It could be that he preached deep, authentic, radical repentance and turning away from sin as a way to manifest the fruits of righteousness. I don’t know if he preached anything about BELEEEVING. Probably not. This would be weird and frightening for propagandists of a certain seed - propagandists like victor and Mike. Remember, only the liar requires beleef for his lie to be effectual.

To your point: as did Thomas Merton. He was a misfit in his youth. One need not live in the Iron Age of the Near East or be a character in the Bible to be a man of God doing "big jobs." If only victor could have believed big enough to live long enough, he could have been taught so much. He might have had a shot at becoming the man he knew to be.

Indeed, everybody does make mistakes. I've just never heard that expression. To spoil something is to ruin it. Sounds harsh, like condemnation. A curios phrase. Must be a generational thing. Or a midwestern thing. Or both.

What do you suppose this means? Spoil what? This? That?

Why do you say John the Baptizer was a weirdo?

Thanks for this. This is a typical defense tactic of NPDs when confronted with the truth of their crimes. I dealt with this for years in my marriage to a narcissist, but I never knew the technical, academic term. It's a deflection tactic. Paired with some gaslighting and some illogical word salad, it can drive a sane, logical, lover of Truth to the brink of delirious, clinical insanity. It's pure evil. Or, if you prefer, devil seed, spawn of the serpent. I take comfort knowing the Bear Jew is a home run hitter - it's a figger of speech. Just a tremendous truth. A real dandy. So much bull$hit. So much snow.

Maybe it was the pennies.

Maybe it was the camel hair. Maybe it was the locusts and wild homey. (That actually sounds like a delicious and nutritious diet for an ascetic.) Kools and Drambuie is an objectively disgusting diet - weird would be the polite euphemism here. And the Pez dispenser of Quaaludes? The one-eyed glares of a dirty old man? Who's the real weirdo?

Why weren't "students" told to get a Lamsa Bible, instead of a KJV? It's more accurate, right? Also, how/why was John the Baptizer a weirdo?

It’s so gratifying to get a direct answer to a direct question.

How/why is JTB a weirdo?

I would be uncomfortable if my sister were dating any dead man.

I accept that this is what you beleeve. I accept that you beleeve the pastoral epistles and 2 Peter were written in the first century. Indeed, the Bible doesn't describe itself comprised of a final collection. It doesn't even describe itself comprised of a preliminary collection. I accept that you beleeve your beleefs, but I'm not convinced of your beleefs by your arguments. And that's fine. Thanks for making your case for all to see - that's why I started this topic. Now, how and why was John the Baptizer a weirdo?
-
This is one of the most important posts ever written in the entire forum.

Why/how was John the Baptizer a weirdo? Was this "handled" in the CF&S class?

victor was a blame shifter, too, as are all NPDs. Why/how was John the Baptizer a weirdo?

Lo maka seetay!

Oh Dear! Jesus is not the word made flesh. How could that be possible if the Word is TheBible+YourWalk+YourBeleeving+ChristInYou? It just doesn't fit. And if it doesn't fit, it's not true to fact.* *Except OJ's gloves. They APPEARED not to fit, but he was, true to fact, the murderer.

PFAL is only new in foreknowledge. The PFAL tucked under Jesus's arm at the return, that's the new one. You've got to get your meta and pros straight.

Four crucified is new. Tithing as the sine qua non of Christian identity is new. SIT is the most important thing a Christian can do is new. Bar mitzvahs were given at a different age for bastard Jews in "Bible times" is new. Jesus was a bastard Jew is new. Translating ekklesia as "called out" is new. Rape in private is only a problem if you BELEEVE it to be is new. Masturbation is the original sin is new. The trees in the garden are symbolic of people is new. So many new things, kidz... All NEW. All HUGE liabilities. Did you ever see Inglorious Basterds? You know who the Bear Jew is? Mmm...mmm... mmmmmph!

What kind of weirdo was John the Baptizer?

I used to think he suffers cognitive dissonance, also. Then, THen, THEn, THEN!! it was suggested to me that it is denial. After observing without prejudice, or without a mind contaminated with confirmation bias, I was able to see he is, indeed, in denial. Lo shonta! Snow and gloves. Always in that order.

What kind of weirdo was John the Baptizer?

I learned where I could - Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, victor paul wierwille.... It was putting it all together so that it fit like a glove in the OJ Simpson trial. THAT'S the original work.

I was just listening to a lecture on this word, apocrypha. I'll try to renew my mind after giving this broad some quaaludes, and see if I can't find it. The meaning is different depending on Old or New Testament. Or else canonical or non-canonized.... looking...
