As for your command to mind my own business, this is a public newsgroup, and as Scotty would surely be the first to tell you, you don't have the right to control what I choose to comment on here. God hates you for your piety, Tinkerntom. And I have never tried to control what you "choose to comment on here." In fact, if you chose to talk about God in a civil fashion, I can and would respond in kind in a semi-detached fashion. If you choose to make it personal, then I can make it very personal, that is my choice. I have tried to lay out my thought process regarding different scenarios, so that you can regulate yourself, to determine the results that you desire, and find most comfortable to live with here in our little corner of cyberspace. Remember, the fool is someone who does something over and over, expecting different results! If you choose to be a busy-body, and into everone elses personal business, that says alot more about you, than anything else you may have to say on that subject in particular, and probably in general as well. Small minds make small comments and contributions to any society, including the RBP. If this is not the case with you, you are free to comment and show all of us otherwise, that is definitely a choice that is up to you. Reminds me of another saying; Let men think you a fool, just don't speak, by opening your mouth, you leave no doubt! You are correct on one point though, you said God hates "piety". Two points. One, I always find it interesting when someone who does not believe in God seems to have a pretty good idea about what God likes and dislikes; pretty good imagination there about the invisible that does not exist. Which by logic, could not have likes and dislikes, and so would nullify your point in the first place. Secondly to your point about piety. Piety is an act of devotion and reverence to God. If the act is performed for the purpose of establishing ones own righteousness, then God definitely hates it, because it sparates us from the righteousness that come from God, by believing in the finished work of Jesus on the Cross. The scripture says, "All our righteousness is like filthy rags!" So if we are depending on our own acts of piety and benevolence to get in God's favor and get close to Him, we would do better to grab a bunch of dirty old filthy rags and rap them up as a present for the King of Kings, and then should not be surprised when we are not allowed in His presence. For myself, I acknowledge that all I had to offer Him was a bundle of filthy rags, and I accepted Jesus as my Savior, He is now the source of my Righteousness. And now the greatest act of piety on my behalf is to crawl up in His lap, as a Son of God, a Child of the King, and say, I Love You Father. He delights in these acts of piety by His Children. God Loves you KMAN, and you are oh so close to the Kingdom! There is not hostility here towards you KMAN, but a deep sense of compassion for a wounded heart and soul. God Loved you before I came along to the RBP, and He heard that cry, and assigned me to be here for awhile to share His Love with you and others who come along. He heard your cry, and I am learning to hear it, and to know the Love of God that suppasses understanding, flowing through me like a River of Love flowing out to you with Springs of Living Water. I cannot imagine the terrible wounds that have been afflicted upon your heart and soul, to result in the cries that I hear, but God Knows, and Loves you, and can heal all those wounds and the broken heart!

Being a nut case myself, He figured I could handle you! No one ever said that God does not have a sense of humor! It's been years since I've read it, but in Erasmus' "Praise of Folly", I seem to remember him mentioning the idea that "God loves the fools the best". So perhaps you're pretty safe in this regard! :-) - -- Melissa ....SNIP... It makes me think of the song, "Here come the Clowns", my qualifications for being safe in the arms of a loving God, are undoubtedly without doubt! TnT |

Wolfgang I would not be able to help you on this one, I don't know noone who was one of The Monkees. If it is someone you know then you will need to check with them! In fact I am not familiar with The Monkees at all, though it seems that I may have heard of The Monkeys! Are they one of the clown acts? TnT |
