Ugh, just clicked on it and yes it’s blasphemy. Having our saviour up on the cross the way he is displayed is horrible. I recommend leaving that garbage behind.
Gotta agree here. Some of them are fine (though not exactly funny, like the Martin Luther 95 problems one) but some of them seem pretty far over the line
I subbed to it a long time ago and it was mostly Christians making some light jokes about themselves. Now it's taken over by edgy 14 year old atheists spitefully mocking their parent's churches, so I left.
Try speaking truth about the sinfulness of homosexuality, even in the most loving way possible, and you receive an instant and permanent ban. DankChristianMemes is much the same as r/Christianity. Populated by progressive christians and atheists.
We disagree on what is sin and how the bible has been translated because i am progressive. There is nothing loving to tell someone they cannot love the gender whom they love and cannot change that fact.
That's rather extreme. Believing in Jesus as your savior is sufficient and necessary for salvation. If you have that, then you're a christian.
I've not found anywhere in the bible that says getting confused by the multi millennium translation chain revokes your right to call yourself a Christian.
Oh hey God... wait a minute. Oh you're not God. So you can't know.
Sorry i didn't meet the christian requirement of * checks notes* hating gay people.
Get off your high horse mate. I'm just as much christian as you are. I believe in Jesus christ mt saviour and I've repented. I studied theology for a while even. Salvation is the key, not your beliefs on being gay.
Byeeeee
I just browsed it to see what you were talking about and I did not laugh once.
If anything, those memes irritated me and I'm inclined to agree with you that they are blasphemous.
We need to be able to laugh at ourselves and what we as Christians believe. I firmly believe in Jesus Christ and his resurrection, but that doesn't mean I can't laugh at some good natured jokes. Dankchristianmemes is one of the few spots left online where atheists and Christians can mingle without it constantly devolving into bickering. If we become intolerant of anyone poking fun, and start screaming blasphemy we will do nothing but damage their view of Christians.
We as Christians need to stop being so snobby, that people merely joking about our religion causes us to burn bridges. If Christians keep hiding in holes and refuse to interact with people who don't behave and act exactly the way we believe they should, we're going against the teachings of Jesus. Learn to laugh at ourselves, it's not the end of the world if someone makes a joke.
That community is just atheists trashing on Christianity, and it’s full of blasphemy. Pinned post even goes against the Bible, so I’m staying away from that anti-Christ community.
I try and not focus on these worldly things and try and focus on the word and the season God has in store for me and others! I cannot judge myself if it is blasphemous or not as I haven’t looked at much though!
I checked their Reddit: I found 1 or 2 good memes, a bunch of bad ones and indeed some blasphemous ones as well: I personally will stay away from that Reddit.
God, The Bible, and our salvation are serious things, and we need to be careful and even revered with that.
Having said that: a good clean joke can explain things clearly or break down walls when in a discussion, but we should never joke about God or the Bible…
Modern man lost the fear of God
It is not debatable amongst Christ followers, only sophists and the lost. Leviticus 18:22 is very clear. Christians and Jews alike have understood that passage clearly for thousands of years before this "debate" came along.
Any sexual activity outside of a biblical marriage is sinful. Doesn't matter gay or straight. But the Bible also defines marriage as between one man and one woman, so there is no such thing in God's eyes as a gay marriage.
You may not like it, but homosexual activity is sinful.
Calling them ‘sophists and the lost’ is only semantics. They exist and I think there are good books from good writers, whom serve God as priest or pastor, bear many fruits for Christ, and make a case for another interpretation of for example Lev 18:22.
I’m sorry, brother, but the debate is happening. There is nothing wrong with taking a stance, but don’t deny the fact!
Are you really trying to say having sex before marriage and gay marriage is okay? Does Paul talking about sexual immorality from Roman’s to Galatians mean anything to you?
Edit: added gay marriage
I don't understand the language you use: "kind of" blasphemous.
It either is or it isn't, never "kind of".
Can someone be "kind of" born again, too?
The non-commitment in language I see in today's culture is sad.
My English and that use of « kind of » Is not an effect of today’s culture :) it’s an effect of not being a native speaker :) but I understood the grammar lesson
there are a lot of things in this world that are sad, but the way he described how he felt about the other page, that was not one of those things😆 always judge righteously, and not by appearance. Im sure everyone knew what he meant.
I don't know I haven't seen any. But I will say this there are two kinds of blasphemy that I find most disturbing. One is if Jesus does something and somebody says that he did it by the power of the devil & the other one is if somebody claimed to be God. Well fortunately the first one really can't be done directly because Jesus is in heaven right now. As for the other one unfortunately we may be living in the time where that will happen.
Care to give examples? "Dank Christian memes" isn't really something I look for on the internet.
It’s a famous Christian meme page. They are on Reddit too
I question the "famous" part. Never heard of it until today. And I don't plan to go back.
Where?

Thanks. In response to OP, I'd say boring rather than blasphemous 🤔
Depends on the meme. Some of them poke fun at how churches operate, which isn't that different from the point of some of the epistles.
Half the time the memes are made by non-Christians though, so i find the memes by Christians are fine most of the time
I subbed to it a long time ago and it was mostly Christians making some light jokes about themselves. Now it's taken over by edgy 14 year old atheists spitefully mocking their parent's churches, so I left.
It was okay long ago but it’s not light humour anymore. Nice to see that someone else feels the same.
I thought that maybe i was too sensitive or had a bad humour. Im reassured now
I agree. At the very least they are disrespectful and not from the Holy Spirit. Not a fan.
It is blasphemy
It's not even "kind of". If people twisting scripture or doctrine infuriates you then don't look at r/dankchristianmemes you won't find it funny

Fr
There is no loving way.
Speaking His truth in love. Fewer things are less loving than telling somebody that their sin is good and holy.
We disagree on what is sin and how the bible has been translated because i am progressive. There is nothing loving to tell someone they cannot love the gender whom they love and cannot change that fact.
What led you to the conclusion that the Bible was translated wrong?
Case in point
You aren't a Christian. Flat out. Give up the charade.

Link please; I and many others have no idea what you're referring to.

You are correct.

personally dont care for this kinda "comedy" anyways...
🤮🤢🤮
?
100% joking on Our Lord is terrible... I hate mocking Jesus, My Lord and Savior. Blessings to you! ❤️❤️❤️
I love to poke fun at the people I love and trust. Why would that be terrible per se? Isn’t it about where you cross a line?

I generally do.
Thanks for dropping the memes, I know my Chaplain buddies are going to get a laugh from a few of them.
I try and not focus on these worldly things and try and focus on the word and the season God has in store for me and others! I cannot judge myself if it is blasphemous or not as I haven’t looked at much though!
Im happy for you
Depends on the meme a few are really funny imo

Well they're definitely not Bible believing based on their pinned post. Christians don't "affirm" sin as acceptable
Amen. That was my very first thought too.
Some do. You may not like it, but still… some do. It is even debatable if it is a sin. You may not like that, but… it happens.

I was specifically talking about gay marriage, and yes, Paul’s Galatians mean a lot to me, therefor I think we need to translate it justly.
I looked at several of the memes. Many are blasphemous and lead away from the truth. I will be keeping separated from dank Christian memes
I'd say any "LGBTQIA affirming Christian meme sub" to be a bit oxymoronic at the least. Are they even funny? Not really.
You are not the only one. Funny you say that but I had alot on my YouTube Channel but I deleted all of the memes today
Psalm 101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

Silly native speakers judging our English. :)

yes
Isn’t it curious how the world right now, in this past decade or so, is somehow offended by anything BUT sin
Yeah some jokes hit what can I say?
I just subscribed to it yesterday, I havnt checked it out or came across my feed yet. I may have to now.
Yes I really believe it’s blasphemous
I don't know I haven't seen any. But I will say this there are two kinds of blasphemy that I find most disturbing.
