There you go again! Not only are you incapable of learning to snip,
you are so willing to glorify your own ignorance.

Spit and spat are both acceptable past and past participles of spit. I
believe, but will not bet the farm, that spat is the common
British version.

Cease to comment on the ignorance of others until you get rid of your
own, never mind that is the only way you can achieve orgasm.

What a dull-minded little **** you are, Bob G. Sad that your like presumes
to educate young minds when your own mind is so narrow as demonstrated by
your lack of understanding of context.

"And thus shall ye be spit upon" is a layman's attempt at "Bible speak."
It's an antiquated language form no longer in everyday use.

When using antiquated language forms it is better to use them correctly.
"Spat" is the appropriate form of the word when used in antiquated, Biblical
language form.

PKB, as I just pointed out above with my usual brilliance. Don't you ever
tire of getting smacked down?

He said to go forth and teach. He did not say to go forth and fight.

He said it would be dangerous work that might cost their lives.

He did not tell them to fight. Over and over he told them to reconcile
with their accusers, etc. This just shows you've only been selectively
reading the Bible, assuming you've been reading it at all.

He equipped
them with various weapons to fight with. They could even exorcise demons and
that is some tough dude who can exorcise a demon. A couple of them could
even raise the dead. Jesus was no wus when it came to establishing His
church.

Which is why he kept leaving towns as soon as there was some sort of
ruckus. Right.

When we are generous with our time, our labour, our money and our
heart, in the name of Jesus, we are Apostles. For when we do these
things we are asked why. At that point we can teach them about
Jesus. You give first and wait for them to be inquisitive. In your
face missionary work is rarely successful. If it was all Haitians
would be Scientologists by now.

Haitians already had a religion based upon their African heritage. But, you
make a good point. Lead by example but don't be swayed by this turn the
other cheek nonsense.

Uh, that's exactly the opposite of what Jesus preached. He told you to
turn the other cheek when struck. Sadly, your ego will not let you do that.

Jesus himself, for example, did not turn the other
check when it came to smacking the money changers in the temple around.

Clearly you do not understand the difference between Godly anger and
manly temper. He did not overturn the tables because the money changers
had done anything specifically to HIM, it was for what that was doing to
the observance of their religion.

A true story was retold at our church last year. A parishoner heard
of a woman, on her street,who had her hours drastically reduced at
work and had barely enough for rent let alone food and other bills.
He and his wife determined that they had surplus money and the woman
could make better use of it than they. He went over to her house and
gave an envelope of money to her with no explanation. The woman
opened the envelope and was not happy, she went back to the givers'
house and demanded to know what they expected in return for this
money. When told nothing, she was suspicious, but under her financial
circumstances grudgingly took the money and left. Very little of a
thank you was given. During the next weeks the couple and the woman
would pass on the street and exchange hellos, but no mention of the
money was made. One day the woman appeared at the door and told the
couple she needed to know why they gave her the money, why they
expected nothing back as her expeience had been nothing came to you
for free.

At this point the woman was ready to hear the story of Jesus.

We give of ourselves, we expect nothing in return and we wait for them
to come to us.


That's not entirely true.

Sure it is.

"Paul writes some instruction regarding Christian giving in 1 Corinthians
9:14, where he states that, "...the Lord ordained that they which preach the
gospel should live of the gospel." In other words, preachers should be paid
to preach. Where does this money come from? In Galatians Paul tells us, "Let
him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all
good things" (Galatians 6:6 - this can be better understood from another
translation: "And let the one who is taught the word share all good things
with him who teaches" (NASB). We see this same concept again in 1 Timothy
5:17-18 where Paul writes, "Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy
of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. For
the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the
corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward." Therefore, we should be
giving to support those who teach us faithfully.

What the hell are you babbling about? You've completely bolloxed up
husk's point, which is that when he gave the woman money he expected
nothing in return. How does some scripture saying it's OK to pay
teachers enter into that?

Fighting the secularists is a waste of our time. It's what the
Scientologists do and they are failing miserably.


Don't fight them but preach to them and not in some wuss, PC manner. Teach
them the truth and the Word.


Fortunately, Greg, you're not a Christian so you don't have to worry
about it. Pretending to be one is just another act you put on.

The Online dictionary definition:

1. Full of high-spirited gaiety; jolly.
2. Marked by or offering fun and gaiety; festive: a merry evening.
3. Archaic Delightful; entertaining.
4. Brisk: a merry pace.

It seems to me this 'merry' Christmas crap is just another way for
non-believers to take over and marginalize the true meaning of Christmas.
It seems to me Christ's birth should be celebrated with solemn thanks to
our
Lord for giving his only begotten son that those who believe in Him may
have
everlasting life.

Getting drunk on spirits and getting bloated on too much food is
debauchery.
Is it proper to gives thanks to the Lord's ultimate sacrifice by engaging

very antithetical, blasphemous and sinful and no way to get to Heaven.

Barbarella, you know that just isn't true. I have to constantly repel comely
and aggressive, female boarders from my 'nutshell.' I am not alone - I am
just very particular whom I choose to be with.

The man who cannot dance pretends that the band doesn't know how to play.

I insist upon a perfect woman/helpmate. Actually, there is no such thing as
a perfect woman but some women come very close to it. You are one such
woman. There is only one thing you need to be completely perfect - that
being your being my helpmate.

As evidenced by your hitting on all those other Usenet women.

oh, **** you, Gregory! The expression is old as dirt! In other parts
of the world "merry" is substituted by the word "happy". The meaning
is the same for Christians. why would they *not* be merry or happy
that the savior was born? huh?


You missed the point. "Merry Christmas" is the preferred, non-believer,
politically correct greeting that marginalizes the true purpose of
Christmas
which is celebrating the birth of the Christ. How about 'Joyous
Christmas' or better yet. 'Holy Christmas'.
That sounds like a dine idea and I hope you enjoy your push to put the
christian back into christianity. You plan to lead by example?
I am leading by example.


Do you think the non-believers would ever accept and say those
greetings?
Why are you so interested in controlling what other people are doing
and saying?
Negative, I am saying that, as a Christian, I am tasked with not
allowing my religion to be secularized, liberalized and *******ized by
accepting the language the anti-religious or non-religious use to usurp
and marginalize my religion.

Keep your religion to yourself (as instructed to do in your bible) and no
one will bother you. Real simple.

It's not even really his religion. It's just a way for him to bolster
his pretend superiority.

As usual you know nothing, Pandora. And, you appear to know even less about
the Bible.

As Christians, the Bible says to NOT to keep Christianity to ourselves.
Rather, the Bible teaches us to spread our religion throughout the world.

Matthew 28:18 - And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matthew 28:19 -Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:20 - Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the
world. Amen.

Jesus was speaking to his disciples, not to all men. See Matthew
28:16-17 where it makes it clear he was only speaking to the eleven
disciples.

In Matthew 6:5-8, when speaking to the multitude he tells them to pray
in secret, not out in public as the hypocrites do.

Further, in Matthew 7:21-23 he makes it clear that doing things in his
name, even prophesying and casting out demons, is not enough to gain
entry into heaven.

Mark 16:15 - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:16 - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.

In Mark 16:14 he makes it clear he is only talking to the disciples;
also Mark 3:14.

It is plain as day that Christians are tasked to spread the Gospel.

Then why, in Matthew 9:30 does Jesus instruct the blind men not to tell
anyone he healed them?

Nah. He's just alone and lonely and desperate.



PKB!

Heh. I'm actually enjoying being alone today as I just spent the
entire weekend with 20 of my family. We ate, opened gifts, talked,
drank a lot of wine and enjoyed one another's company. It was a
special weekend as our son and his wife and daughters drove all the way
from Reno, Nevada to spend the weekend with us. We had a wonderful
time. Sorry you didn't.


hard to be lonely in a small crowd of 20. i'm glad you had a good time.
my sister and her husband and youngest came up from the ozarks to spend
the week, and we had 24 at christmas dinner, only 17 at christmas eve
dinner.

Drat! And here I thought I'd had a lot of people for dinner. We seem to
have the same ideas though. :-)

One would imagine your childhood Christmas time was pretty bleak.
Christmas is a great time for children, more so than adults.
Overanalyizing Christmas robs the simple joy that Christmas is for
children. Sorry yours was ****ty...

I don't know, k2. I think it might be just as great a time for adults,
for different reasons. I appreciate getting the whole family together
more than I used to.

We sat down 17 to dinner on Christmas Eve, 24 for a buffet for
Christmas. It's good to have all the kids playing together.

I used to love it when I was a kid and all the family got together and us
*cousins* could sneak off alone without the grownups and just hang. I
love, today, to see my grandkids doing the same. I think when they're
all grownup they'll be good friends. And so the tradition continues.
It's FAMILY after all.

we were fewer this year. my brother joe didn't fly in from los angeles,
my sister becky and her husband were on vacation in south america, and
my brother ray didn't show up, prolly mad at somebody. he usually is. i
think our record one year was 30.

Amazing!

i prefer the independance day party, which is "mine". [we split up the
different holidays.] if people get rowdy, we kick them outside. it's a
bit cold to do that this time of year.

Indeed it is, even here. We managed though without any rowdiness this
year.
