John Lewis adverts are honestly woeful.

'Here's some sappy **** with a dull as dishwater acoustic cover of an overplayed song played over it, NOW CRY FOR ME BITCH AND BUY MY OVERPRICED ****!'

yes how lovely for them but who specifically was complaining, who specifically is this article addressed to?

"Because, yes, critics of this advert expect us to integrate, but not too much"

Tbf, the youtube comment section under that video is shocking. There does seem to be a fair few thousand that dislike the concept of an ad like this. Which is just ridiculous.

i am pretty sure that You tube comments is not the answer or justification for any question

I was looking at a camera today and people were effing and jeffing and being racist and sexist about the asian woman in the video

Well written link Vicky. I agree with all of it. Muslims are darned if they do and darned if they don't.

Judging by the article you would think there were no positive comments, shame the article focuses completely on negative tweets, it's a bit woe is me with no balance

I also think that nobody gives a flying **** who celebrates Christmas and how. The annoyance is with Tesco for producing what is basically a cringe worthy advert, and they are not alone, they all seem to be at it.

its truly pathetic

If you look at the comments on Daily Mail write up on this, one of the first one says, "As soon as I saw this advert, I said I would never shop at Tesco again even though it's my nearest supermarket". That comment received 1381 likes. Another one commented, "The advert is a fantasy, and in these times, it's in very bad taste." which received 1104 likes and although there's a good amount of positive comments, there are a good few who claim they won't be shopping at Tescos again.

like i said about youtube comments if you are using them or DM comments as your justification for a viewpoint or argument then you are not really understanding the medium or what it is you are getting angry about

they are at best pantomime

But6 the crap NS article does not even try to give a source it just pretends it be angry at some unknown source

[user104658]

They do shut the upstairs bit (clothes and electronics) at 10 though, but that's because of drunks and junkies shoplifting

Where we live in France they don't open at all on Sunday. During the week they open at 9am, close at 12:00 for lunch and open around 14:00 if they can be bothered and then they close for the night at 17:30

My wife did a year abroad in France with Uni and I went over for about 6 weeks... It wasn't just Sundays where she was! Everything (except bars) shut all weekend... There was actually a weekend that we forgot to get food in on the Friday and lived on crisps and chocolate out if the uni dorms vending machines .

this happens in Spain except in high season when they open Sunday mornings for the tourists

If you don't believe that Jesus was God then you aren't a christian... the bible makes it very clear the difference between prophets that spoke the word of God, and the actual EVENT of GOD coming to earth. That's the whole point of the new testament. and if you don't believe the new testament, then you're basically just a Jew. to put it bluntly.

it's been a while, so i thought i better check

In the New Testament, "Son of God" is applied to Jesus on many occasions.[2] Jesus is declared to be the Son of God on two separate occasions by a voice speaking from Heaven. Jesus is also explicitly and implicitly described as the Son of God by himself and by various individuals who appear in the New Testament.[2][5][6][7] As applied to Jesus, the term is a reference to his role as the Messiah, the King chosen by God.[8] The contexts and ways in which Jesus' title, Son of God, means something more than or other than Messiah remain the subject of ongoing scholarly study and discussion.

jews and Muslims and many other religions believe Jesus was just a prophet. But the very defining characteristic of christianity was that jesus was the coming of God in human form to the Earth.

If you ar a christian you have to believe that Jesus was god, that's the one thing that you cannot debate in Christianity. Because if Jesus was not God, then he wasn't the Christ, literally.

The idea that Jesus of Nazareth was God is literally the entire basis of the Christian religion. I can't believe we are even debating this.

That's kind of explained here :

Jesus can be both God and the son of God because the terms don't mean the same thing. When we say that Jesus is God (John 1:1, 14; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8), we are saying that Jesus possesses the divine nature (as well as a human nature, see hypostatic union). But the term "Son of God" does not mean that Jesus is not God. Think about it. If the term "Son of God" meant that Jesus is not God, then does the term "Son of Man" mean that Jesus is not a man? Of course not. Likewise, if the term "Son of Man" means that Jesus is a man, then does it not imply that when it says Jesus is the "Son of God" that he is God? We ought not look at the ancient words found in Scripture and judge them by modern thinking.

"For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God," (John 5:18).

As you can see in this verse, Jesus was calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God. Therefore, the term Son of God is a designation of the equality with God when it is a reference to Christ.

Never mind scholarly discussion. Lostalex knows.
