Sin and salvation
TN I75, exit 142. 80 foot cross right next to Tennessee’s largest adult store. And it has an arcade:

And fudge. It has it all, I guess.

Is that billboard advertising fudge?

Damn, I missed the line under the photo.

Bonus, there is a rifle range not far from that exit. Going there in the morning.

Forget that. In north carolina on I40 there is a strip joint sharing a parking lot with a baptist church. They are both in nearly identical steel buildings just with different signs. I drove by one sunday and the church parking lot side was full. I drove back buy on friday and the same cars that had been in the church parking lot side were now directly in front of the strip joint. I love the irony.

My favorite example is a country (store?) in Minnesota that advertises “Guns, Liquor, Pawn”.

Almost forgot. Skinwizard tatoos: Buy, Sell or Trade. They are in abilene, texas.

In Georgia one billboard quotes Scripture, the next advertises Bed Tyme Sex Toys. Guess redemption presupposes sin.

John,
That combo you mention in #5 works synergistically. Actually the law (preaching aganist the strip joint) actually incites the sin nature present in all humans to “earnestly desire” the forbidden activity all the more according to Romans chapter 7. Then there is the religion aspect in which humans do acts of penance for teh sin to “establish their own righteousness” (Romans 10:4)

Ok, we need a bit of clarification:
Which establishment has the arcade? And which one has the fudge? Or are these additional attractions at the same exit?
However they’re distributed it does sound like it has something for pretty much every member of the family.

Just as a clarification sex itself is not inherently sinful, at least not in the Bible that I read.
It’s who you do it with, and when, that makes it sinful.

I prefer Romans 6:1 when comparing the irony of those who go to both places. Going once yes but going again and again is a nogo. That is why I never try to commit the same sin twice. There is always something different to need forgiveness for.

there is a fireworks outlet on the other side of the interstate, same exit, with a truck-stop there as well….
That is right on my way to Knoxville… driven by there a ‘few’ times and laughed about it.

It is a pilot truck stop. I have been there a few times. The truck stop that is.

I have had a few dealings, all very good, with a small gun shop on the Alkillya Hwy. Right next door is a bar, and a tattoo parlor.
