allan w.

Your info lists you as pagan/wiccan...I reiterate what I just said.

Great idea CK...can we flame, ridicule, insult posters that don't believe pfal ( or are we a bit more grown up than that ??!! ) See you there !!

Hey Brambs.. ever think that maybe Jesus is glad you 'jumped ship' ? It's hard to 'prick the kickers you know !! What 'line' am I wanting to 'make' people walk ? As myself and others have said before this is just a forum of nameless, faceless posters who simply post what they feel and believe ?? Nothing more, nothing less.

With great trepidation of living up to my 'bully boy' persona...there needs to be some form of context and 'to whom it is written' with scripture dontcha think Danny boy ?? Otherwise what Paul and others had to say about working with ones own hands etc.. would have been in total contrast to the words of Jesus. Don't forget Jesus also talked about slothfulness and bad stewardship etc..

Hey...at least I've got some people startin' to think 'spiritual'...and that's where 'inter-faith' dialogue needs to start btw !!!

Aaah....Dancin', I clicked...you're one of Todds' 'apprentices'.

That's right Galen...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING taught by VP et al twi was CORRECT. You've been here long enough to know that by now, shame on you !!

So let's see...No to condoms to help curb overpopulation and aids in third world countries the torture and murder of 'heretics' the rampant and unchecked sexual abuse of young boys. Sorry, did I miss something ?? What political stance do the RCs' take ??

Never did like Edgey...way too 'dark' for me. And 'Dancin'...your pms' to me have no 'messages' attached (unless they're written in 'invisible ink').

You see Brambs, Oaks and company...I really don't want to see myself hashing and rehashing pfal stuff for years on GSC. Mike does a pretty good job of that. Theres more to life than GSC...it probably figures about 30th on my list of things I get a kick from. I like to peruse and keep up with what's happenin, encourage believers, learn some things, warn of 'cult pscychos' who sometimes stumble upon GSC to anybody who wants to listen. You see ladies and gentlemen...everyone has an 'agenda' and/or motives, sometimes hidden, sometimes transparent, sometimes Godly and Holy other times unGodly and unHoly. I thought ex-twiers' would have learnt that by now. Until that happens I will be known as...' the pneuma that walks'

Well said !! I hope Greektoyou that you are doing something constructive towards the upcoming Kingdom...(somehow I get the 'feelin' you are) !!

Bless you too Brambles.

Well that little 'cult following' didn't last long !!

Pretty simple Clay. We've both got two eyes, ears, arms and legs. That's where our commonality parts ways.

Well said Oldies and MD Vaden...and welcome btw (if you haven't been already). As far as I know, Dr.W didn't try to hide any of E.W. Bullingers words or books at all or disuade people from reading about him. The companion Bible was a recommended Bible too wasn't it ?? Someone else posted about ministries bearing fruit. I think anyone doing that from the glasshouse of their respective church denominations really ought to look at a cupla layers of their own chuch history too !!

My, my...so where do you suggest we all meet Clay ? Your place or Todds ??!! Even though I think half of GS posters are misguided a** holes (myself included at times). Arrogant di** heads. Pompous atheistic *ankers. I'D STILL FEEL SAFER IN A ROOM WITH THEM THAN WITH YOU AND TODD. I dunno....it's just an uneasy feelin' I get about you two and your motives. The same kind of feelin' I got before we 'checked out' of twi2.

Sorry...but I still prefer Paw and Modiwasher as moderators Todd. Thanks all the same.

Why not ? because I am already settled with what I believe to be the correct doctrinal and practical interpretations and applications of the subjects per se. JCING, DANA, etc.. In Christ, put on Christ, mind of Christ, Christ in you, etc.. do nothing but extol the position of 'asleep in Christ'. JohnIam also again reiterated the scripture in its' 'near context' to dead and alive. Any more (imo) is 'striving about words' which has no profit. I try to balance my reading with 'moving' the gospel out in the community. More often than not my time swings towards the 'moving' part.

Maybe look up the phrase' in Christ'.

E.W. Bullinger explains the verses quite well (as Abbey said, Jewish folklores and traditions) Jesus point was not life after death or death after life but the fact that if 'truth hit them over the head with a baseball bat, they STILL WOULD NOT BELIEVE'.

That's probably the crux of it Goey...some of us feel more good than harm was done ?? (although the good does in no way negate the bad.)

Actually, when Christ lay in the tomb for 3 days and nights, there is no record of him having gone anywhere. Surely of all people, Jesus would have had an after death experience ?? After God raised him up, he went and preached to imprisoned spirits. The parable of Lazarus was an old Jewish tradition that Jesus used as a teaching tool to relay a certain point at the time. Regarding nde's...the vast majority of people who recover have no 'experiences' whatsoever !

Put some names to the dates and I'll tell you if I'm over them. Martin Luther left us with some wonderful legacies etc..but I don't think about him (positively or negatively) every other day ! I do however enjoy the fruits of his wonderful stand on God's Word. Same with VP.

Just got an email from an 'innie' (albeit second hand) but I cannot really go into specifics at this point in time w/o i.d.ing them to 'waygb'. All I can say is that it looks as if H.Q. is in a 'mess' and no-one outside of H.Q. is able to find out exactly what is going on. It doesn't look good for H.Q. My informant is close to 'checking out' and when that happens I'll post more details.

If they were the forefathers of these crazy islamic A-rabs of today...I rest my case.
