there was a convention of clergy from all religions
during a break some catholic priests,some lutheran ministers, and some jewish rabbis were sitting at a table discussing the various ways the weekly donations were divided.
first the catholics spoke and they said that they drew a picture of a large cross on a table , they then took the offering and threw it in the air over the table and all the money that fell inside the cross they gave to God the rest they kept
the lutherans were next and they said hat they did something similar. only they used a triangle to represent the holy trinity. they threw the money into the air and all that fell inside the triangle went to God .the rest they took
the rabbis turn came and they said that their method was sort of similar what they did was , they took the offering and threw it in the air and all that God wanted he took ,all the rest was theirs. told to me by a rabbi

When you are driving down the road and you see a Cross does it remind you of Jesus? When you see three crosses on a hill does that remind you of Jesus and the two thieves? If it does don't you think God might be trying to tell you something. In Hebrews 10:16, Jesus said he wrote his laws in our hearts and minds. Its in our instincts to believe, but our own selfishness keeps us from giving in and accepting Christ as our Saviour, even though Heaven or Hell is in the balance. Our sins keep us from Heaven.Jesus washed them all away, now all we have to do is believe, Do you believe in Jesus? Have you ever prayed to Jesus asking him to forgive you of all your sins? You can right now, Right now you can accept Christ as your personal Saviour and become a Born Again Christian. Jesus is waiting, If you are ready and believe just pray this sinners prayer of faith, just pray Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

Not bad - except that Jews don't take up a collection; we don't handle money on the Sabbath.
