The Seven Deadly Sinners in One Christ in the Bible


I.   The Angry Christ                         Mark 11:12-14;  Matthew 21:18-20
          Jesus was really pissed off at figs for being nakedly dioecious,
          thereby fooling His Dad on Day Three.  Maybe the fig tree
          was a virgin?


II.  The Verbally Abusive Christ    Matthew 5:22;  Matthew 23:17
          What ever happened to the soft word that turneth away wrath?
          And practicing what is preached?


III. The Cruelly Violent Christ      Matthew 10:34; Luke 19:27;
                                                                    Luke 22:35-38
          A sword is a sword, is a sword, is a sword.  Jesus should have
          tried smiles instead of similes--and murder.


IV.  The Slick Christ                            Matthew 22:21
          Looks like Caesar bought naming rights on some of Yahweh's
          Creation.  The original deed to the Creation was absolute
          as per Psalm 24:1; Haggai 2:8; and Colossians 1:16.


V.   The Deceitful Christ                      Matthew 13:10-11;  John 7:6-10;
                                                                     1 Peter 2:22
          Time seems to have dimmed Peter's memory.  Wonder what
          the Aramaic word for "is" is?
     
VI.  The Racist Christ                          Matthew 15:22-28
          Jesus used the canine epithet on a distraught, plain Canaanite
          mother.  But her sincere, humble response embarrassed this
          Son of God more than the mocking crown of thorns.


VII. The Sinful Christ                            Luke 3:21;  Mark 10:18
          What did Jesus do?  Now available--a new plastic band "WDJD"
          To be worn by a whole flock of believers who were washed in 
          the tears of Jim Bakker, Ted Haggard, and Jimmy Swaggart.


   Which Christ is worthy of imitation?  Forgive them--they
    know not what they are doing.
