If it is "blessed" and you drink it like Evian, then what prevents schmucks from putting their face in the pool at a church and using it like a drinking fountain?
I pose only that water doesn't purify, sanctify, nor redeem. Only Christ redeems ... therefore, drinkable holy water is a concept born of a capitalist company relying on the general stupidity of people.
In the end -- the rich get purified while those who can't afford it are in "mortal danger", whereas one's spiritual cleanliness is judged by God -- not something with trademarks.
This falls under the category of "testamints" sold in Family Christian bookstores. A cross imprinted on candy doesn't make it holy. Furthermore, if its more expensive and there is no discernible way to track where the "portion" if any "of the purchase price goes to" causes, it's a bad purchase.
I feel ashamed that the bottled water will fool people into feeling redeemed. I don't have to pray today ... nor feel God's and Christ's grace today ... I drank a HW today. "Is it in you?"
well, i think if you take this water with a sense of humor it's kind of funny.
i seriously hope people don't think this water will offer any type of salvation.
i didn't click on the link so I don't really know anything about it other than what it looks like.
another attempt at marketing Christ. But for those of us who are already Christians and aren't looking to be saved by the water...looks like a nice Christmas gift for the Pastor.

Maybe I should take it more seriously...
Yeah... I don't like those "testamints" either. Along with every other trinkety thing at those christian bookstores.
Carrie,
This doesn't mean I'm getting water for Christmas does it?!? :)
This just made me sad.
