Pastor Eric Dammann has an inspirational story about the time he punched a smart-aleck kid right in the chest, bringing him to the Lord. You know, like when Jesus said, "Let your left hand not know what your right hook is doing." In an excerpt from a recent sermon at the Bible Baptist Church in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, Dammann told the story of his encounter with "Ben," a young man at a church where Dammann served as youth pastor for a number of years (RawStory has this happening in "Calgary" up in Canada-land, but our guess is that it's
Note: before punching Jebus into a smart-alec, judge first if said smartypants is bigger/smaller than you. It makes a difference inyour approach, just sayin'.
I look forward to "Ben" coming forward to talk to the media. I'm wondering if the concept of "treat others as you you would have them treat you", and all those other Jeebus lessons, got punched into him, or if maybe he detected a wee bit of hypocrisy in Rev. Damnation.
Because I accidentally walked into a coffee shop with Faux on the teevees this morning, my IQ may not be what it was, but I'm Dammanned if I can figure out how punching a kid leads him to Jeebus.
Thats some of that Earnie Angely shit right there I seen that old fool crack a poor kid upside the head to heal him from being deaf, yelled heal and busted the kids ear drum for good
In 10 years of Catholic school (late 50s to late 60s) I never saw anyone get a smack for being insufficiently reverential during Mass. (A stern lecture afterward was the usual consequence.)

If you preach &#039;Muscular Christianity&#039; it seems a waste not to use your muscles.

And five is right out, as anyone who&#039;s tried it could tell you.
I&#039;m sorry you had to do that. That&#039;s not how it&#039;s supposed to be.
