PASTOR BRAD BLASTED!
FOR SARCASM:
YOUR RESPONSE Here are some of your responses: Sarcasm...oh please! Obviously the preacher
is not one who has read Matthew-Mark-Luke-John....
the gospels!!! Jesus is so LOADED down is sarcasm
to the Pharisees and Sadducees that it would have been considered RUDE!! No, you should not be unkind
and uncaring to NON-believers, Jesus always showed
the utmost kindness and respect to sinners and lawbreakers! Case in point is the woman at the well. But to us
"insiders" who should no better, Jesus can really
"let us have it!". So as long as you watch where and
who you direct it to, sarcasm is a genuine
method of teaching! Read a parable if you doubt it!

I watched the video in question and I'm still laughing.
I wonder if your comments might have hit a little
too close to home for Pastor Dave. All I can say
is that the OT prophets, Jesus' teaching,
and Paul's letters all contain sarcasm.
All of these men used sarcasm to shock people
into taking a closer look at themselves.Russ, Cincinnati, Ohio (bold mine)
I can really see why some would take offence to
this video especially the religious types that believe
more denomination than relationship with Jesus Christ.
You will never please everyone and so keep fighting
the fight and working out your own salvation
in fear in trembling before our Lord.
May the video cause many to wake up
and preach the Word which saves
rather than all the other gimics. Mark, PE South Africa (bold mine)
Actually, in I Kings 18, when Elijah defeats
the prophets of baal, he is incredibly sarcastic
and actually trash talks the prophets
as he calls upon God. He asks them if
their god is sleeping, or maybe he's in the bathroom.
Sounds like biblical sarcasm to me!!!

By todays standards I am an old dude.
So therefore I am biased. I liked it.
I am a pastor and have also traveled extensively
for 54 years. I love all types of ministry.
My church is country as a turnip green.
My son attends a rock gospel church with his family.
They are much larger than us. The video took
a shot at a group that had taken shots at all of us
for years. I play a banjo and have been made fun
of since I was small. Keep me on your email list.

Tomorrow I'll give you my response, including my favorite "sarcastic quotes" from the bible.
