Red Bull Pulls Ad With Jesus Using His Own Name in Vain & Faking Biblical Walk on Water

Red Bull, the popular maker of energy drinks, is dropping an advertisement the company created in South Africa after Christians voiced outrage at its portrayal of Jesus Christ. The television spot depicts the Biblical story of Jesus walking on water — but with a few twists and turns.
Rather than using his divine power, the cartoon version of Christ steps out of a boat and can be seen standing on water, using rocks to prop himself up. This, of course, differs greatly from the Bible’s recap of what happened between Jesus and his disciples on the water (the actual story is in Matthew 14:22-33, Mark 6:45-52 and John 6:16-21).
“This is boring. We won’t catch anything today. I’m going home,” Jesus says, stepping out of a fishing boat and onto the water.
“Jesus, stop. How on earth are you doing that,” one of the disciples asks. “You’re walking on water!”
The other disciple steps in, saying, “I think he’s had a Red Bull. You know it gives him wings!”
Then, Jesus responds by saying that Red Bull has nothing to do with his purported walking on water and the first disciple responds, saying, “What, not another of your miracles!”
“It’s not a miracle. You just have to know where the stepping stones are!,” Christ replies.
The clip goes on to show Jesus skipping on the stones to keep himself above water — literally. The most controversial portion of the clip, though, is when Jesus uses his own name in vain — a factor some media outlets, including the Associated Press, failed to mention.
Following outrage from South Africa’s Roman Catholic bishops, who have been urging Christians not to drink Red Bull as they fast for Lent, the company has apologized.
“It is never our intention to hurt anyone’s feelings,” a statement reads.

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 12:39pmActually, I think if this ads offends you, you are really blowing things out of proportion. Humor is humor, and not everyone will find it funny. You are well in your rights to stop buying Red Bull. However, did you laugh at the comical references of Muslim in magazines? Should all forms of comedy be stricken do to an offense. Honestly, you are going to offend some one. What you are calling for is a form of PC just for your particular group. This will lead to laws that will limit free speech, not do to the offense but to avoid a reaction. What America is about is tolerance of all views, even the offensive.
You are still in your rights to not support Red Bull, which is the reason they pulled the ad. I personally don’t care. It could be Moses parting the sea or a character of Mohammad. All I say is, make sure you a standing on the right side of free speech (regardless of the message being given).

This subject matter (Jesus and walking on water) could have been handed in a FUNNY and REVERANT way, but it wasn’t.

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 1:11pmThere is another group of people who find it totally abhorrent to make comedy about their religion. And I’m pretty sure that none of you care if there is a muslim cartoon. Did any of you care when SouthPark showed a cartoon with Mohammed in a mascot’s costume? I didn’t. And I don’t care about this ad. In fact, I find it pretty funny. But then again, I’m not a crazed religious zealot hoping for some battle between the forces of good and evil on earth to bring an end to life as we know it and begin a state of heavenly euphoria for the righteous. Yeah, you all getting mad over this commercial are nearly on the same level as the Muslims who threatened the SouthPark creators with death.

On the contrary, getting mad and NOT BUYING Red Bull is NOT “nearly the same” as Muslims taking to the streets, shooting and killing Americans, burning flags, chanting “death to America, death to Israel”, or threatening to murder the people who make cartoons.
I would say there is a noticeably VAST difference between Christians and Muslims. For example, the other day Muslims burned an Obama doll and a cross. Did Christians rise up and kill people because a cross was burned? In fact, did anyone even make so much as a complaint? Not that I heard of.

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 5:41pmSigh… Most of you are a hopeless cause. You need to lighten up on this stuff. You are taking the ad TOO serious. Claiming it is an attack on Christianity. Not every joke is an attack. You have to be extremely careful on this.
Are you all stating that regardless of religion, that no jokes can be made? What is making a reverently joke? What are the limits? What about when you crack jokes on science? Can the Atheists jump up and be offended as you are irreverent to their “religion”? You are setting up standards that can be used against you.
You need to learn tolerance of opposing views. I am not saying that Red Bull is correct, nor that Atheists are… Just that freedom of speech protects ALL speech. The joke is not really that funny in the ad, but getting your panties in a wad about the attack on Christianity is doing nothing but showing your two sided nature. The progressive will use it against you.
I am Jewish, how many Jewish jokes you know? I know tons, many I have heard are from Jewish people. Humor is a gift from God, even upon those whom blaspheme his righteousness:
Psalm 37:13
But the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming.
If God laughs at them, then you should too. Do not care the same wickedness that you claim they have for you. Laugh at them for their short sightedness and pray that they find wisdom. If God does not take them serious, why should you?

Really? What of all the people that work for Red Bull? Did they may the commercial? They may lose their jobs because some marketing company, maybe not even Red Bull, made the commercial. Does the guy delivering believe in the commercial’s message? Did he decide to make the Commercial?
Going out in a street and shouting, versus destroying peoples lives in a economic climate like this where jobs are hard to come by. You have the right to do what you like… It is freedom, but NEVER compare another group’s response to yourself lest you accept fair judgement in return. Are you seriously that narrow minded to think the only thoughts that matter are Christian ones? Besides, the company apologized. I thought Jesus said turn the other cheek. You need to be the bigger person if you want people to take you serious.

To me, there is no difference. I prefer Rush, because he speaks the Truth, while Maher is blindly pushing a Communist agenda. Though I will never attempt to silence either Maher or Rush. I, fortunately, like the existence of duality. Without it, their is no freedom, there is only servitude. The same is true in religion. We are never forced to love or accept God… We choose to love God. However, God loves us despite our sinning. That is the moral of the Prodigal Son… The father never lost love for his son… And ewe as children should love each other despite some may go astray. God’s great law is love thy neighbor as thyself. Even should your neighbor smite you upon the cheek. Christians are to lead by example.

Please keep in mind the local US offices may not have signed off on the advertisement. This was a South African ad. This may have been the choice of a local headquarters in Africa. Much like bottling companies are given the rights to manufacture coke related products in other countries. It was most likely not even a New York advertising firm, but a South African one.

To your points:
1. Free speech protects all speech. Correct, but it also means that the speaker must take upon himself the full responsibility and consequences of his words. For example, an actress by the name of Roseanne Barr could dress up like Hitler and put people shaped cookies in an oven. That’s protected speech in America. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2009/07/30/roseanne-barr-dressed-hitler-bakes-burnt-jew-cookies
BUT IT DOES NOT mean that I must watch shows or support Roseanne Barr (as you imply), because she may employ other people who were not being offensive.

2. God has a sense of humor. I totally agree! And I’m not against people making jokes. Humor is very helpful, especially when we are poking fun at each other. God does indeed laugh, because He sees the stupidity and arrogance of the wicked, and knows what their end will be. God, however, is not laughing “with” them. He’s scoffing AT them. See Psalm 2, and Psalm 59:8
The sheer absurdity of what has been going on in America for the last 60 + years is now being ramped-up on every side. Christianity has been so villified by the media and by entertainment… and now by our own government… I think what you’re seeing is that Christians are finally just fed up with it. Like Rocky in the boxing ring, we’ve taken all the abuse that could be dished out. That game is about to change.
No one is argiung for making blasphemy illegal. My point is that I don’t have to PAY FOR blasphemy with my hard-earned dollar. To argue that I OUGHT to pay for it, out of a sense of obligation to the economy is utter nonsense. It’s akin to saying I ought to also subscribe to pornography, because “just think of all the people who make the cameras, the film, the lights, the makeup, and the paper its printed on”. It’s an empty argument.

There was a reason the Inquisition targeted the Jews and the Catholic Church regularly held book burnings of the Talmud. It contradicted much of the Catholic Bible. Various Popes went on personal crusades to have the book stricken from the records of history. I am not telling you this to push your faith one way or another, but to show you that faith is an individual thing. You think you are correct, Muslims think they are… Both tell jokes of each other.

Like the churches that demand tithing to help the poor, but they sit on the lion’s share. If Christians only actually practiced what the book said, maybe the world would be a better place. Your actions are doing nothing but to perpetuate the divisions. Regardless how you justify them. Teach wisdom through love, not rallying like minded individuals in a assembly of hate. If more charity was given, maybe less dependency would be needed by the government. If tolerance was expressed, it would show the fallacy of the opposition.
This is a commercial. I see no where in it that states all Christians must die. It is your delusions of such. It was a joke, pure and simply. One you do not find funny, that is granted.

Also, no one pushed me away from my faith. My faith is my own. I was born and raised in the Catholic faith by force, not choice. If anything, the Church taught me to question and seek truth. I helped me find my faith, which happens to not be yours.
Also, Faith does not come from God, it comes from the person seeking. If God gave faith, we would all have it. Faith is found through living and learning. In believing the words. No one gives it to you.

question: If faith “comes to us. From whom does it come? If faith is authored by Jesus, how can it “comes from the person seeking”, as you suggest? If I “recieve” faith, from whom did I recieve it? Healing can be recieved by a faith that comes to a person “through” Jesus… where did it originate?
You wrote: “If God gave faith, we would all have it.“ To which I would say ”not necessarily so.” Based on those verses, a person must (1) hear the Gospel, (2) recieve faith through Christ, (3) relenquish the “pen” of my life to the Author of faith, and let Him write the story of my life. I would also add in here other important factors such as repentance of sin, confession of belief, etc.
Interesting topic, however. Perhaps not best suited for this thread, but very interesting. If you care to reply I’m interested in your thoughts. Farewell.

No, they do not need to hear the Gospel, that is just what your faith dictates. Are you saying that a Jew does not have faith? A Muslim? A Atheist?
They all have faith. You are misinterpreting the word. You are putting the chicken before the egg.
Romans 10:17 Hearing the message inspires faith. It is not created by it. You can have faith in your fellow man too. Faith is the foundation that is built on the acceptance of the word. I have heard the word, But it did not bring faith in me. It inspired me to look deeper and establish my faith.
Hebrews 12:2 Jesus perfects our faith, but we must place it in him. It is our gift.
Acts 3:16 Again the faith that comes through him is the faith given by his believers.
You need to really study Judaism. There is only one God. All this stuff we ague is facets of the one. It is not a person. It is a force. A power of creations that is in all things. God is everything and all. That is why It (for lack of a better) word is all powerful. Preaching me your “Word” will not create faith in me, but it is what I must do to make you understand. Your words mean nothing to me in actuality. I do not accept the false Bible of Christianity as written by mean and deleted from in time. The word is never to be deleted lest it be blasphemy.

However, to preach to me is to fall on deaf ears, as I will not accept Jesus until I witness with my own eyes.
The Bible has been poisoned and the word corrupt. Which is what leads many Christians to misinterpret it. The claim God as a physical being, but it is anything but. They Claim that Lucifer chose to defy God, but the Bible states only man has that ability. They claim God is God, but God is represented showing dualities throughout the Torah. It has been redefined time and time again to control man. To exert power over, that is why Constantine had it made in a format he wanted.
See I support you in your faith, so long as you preach the ins and outs of the message, which is that of love and peace. I embrace a Muslim that comes to me and expresses the message of love and peace. It is about tolerance.
All I hear from you is Jesus is the only… I bet you even believe I will go to Hell. You know that their is no reference to Hell in the Torah? It was a misinterpretation of a physical place named Gehenna, a region outside the walls of Jerusalem. Where practitioners of Moloch would sacrifice their children. It was a forbidden place for Jews to go. But they lived in peace with them.

Question: If God made the universe, and everything comes from Him. Where does faith come from again?
“Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill. In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.” (from Acts 17)
In other words, there was a time when mankind sought God in ignorance (this answers the question about God’s justice with those who have not heard the Law & Prophets through the Jews, or later on the Gospel through those who believe in Jesus). But it is made clear that once people hear about the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus – they are now accountable for the truth. And Jesus himself will act as the Judge.

I can not claim to something that I did not witness. Nor can I claim I know from a book that simply has it written in it. Especially when the Churches preach about God is Good, which in essence limits what is God. God is all things. Faith was not made by God. It is Man who introduced sin into the world, not God. This separated us from God and generated the need for faith in the Unknown. It was our removal of from the “symbolic” Garden that birthed the need for faith. Prior to this, man was in God’s presence and faith was not needed.
Faith is not born of God, but man placing trust in external things of which he is separated from. God makes up these things because cause God is the force that binds all thing into existence. However, the tangible is mostly brought into being with human hands, which are corrupt from our own ignorance. We are responsible for setting the world into chaos, not God. It is our doing from eating the “apple” which is a metaphor for the evolution of man into animal. There was no real Garden of Eden, no Noah (who is actually Gilgamesh), no Adam (that is the Sumerian King Alulim.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumerian_King_List
Note the “history” of Sumeria shows the kings lives diminished in years the further they progress from the first. Much like the lifespan of the descendants of Adam. The Torah is a retelling of the history of Sumeria and Babylon. The region of the Jewish peoples heritage.

Posted on March 15, 2012 at 6:03pmWhen you study the Torah, you see that there are other “gods”. God even claims to Moses that he will make a Mockery of the Pharaoh and his gods. What is God, is not the YHVH of the Torah. It is a facet. A human extension of the force which is, All deities are man made, even Jesus (as man has corrupted the Bible). The message is the importance of it all. Not the Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim… That is different breeds of ants. And like ants, we war amongst each other for no reason but earthly matters. What is God is beyond all this. It is man who is the devil. Ha-Satan, the word from which the name Satan is derived from is the temptation within man. It is the adversary, some claim the name Lucifer. However, the reference to the Day Star was a statement to the King of Babylon. It is the title of the Babylonian Royalty. The reference to the “Garden” is not that of Eden in literal sense, but a metaphor to the Gardens of Paradise (The Hanging Gardens of Babylon).
Religion is the pillar in which man usurp domination on other men. However, the underlying message ids the important part. We are all of God’s creation. We are all equal according to design. It is our internal barriers that divide and force us to fight each other. Jew, Christian, Muslim… Does it matter what anyone of is or claims to be? What matter is how we treat each other, with love, patience and understanding.

Now read the Jewish translation of the Torah:
http://www.exodus-314.com/part-i/exodus-314-in-judaism/exodus-314-in-contemporary-interpretation.html
you are personalizing God, which sets limitations. God is not a physical thing… Ask any Rabbi. This has been the corner stone of Judaism for thousands of years.
For example, you use the term him… God has a female and male name in the Torah (the first five books of the bible). Why are you only claiming the male signifier… What you claim is blasphemy… You need to really study the roots. It is often described in a male connotation in the Christian bible due to the fact that males where considered superior. However, God is not a physical thing. If it was physical, it has limits. In the link below, you will see that God is something without limits
http://www.jewfaq.org/g-d.htm
“G-d is Neither Male nor Female
This follows directly from the fact that G-d has no physical form. As one rabbi explained it to me, G-d has no body, no genitalia, therefore the very idea that G-d is male or female is patently absurd. We refer to G-d using masculine terms simply for convenience’s sake, because Hebrew has no neutral gender; G-d is no more male than a table is.”

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 11:28amCompanies and advertisers take note. Christians are TIRED of you disparaging Christ. We won’t kill you as the Muslims will but we will stop buying your product, or seeing you movie or watching your T.V. show.

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 11:24amAnother case of religion being attacked, now mind you if this had involved any other figure than that of Lord Jesus there would have been riots in the streets against Red Bull…Obama must have been laughing his head off at this assault on Christianity.

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 11:21amoh for Pete. of course it WAS their intention to get that little insult out at Christians and Catholics. they thought it would be cool to get THEIR own little anti-Christian communist insult in.. heck with decent customers, it will help them get the comunist degenerate customers instead. why don’t they draw an ad with prophet mohammed molesting infant girl wives.
RED BULL just lost the Americans in this family that drank it. no need to patronize a company that pulls stunts like that.

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 11:20amWhat ever happened to common sense and propriety ? Seems like we need to add a course in manners as well as civics to our kids’ school lessons. Talk about bad taste. Who approved of this ad ?

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 12:02pmDo not kid youself, this has been a long time in the making,. People stopped taking church seriously when laws started being passed that said sin was legal and then promoted it. They said they could pass any law contrary to God’s will and it was ok, and slowly it eroded people from taking a stand to sliding just a little bit, not going to church, accpeting the “new” laws of legalising prostitution in Nevada, and handing Indians the “right” to have casinos everywhere, more R rated and X rated intertainment in our homes via cable, and now it’s open season on religion. Even worse, we let the camel in the tent of progressives teaching our children, indoctrinating them, the the good people who want to live God’s laws are the “bad” people. Is anyone suprised to see an add that sounds like it was written with the new ant-religion atheists in mind? We are in so much trouble, “we have met the enemy, and he is us” Pogo said it a long time ago-he was prophetic.

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 12:11pmWho approved this ad? Someone with a sense of humor. The only reason they don’t use Jesus for M&M ads is because the candies keep on falling through the holes in his hands.

Posted on March 16, 2012 at 7:28pmExactly! That couldn’t possibly happen or there would be HE** to pay all over the world! I never liked Red Bull, and their advertising with my Lord in any light other than a spiritual, is not to be mocked!
