That is actually worse than the "Dear Lord Baby Jesus" prayer said by Ricky Bobby in the movie 'Talladega Nights' movie because the movie was a parody.
When you pronounce doctrine from the LaZBoy Throne of Sunday Sport Theology to the Church of Iscool (population 1), the possibilities are endless.
1Jn 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.
You guys are going to faint when you see Jesus...
Apparently you guys think you are going to meet a baby Jesus sitting on Mary's lap...
Rev 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Rev 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
Rev 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Rev 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
This is the Jesus you're going to encounter, whether it be at the Rapture or Armageddon or the Last Judgement...
Forget about a baby...There won't be any baby...
And you won't see a wimpy, limp-wristed, long haired, blue eyed peasant walking around in a robe...
You'll be standing before the Lion of the Tribe of Judah...
There won't be any baby that's portrayed in a painting or a statue...You guys need to learn who Jesus is...
We know that...God knows that...They refuse to see the words of God as their authority...Their religion is their authority...
Believing what God says is true, and hanging on every word of the scipture is idol worship, while praying to little statues is not???
I don't have to wonder what God thinks of that...
You won't be "standing" either. In fact you wont have human form and neither will Jesus. You will be in the presence of an incomprehensibly and infinitely perfect being.
I live in the country on a road between 2 towns, lots of traffic, not a surburban area. Since my dog and I have to walk single file I am always looking down. She loves to find road kill, I find my own kind of road kill...:O)
I moved in toward civilisation a little over a year ago after being 20+ years on a secluded lake...I'm a mile from the nearest store but still far enough out to see the deer in the back...
I feel sorry for those city slickers...

Like you, I am definately not a townie. Need space. GG
And you guys expect Him to kneel before you when you deign to enter Heaven.
Apparently you guys think you are going to meet a baby Jesus sitting on Mary's lap...
You may wish to get your eyes checked.
And you won't see a wimpy, limp-wristed, long haired, blue eyed peasant walking around in a robe...
That is correct. And He will not be happy about those who willingly depart from Christianity.
There won't be any baby that's portrayed in a painting or a statue...You guys need to learn who Jesus is...
We have 2000 years of learning who Jesus is. How many years do you have?
Mistaking the Bible for God is.
I don't have to wonder what God thinks of that...
Yeah, yeah. From God's mouth to yours, right? You may have a kindred spirit here on FR that also claims to speak for God.
Doesn't the Catholic church claim to speak for God?
Unlike certain lunatics who claim that God speaks through their mouths, we believe that God spoke to the Apostles, and through the Faith handed down from them, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Church remains.
We do not claim that God speaks from our mouths. Check the mirror for an example of somebody who does.
Are you saying that the Apostles were lunatics?
Unlike certain televangelists, evangelicals and other bottom dwellers, none of the Apostles ever claimed that God spoke through their mouths. How’s that all working out for you guys?
Are you saying that no Catholic speaks God's words from their mouth?
How do you know?
You don't know what you are talking about...The Protestant version of the Ten Commandments are the Jewish Ten Commandments...Long, long before Constantine invented your religion...
