A local pastor said he was told his advertisements on bus benches in Colorado Springs would be barred if they use the name Jesus.

Lawson Perdue, a pastor at Charis Christian Center in west Colorado Springs for 15 years, said he was told if the name Jesus was allowed, hate messages would have to be allowed, too.

Perdue said his church has been advertising on transit benches in the city for the past three years, using various Jesus-related campaigns. Two years ago benches said "Celebrate Jesus," last year benches said "Experience Jesus," and now benches say "Jesus is Lord."

Lemme guess they’ll allow “Praise Allah” and LGBT rainbows.

Because it’d hurt the mussie’s feelings.

Interesting times. The wheat is really separating from the chaff these days. God gave us free will. Choose wisely.

Ok, so DON’T use the name “Jesus”. Learn and use his Hebrew name which was Y’shuah. The letter J wasn’t even invented till about 500 years ago, and the Greeks called him Iousus or something to that affect. But, Y’shuah is Jewish, so why not call him by the name his Jewish Mama gave her baby boy? She wouldn’t have given him a Greek name, or a Chinese name, or even an American name since America wasn’t invented then, either!

He was named after his Father whose name is represented by the 4 letters and whose name means ‘salvation’.

;)

Unless they are thinking of mosque advertisements, but even still a “come worship Allah” isn’t exactly the same facial meaning as “we hate infidels.”

How about learning the actual Greek spelling, it is not super hard. Have some respect for the actual Greek New Testaments, whose existence underlines the outreach of Christ to the Gentiles because those stuck up Jews refused Him.

Assumed, but without scriptural attestation.

“Allah is not God and Mohammed is not the prophet of the one, true God.”

I would love to see billboards, bus kiosks and bus benches throughout that nation stating...

Allah is the false moon-god and Mohammed (Pigs Be Upon Him) is its false prophet.
