Appropriate or not?

[emilynghiem]

I really like this tee, and am just curious - would you wear it? Would you like it if you saw it on someone else, or do you think it's inappropriate.

Well, it looks good on this model.

If someone else wore it and it barely stretched over their body parts,
I might say "no thanks."

I actually want to make my own Christian T shirt but one group refused to print it.

Hey Chuckt
you can make your own designs
without relying on other people.
At Wal-Mart or any other craft store
you can buy blank sheets to make iron-on transfers for T-shirts.

When you design the artwork on your computer,
you just have to remember to flip the design backwards, left to right,
before printing onto these sheets so they iron-on forwards.

(And you have to test the printer ink to make sure it works with the special paper,
and follow the iron-on instructions, which are fairly easy.)
There are different types for light T-shirts or dark fabric, and some are "sticker patches"
that you can sell for people to put on anything they want to. Once you make
a prototype, you might have better luck promoting or selling your idea.

If you want some other artist to design a logo or print the transfers or T-shirts
for you, this isn't hard to find online. Etsy used to be popular for hiring graphic artists
(who generally are NOT picky but are happy to get paid work)
and zazzle.com if you want to set up your own shop and have their staff do the
actually printing work for whatever you design and post. now there's Pinterest or other sites, too.

If you need funding, there are multiple sites for that, from gofundme to youcaring.

Don't self-censor your own creativity! Find a partner or co-conspirator
and do your own thing. Lots of business ventures start with someone's
half-baked idea and take off from there. The world runs on creativity,
investing in ideas, and forming teams around them. Go for it!

Thank you.

It also means a high probability of getting banned for peaceful expression of opinions because my opinion is stepping on toes.

Banned from where?

Even you buy in to the sexualization of the message!
Quite surprising.

 

[Gracie]

I'd wear it. Over a racer back tank top paired with capri leggings.

 

[thebrucebeat]

Isn't Jesus the rock? I was under that impression. Granted, I haven't done the Bible bit for quite some time, but ...

Scripturally, Peter was the Rock.

God was the whole mountain....

Agreed.

You were a pastor? Where do you think?

No idea what's in your mind.

Chuckt do you mean "banned from a church"?

If you do this with ill, deceitful or unforgiving intent, just resolve that first before you act.
Don't surprise people or do things behind their backs, where it appears to rebel or reject them.

As long as it is done with positive intent to share original ideas, constructively and creativity, there should not be a conflict that you can't resolve in advance.

Is there any ill intent involved?
Are there any other good ideas you could develop at the same time?

 

[emilynghiem]

Scripturally, Peter was the Rock.

God was the whole mountain....

Agreed.

I thought God's truth that we could understand and contain was the mountain.

God must be even greater than that.

A mountain is finite and must be supported by something greater than itself.
Our understanding of God's truth must be built on a solid foundation.
If it is not universal in scope, then some things will be left out.

For the life of me I can't figure out who or why someone would criticize it.

I am referring strictly to what scripture contends.
Nothing more.
Your extrapolations aren't all that useful.

 

[BDBoop]

Maybe nobody. But when I was coming up, she would definitely have been judged for that ensemble.

To me, the look is fashionable. Edgy.

Christianity usually isn't described that way.

 

[BDBoop]

ChuckT, have you ever noticed how you make everything about you?

It means banned from part of the audience which buys the materials.

I wish some of these individuals I wish to reach would think like you but they don't. I've even asked some pastors and the response gets stranger than that.

The concept of adding or taking away from God's word doesn't bother them.

They have rejected a Christian model for different theological constructs or because it is "business" or it is just the way things are done which doesn't mean it is right.

I've seen Mormon books in the Christian bookstore. I alert the manager and then ask why they have to sell the Mormon book in a Christian bookstore and their answer is they have a contract to sell books from their supplier and they can't deviate from that.

The motive is not ill will. The method is to expose which is Biblical.

Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

 

[Chuckt]

ChuckT, have you ever noticed how you make everything about you?

Boop,

It isn't about me. It is about the theological errors I see.
If it was about me, I would be a programmer and possibly a software or hardware engineer.
I gave that up so things can be about Jesus.

ChuckT;

No, it isn't about you. It's about a t-shirt I found on the net. But yet again? We're talking about you. Why is that, one wonders.

Boop

 

[Gracie]

Chuck..what issue do you have with Mormon books in a Christian store? Most christian book stores carry lots of tomes that are spiritual and are about Christ. Mormons are chrisitan. Aren't they?

No, I wouldn't wear it, but it is certainly not inappropriate.
