The commercial was for a church, more a PSA on being a good person than a product endorsement. As I recall, the commercial showed a simple stick figure cartoon with a narration along the lines of this:

Once upon a time there was a wealthy rancher who had hundreds of cattle, and next door to his ranch was a poor farmer who could barely feed his family. One day the farmer decided he'd help himself to one of the rancher's cows, but (sounds of guns being cocked and the image of shotguns pointing at the farmer) he didn't get very far.

At the trial, the rancher told the judge, "String him up, it will teach him a lesson."

That night as the rancher slept he dreamed that he died, and was standing before God awaiting judgement.

And the Lord said, "Forgive him, it will teach him a lesson."

I think the farmer was already behind the pearly gates, and he said, "Forgive him, Lord, it'll teach him a lesson".

I remember that the first punch line was actually "String 'em up. It'll teach 'em a lesson."

The ad was about God's grace and forgiveness. The last line was "Forgive 'em. It'll teach' em a lesson.

Seems like there was another line right before one of those that went something like "That ol' rancher/farmer?? could have said a lot of things, but what he did say was..."

That's all I can come up with.

It was what we now call a PSA. There were 4 small parts to it. I can't remember the first part but the second part was; Every Sunday the Rancher would pile his men into his truck and take them to church he said; "It's good for the men it'll teach 'em a lesson" . The third part was; The Rancher had a neighbor who was very poor, his family was starving. One night the neighbor jumped the fence to steal a cow to feed his family and was caught and brought before the Rancher. Now there were a lot of things the Rancher might have said but what he did say was; "String 'em up it'll teach 'em a lesson". All the time after that day the Rancher continued living his life and going to church and thinking he was a good Christian until one night he dreamed he was dead and standing before his maker. And the Lord looked down on him and said; "Forgive 'em, it'll teach him a lesson". the small line drawing cartoon was sponsored by The United Council of Churches.

I don't remember it as advertising anything. I just remember it on as a part of FOC (For Children Only) on Sunday mornings alongside Davey & Goliath to promote forgiveness rather than revenge ❣🤔

The king who sought to destroy Jesus was King?

The king who sought to destroy Jesus was King Herod, but there were 8 [eight] "Herods". They were all as bad as one another, they were all Idumeanians [that is, Edomites: they were not jews], and they all hated the jews and everything they stood for. So specifically:-King Herod the Great (37BC --> 4BC) slew children in Bethlehem [Matt 2:16-18]Herod Archelaus (4BC --> 6AD) would have killed Jesus if Joseph had returned to Bethlehem as would have been expected [Matt 2:22] since that was where his family and relatives lived. The implication is that Archelaus was waiting for Joseph to return there.Herod Antipas (4BC --> 39AD) killed John the Baptist and Jesus was silent before himAfter Jesus died they killed and persecuted His followers, but only the heads are mentioned:-Herod Agrippa killed James and imprisoned PeterHerod Agrippa II Paul was tried before himIt is safe to say that between them all 8 [eight] Herods sought to destroy Jesus Christ and Christianity.


What is the sunnah?

The sunnah is the sayings and practices/doings of prophet Muhammad; peace be upon himIt means prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sayings and practices. This should be followed by Muslims together with Quran teachings.Answer:The word "sunnah" means a way, a practice. It is like the term "method of operation".This word can apply to anyone - even God. God has "a way" of dealing with His creation.In Islamic terminology, the 'Sunnah' means the way and example of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him - PBUH). The 'Sunnah' includes things that Muhammad said and did - even down to how he wore his clothes - and things that he approved or disapproved of.The wisdom of this is that God reaveals a scripture, and the Prophet to whom He reveals it then shows his people how to live by that scripture. He is our example. For instance God, in the Qur'an, tells us to pray. Without the example of our beloved Muhammad (PBUH), we would not know how or when to pray. He showed us.Therefore, we follow the Qur'an, and the Sunnah. That is why we are called 'Sunni' Muslims. We are the majority. 85%. We are the true, orthodox Muslims. Other groups - like the Shiah - are off in left field, inventing all kinds of incorrect things and falling away from what Muhammad taught.

Ten reasons why Oliver Cromwell is a hero?

Some might doubt the need for more opining about Oliver Cromwell. To this day, he has suffered a variety of split personalities at the hands of his interpreters.In print, paint and plaster and myth he has been seen as devil incarnate, deluded fanatic, hero and man of God. That he was a perplexing character is hard to doubt. Even one of his closest comrades commented: "Cromwell will weep, howl and repent even while he doth smite you under the fifth rib." Evidence also suggests Cromwell was a man of honesty. When commissioning a portrait of himself, he told the painter: "I desire you would use all your skill to paint my picture truly like me ... warts and everything." The artist duly obliged. Reviled and revered In 1645, Cromwell's New Model Army famously destroyed the king's forces at the Battle of Naseby, then went on to put down rebellions in Wales and Scotland over the next six years. Nowhere is Cromwell's reputation more controversial than in Ireland where he was sent to put an end to almost a decade of insurrection. In September 1649, Cromwell's 12,000-strong forces stormed Drogheda, north of Dublin. HIs troops massacred nearly everyone in the garrison and the town - which Cromwell justified as the "righteous judgment of God upon these barbarous wretches". A month later Wexford suffered the same fate and both incidents, justified by the British as militarily necessary to subdue the population, still figure strongly in Irish republican history. Many also hold Cromwell responsible for the execution of Charles I in January 1649, although there were 59 signatories to the death warrant. This view is reinforced by books, paintings and prints depicting the king as a saintly martyr and Cromwell as a tyrant and regicide.In one, a contemporary portrait of Charles I after his execution, the king sports a holy expression and a livid scar where his head has been stitched back on. Despite this opposition Cromwell established his status and authority. Supported by the army, he was appointed Lord Protector in 1653. It was a remarkable achievement for a man who had had little military experience before 1642. He consistently attributed his military success to God's will. Historians point to his courage and skill, his care in training and equipping his men and to the tight discipline he imposed.Commemorative medals were struck as his popularity grew. This admiration was revived in the 18th and 19th centuries, when Cromwell "the great leader" was portrayed on coins and tankards. When he died in 1658 of malaria, England was prosperous and the seeds of a constitutional government had been sown. But he failed to establish a written constitution or leave a lasting system of government. Cromwell was given a truly regal funeral ceremony,costing around £60,000 - at a time when the average wage was one shilling a day. Back to square one But by the time of the restoration of the monarchy in 1661, Cromwell was again an object of hate. His body was exhumed, hung at Tyburn (Marble Arch) and later cast into a pit under the gallows. Another story says that the severed head, mounted on a pole, fell at the feet of a soldier one windy night. It is now supposedly buried at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge.In modern times, most writers have preferred to debate whether Cromwell, good or bad, has been the product of propaganda. Their pages have helped to make up the estimated 4,000 books written about the man. Consensus of opinion remains elusive, however. And if nearly 400 years of debate have failed to settle the issue of his reputation once and for all, it seems he is destined to forever be Britain's most controversial ruler.
