RECALL NOTICE

 

 

I so loved this. What do you think? Marilyn.

I recall seeing this many years ago and got a kick out of it.  It gets the general points of the gospel across.

M. C. You have a kind heart and I understand your attempt at lighthearted and even humorous ideas. I am sure you have a very good idea of what this means to some by now.

We often more readily say stuff on here due to safety. If we were face to face, most would be far more circumspect.

Davida has some very good points as well, and technically speaking, I agree more with that take than the OP.

Whatever we do and however we attempt to accomplish that, it will never be wholly acceptable to all of us at any one given moment in time. 

Thanks for the post and the ideas. I think that we are (of necessity sometimes) rather prescriptive and so sometimes the platitudes seem appropriate. Being sometimes poetic and at other times quite whimsical and obtuse, I can see that some people would like the blase approach. I do not favor this simplistic and comic idea though. For Chick Tracts, maybe. But for serious discussion - I do not think so.

Hi Justin Adams,

I actually didn`t write the notes `recall.` I think it is a good picture to illustrate one point if we are talking to non Christians that we think may benefit from a pictorial illustration. We all use pictorial illustrations and we never expect them to cover all the truths we believe. They are not the truth, but point to the truth. Looking at the example I gave Davida,

`...a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes...` (Rev. 5: 6)

We definitely know that the Lord is NOT a real lamb and he does not have seven actual horns and seven actual eyes. We realise this is a pictorial illustration with symbols. It shows some points of the Lord but does not explain all the truths regarding Him. So it is with the contemporary illustration, the Recall, to me it helps unbelievers to grasp the picture of our sin, our behaviour and the need for help. It is simplistic for it is only getting out one major point. As to serious discussion, well it would be a great launching point for unbelievers to ask relevant questions.

- How does Jesus change us?

- What did he do to pay the price?

Jesus used contemporary pictures to illustrate a truth. The picture is NOT the truth but points to the truth. We need to understand it is not all about us and our wanting deeper discussions, but to have good illustrations to help those we meet in the journey of life.

the way this is described in technical language seems very successful, but i feel obliged to inform you that it is not exactly due to a defect in the heart, it is due to the absolutely indefinite existence/presence of the so-called "darkness" in the universe - the soul is the unit of the consumption of life, while God is the system Administrator and Provider of life - the difference between God and the souls is like the difference between a transmitter and receivers

Hi ytLiJC,

As I said in the last post, a pictorial illustration is not the truth but points to the truth. I see the Recall picture as a good help to unbelievers to illustrate the sin problem. from there then the discussion can move on to the actual truths. Jesus used pictorial illustrations and then interpreted them to His disciples. They are used to bring over a point and promote discussion.

RECALL NOTICE

The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units, code named Adam & Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been identified as `Sub sequential Internal Non-morality,` more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.

 

Some of the symptoms include:

 

1. Loss of direction

2. Foul vocal emissions

3. Amnesia of origin

4. Lack of peace and joy

5. Selfish or violent behaviour

6. Depression or confusion

7. Fearfulness

8. Idolatry

9. Rebellion

The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect.

The Repair Technician, JESUS, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.

The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R. Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into your heart component.

 

No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:

 

1. Love

2. Joy

3. Peace

4. Patience

5. Kindness

6. Goodness

7. Faithfulness

8. Gentleness

9. Self control

Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (BEST Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.

 

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list, and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on Jesus.

 

DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention!

• GOD

P.S. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice, and you may contact the Father any time by `Knee mail.`

Because He lives!

 

Working for God on earth doesn`t pay much…..but His retirement plan is out of this world!

 

I so loved this. What do you think? Marilyn.

Amnesia of origin,    that or selective amnesia.  

selective amnesia.   the condition in which one conveiniently has a temporary lapse in memory.

example.  Son have the trash taken out before I get home.

Later , oh dad I forgot.

SO the next day.   SON I want you to run around and play games today.......

later.............YEAH he didn't forget that did he .  

Just an example .
