I received an e-mail today about how Pepsi has made a patriotic can with the pledge of allegiance on it. That is all fine and good but is supposedly omitted the "under God" part of the pledge. Being the junior investigator that I am, I clicked on good 'ol Google and looked it up. Liked I had feared, it was a hoax.
Is that what its come to? God fearing, Christians have to depend on their "creativity" to get people on our side. What good are we doing by making something that is not true or even misunderstood out to be an attack on non-believers. I don't remember Jesus boycotting anyone because they didn't believe, as a matter of fact He loved them. The only people he really keyed in on were the religious leaders who were using the law as a whipping stick. Sounds kind of familiar to me, kind of like how we tend to make people feel when they don't live up to our standards.
I have been one of those people before. I have actually been on both sides. I have been the one who looked down on people because of their sin and I have been looked down on for mine. Now I am not throwing stones at anyone who has ever forwarded one of those e-mails. I have done my share. It wasn't until a good friend of mine in D.C. called me out on a hoax that I started checking in on the credibility of the e-mails.
Be careful of false testimony and the people giving them. Like the old saying goes, two wrongs don't make a right.
