Or do you find this just plain wrong like I do?
It seems this site is selling car magnets with “Bush” inside the Christian icthus, a symbol dating back to the early days of the church that represented to those persecuted followers of Christ a message of hope and salvation, not American policy or leadership.
The letters, icthus, stood for JESUS CHRIST, SON OF GOD, SAVIOR. Not G.W.
That means a lot to me. I have to deal with pagans co-opting the fish for their sacrilegious pleasure and Christians slapping it on their car with little regard for how often they fail to drive with the spirit of Christ but this really galls me.
Don’t get me wrong, I love this country. I am as patriotic as the next guy. But the United States of America is not my Kingdom. I await another world.
I don’t even dislike GW. I mean, I’ve even voted for him in the past. But he is a president, not a Savior. And I don’t agree that all of his policies reflect the intent and desire of Christ.
To intimate that the US and the Kingdom of God have the identical purposes and intent is to grossly overestimate the nobility of earthly kingdoms. And it diminishes the Sovereignty and Power of God.
I could rail on but I will get off my soapbox now.
