What? I didn't think stupidity existed? What happened to everyone being smart in their own way? I can't believe you just used the "s" word.
The fact that you didn't comprehend my statement doesn't mean I need to stop saying it. I didn't think the post "required" deletion or an apology. There's nothing complicated about it.
If you didn't want it deleted, why didn't you tell Standards that when he suggested it, instead of helpfully pointing out the "edit" button?
THIS post is worth reporting, because of your statement "It's too good of an example of blithering stupidity of people of that religious bent." Talk about someone needing to apologize and edit a post....WOW!!!!
So are you saying my post should be deleted or edited?? Is it official now...you want something deleted/edited? I just wanna make sure before I yell at you.
Everyone is smart in their own way, including those who demonstrate "blithering stupidity"! (but you're pushing it)
What's prohibited on NotofWorks Friends Forum is name-calling. Stating that someone illustrated blithering stupidity is NOT name-calling. I don't believe "Standards" is stupid.
I'm aware of the verses. When I replied, I was giving a topical explanation. Of all the exegetes I've heard talk about this, I believe The Message is pretty close:
There's nothing done or said that can't be forgiven. But if you deliberately persist in your slanders against God's Spirit, you are repudiating the very One who forgives. If you reject the Son of Man out of some misunderstanding, the Holy Spirit can forgive you, but when you reject the Holy Spirit, you're sawing off the branch on which you're sitting, severing by your own perversity all connection with the One who forgives.
I've heard another exegete say that this is also in reference to calling something evil that is holy. Rejecting Him, denying Him.
I think the lead-in verse, (v30 is our clue)
30 “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me.
31 “So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven—except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven. 32 Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come.
The Pharisees are the audience. They claim to be God's people, yet they are using their laws to repudiate, deny and reject God's son, the operation of the Spirit, etc... The context helps.
Thanks.

well, I do find it ironic that you would say what you said about the poor fellows ears, then report a post as benign as the one you claimed to have reported.
It does boggle the mind that someone would come up with such a polemic as requesting a fellow poster take their ear and stick it in their ear.
One more question since we are on the subject, do you want one ear stuck into the other, or are you requesting the ear be stuck in itself?
You have confused yourself. Will you please cite the post where I told someone to "take their ear and stick it"? I'm missing it.
Really? Why? Why would I automatically be against Steve Pixler? For you you know, I may be good friends with him so stick it, Standard man!
Really...."Image and glory are always interconnected"??? Really? Says who? Where is that in the bible? What glory? Man's glory? God's glory? Sorry, it just makes no sense.

Seriously....I don't know where you're getting the "sticking his ear in his ear." That doesn't make sense and my response to him when i said, "Stick it" never mentioned anything about anyone's ears at all. I'm confused and God is not the author of confusion, which means if YOU confused me, you......should be infracted!
Really...if you think I meant "stick it" somewhere else, that's your gutterly mind. The only way I've EVER in my life finished the statement, "Stick it" has been by saying "Stick it in your ear." I've never thought of it any other way. My mind is clear on it. If yours isn't, sorry.
There I quoted the exchange.
you said stick it.
I asked what was to be stuck and where it was to be stuck
and you said "ears"
I don’t know what you are referring to my thinking of what you meant and the gutterly minded. Mind boggled that you want an ear stuck in an ear maybe but I find no gutter in this line of thinking.
I just want an explanation. It seems so….. violent.

I quoted the exchange. do you deny requesting "it' be stuck and then that you answered my two part question related to both "it" and where "it" should be stuck with the word "ear"?

Are you being serious here or are you just playing with me???? I said , "Stick it" as in "Stick it in your ears." I never said, implied, hinted at, or anything else that he should stick his EARS IN HIS EARS. I have no clue where you're getting that from.
I'm starting to think you're just yanking my chain.
