(Shaking head)... SO embarassing. On SO many levels. Maybe too many levels to list here. But start with the whole "Black" (okay, "African" - eye roll) then add "Christian"... "thing." Or start with the whole "Christian"... then add the "Black" (sorry, "African" - eye roll)... "thing. Or insert the whole "In the name of JEESUZ!" thing.
Wait, what about the whole "How about you, brother?" (or whatever the guy said). Just some random "brother"... not displaying anything out of the ordinary... but, yeah, sure, HE's got a "demon" - the guy could just TELL... right? I mean, didn't he LOOK like he had a "demon", what with that sports jersey n' all? EVERYBODY knows that REAL Christian men... wear suits. Right?
And what about the whooping and hollerin'? What is UP with THAT? Just don't see the necessity, even without trying to expel a "demon." But, I mean, I would think that ALONE would be enough to cause any self-respecting "demon" to get the hell outta there (no pun intended. Then, again...). The noise alone should send it runnin'. It would me... now ('cause ya'll know I was raised in that... ummmm... melarkey. Just didn't "see" it, then. Although, I really never grasped WHY someone who loved God/Christ NEEDED to YELL it. Shout praises? Sure. Yell... to the point your voice is hoarse? WTFrick? I digress.)
All of that aside... WHERE... PRAY tell... someone PLEASE... can ANYONE see CHRIST... in ANY of this??? EVEN if the "brother" HADN'T... ummmm... well, I won't spoil it for those who haven't yet viewed it.
But where... oh, WHERE... did they GET this "mess" as coming from Christ?? Heck, from the Apostles, other early Body? One doesn't need to shout to cast out a "demon." Just tell it to get the frick OUT. And folks don't always go fallin' down on the ground and writhing around. One man... one boy... who suffered from epilepsy did that. But that's because THAT'S WHAT AN EPILECTIC DOES... WHEN HAVING AN EPILECTIC SEIZURE.
Sigh. Mankind. We are SO... GULLIBLE. The ONLY thing that made any LICK of sense here is what "brother-man" FINALLY did. I mean, at least HE came to his senses (pun TOTALLY intended)... and showed he really was in the "real" world. Real, meaning... well, ya'll KNOW there are folks who really CAN'T not (do what he did, when what happened happened) THESE days. Indeed, THAT's the only [kind of] "call" MOST folks are answerin'! LOLOLOL!
Peace... and thanks for sharing this fiasco, dear, dear Sher'f!
YSFS of Christ,
