Here’s a funny spoof on a catechism adopted for the Semi-Pelagian minded. The link is below; but I also attached a PDF.

Click here to see it online.

If you are not familiar with Pelagian, it was promoted by Pelagius who believed that if God requires people to do something, then He must also inherently give them the ability to do it. The implications are that if we preach the Gospel to unbelievers, they inherently have the ability to choose Christ; in other words, there is no need for the Holy Spirit to do any work on their hearts in order for them to believe. This thinking has been popularized in Southern states with the alter calls, walking down the isle, saying the sinner’s prayer, with an emphasis on getting people to choose Christ and make a proclamation of faith.

I have a feeling that Pelagius did not write that.  Hahahah.  I love it.

33. Q: What is the Church?
A: The Church is the tiny minority of individuals living at this time who have Jesus in their hearts, and who come together once a week for a sermon, fellowship and donuts.

Um, so I have seen no donuts at church at any time… We must be doing this “church” thing wrong! smile
