The Manhattan Transfer singing group made even more famous Tennessee Ernie Ford’s singing of Give Me Jesus on the Line. Here I have depicted a Christ the Redeemer Jesus from Rio de Janeiro (with a half face) played off against a ghostbuster and his half face. Chevron road arrow direct the lyrics to Heaven, where Jesus is continually on the line wanting to talk with you personally. When you’re in a frantic situation that demands an immediate decision on your part, ghostbusters aren’t going to give you the answers you’re looking for.

Christians have a  fantastic and immediate connection to God the Father through His Son, Jesus. There is really no need for even a cell phone. Nor any intermediate preists to speak on our behalf because we Christians have been declared “a royal priesthood” in and of ourselves.

Now, the Catholics are taught that all humans are born into the world with a certain amount of the original sin of Adam and Eve in them. This would suggest that God allows a defective product to be pro–created. And If that were the case, then mankind cannot be held totally accountable for their sins (since we’re not responsible for getting defective parts that cause our sinful living). Furthermore, how can the sin of one human being be passed to another by birth? I’m not sorry! Sin doesn’t reside in my DNA makeup–and not in yours either. (Inheriting sin’s consequences isn’t the same thing as inheriting sin itself–big difference!)

That’s not to say that I don’t admit to being a sinner. I categorically do. But my sins results purely from my succumbing to this sinful world through my own outward initiative, not because of some “demon” defect planted in me before birth–thank you very much.
