while i was cleaning my room, i came across this forever 21 bag and i noticed that it says "John 3:16" on the bottom folds...
i thought this was really odd...i looked up John 3:16 in my bible and it says QUOTE By this we have come to know love, because that one surrendered his life for us; and we are under obligation to surrender [our] souls for [our] brothers. i don't get it...why would forever 21 have this bible thing on its bags?  |

Fashion.
John 3:16 is one of the most well known Bible verses there is, and the one you have quoted is not it. Forever 21 is just being evangelical without being overtly so, in order not to divert customers who are no so fond of Christianity. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. |

What?
Someone left you a bible thingy in Forever 21 ? <nonsense> Well, that's better than people who tries to convert people by using communication that are not christian. They're mostly rude and not worth of anyone's time (not christian). </nonsense> Yes it's pretty wierd. I dont think it's a big deal. You can report that for $$. haha. i dont know .. |

No, someone didn't leave her a bible thingy. On the bottom of the Forever 21 shopping bags, it says John 3:16 referring to the bible. It was already stated several times above. And report it for money...? That makes no sense. |

Yeah, i just noticed that last week when i bought a present for a friend from there. It's like in-n-out at the bottom of their cups it says john 3:16 also.
To the guy up there, you cannot sue them for putting that, it's their company they can do w.e the hell they want just as long as it's not discriminatory. Not like they're sayinG BE CHRISTIAN OR DONT SHOP AT OUR STORE................. |

I've always noticed that too. But too bad I cant answer the question. Next time you go to that store you should ask a sales asociate to be at least 80% sure.
EDIT//Damn I was just at the store and I forgot to ask. This post has been edited by littlebit2006: Aug 14 2005, 07:19 PM |

Yes, I did notice that. That's kinda weird. But I really don't care, honestly, as long they don't proselytize at me.

QUOTE([Scr3amin][Horror] @ Aug 8 2005, 12:52 PM) Christian Desinger? [Sp??] Yeah. I agree. Like, In 'n' Out. They have like "John 3;16" or "Revelations" under ther drinks and burgers. Yeah, In 'n' Out's thing is Christian. They were even in 95.9 FM The Fish...(Christian channel.) But people shouldn't really care about that. |
