Paul's Passing Thoughts

Perry: Thanks for seeing me today pastor.

Pastor: No problem Perry, what can I do for you?

Perry: Um, uh, it’s about something you said in Sunday’s sermon.

Pastor: What did I say Perry?

Perry: Uh, I got the tape so that I could write it down, you said: “I was born in sin. In sin, my mother conceived me. I have broken every law of GOD and I deserve the full extent of His just wrath against me.”

Pastor: That’s absolutely correct Perry, so what’s your question?

Perry: So, since you presently still deserve the full wrath of God, do you still break God’s law on every wise?

Pastor: Absolutely Perry.

Perry: Then I must insist that you go into counseling and resign as pastor.

Pastor: Excuse me? Why do you say that?

Perry: Well, pastor, I am sure you agree that having sex with animals is behavior unbecoming of a pastor!

Pastor: Whaooooooo, Perry, I have never had sex with an animal!

Perry: But you said…

Pastor: Perry, Perry, Perry, we are just saying that the spirit of the law is much deeper than outward conformity. We all break every law of God in our hearts, or what we call the “spirit of the law.”

Perry: Sooooo, you are saying that you fantasize about having sex with animals?

Pastor: Absolutely not!

Perry: So, when did you overcome that fantasy?

Pastor: I never had it!

Perry: So why do you deserve God’s wrath for it?

Pastor: Perry, you take things too literally.

Perry: Whew! Thank you pastor, I assume what you have said here would also apply to pedophilia as well?

Pastor: Perry, you are beginning to annoy me.

Perry: Gee pastor, you seem defensive, are you in fact better than those who practice bestiality and abuse children?

Pastor: No Perry, that’s not what I am saying.

Perry: Then why do you deserve the same wrath that they deserve?

Pastor: Perry, we are done here, you just don’t understand.
