“Leave a little room for the Holy Ghost” 😂😂😂😂

[@saint6563]

Old Skoll!! Holy Ghost was changed to the Holy Spirit, to not scare kids, back in the 60's. Cause changing the Word of God is no biggie! hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha

@@joeydoherty368 Do you have a comprehension problem? When was it stated it wasn't? Clearly, for those at are able to read & understand English, only pointed how it was changed. Never the ghost & the spirit weren't the same. Maybe you can get someone to explain this to you, your Mommy maybe?

"... Read the regular playbook too..."😂😂

[@saveourrivers]

Satire always works better when it's close to the truth. Indeed, Tebow would have been more successful if he had spent more time practicing and yes, studying the playbook.

[@ParodyKnaveBob]

@@saveourrivers I don't follow sports at all, but I'll say "definitely!" to both you and @vmt88 in that there's even a straight-up Biblical Proverb (21.31) saying, "The horse [is] prepared against the day of battle: but safety [is] of the LORD." Trust in Him? Sure, of course. _You still need to do your own work, though,_ yeesh. (Not that some trivial sport needs God's intervention, obviously, as is the hilariously driven-home point of this satire. 👍)

[@reign.of.giselle]

I love how jason has played both jesus & the devil. and I can't choose which performance was better.
