  1. Who among you (or us) might be strategic thinkers? Was Victor Wierwille a strategic thinker? (not necessarily a rhetorical question) Is Mike a strategic thinker? (rhetorical question) I mean what really is a great principle? How does it apply to GSC? Are YOU a strategic thinker? (rhetorical question) [stream of consciousness]

  2. Oh, really?! So where are the places it says in the bibical text, "God can only give that which He is, which is Spirit." Or is it you, like Saint Vic, reading something in the text that isn't there? Everybody repeat after me: Add to the Word of God and you no longer have the Word of God.

  3. Ah so by getting back to God's original intent, the point of origin; our velocity is zero, meaning we're getting nowhere. The GP requires one to give, to give a crap, and VPW can only give that which he is. And giving equal receiving. Thus by not giving a crap, one has attained enlightenment.

  4. Technically the velocity of the children runneth in a circle is 0. Since they return to the origin. Much the same as the crap returneth to the grass, which it fertilizeth, and the grass groweth to feedeth the deer. Which the lion eateth, and returneth to earth as crap. All is a cycle.

  5. According to VPW in PFAL, ducks just sit there. In this thread DuckDuckGo was mentioned. This is an apparent contradiction. DuckDuckGo is derived from duck duck goose, the children's game. You see, the crap runneth through the goose as the goose goeth. Not the duck. It just sits there.

  9. I remember people would put a finger in another's face and say "You're out of fellowship" Similar to "Where's you believing", "Spiritual check-up", "Off The Word", "Renew Your Mind" . . . man, there was a whole Insult-Speak I guess when that happens you could point back and say, "That's phenomenal!"

  10. I think this is where I am inspired by Starr Daily's accounts of his life and how the Lord turned things around for him. So, with that said, I am definately not trying to cheapen his experiences at the expense of doctrinal points. Love does rule the day, and love does trump doctrinal issues. With that said, Starr definately didn't understand sin as described in Romans. Which is fine. The man said nothing wrong when he said sin was missing the mark, perhaps he needed a more thorough understanding on the subject. So he definately light pedaled repenting. Whether he did that on purpose or whether that was out of ignorance is not for me to say. What I can speak on is wierwille definately took the ball and ran with it for his own greedy lusts and gain. Wierwille entire take on sin is bogus. wierwille taught that a person only could repent once and that was at the new birth. After that you just confess your broken fellowship and change what habits are causing you to miss the mark. He also taught as long as you dont stumble somebody's believing you are basically ok to live your life as you see fit, with exceptions defined by wierwille, as long as you arent a stumbling block. Then theres the concept of walking in fellowship. With a believer doing great works whilst in fellowship and not able to do great works whilst out of fellowship. Kinda like jumping back and forth into a directed floodlight from outside its focus to being in its light...kinda goofy and unscriptural in its application. Jesus Christ taught if your eye offends you then pluck it out. Obviously the emphasis is on doing whatever it takes to not sin. Jesus Christ fought against sin with his own sacrifice as our passover that was offered for the sins of the world, though Jesus Christ was sinless. Considering the price he paid and the problems sin causes I would say it needs to be recognized, repented of, asked forgiveness from, and all in the context of a person fighting with all their might to not sin and repent when they do. Not just say Im sorry and do the same thing again tomorrow. I mean we likely all fall into that at times and that is what it is and Im not judging anybodys walk. My point is a person sees the wrong in their own lives and does all the can to eventually change and that can be a process. But the hearts cry is the same....Obviously theres more to it than that but just summarizing a few points on the topic. On the other hand you have people like wierwille who minimize sin, they rationalize it all away using grace and mercy as a cloak of covetousness. They continue on in their sins on purpose and set their own reality like a stage and invite victims to come play. Then the sin is rationalized away, yet the devastating effects of those sins are left on the victims who realize now they were played. Anywho...just some morning thoughts here...
