SINGAPORE —  A cosmetics line that extolled the virtues of "Looking Good for Jesus" has been pulled from stores in Singapore after a number of complaints from shoppers, according to media reports Tuesday.

Promising to "Redeem your reputation and more," the product line included a "virtuous vanilla"-flavored lip balm and a "Get Tight with Christ" hand and body cream, The Straits Times said.

Wing Tai Retail, which manages the British retailer Topshop, removed the line late last month after receiving complaints.

"These products trivialize Jesus Christ and Christianity," it quoted Nick Chui, 27, one of the complainants, as saying. "There are also sexual innuendoes in the messages and the way Jesus is portrayed in these products."

One product has packaging with the image of Jesus wearing a bright white robe as he looks toward the heavens, while a heavily made-up blonde woman with an arm draped across his shoulder gazes dreamily at his face.

"Why would anyone use religious figures to promote vanity products? It's very disrespectful and distasteful," the report quoted 24-year-old accountant Grace Ong, as saying

An unnamed Wing Tai Retail spokesman apologized to anyone who was offended.

    What?! In Singapore?!

    Goodness, I didn't know that! Then again, I seldom, if never, go shopping nowadays so I guess that's why I missed it.

    At least folks now see how alike Singapore Christianity can be with the watered-down American version that Paul Washer points to.

    On the upside, I'm heartened that people actually noticed and complained, which isn't all that bad.

    Thanks for highlighting this.

    Va'aleichem HaShalom!

    Isaiah my brother this is so terrible, I was shocked when I saw the article... imagine Christians buying it... God forbid.

    Thank God they removed it, am very happy that SINGAPORE FEARS GOD! I doubt they would have done the same in some countries where the they take the Name of the Lord in Vain.

    Thanks for the visits and comment really appreciate it.

    Stayblessed

    Got phone hotline, I will call just to rub it in, this is really bad. I have seen things before, but we still have a lot of people, a good people who will complain to take this down. I find this as a waste of money, and waste of time by the advertising agency, they should have known better. However, sometimes this may also be a trap or advertising gimmick - even if it was pulled off the market, the chain of complaints spreads around the world, and that gives them free advertising just through news media, because they know that there are some that don't care and will buy their products, its sad. It happens a lot with celebrities, they pull these tragic to be stunts just to get into media for free. Channelofhealing thanks for letting us know, and btw thanks for the nice comment on my latest post, it means a lot. Anna :)

Todd Bentley's Unholy Affair!

I know some of  you might not like /love me for this post , or might not even want to  visit my blog after this but , am addressing this Todd Bentley issue because of the fact that God has vindicated me and all those who asked this same question about Todd Bentley and His ways. Secondly to address the erroneous feeling that I in some way, am enjoying what is happening to Todd  Bentley and his Ministry.  . . far from that! In fact am  ashamed and sad that so - called Christians are busy deceiving  others and making it difficult for real Christians to do  the work of God Almighty in this day and age . . .  where the devil is pulling all the stops to make sure that Christians find things difficult in this life. The reason for  my  previous post was because I was baffled about his divorce and I wondered why a man who claimed to do  all those mighty things suddenly, wants out of his marriage to his  wife of many years . Even though as I woman of God  by the Spirit of God I felt there was

Todd Bentley, Divorcing His Wife!!!

I never knew I would write any article on Todd Bentley, because I deliberately avoided the topic while it was raging all over, even though my husband was very vocal against him and his group then, he is even telling me right now that he is not surprised about this piece of news . With this recent development in  Todd Bentley's marital life even, there are many questions that Christians need to search for the answers Spiritually and in the scriptures. . . also hold him accountable for the gospel he preached, especially if he is not living it. Enough about the people Preaching something else  and doing another, I wonder why some Spirit- filled men and women of God are not on TV? Money . . . I guess Separation May End Bentley’s Lakeland Appearances Todd Bentley , the evangelist who has led the Florida Outpouring revival here in Lakeland since April 2, has filed for separation from his wife and might not return to the revival, according to his former local spokesperson, Lynne Brei

The Miracle Of Prayer

Image
by David J. Stewart I t is disturbing to find so many people that fail to believe God answers prayer. Several top “authors” and so-called “professionals” being interviewed on TV lately, have claimed that prayer is a great therapy (as an end in itself). You never hear them mention God. It is sad that prayer has been diminished to the status of going to the park to watch the birds. Prayer is not effective because it is a good therapy. Prayer is effective because there is an omnipotent (all powerful) God up in heaven that hears and answers prayer !  I am leery of bumper sticker theology.  I see bumper stickers promoting about the "Power of Prayer," but prayer is nothing without a Powerful Divine God.  I believe in the "Power of God." Answered prayer can only happen by a miracle of God. A “Miracle” is defined in the Random House College Dictionary as “an event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a divine or s
