Lego apologizes -
10-16-2006, 11:20 PM
Brethren & Sistren
Christmas is approaching, and I'm sure you have all seen this famous Lego box and thought it was a marvelous gift idea:
But, you know what? After this picture has circulated on the Net for half a year, Lego has finally decided to issued a press release denying any knowledge of the product:
Image of false LEGO box circulated via e mail
An image of a false LEGO box is currently being circulated across the world via e mail. The picture of the box is computer manipulated and in the picture LEGO elements are used to depict the Prophet Mohammed in a situation of a sexual nature – with a severely offensive text.
The LEGO Group wants to stress that there is no such LEGO product, and that the company totally condemns the picture and the manner in which someone has made use of the LEGO products and brand.
That's really nice damage control, Lego. It only took you half a year.

This is very bad news. I had planned to purchase that set for each member of the LBC youth group this Christmas. I guess Lego just lost several million True Christian customers!
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

Next thing you know they will be making disclaimers about The Brick Testament.
I mean what harm could there be in quoting Scripture??
Even if they did quote from the Devils own version!
Slavery
Titus 2:9 (Godly KJV1611)
Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;

being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise!...Mark 5:41

well, you know. I was thinking about using it in class to show the little girls what would happen to them if a muslim grabbed them,
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1054/1054_01.asp
but some of the parents complained about it being graphic and racist and not tolerant!! I have to quit working in public schools!
Matthew:
5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled
10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Political correctness has gotten out of hand. The liberal MSM can attack Christianity all they like and get away with it, but let anyone tell an inconvenient truth about the mooselimbs, and people rush to see who can apologize the most. And they say that Christians aren't persecuted.
This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so. Otherwise, if what you read on this site offends you, then you're offended by Almighty God and His Word, not by us.
Questions to ask liberal "Christians" ✞ Things that the Bible doesn't say ✞ Tolerance

If fact they are working with the Danish police to track down the forgers. From another LEGO press release:
" In some cases these pictures can be hurtful, and recently a computer manipulated illustration of the prophet Mohammed using LEGO elements has appeared on the internet. We would like to express our sympathy with anyone who is hurt by this. It is not at all in our interest that people are insulted by illustrations made with LEGO bricks.
We have no information as to who is or might be behind this action. Unfortunately, we have very limited legal possibilities to prevent these people from expressing their views using our products and even our trademark. This goes for religious, political and satirical issues. We are, however, working with the Danish police in this recent specific matter."
Evidently it's going to be hard for the Danish police, now that the image is more than half a year old. I must therefore urge my True Christian™ brethren and sistren to post the faked image as many places as possible in order to assist the police.
And maybe it's best to avoid misunderstandings by pointing out that these two were not produced by the LEGO Company either:
