I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packaging has a big American flag and a "Designed in U.S.A." claim, which I suspect is bullshit given the company involved. Also, there are two Bible verses referenced. This smacks of pandering to a particular slice of conservative Americans. All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country's socio-political bullshit.

why bible verse on a box, its very out of place why not somewhere else.

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It is out of place, but it's designed to pique human curiosity & get people to unwittingly Google Bible verses. Effortlessly spreading the gospel as they're told to, fulfilling the Great Commission.

If I was a troll, I'd start putting the weird ones on like Jeremiah 10:1-4 or Deuteronomy 22:9.

You’re right, but I googled the wrong thing and googled John 4:16, which is “Jesus said ‘Go call your husband […]’” (It says more, but search cut it off there.)

I had a solid guffaw because these boxes are for 2-way radios. Then I realized that I googled the wrong thing and lost interest in continued research.

John 4,16 is actually : "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. "

But on the box the reference is actually 3,16:
"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. "

And John 14,6:
"Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

This is actually 1 John 3:16 (from the letters of John). John 3:16 (from the gospel according to) is actually:

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

(Arguably the most famous new testament quote besides "Jesus wept".)
