natan4jesus... everyone needs to see this!

sermonindex Sep 6, 2010

Hey everyone... our brother Neil (otherwise known as Natan4Jesus) has an alternative personality that only a few of us know about. He has not let this little secret out because he, in my opinion, is a very modest person.

However he shared these videos with me, and I begged him to let me post these... and he finally relented. I told him that you all would get a good laugh from these videos because I sure did.

This is Neil starring as "Florus Workman" on the short lived Jeff Foxworthy Show... and Neil steals every single scene! This stuff is FUNNY. (keep in mind this was a couple years before Neil got saved. Nothing dirty... don't worry)

Ladies and gentlemen... I present to you my brother-in-Christ... Neil aka Natan4Jesus aka Florus Workman!! Enjoy...

He's a talented guy! Thanks for sharing these ...

So .. um .. since he's come from being a regular on the Foxworthy show to being a regular (and much appreciated) on SI, is that a good example of going "from the ridiculous to the sublime"? :-)

Let's just say British humour is spelt differently and understood differently from American humor.

Enid... the British have a sense of humor?? :-)

By the way, Foxworthy is just a small part of the acting career that Neil had back in the day. He was in numerous movies and also wrote and starred in one of Chicago theater's most popular plays of all time about former mayor Daily.

I think it's really cool that Neil has hung out here for years letting us get to know "Neil" to brother in Christ... before telling some of us about his alter-personality. He is anything but a celebrity. He's just Neil. The same guy I spent a lot of time arguing with on here... and learning to love like a brother.

Sorry Neil to let the cat out of the bag... but it's about time! :-)

Yes Krispy,

The British do have a sense of humour.

It's just on the other side of the road.

God bless.

I don't know if I'd go as far as to say that the show really represents American humor as a whole, but yeah, it is different than a fair majority of British humor (which I love, by the way).

Ahh, hmmm, shooting the ammo box??! OOoohhhhh....

Well, Enid, there is a great variety in American humor...It is the American rural humor as was popularized by Jerry Clower that I understand the best because I grew up in rural America. EDITED out a sentence...figured it may not have been edifying...

Still, the best humor occurs when one can laugh as life happens. The unpredictable, the annoying - instead of getting all tied up in a wad, just laugh! You can fix whatever went wrong...

My kids loved the advice he gave Jeff concerning how NOT to kill the Turkey...

Neil is a hoot in these videos.

I love Neil as a brother in the Lord and I haven't spent that much time arguing with him and I watched it too. I didn't really laugh until the deer hunting scene when Florus said (so believeably), "You can see me?" LOL

It is still excellent, if we all show up at the same Revival Conference, now we will all know who Neil is!! (And we can yell, "Florus!" at him!!)

God bless you Neil!!

PS: I love a lot of British humor! LOL

Florus got robbed in the diving event. Foxworthy didn't even keep good diving form!

"Mother nature is at our doostep. Beautiful woodland creatures surround us...so let's get out there and blow their heads off!"

"Florus, you don't shoot the lock off an ammo box! My uncle Stumpy learned that the hard way!"

sermonindex Sep 7, 2010

you got me!

btw, i, personally thought, that baring ownership of some blot cutters, shooting the lock off was the best option. did that episode, the hunting episode, all the interiors with a 103 fever, and i wasnt following Jesus yet, but i DO remember praying to God for help in getting thru that show, and He got me thru.

i shall now receed........

"the virgin Mary dropped her cigarette in the straw and all hell broke loose" ... alcoholism ... gambling ... "damn" every now and then ...

FUNNY?????

Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Pro 14:9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

If we can ignore sin as if it is no big deal ... SIN that put Jesus on the cross ...

PLEASE!!!

2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Lordoitagain,

You are right. We should not mock at sin. We are to examine ourselves in the light of scripture.

And not only did sin put Jesus on the cross, it is certain that we face eternity in hell for loving sin. Which is why it tells us in Romans 13v14, 'Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts'.

But I don't think this thread was started to mock sin.

Rather, I suppose and guess, to show how God can change a life, no matter what they were before salvation.

Maybe it offended you more than me, because with you being American, you can understand the humour more than I can.

But, I didn't hear the phrases you are referring to in the video I watched. I only watched one video.

But we don't want to be accused of blaspheme, or of taking the Lord's name in vain.

Moreover, I'm worried that we might have grieved God.

And for me, that matters the most.

God bless.

The original response I wrote here concerning dismissing sin kinda missed the point, so I will re-write it.

I posted this because I am proud of Neil. He walked away from a lot when God called him out. He is a talented actor and starred in a lot of movies, etc... and gave his life to the Lord.

This was not posted to "wink" at sin, or whatever it was that you accused me of. If you think that, then shame on you. Thats just an ignorant statement on your part. The fact is some of us are proud of Neil. We love him. He's our brother. And I thought it would be a nice gesture to let some people in on the fact that a lot of us have actually "known" Neil for a lot longer than just on SI... and did not realize it.

And furthermore... yes, those videos are funny.

Some people on here love to get all huffy "in the name of the Lord" and prove to everyone how righteous and holy they are. I know because I have been like that A LOT on here. It's nothing but self righteous pride (otherwise known as sin).

So I will give you the same advice others have given to me on this forum (and they were absolutely correct): Get over yourself.

I am proud of Neil too. He is a dear brother in Christ and He loves the Lord with all of his heart and he is sincere and real and I count it a privelege to call him a brother and a friend..........brither Frank
