Had a word with chrys about the dangers of drinking too early...

Why not put it on your nightstand and set the alarm? :shocked:

Answered a stream of misused quotes with an observation...

Nothing is ever so certain to us as the other fellow's error or our own ineffable rightness.

Reflected with meshak...
meshak said:
We know what Calvin did to non-trin. It is no secret. Jesus says we know them by their fruit.

Jesus' followers are persecutes, not persecutors.

The truth is not in wicked people, you should know that, sister.

I don't believe in "noble" Christians, only Christians...struggling, flawed, human and so in need of grace. I find the sort who are most likely to turn their personal failures into a horror show for others are the same sort who believe they can rightly act as the judge of the soul of their neighbor and with no more authority than their neighbor proclaim them cast out.

Had a word about zoo's use of food and what a man can live without...
chrysostom said:
it sounds like he is just saying tortilla
Click to expand...
I think he was.

but
not eating them
Click to expand...
Of ye of little tortilla faith...or do you like the larger tortillas? :chew:

and
that is like saying you believe
but
not doing the work
Click to expand...
:plain:

Or is it like saying you believe in grace
but
depending on your own efforts to make it meaningful?

And had a last word on assumptions with SD...
serpentdove said:
God's word is the final word. :poly:
Click to expand...
True enough, but too often said by the one fellow killing the other fellow for reading that word differently. Or, the devil is in the details...or reading comprehension, depending. :plain:

The moment we confuse our judgement with God's we might as well be atheists.

Wrapping up with...

...Who cares what I say?
Click to expand...
I'll leave that point in agreement.

What does God say?
Click to expand...
Depends on the subject. And to a large extent it appears to depend on who you ask about what He says. And so my point about the salvific.

Truth is truth independent from me).

That's exactly what I've been saying.

I bet your bunny trails could end up in one of his small observations :freak: threads (Eccl 1:2, NIV).

Uh, yeh, whatever SD. maybe I should follow your approach and start a thread with some link to wherever and 'respond' with a bunch of further links punctuated with yet more smileys and others directed to your own website no matter what the responses might happen to be? I think you may well need help, and that is serious.

I thought Wasted Time sort of covered it...but you have to admit it's a little funny that someone who tries that hard to promote a distanced indifference, methodologically, to nearly anyone she...whatever that is she's doing with other people's thoughs...that she reads Quixote's, let alone feels compelled to answer it.

I didn't particularly want to drag the thread you originally posted this in to the top of the heap but I did really want to ask you about this statement. I don't want to misunderstand but I have to admit to a bit of a wound having read it.

"I find the sort who are most likely to turn their personal failures into a horror show for others are the same sort who believe they can rightly act as the judge of the soul of their neighbor and with no more authority than their neighbor proclaim them cast out."

My personal failures God made into His badge of honor. They aren't very pretty and many would consider them horrific but I speak of them in an effort to witness to His Great Work in me and His love for us. I don't trot out my failures so I can do what only God has the right to do. I just wanted to tell you that...

You aren't even in the ball park dearie!
TH knows a good heart when he sees one! And you have one!
There are those, however, who seem to delight in turning every other posters words into something unintended!

Oh, you completely read in the wrong context. I was saying, essentially, this: people who stalk and lie and live to cause strife for their own sense of empowerment (to set out a few of the horror shows) are the same sort who misuse the Holy and put themselves in a position no one in their right mind would elevate them to...to the position of judge on whether or not the next fellow is right with God, as a judge of what someone "really" means and is... That sort of thing.

You bear no resemblance to that sort of creature, IMJ, though there are some among us who seem to delight in little else...which is why I spend less and less time with them...I tried to backlight SD's practice in hopes it might at least provoke her to consider the contradictions she advances routinely...all it appears to have done is to attract a likened mind and that's too bad.

But such is life.

Merry Christmas, IMJ. :cheers:

So here's the idea (I proposed in anna's positive thread), how about for the rest of the season we refrain from any negative personal comments.

Sorry gang, but since my resident stalker (God alone knows why) isn't content to spam and sputter, but is now actively misdirecting I'm going to lock it down and him out.

Such is life.

Have a great Christmas everyone. I'll be back with more fun and frivolity without whatever it is that fuels the malcontents.

:cheers:
