It is amazing how many people portray Jesus with long hair, and this stupid junk is no different! Do people really not know that God said "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?" 1Cor. 11:14? God says it is shame for a man to have long hair, funny how every idol, false christ, and even breath mints say Jesus is a long haired man!

"When you want to say "HALLELUJAH" without offending the brethren....MESSIAH MINTS....(cut to Jesus)
Jesus: "These Mints are to DIE for."

I am being sarcastic, but it is a shame the mockery that these advertising and product companies are making of God. It's sad.

Speaking about our depravity...

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
-Genesis 8:21 KJV-

Come to think of it, if God had not restrained us by His mercies, if God had not revealed the loathsome sins to our heart, if God had not crush our pride and led us to repentance by His dear beloved only son...... We would jumped up into heaven, toppled Him from the throne, put ourselves on the throne and if possible, put a price tag and SELL GOD~!

Scary isn't? I can only sing praises unto Him who saved me from my wretched sins.

Similar to "Testa-mints" (sp) sold in some stores around here.

"Save Your Breath"? Where I come from that's just slightly more polite than telling someone to shut up.

Matthew,

I think the depictions of Jesus with long hair stem from people confusing Nazarene and nazarite. Nazarites were those who took an ascetic vow which included not cutting hair (like samson). Once this was captured in artists rendition's it stuck, although it is most likely that Jesus had short hair, which was customary for the era.

They ought to put a tin of these in the backs of pews. It's always a good idea to sweeten your breath, especially after those communion wafers. Know what I'm saying? And, what's with that look on Jesus face?

That's the poor, sad, modern, puppy-dog-eyed Jesus knocking on the door of your heart, begging you to accept mints into your stomach, because if you do, your life will be truly fulfilled (not that there's anything wrong with not accepting mints as your personal candy and refresher, as there are many other ways for your stomach to reach true fulfillment without mints, it's just that poor sad Jesus would really prefer it if you took a mint, and you wouldn't want to hurt his feelings, now would you?).

CE7,

"Accepting mints as your personal candy". LOL!!You're too funny! You really made my day! (I hope this comment didn't post twice. Sorry if it did).

I saw a report on my local news station about Jesus junk, including some similar mints. The problem that I see is this: how hard is it for nonbelievers to take us seriously when they see the oddball things for sale in the name of christianity? Can you imagine me giving my testimony, telling my unbelieving friend that he needs Jesus to cleanse him from his sins, kinda like this breath mint cleanses my breath? All the while, my Jesus bobblehead doll is nodding his agreement? Is this stuff really supposed to help us to witness?
