Pulpit Bloopers.

What bloopers have you heard from the pulpit?
One time me and my wife heard a minister say balls of compassions instead of bowels of compassion.
What pulpit bloopers have you heard ?

Heard someone quote 2 Cor 4:7 as "we have this treasure in earthel vessens"

Heard about a preacher who mispronounce "crown of thorns." He referred to it as "thorn of crowns," "thrown of corns," etc.

Heard a preacher quoting YHWH to Moses at the burning bush as saying, "take your feet off, you're on holy ground"

P.S. numbers one and 3 above were JE. Don't know the name of the preacher in number 2 above.

I have a couple. At the church I attended in IL the pastor was talking about getting stuck in a rut like a record shipping. He said it is like a 'pornography record' instead of a phonographic record. That was funny. The one that takes the cake to me is my Bishop in Tn said 'let everything that has breast, instead of breathe, praise the Lord.' This was taped on our Sunday morning service that was shown on Tv the following week. They editied out the breast word cause he corrected himself with the proper phrase so when it aired it was mute during his mistake and the sound was on for the correct way. What made it funnier was that we had to go through the whole taping trying to hold in our laughter and once the camera lights went off the whole place eruted in laughter. That was a classic blunder.

Heard of a preacher, think it was years ago at a campmeeting, who was preaching and mentioned that we were not under the law. Then he went on about if we were, we couldn't eat pork or ham. Then went on about not being able to eat hamburgers (confused with ham). After the sermon, a little boy came forward and knelt at the altar. Behind him came a dog who also came to the altar next to him. One preacher turned to another on the platform and said, "That's because of the hamburger sermon."

Heard about a preacher (don't remember who told me now) who made a statement about men not wearing shirts and how he though it was wrong. He went on to say, "I'd rather see a woman without a blouse than to see a man without a shirt."

He probably got some "amens" on that.

A fellow is a friend of mine said if a man touched a woman and got burned he is supposed to marry her.

A story that was related to me was from a while ago. At TN UPC camp an old preacher name removed for safety stood up one night and addresses the dressed code at camp. See there had been many of the girls wearing flip- flops and that was against dress code. So this preacher stood up and said every girl wearing thongs stand up and take them off cause it is against dress code to wear them. Quickly a younger minister on the platform stood up and hollered "he is talking about Flip-Flops." Needless to say there were some girls that had already started standing many of which did not wear flip-flops to service if you know what I mean. LOL

Another funny account is in Tn we had a minister come visit us that out of the blue got the revelation of the monotheistic God. Jesus is God. He came to our church several times and upon one return-again shown on the TV broadcast- he said he witnessed to his former pastor about the Godhead and he said "my pastor finally came out of the closet" to which the associate pastor grab the microphone and corrected his mistake. That was interesting to say the least

The pastor of a church I attended was encouraging worship and said, not to worry about wildfire breaking out.

If wild fire breaks out you don't have to worry, someone will throw a "wet back" on it.

We had several mexican folks in that church. Fortunaltley they realized he Meant to say "wet blanket".
