To all? Ever heard the phrase, "What would Jesus drive"?

Well, the Pope drives an electric Suburu or sometimes an electric Mercedes Benz.

The Pope ran out of gas quite awhile ago so recharged his batteries to power the latest and most infamous Popemobile[provided of course courtesy of Suburu and Mercedes Inc]

Mine is a 1993 Isuzu Rodeo [low budget choice]which unfortunately runs on gas and looks like it did go to the Rodeo and got trampled on by a herd of brahma bulls and I dont mean only the hoofprints.

Someday I hope to go green as well.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen

Holy See: Environmental Crisis is a Moral Problem
By Zenit News Agency
10/31/2007

Zenit News Agency (www.zenit.org)

Archbishop Celestino Migliore addresses the United Nations

Holy See calls for a new alliance between Man and Nature emphasizing that what is needed is a "positive vision of the human being" who is called to care for the environment. In this vision, the human being "...perfects and ennobles the environment by his or her creative activity."

NEW YORK (Zenit) - Protecting the environment means more than just defending it, says the Holy See, because protecting the environment implies an alliance with the human being.

Archbishop Celestino Migliore, permanent observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, affirmed this during an address delivered Monday to the 62nd U.N. General Assembly, on the topic of sustainable development.

He said: "Protecting the environment implies a more positive vision of the human being, in the sense that the person is not considered a nuisance or a threat to the environment, but one who holds oneself responsible for the care and management of the environment.
Why is the USA so adamantly opposed to setting standards and timetables for "going green" when Ireland went green before it was even fashionable?

Interesting thought.  Never really given much thought as to what Jesus would drive.  But I could see him in a Cadillac as well as my old beat up Dodge truck.

Maybe a Jesus Chrysler? (I make no claim to the originality of this) Michael

Loretta: It could but it's not original from me. I first heard it a year ago or so on an evening talk radio show in Charlotte. Michael

I know He would not drive a Ford, not only because Henry was anti-Catholic and anti-worker, but becaues:

Oh You`ll Never Get to Heaven

Click here for the tune

Leader = L
Audience response = A

L Oh you`ll never get to Heaven
A Oh you`ll never get to Heaven
L In an old Ford car
A IN an old Ford car
L Cos an old ford car
A Cos an old Ford car
L W`on`t get that far
A W`on`t get that far

Chorus (All)

Oh you`ll never get to Heaven in an old Ford car
Cos an old Ford car wont get that far
I aint gonna grieve my Lord no more

I aint gonna grieve my Lord (or I aint gonna grieve I aint gonna worry?
I aint gonna grieve my Lord (or I aint gonna leave this world in a hurry?
I aint gonna grieve, my Lord no more.

All the other verse follow the same format.


In a ping pong ball, cos a ping pong ball is much too small

On a Boy Scouts knee, cos a Boy Scouts knee is too wobbly

In a Girl Guides bra, cos a Girl Guides bra won`t stretch that far

If your name is Ron, cos the Lord don`t want no more Rons in

On a Jumbo jet, cos the Lord aint got no runways yet

In a biscuit tin, cos a biscuit tins got biscuits in

With a fat Girl Guide, cos the pearly gates are not that wide

On roller skates, cos you'll skate right past the pearly gates

If you get to Heaven, before I do, then dig a hole and pull me through http://julianmorgan.tripod.com/mysite/id2.html

We had other versions:

With a bottle of gin, cos the Lord wont let that darn stuff in.

With a girl on your arm, cos the Lord dont want  no feminine charm.


God bless,


NoelFitz.

Noel, Thanks for the limerick. I found this one on you tube which is convinced that Jesus would drive a Ford: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe-er9FqhYA

Y

as I said before here we often disagree, while remaining faithful to the Church.

I wrote Jesus would not drive a Ford, your post suggests he  would.

Were the songs blaspemous?

Definitel not.

Catholics should participate in the market place of ideas and share our views.

God bless,


NoelFitz.

Noel, Marketing advertisers will use any gimmick they find useful. Another current marketing phrase is that Jesus would not drive an SUV 4 wheeler because they use too much gasoline while the effort is to conserve fuel.

I'm guessing He would drive an ambulance.

 

The "green" answer is that He would obviously always use the carpool lane.

My wife just commented that He would cruise around in a 12 passenger van with his 11 buddies from the good old days.

Ford is a major contributor of funding promoting the homosexual lifestyle...ads, rallys, etc,

Remember, the Sun is always shining!

David, Not to worry, Ford is bankrupting soon. A lifestyle of immorality will not go unnoticed by the Lord. I believe that many are punished long before the final judgement in order to purify them. Many of the employees of Ford are looking for work with other car and truck manufacturers. Toyota is moving up as well as Honda.

Ray II, Your answer is correct! You win, "A NEW CAR". Come on down and meet Bob Barker.

In this day and age? I would not speculate.  But, I would say that He would use His powers to appear where He wished.

bhokuto, I was not referring to Christ appearing. I was referring to people being punished long before they are judged to Hell.In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen
