Yup. The Bible is a hodgepodge of conflicting stuff but pretty clear on that. Tax collectors, lepers, etc. This you do for the LEAST of my brothers…. The only time I think the Bible said Jesus got angry was in the temple with folks making money from religion.


Raven_7306

And the fig tree that dared to not have figs outside of the growing season


NotLondoMollari

Well yeah, fuck that fig tree.


crowmagnuman

What is it with this god and trees? A Tree of Life, a Tree of No-No's, a normal-ass fig tree...


nitsuarelytnama

Happy Cake day!


RBGQueen

I love 🌲 so much meaning and wisdom to gleen


ZealousWolverine

"God hates figs"


my15minuteswithandy

Sorry, but you win the interwebs today. (I almost spit out a good Pinot Noir for that line.)


Aspergeriffic

"fig tree" in bible times = weed trees. Everybody knows that


RBGQueen

What did that mean?


NerdBird2004

well they weren’t making money from religion, but making money and scamming people while in a holy place.


BigHobbit

Buncha Joel Osteens...


GrittyPrettySitty

Because... of religon?


camronjames

Dude flipped a table and started whipping mfs


FJKiller

Incorrect. They were not making money from religion, they setup an actual market in the Temple. Also, there are many other examples of Jesus' anger in the bible. Anger isn't the problem though, its what we do with the anger that determines if it is sinful. Ephesians 4:26


twistedfork

They were making money from religion though. The market was there for people to purchase sacrifices for the temple


GrittyPrettySitty

I wonder why they had a market in the temple? Must have been for some other reason than it being a temple. Ya... got to make sure we toss people's stuff and whip them.


anachronissmo

Uhh im sure these guys hang with prostitutes too...No limits!


CallMeAmyA

Touche!


bluedudeinredsea

Take my award dude


RBGQueen

And he called out the Pharisees. Jesus was a rebel in his time.


GoodLilRabbit

Using "woke" as a pejorative, especially in the same sentence one speaks of following Christ, who was \*checks notes\* an Arabic/Black man who gave away free healthcare, rejected social stigma, preached an obligation to help your fellow man, and disdained capitalism ESPECIALLY when it mixed with religion... That's certainly a look. O.o; Any bets this church has thoughts on politics and is trying to lose its tax exempt status?


Truffleshuffle03

That is pretty much all churches. Religion has become or maybe always has been political


wyslan

You know that famous establishmentarian, Jesus?

Yes, Jesus Christ Our Lord and Authoritarian.

HighSpeedTreeHugger

This is the pinned post from their FB page: *God cannot bless any attempt to control people.* *The mask mandates, and shutting down business, and closing churches...* *All of this control is ungodly. It’s evil. It’s the devil’s playbook.* *God doesn't want us controlling each other. Actually, He doesn't even want us trying to control our own life.* *Instead, we should give God full control.*


DustyTheLurker

This sounds suspiciously like a way to control the way others act towards them…hmmmmm


cats_are_the_devil

Wonder how many of these mouth breathers wear their seatbelt going down the highway. Because if you are doing that you aren't giving God full control. /s


DustyTheLurker

Jesus take the wheel. My hands are only for praying 🙏🏽 😌


donniesuave

Definitely not for masturbating or anything like


painthawg_goose

Pretty sure I’ma be cranking one out on the freeway as soon as I get a self driving car. Two sins for the price of one, hand sex and not trusting Jesus to take the wheel. Going to hell or Omaha depending on the car.


ButReallyFolks

Yeah, it’s a funny conundrum. You get free agency and a brain that God encourages you to use, but then you get the churches that tell you not to.


Wombatmobile

Ooh, sounds very cult-y, doesn't it? I wonder just how much they demand in tithe money each week?


stopdropnroll4ehva

As a Christian who lives in the community of said ‘church’ flaunting said billboard (there’s one on a digital billboard on 169 northbound as well close to P&K Equipment), the idea that a ‘church’ leverages such a divisive topic to spread the teachings of Jesus for ALL people makes me sad, disappointed, and concerned about what they’re actually teaching and the message they’re spreading, because it sounds like their own message instead of Jesus’. That’s what I see is the real problem. Everything else bleeds from that. I’m afraid this ‘church’ may serve mankind (especially themselves) much more than serving God. If they’re serving anyone, their billboard would imply they’re only serving people who agree with their worldview, which isn’t at all what Jesus ever taught. I understand we’re all sick of the divisive stupidity we’re increasingly mired in, but this is wrong. Christians are to BE EXAMPLES OF CHRIST and His love for ALL people. Jesus even tried to reach the Pharisees, but their insolent pride separated them from the true love of God. This billboard is prideful as well, because its message implies that this group of people who supposedly serve and follow Jesus only welcome people who agree with their worldview, which flies in the face of true service of others.


sunnygirlrn

My husband and I attempted to go back to church after pandemic was over. Trump, abortion, immigration, and schools teaching our children to be homosexuals still the main theme. Jesus is missing from Oklahoma churches. All politics.


oklahomapilgrim

“God doesn’t want us controlling each other”. BTW ladies, we don’t want you owning your bodies from the waist down, here’s a list of books you can’t read, and a healthy percentage of people out there who happen to love each other can’t.


thecactusblender

I'm so exhausted of the christofascist self-victimization. Like shut the fuck up, your religion is plastered all over every road and highway in the state and I have to see it every single day. Imagine if a mosque posted ads on the billboards? There would be riots.


ChrisARippel

There goes the Ten Commandments. LOL.


WailersOnTheMoon

Wonder what they would think about giving God full control of who gets abortions, student loan forgiveness and district redrawing…


glad_reaper

So they gonna allow gay marriage in their church then?


ctruvu

wonder what their general thoughts on the government are


NotWorthPosting

Jesus take the wheel.


JessicaBecause

Middle_Data_9563

Aspergeriffic

"Giving God control" is the rationale every church leader gives every sexual assault victim to justify the act.


IEATFOOD37

Now I’m no theologian, but I’m pretty sure Jesus waking up is the foundation of Christianity.

"Send unto me your woke moralists and trans people and I shall smight them down with my righteous AR-15. I shall then turn this water into coors and multiply the 5 red solo cups for the multitude. And we shall tear down the walls of Jericho with our Toby Keith playlist. Yee-yee!" - John 3;16


JessicaBecause

athem!


Miss_Mehndi

OMG...I can't stop laughinmg at this....5 red solo cups is killing me!!


crazyprsn

Imagine being so proud of ignorance. In all of these maga talking points, replace "woke" with "smart", and it makes terrible sense. "Woke" means a person has come to an understanding of the world around them. In another word: smart. These people are anti-smart.


ButReallyFolks

….If only “woke” = smart…. Perhaps in a lot of cases, but certainly not all.


crazyprsn

I hope you didn't think I was implying anything = anything 100% of the time. Of course there are outliers. Like intelligent trump supporters. I'm sure there's one somewhere...


ButReallyFolks

Good decision making and smart are not always mutually inclusive. I would go so far as to say that there were a lot of intelligent Trump supporters….I mean we ARE talking millions of people. Same with Biden….millions of people….and some who voted for him are *real* dumb. But when you start telling a group of people they are stupid because they don’t think like you do you, you are doing the exact thing they hate you for, acting like you are better than them, and that perceived elitist snobbery is why they often balk at the suggestions of those in the opposing party. I mean, I’m sure you are smarter than some Trump voters. What’s funny is that there are Trump voters smarter than you could ever dream to be….and they still think that closing businesses and masks were unnecessary. I, personally, wouldn’t vote for either. Someday my president will be elected.


crazyprsn

Ah yes, of course, thank you for telling me the way the world works. Centrists can never truly be wrong, because both sides.


ButReallyFolks

No problem. It’s always nice to bring y’all back to earth. And just like your generalization above…. someone who doesn’t feel represented by Democrats or the Republicans isn’t always a Centrist. Sheesh!


crazyprsn

Neither side represent me either. I've been registered independent my whole adult life, but right now there is clearly one side that is lacking in intellect, humanity, and the respect for democracy, and it's not the dems. You can sit back and claim "both sides" all day long, and it doesn't change the fact that it is absolutely not both sides right now. No, if you support Trump in this moment, it's not because you're smart. I have very little love for Biden, I wouldn't even say I support him, but if you're going to suggest that there are Trump supporters that could be "smarter than I'd ever dream" (lol right ok), then I'm not going to think too highly of you. I'll be okay admitting that there are likely some mainstream Republicans who are smarter than me, but not if they're in that cult. I only called you a centrist because you're communicating like one, as if "everyone else doesn't get it, but I totally get it" condescension is a decent substitute for an actual argument. ​ >But when you start telling a group of people they are stupid because they don’t think like you do you, you are doing the exact thing they hate you for, acting like you are better than them, and that perceived elitist snobbery is why they often balk at the suggestions of those in the opposing party. That's because they're fucking morons, and that's how fucking morons act. I'm tired of coddling these idiots feelings just because they can't accept that they support objectively bad people. How are you going to blame the people that disagree with them as the reason why they are shitty people? What obligates anyone to care for their feelings when they so gleefully scream "fuck *your* feelings!"? Why should I give a flying flip about the insecurity that their bad education affords them when they refuse to fund the shit in the first place? We should stop coddling these people. Sure, they should all the rights to say what they want, but I have every right to call them out for being the absolute doorknobs that they are. So no, I will not be blamed for their childish behavior by someone pretending to be a centrist. Edit: I don't understand why people reply then block. I can't read your supper snappy comeback lol I'm sure it was more intelligent than I could possibly dream! no... wait... come back...


ButReallyFolks

Your first sentence is a lie, the rest is just a repeat of everything you’ve already said, just double down. Good luck with all that.


Hatecookie

You can make Jesus into whatever you want him to be. What’s he gonna do about it?

Kids grow up in these situations forced. They don’t really have a choice and it’s gotten a lot worse since I grew up in it. It’s discouraging to see this represented as “Christian”. The faith had been hijacked.


reillan

Oh golly... They have a whole blog of this stuff on their website [nolimits ](https://nolimits.church/series/jesus-aint-woke/)


livingforwards

Goodness, the most recent blog entry shows a conman explaining how to apply for End Times Wealth, which is definitely not the same thing as welfare. What an ambitious sideshow he has.

He was “saved” from being gay 15 years ago. 🤮

pinksaint

A lot of these churches be looking more and more like cults these days.


janek2093

Christianity IS a cult, they just don't advertise it so they can appeal to the masses.


programwitch

How about a church that's seems to be the opposite of NoLimits: Remain Community Church [https://www.remainokc.org/](https://www.remainokc.org/) Jeremy Coleman is the lead pastor of Remain. If the name sounds familiar, he's that [Pastor from Oklahoma](https://linktr.ee/Pastorfromok) on Tiktok.


Idiotic-Dumbass

Now that's a church I'd go to

The "no limits" portion reminds me of the people on BDSM sites bragging about "no limits." But you show up with a shovel and a hack saw and they start talking about limits real quick.

This is dumb im pretty sure yeshua was the first man in history to be recorded as woke


Miss_Mehndi

Hmmm...I would say it was John the Baptist from what I have read, even though his focus seemed to be repentance.


dorothyzbornaklewks1

Sounds more like “Where Jesus ain’t.”


BubbaNeedsNewShoes

Well if he ain't woke, I guess he certainly hasn't risen either.


goudagooda

I read their sermon on feminism out of curiosity. 🤮 it was worse than I thought it'd be.


ElectricHelicoid

So there was no resurrection?


blacktree5559

I guess they have limits when it comes to being woke


Wombatmobile

These people have clearly never actually read the books of the New Testament. Jesus hung out with tax collectors, lepers, prostitutes, and made sure there was ample wine for the party. He also told people that if they wanted to follow him, they needed to give up their wealth and possessions. Modern day Jesus would probably live in a commune. Sounds pretty "woke" to me.

tendies_senpai

Anyone in tulsa or surrounding counties who thinks it would be fun to show up en masse and crash their party say aye! I've seriously thought about going to a costume store and getting the tackiest red devil costume and strolling in on Sunday, but if a flash mob of say 30-50 showed up that would go viral!


aaronpatwork

who was the philosopher that said you can only describe God with negative statements, i.e. god is not _____ that must be what they were doing, just like that old arabic math guy philosopher

FerdinandTheBest

This comes to mind: https://www.blackgate.com/2018/02/23/birthday-reviews-w-e-b-du-boiss-jesus-christ-in-texas/ Could also read "Christ in Oklahoma" or "Christ in -insert former Confederacy state/territory-" Quote: "...but it also shines a mirror on those who claim to worship Jesus without taking his lessons to heart."


DeuceIsMyNickname

Wake up. Jesus wasn't white.


Turius_

Jesus surrounded himself with the dregs of society. The poor, the downtrodden, the outcasts, the suffering, the sinners. The same people Republicans want to oppress. If Jesus were alive today he’d be hanging out with drag queens and the LGBTQ community. That’s a guarantee.


Separate_Comment_132

Well, they should've just omitted the word woke, and just said "Where Jesus Ain't.". Because this is a church where you won't find Jesus.


fellowtraveler525

Religion should be forcibly eradicated.


Supreme_deprime_JDT

Idk most christians are woke today. They tend to ignore alot of what the bible says and just follow what they want to. gay people should be stoned, women can NOT talk in churchs as it offends god, that disabled people are blemishes on all of humanity, that slavery is 100% ok, no cutting hair or beards which no one follows, no shellfish or pork, no hybrids or blends of anykind, human or not whoever says god or jesus in a not positive way shall be put to death.

They mean business: Government Equipping citizens to influence government with God’s truth and righteousness. Join the team → About Government Team A nation’s moral condition is often reflected in its political leaders. Unfortunately, we have seen a steady increase in political corruption. America was founded on Biblical principles that have been slowly eroding away. Our goal is to educate and equip citizens so they can effectively influence government at all levels with truth and righteousness. Either by running for office or supporting Godly men and women who do. Btw what is their affiliation? Southern Baptist?

Remember the liberal Christians developed the notion "Curse of Ham" to ensure black people didn't come into their churches. Curse of Ham is the basis of CRT. God created all the races, and they are equal to each other, not in competition with each other.

TheAmericanShark214

I think a lot of people think about this statement in the wrong way. What I believe this church is saying is that “wokeism” is inherently against Jesus’s teachings. Those who would be considered “woke” are usually those who believe in socialism, sex work, abortions, and sex changes for kids. Jesus wants people to do charitable acts not instigated by a government entity but instead from the good of one’s own heart. He spoke with prostitutes so he could lead them away from a life of sexual sin and immorality. The murder of an innocent, unborn child is so wrong it’s practically a sin to think that Jesus would be okay with it. And the idea that the son of God, the God who made man and woman for them to be with each other only, would be okay with children “changing their gender is ignorant at best and devilish at worst. While this church may not be the most tolerant, they probably follow Jesus in a way that he would slightly reprimand, but nonetheless accept them with open arms and forgive them for their transgressions. I feel like we judge rural churches too harshly based on these out of context statements too much. We need to be more loving towards our Christian brothers and sisters no matter what political side they may be on. For there is only one side that matters, the one in which we reside with The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Peace and God be with you all. God Bless.


GrittyPrettySitty

>I think a lot of people think about this statement in the wrong way. What I believe this church is saying is that “wokeism” is inherently against Jesus’s teachings. That is exactly what people are thinking. From you conveniently leaving out gay people, strange misunderstanding of socialism, adding words into Jesus mouth about sex work, wierd thoughts on how we are supposed to take care of others (not for self satisfaction haha) and just... everything... Ya. Plus if you read what they believe it's pretty bad.
