have to laugh to keep from crying.

It’s shameful that the “preachers” highlighted in this video (Copeland, Dollar, Murdock, Hinn) are, more often than not, what comes to mind when the world thinks of Christians.


The “Christian” psychic . . . uh, I mean prophet . . . and his prophetic soap.

1, September 24, 2007

Want to be a Christian but don’t want to give up your love of psychics and psychic readings? Well now you don’t have to. Thanks to self-proclaimed psychic prophet Bishop E. Bernard Jordan, if you “donate” $50 you will receive a live-streaming “prophecy” in which the “company of prophets will call your name and prophesy to you into the camera while you watch.” Can’t afford $50? Then send your “$37 faith offering and receive your personal, tailer-made prophetic word from the prophet Jordan, in his own voice, on CD.”

Also, did you know that “the Bible is the greatest success manual ever written?” According to Bishop Jordan, applying the principles found in the Bible will transform you from a believer to an achiever.

And finally, what would any self-respecting psychic prophet be without his own line of prophet soap? That’s right! You can now order bars of soap that “will cause you to experience the prophetic in a way you would never expect.”

I enjoy the mild aroma of the Prophetic Awareness Soap , but I prefer the way the Prosperity Soap leaves my skin feeling soft and fresh.

With the recent passing of Tammy Faye Bakker-Messner, and her funeral performed by the homosexual “Reverend” Randy McCain, I thought we should drop in and see what her ex-husband has been up to.

Welcome to the Jim Bakker Show. Notice the first box under his picture on his website is a Paypal link to “Donate Now.” The more things change the more they stay the same.


Kenneth Copeland apostasy: Says Jesus was the first man to be born again from sin.

And yet the multitudes continue to sit under his teachings and send this wolf their money.


Benny Hinn claims Jesus is appearing in person in the Muslim world.

Benny Hinn claiming that Jesus is appearing in person in the Muslim world. Then amazingly he turns this around into a plea for more money.
