Local Man's Theology Corrected by New Glasses

“I was blind, but now I see…just how bad my theology was!” man exclaims

In a surprising turn of events, local man Bob Smith discovered that his theology was in dire need of correction—thanks to a new pair of reading glasses. After years of misinterpreting Scripture, Bob's new lenses allowed him to read the Bible clearly for the first time.

"I always thought 'God helps those who help themselves' was in there somewhere," Bob confessed. "Turns out, it's not! And that's just the tip of the iceberg."

Bob's newfound clarity has led to a complete overhaul of his beliefs, particularly those influenced by popular pastors and trendy theological ideas. He was shocked to discover that many catchphrases he'd accepted as biblical truth were actually misinterpretations or not in Scripture at all.

"I used to nod along when pastors talked about God being a gentleman who won't violate our free will," Bob chuckled. "But now I see that doesn't really align with how God intervenes in the Bible. And don't get me started on all those catchy sermon titles that aren't actually scriptural!"

As Bob delved deeper into his newly legible Bible, he found himself questioning concepts he'd long taken for granted, like libertarian free will and the idea that God's blessings are conditional while His love is unconditional.

"It's amazing what you can see when you actually read the text," Bob said. "I feel like I've been given a new pair of spiritual eyes. I guess I need to be more careful about swallowing every catchy phrase from the pulpit!"

Bob's experience serves as a humorous reminder of the importance of reading Scripture carefully and critically. His new glasses didn't just correct his vision—they corrected his theology. As he continues to explore the Bible with his improved eyesight, Bob is excited to see what other truths he might uncover.

In the end, Bob's story is a testament to the power of clear vision—both physical and spiritual. "Who knew that a simple pair of glasses could shake up my entire belief system?" Bob mused. "I wonder if my optometrist realizes he's in the business of theological correction!"

Christian Pacifists Reinterpret Romans 13 After Tragic Animal Incidents

Fred and Peanut Become Latest Mascots for Justice In a surprising twist, Christian pacifists have taken a page from the revolutionary Presbyterians' book by reinterpreting Romans 13, following the tragic demise of Fred the squirrel and Peanut the raccoon at the hands of government officials. These furry martyrs have sparked a theological debate, as pacifists now argue that Romans 13 supports civil disobedience against unjust state actions. Fred and Peanut, beloved local mascots, were allegedly "neutralized" for causing minor disruptions in a public park. Their untimely deaths have become a rallying cry for pacifists, who argue that the state's actions were neither just nor necessary. In response, pacifists assert that Romans 13, traditionally seen as a call to obey governing authorities, actually mandates resistance when the state acts contrary to God's will. They emphasize Paul's call to "overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21) as a directive to ch...

Men Named "David" More Likely to Suffer Identity Crisis

Matt Chandler, the lead pastor of Southern Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas, has shot to the evangelical spotlight in after preaching a sermon in which he proclaims that "You're not David!" to an unsuspecting captive audience. In doing so, however, he inadvertently caused a mass identity crisis among an unlikely, oddly-specific demographic: people who actually are named "David." One person, who commented on the condition of anonymity, said: "I've been called David my whole life. Now that I've been told I'm not David, I don't even know who I am anymore. I've started going by my middle name, but nobody's ever called me "Matthew" before and it's really taking some getting used to. My children look at me like I'm a stranger. My wife says she feels like she's sleeping with another man. I feel like a stranger in my own skin. I'm having an identity crisis. What do I do? We reached out to a local counselor for ...
