What are people like me, EB?

Do you feel comfortable representing Christ, and ending your postings "In Jesus Name" with what you speak? Is that a conversation "seasoned with salt", is the "law of kindness in your mouth"? I can't even have conversation with you. I went there with you last night and thought I'd just challenge you in a more cordial way, and yet we end up in the same place. It just seeps and pours out of you, and is quite insulting. Nevertheless, you're just a name on a forum, but if no one has ever given you that feedback, count me as a first. I doubt I am though.

You haven't.

You also couldn't care less what I or anyone else believes.

So, what do you expect to gain from the above? You have nothing to add so you want to show me your lack of intelligence? Did you get a spanking last night, so you want to continue your chimp like behavior.

Maybe you should give it a try also.

What is your nearest city?

You aren't having a conversation, you are still fuming from last night. I bet all the flies in your house are wingless. All their wings in a neat pile next to your compuuter mouse.

Seriously, you're quite amazing. Chimp-like behavior? Whipping last night? Is it he who can be the rudest and write the longest posts wins? How do you measure "winning?" I could care less what you believe? Really? Where do you get that from. We've never engaged in "this is what I believe"... it has instead been "you sissy boys that like men in dresses" nonsense.

I would be much more inclined to know what EB if you packaged your thoughts without the thorns of brashness and acid. The other part is, I come from OP, and I know much about your positions.

[GrowingPains]

"Law of kindness" isn't it.
Intimidation must work for you often. Be rude enough, be smart alec and petulent enough, people will stop and that means "you win!" Fuming from last night? Do you really think it goes that deep? haha. Seriously, give it a break. I just tried a second time interacting with you and you basically told me to shut-up. I think that's a problem.

While I enjoy your opinions on AFF, I'm giving you feedback. Instead you act defensive about it.

You are getting pretty hot now. The above was posted out of shear anger. You came into this thread for the sole purpose of attacking me. I will givve you some advice, don't rebuke someone with the same venom you claim to be correcting.

Oh, a disgruntled employee, well, if you were ex-postman, you would be shooting a gun. Instead you post your bullets. Presents your arguments, and we can continue. Yet, you just want to spew your view. Right?

No, you didn't try to interact with me in this thread. If you did you would've added to the conversation. You didn't. You came off from the same place you left off last night. Don't play the victim. Deal with your issue.

You enjoy my opinions? You have a strange way of showing that.

I think you are having way too much fun doing what you are doing here.

Sri Ramakrishna, the guru of the swami Vivekanada, preached Jesus, and when the swami Vivekanada came to America in 1893 to attend the Parliament of World religions in Chicago, the swami Vivekanada spoke about Jesus Christ. Sri Ramakrishna taught that God was one yet as a big body of water is one, but had different tributaries from which people drew water, so was the One God. People draw water from one source, yet call the water by different names, so it is with God. The Apostle Paul warned of another Jesus, another spirit, and another Gospel. Mohammad, spoke about a Jesus that the Muslims hold in high regard, and yet he is not "the" Jesus.
Jehovah Witnesses, teach a Jesus who is an archangel who was sacrificed, and the LDS, teaches a Jesus who was born from a god who was once a man like you and I. All go by the name of Jesus, but have different messages, which lead to different outcomes for those who follow them. Clothe and feed the poor? Everyone from Muslims, to Buddhists, and Rabbinical Jews do good deeds, but their messages lead to eternal punishment.



Every teacher, preacher or rabbi has fallen into some sort of stupidity, from the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, to the Rabbis arrested in N.J. sting. Yet, Osho, and the Rabbis don't corner the market on being thought of as perverts and crooks. Reason being, they didn't have their own television shows. There are Rabbis who have been arrested for all manner of crimes as the same with the gurus and swamis. Yet, you as the man on the street never really hear about them. In other words, since we had given these televangelists a license to kill on the airwaves we reap the harvest of mockery. You see Ed, John Q Citizen didn't grow up in a United Pentecostal Church, and therefore can't tell the difference from the two fornicating Jimmies, from a One God Pentecostal on the blue screen. They have no idea what is right or wrong. If it wasn't such a Biblical issue scripturally, then Paul wasted his time writing out 2nd Corinthians 11:1-33. The apostle defended his churches against those who preached another Jesus and another Gospel. Paul wasn't trying to make the Body of Christ user friendly and a grotesque postmodern monster. He was trying to show the strait and narrow way.




Down here we have full blown sinners who want me to get them "Kill Your Television" bumper stickers. They fall out when I tell them that Christians fight me like wolves to defend television, and not cutting the hair of my daughters. The transvestites, and transgenders down here see the symbol of a dress and long hair, yet the ones I have spoken with are amazed that we Christians fight over these truths. You see Ed, these people weren't raised United Pentecostal, most weren't even raised in a religious home. They come from the most populated places in America, the inner cities. The inner cities where people need a real change from the televangelist garbage on the screen. You see, what they deal with every day is different from colgate smiles and baby soft hands of Joel Olsteen. Joel, and the rest of the t.v. preachers don't know what the people are going through or dealing with. Most of the people in the cities are dealing with new age, eastern philosophy, and microwavable mega church. For the most part the young people want militant faith. We are experiencing a lot of young men and women going into Islam, if you gave them your list of dos and don’ts, they would turn around and ask you what is your problem. We have a large group of Rastafarians down here who don't cut their hair, shave, and the women never have their dreads exposed or wear pants. They wear long sleeves, and no jewelry.
Our Hasidic Jews follow also the same pattern, of outer dress, long sleeves, no jewelry, women cover their heads, and wear ankle length dresses. In their homes they have no televisions. Ed, sinners and people of the world expect religious people to look and act spiritual. What shocks them is when you act and look they do.



The difference is Ed, John Q, expects godly looking sisters, and men. But it was Tammy's hysterical antics, and her colgate smiling husband's flamboyant spendings that blew John Q Public away. By the time they got to see Jimbo, crying and being dragged away in cuffs, old John Q was really flipping and tripping.

I have traveled all over America, and spent time talking to the man in the street. They want something real, and if they were to dedicate their lives to a religion, they wouldn't be spending most their time trying to figure out how to find loopholes, to adapt to their secular life.

I guess that job is for those disgruntles who were raised in the religion?



I'm more than happy for you to show us how the Vedic writings of the Gita, compare to the teachings of the Gospel.

Paul didn't quote Aratus to align himself with the Greek poet. Paul was telling those on the Areopagus that they were too superstitious, and through ignorance they worship deities. Paul quotes Aratus to show how much they were in false worship. Paul was at no time trying to quote the Phaenomena to align Jesus Christ with Zeus and how man is his physical offspring.

Ed, I'm very interested to see how Krishna and Arjuna in the Gita were plagiarized by Jesus and His apostles.

In Jesus name

EB, that's the problem. Your arguments are riding on assumptions. This has nothing to do with last night but the first response I got from you no this thread. So maybe it's you that is still hot from last night?

Venom? Review your words. I challenge you. Read them to your children, and see if that feels comfortable. Spew my view??? Really??? Come on, bro.

Here is your first post to me in this thread, since last night. Holding your tongue? Holding your tongue? Is that supposed to mean greetings?

Wake up and smell the coffee. If TV preachers have a bad name, make it a good one!

You started right where you left off from last night. All you need to do is apologize. Yet, it doesn't look like youu will admit the wrong doing.

My children would be giggling, because their father is laughing while he types.

You were just picking up where you left off last night. Deal with your problem.
It's not my trial.
