    Religious Statue Falls- Happy Reformation Day!

    "Ignorance of this distinction between Law and Gospel is one of the principal sources of the abuses which corrupted and still corrupt Christianity." - Calvin's successor


    "By the words of the law man is admonished and taught, not what he can do, but what he ought to do. How is it that you theologians are twice as stupid as schoolboys, in that as soon as you get hold of a single imperative verb you infer an indicative meaning...?"
    -Martin Luther, The Bondage of the Will

    Man, I'll bet that guy who was switching hands in the front wishes they hadn't caught it on tape.

    And what's with the lady screaming and moaning?

    Thumbs down Amen

    King James Version of the Bible - Ten Commandments KJV
    I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

    7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

    8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

    9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

    In faith,
    Dudley

    May we all be Sons of the Reformation and continue to proclaim what it means to be Reformed Protestant Christians!

    Thankfully no one was hurt. If it fell onto the pews instead of the aisle, it will surely crack someone's head.

    If you notice carefully it's that old man in front who wasn't holding the statue in his hands in the 1st place. By the time he realizes it... oops...

    Well, when the statue of the demigod that you're currently worshipping falls down and cracks in half, it can be quite traumatic, I imagine.

    I love this story!

    1 Samuel 5:1 When the Philistines captured the ark of God, they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. 2 Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it up beside Dagon. 3 And when the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and put him back in his place. 4 But when they rose early on the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the Lord, and the head of Dagon and both his hands were lying cut off on the threshold. Only the trunk of Dagon was left to him. 5 This is why the priests of Dagon and all who enter the house of Dagon do not tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

    The only reason it fell over was because Benny Hinn was the guest speaker that Sunday.
