God Only (No Humans allowed)

Jason Dye, of Leftcheek fame (http://leftcheek.wordpress.com), brought a tweet from Cory Copeland to our attention on Facebook today. In the tweet Mr. Copeland let us know that the concept that people should be able to spend time with whomever they want because Jesus hung out with drunks and prostitutes is ridiculous because Jesus is God, while we aren't.

But why don't we take this a bit further.

Jesus healed the sick. Should we ignore the sick, because we aren't God?

Jesus fed the hungry. Should we not share our food, because we aren't God?

Jesus preached the Gospel. Should we remain silent, because we aren't God?

Jesus prayed. Should we refuse, because we aren't God?


If only Jesus was allowed to do what he did because he was God, why are we told to imitate God?

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God (Ephesians 5:1-2, NIV).

Maybe hanging out with people who don't look like they were shaped with a religious cookie cutter isn't such a bad thing. Maybe it's a divine thing to do.
