I believe that many worldlings think that Jesus is also a Mr. Rogers. A weak, frail, sickly man who, just wants to be everyones friend. Of course as Paul says in Timothy. Such beleifs are the teachings of Satan himslef. I'm glad that this issue is being discussed. Because when Christ comes again. He will not be here to show everyone how wonderful they are and show us merrr, make beleive. He will come in glory and justice will be His companions. I say here, here.

Fred Rogers <em>was</em> an ordained minister! Seriously! I know--I was surprised, too. I first learned this several weeks ago when I <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Simple-Faith-Mr-Rogers-Spiritual/dp/B000HOJGRW" rel="nofollow">The Simple Faith of Mr. Rogers: Spiritual Insights from the World's Most Beloved Neighbor</a> on the shelves at my local bookstore. I guess Tom Brokaw of NBC Nightly News said of the man, "Mister Rogers was an ordained minister, but he never talked about God on his program. He didn’t need to." I guess that's because, if you're nice enough, people will automatically conclude they are wretched sinners at enmity with God and storing up wrath for themselves for the day of judgment, and that Jesus propitiated the Father by paying the penalty for our sins and accomplishing the righteousness He requires, which benefit is communicated by grace through faith to those who repent and believe. Happens all the time. ;) Ya know what makes this allusion all the more interesting? Fred Rogers was an ordained minister! Seriously! I know–I was surprised, too.
