"Jesus is my homeboy" T-shirts are offensive crew sign in.

I think they trivialize the great man and the great gift he gave to all human race.

Any one else?

 

[TwinCrier]

I haven't seen one of these, but I have seen numerous t-shirts that mimic pepsi or other product ads, which really irk me. It's probably copyright infringement as well. It seems dishonest more than clever.

Here. But I don't make a huge deal about it.

I dunno, where was the uproar over the silly WWJD bracelets, & how is this 'less Spiritual'?

 

[Sam Gamgee]

It's another way to say that they love God.

I have no problem with it.

 

[ruby_redeemed]

I agree with Sam, it is just a way kids like to show their love for God.
And I don't think the commericial style shirts are copy right infringements, if they were they would get fined, or sued.

Not the way I've seen the kind of people who like to wear stuff like that. Living like hell but going to heaven-type mentality with most

Are you talking about someone that is not a Christian wearing the shirt, or are you talking about a Christian who doesn't look like a Christian?

Doesn't look like a Christian? How about luke-warm. I'm not saying that wearing that shirt makes a person so, but the kind of people that do that kind of thing are generally the typical church-goer who doesn't live like a Christian when not at church.

That's not the case where I live. The kids that wear these shirts are awsome! When I was in high school I wore the shirts that have a logo on them, but are related to Christ some how. So does that me you would judge me and say I was "lukewarm"?
Clothes, hair, shoes they don't make you a Christian or not a Christian. I don't think that's fair to judge someone by what they wear. You should try talking to them and see what their personality says about them.

Understood.

You never know, though. They could be living a very Christian lifestyle, but maybe they still want to "fit in" and be liked by their peers. Isn't that what we all truly want?

I'm not talking about strangers I see on the street. I mean people I see regularly. It's not like I don't see how they act and what their personalities are. Yes, clothes are not everything, but that does not mean that they aren't anything.

What does a Christian look like?

Now wait a minnit. Suddenly being openly Christian enough to wear it on a shirt is desirable among kids & their peers? What an easy & great way for Christian kids- brave, bold ones who don't fear the likely backlash, to proclaim Christ to the pop culture they live in. If you don't like those shirts, than I just betcha you didn't like Paul's sermon at the Aereopogus when he refered to pagan poets & even quoted their works as a means of evangelizing the lost. I think it takes someone with a better than lukewarm walk to be openly Christ's follower in spite of the rabidly anti Christian climate we live in.

The real problem is how expensive those 'proclaiming Christ the cute way' shirts & hats cost

Well that's my point. You can say someone is a Christian or not, by what they look like! Especially to say they aren't a Christian becuase of the shirt they are wearing.

Those shirts here are only $10-15. They are a lot cheaper then the name brnad stuff.

Your post confuses me.

I'm advocating wearing those shirts. I'm not a against them at all.

I think that even a lukewarm walk is still a walk. I don't judge other's faith in Christ based their level of ferver or their knowledge of the Bible. In my opinion, if someone accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they are a Christian.

So, my next logical step to forming my opinion is: If a teenager who has accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior wants to show it via a t-shirt, but that same teenager also want to be "cool" with his peers, I'm all for it. I'm not concerned with the way the message is worded. It's still a good message.

It's basically another way to say "Jesus is my friend"

I'm not sure if it's right or wrong...but, I rather see that that some kids wearing "Satan is my Homeboy".

I think if we paid more attention to the bigger issues in this country and around the world as it pertains to what God would have us to do for our Fellow Man....that all of these smaller issues that everyone seems to deem important to debate over...would resolve themselves.

 

[Peke Utchoo]

I'm not positive that there is anything wrong about the shirts, but I've found that a shirt and tie sends the "I'm a Christian" message much better than a logo.

 

[lsrichey]

My daughter has one and I think it is ok. It just shows the world she is a Christian.
