Jesus loves you, but he hates religious debates.
We saw the skywriting at WDW last month. I don't remember what it said, but I took a pic of the smiley face:

I think we were there the same day!!! I remember seeing that over Epcot. IIRC, it said "God =". Kinda peeved me off a teensy bit (I had been hoping to avoid him lol), but I survived and moved on.

One wonders if you would have the same sentiment to a message that didn't specifically mention Christianity. I doubt "Allah Loves You" would evoke the same response from you.

I wasn't aware you were having a "private" discussion. It was a legitimate question. You can choose to answer it or ignore it.
Of course I am, we both are. We're just judging them differently.
If I were in his financial position, I would not be spending all that money on a plane. I'd be using that money to benefit people in more practical ways. The way I interpret the NT, Jesus didn't tell me to spend money writing His name in the sky. He told me that I would be judged based on how I treated others-I'm sure you know the parable of the Sheep and the Goats.
by now I would have thought the guy would have realized if God wanted the message to spread, it wouldn't blow away in ten minutes.
*sigh*
I also doubt "Allah Loves You" would also evoke the same response from you!![]()
It wasn't a private conversation, but rather a public discussion of a specific comment Fitswimmer made. You're welcome to join in.

And ftr, I thought the smiley was cute too!I think I was just sorta tired/cranky that morning (the joys of getting to the parks for rope drop lol!).
This is what upsets me too. All that money..Practice what you preach. If you want to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, feed the poor. don't blow smoke over Orlando.

BTW, God and Allah are the same.
Do you think telling people "Jesus loves you" is fullfilling this scripture:
Mark 16
15He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved.
In addition, I believe this passage is pertinent to your post.
Matthew 26
6While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, 7a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
8When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked. 9"This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor."
10Aware of this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 11The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. 12When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her."
they sure are
Only if Allah had a Son named Jesus, as God.
