Jesus is My Homeboy Sweatshirt and Ladies Thong?
Those folks at JesusIsMyHomie.com are offering some of the most irreverent merchandise that we've seen (and we've practically seen it all). Below is their Jesus is my Homeboy hooded sweatshirt. But the product that takes the prize is their Ladies Thong. Click Here to see it.

YOU ARE KIDDING ME!!!!
People we are at war! Where are God's people? Are you in the trenches sharing the True Gospel of Jesus Christ. We must rise up and fight this stuff by boldly proclaiming Christ Crucified for Sinners and calling people to repentance, starting with the wolfish pastors who have taken control of our pulpits.

This is blasphemy; "You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in Heaven above..." - Ex 20:4. I can't believe how disgraceful so-called Christians have treated our L-rd Yeshua, who is the image of the invisible the L-rd G-d. Yeshua is not my homeboy; He is my Savior. I will pray for all of those who have forsaken the message of Salvation for novelty.

Unbelievable!!! So much for being reverent of our Lord and Savior. Then again...that went out the window a long time ago.

You guys are over reacting. This shirt isn't about Jesus Christ. It's about Jesus (Hay SUS) the homey down on La Cienega. You just didn't recognize him because he doesn't have his Raiders jacket on.

I wouldn't even want to be friends with the person who'd wear that.

Well, here's what I posted on their "Contact Us" form on their website.

I was wondering if the thongs are appropriate for "christian" strippers to wear. Seems like a good fit - no pun intended.
No better place for some good witness-wear, right?

To be fair, I think that cafepress just gives you a default assorment of items on which people can order your logo. I wonder how much control they have over which specific items are available?
Oh wait... I just looked at the description
http://www.cafepress.com/jesusismyhomie.22540418
"Hey, Christians need underware too! Jesus is my Home Boy originally designed thongs. Check out our entire line of cool Christian clothing!"
Uh... a thong is underwear? ergh... I can't imagine a GOOD PRACTICAL reason to wear one. And Christians don't need underwear with gospel messages on them. If you're in the position of witnessing to someone who can see your underwear you're WAYYYY TOO CLOSE!

And we wonder why the dollar is crashing!! People seem to think they can treat God anyway they want & he won't judge them.
Also just what unsaved person is going to be seeing the "witnessing" person's undies????? Oh yeah I forgot - all the sex "churches"

Jesus is not a homeboy. He is King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Master, and Savior.
This all started years ago when people started calling God Daddy because of a bogus interpretation of the word Abba.
Abba means Dearest Father and does have a connotation of daddy, but it's never used apart from Father.

Andrew where are you from?? :P cause in my country [Dominican Republic] there are lots of men called Jesus (Haysus) or their last name is "de Jesus" and there is actually a neihgbourhood called La Cienaga, those are the only reason why i found what you said hilarious...with that aside...yes these tshirts, hoodies, underwears, etc are of very bad taste...

Wow! Jesus' own disciples reverently called him Lord, Savior, and Master. And they were face to face with him! They ate with him, camped with him, and ministered along side him. Today, we who have not seen him face to face, call him buddy, pal, big bro, homey, and the irreverent list goes on.
I would imagine that when we do see him face to face, it will be all we can do to stand in awe in his presence!
