Members Anderton Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 I clicked through the whole thing. What I'd really like to know is what made this person wake up one day and say "Hey! I think I'll tell the story of the birth of Jesus with Legos! Yeah, that's the ticket!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members backtoblue Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 And I quote: Mary: "How can this happen if I have never had sex with a man?" Angel: "The Holy Ghost will come upon you." Brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members awfulcase Posted December 8, 2007 Members Share Posted December 8, 2007 When you use Legos, does that, then, make understanding the Bible a snap? Yes! There are some valuable biblical lessons on that site, especially for children, so they can learn the lessons of life in a playful way.

One of the "songs" on The Good Reverend's "albums" is intitled, "Jesus Had A 12 Inch Penis".... What kind of Rev. is this guy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me this doctrine which has been central to most mainstream Christians since the Romans adopted Christianity as their state religion and instituted the triune God as orthodoxy is little understood by most... I think a good Lego explanation might just help set that right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super 8 Posted December 8, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 8, 2007 I wonder if they have a lesson on the nature of the Trinity. Seems to me this doctrine . . . .is little understood by most... I don't think most Christians really understand the "why's" behind their belief. That's where faith comes in. It's sort of a gap filler between what you think you understand, and the mystery.I think trinitarian beliefs are an attempt to resolve different manifestations of God. I'm not sure anybody really understands it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted December 8, 2007 Members Share Posted December 8, 2007 I guess it wouldn't be a capital-M mystery if they did... It was on my mind, yesterday, as I'd had a rather pointed discussion with a buddy of mine who (though he calls himself an agnostic) was insisting that if you are not a Trinitarian you can't call yourself a Christian. So I did a fair amount of research not only on Christian/Christic sects and denominations that don't subscribe to Trinitarian beliefs but also, critically, on the early history of the church and the rather sudden adoption of Trinitarian concepts after the Roman Emperor Constantine transformed what was then Christianity into the Roman state religion. FWIW, I was raised in Trinitarian denominations (although my agnostic father was also a big influence, intellectually) but never really got it, either. Interestingly, it was my mom (a nominal Lutheran) who picked the name Thomas for me... I got a lot of razzing from the other kids for being named after the doubting disciple -- but ultimately, I think it was a fitting namesaking.

Members blue2blue Posted December 8, 2007 Members Share Posted December 8, 2007 Interesting Link. Who has the time for such things? At the risk of looking like I didn't give it a fair shot -- I only looked at maybe five or six panels. I mean... you know, you can kind of extrapolate the rest from there, with some accuracy, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
