But I found there was much I couldn't do what Jesus would (like walk sinless). To cynical me, the whole thing was another lame Christian marketing scam. Â Well I think however now we can do those things, we are now covered by Christ's sinless sacrifice and He lives in us (Colossians 1:27) so we are sinless in that regard, as for drinking wine, that was custom of the times (water was often polluted, and wine mixed in to cleanse), and Jesus said he wouldn't drink of another cup until the Wedding Supper of Lamb. When it says WWJD, I think the goal was to do what Jesus did, prayer for sick, tend to the lost, preach the Kingdom, and so forth. For even Peter was allowed to walk on water with Jesus, and so anything is possible in God the Trinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWWYHMTD? Jesus, what would you have me to do?  Do you think He would have someone do anything different than what He would do? Not sure what you are talking about here.

Â What will Jesus do should be the question if you are going to go this route. Â I don't think we are authorized to do what Jesus would do.

Just sayin'. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is possible a commercialization was involved, jut like now Life Way is pushing the slogan "The Way, The Truth, and Life," albeit omitting the whole verse, "I am the Way, The Truth, and the Life, none shall come to Father except through me." (John 14:6). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad when salvation becomes an 'it'. You've gotta admit, its better than "Nikki, Just Sports" or "Apple, take a bite." I would rather have Christian slogans, than the secular ones.

It also depends, if you have deep relationship with Trinity and now the words in their proper sense, the slogan can just be profession, instead of just commercialization. But I understand what you mean, there has been marketing to us Christians merely to make a buck, in my opinion Risen, the movie was such a film as well as some others.
