  1. At best you won't decode him. You'll offer an opinion on what you think he's saying. Remember all those term papers and dissertations on what the white whale in Moby Dick means? And, in all probability, he probably writes that way because he's trying to give himself wiggle room if somebody challenges him. People also often write word salad style so people will read into the text what they want to read into the text. Writers with nothing to hide, hide nothing. They write clearly and to the point. Oh, and also, experience teaches me, writers trying to snow you try to add in extraneous details that have nothing to do with the point, this makes there work far longer than it should be. As a general rule: the more padding, the longer the post; the longer the post and the further off point, the greater the snow job. There are exceptions.

  2. It seems other groups also make lists…. How many of these also would apply to the Way?

  4. Not only is he admitting that he plagaiarized, did a mishmash rewrite and covered his imcompetency with bull-Shonta he also just admitted that wierwille did the same thing. What he have here is a failure to communicate...oh wait...right church wrong pew... What we actually have here, all bull-Shonta aside, is a classic case of parapraxis, aka Freudian Slip and with mike it likely also couples with his cognitive dissonance. There are several types of Freuduan slips but in this case we are seeing a classic case of Avoidance. Mike has to intentionally supresss the truth he knows regarding his idol (wierwille) because he simply doesn't want to deal with truth. Truth about wierwille - con-man, plaigairist, drunk, serial philanderer (im being nice) false prophet. He has to intentionally bury all of this information and rationalize it away, even admitting that it's true with his comparisions with wierwille to Biblical figures. Then you have all the bull-shonta from pflap that he holds near and dear that completely distorts his view on reality and so you see the cognitive dissonance. Now maybe the real person behind mikes profile has none of these issues and it's only the fake online troll persona that does. Who really knows. With that said, mike expects us to take him seriously on anything? Ok...Im off to my little sail boat. That sailboat lives in it's own little universe...where there is water under the water...or at least the Vermicelli Effect keeps the water at the bottom of the pot nice and hot while I cook my noodles for some stir fry...remember there is water at the bottom of the ocean...says prophet Byrne.

  5. Your tome brings about a few interesting question: If the determinism of the universe stated man did not receive spirit (at least for a time) what changed that allowed Jesus Christ to get spirit? If Jesus Christ was a natural man, and as you've stated previously, Natural man is like a beast, the how did he get the free will to do what he had to do to get spirit? If Christ got spirit through water baptism, why don't we? If God can only communicate with what he is, spirit, how did He impregnate Mary? Angels communicated with Joseph telling him not to worry about Mary, does this mean angels are more powerful than God, as they didn't need the spirit-spirit connection?

  6. Not all liars do this, but all hucksters do. This is known as Frankfurtian Bull$hit. The goal is not to conceal the truth (a lie), but to distract, obfuscate and confuse (bull$hit).

  7. Usually liars MO is to add extraneous details to their stories for two reasons: --too many details confuse the brain shutting off critical thinking. --to add the appearance of credibility to their lies.

  8. You said it before I said it. There are some good things in PFAL, but that's because they were pinched from someone who'd put thought in, and who may himself have been inspired by God. Also some good things in the RHST part - for the same reason. The trouble is trying to sort out the truth from the fanciful, reconciling the conflicting messages and versions of whatever "the class" says, etc. Not being able to sort out truth from - from what isn't - is confusing and distracting. It's a poisoned apple (from a poisoned tree). Not all of the apple is poisoned, but you don't know which bits are and which bits are safe to eat. Best thing to do is discard the lot. Heck, for all I know, the confusing bits were deliberate - to confuse, to distract, from the other garbage that we were supposed to take in subliminally. If you're still trying to reconcile "all without exception" with "all with (or without) distinction," you're missing some other perhaps more serious junk.
