Semper Fi
and quite as few armed ones also
Sounds like a perfect description of many crucifixes.
----Antics? I guess you don't realize the clarity of my opinions. I don't belong, nor have I EVER posted on any of those other sites you mentioned. I'm more Conservative than you'll ever know. Just different from you, I reckon.
Semper Fi ---Semper Fi to you too, brother. I bow at the honor of the Marines, and respect the Corps, fully.
Don't know what else to say.........except I don't "knit". I played rugby and prefer basketball to baseball. The 'real' Sports, IMO.
That was really weird.....and twisted.
Animal Trophies on the wall are what I was referring to, Vern.
Try and keep score.
Silly, twisted and completely sad and unnecessary.
The bottom line is that Jesus, by his words and deeds, endorsed the sacrifical system. This means, of course, that he endorsed the wholesale killing of innocent, relatively helpless animals, and the systematic draining of their blood and separation of their organs, and ultimately the burning of much of same. How can you claim that this practice is any more, uh, pleasant than a kill from a hunt? What, do you think the priests sang sweet songs into their ears as the knife was inserted? Gave them a last smoke and a drink of wine first?
And what was the animals' crime, that that they would be subject to such cruelty? Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and nothing more. Which was the point: they did nothing to deserve the fate to which they were consigned; it was because of the sins of God-fearing people that they were slaughtered.
And Jesus apparently supported that practice, since he himself became such a sacrifice.
Now I'm not saying that Jesus would approve of trophy hunting. But nor am I saying he would condemn it; because, unlike you, I dare not speak where the Bible is silent. Your attempt to provide Scriptural support was feeble at best, including your incredibly strained attempt to invoke the Holy Trinity to claim that Jesus said Psalm 50.
All I'm saying is that Jesus was not nearly as limpwristed as you might like him to be. He was one tough fellow.
Very tasty and low fat - a perfect storm for my belly ;-)
"sport-hunting", posing poser, tree-standing, duckblinding, inadequate, floundering, hunterering bozo.
You use a duckblind for deer hunting? Man, I got to try that. Congratulations on the deer.
Tell the truth, I don't know how duckblinding got highlighted, We were at the edge of a field and he just happened along, was lucky, especially since I had my grandson with me. Thanks.
I'm free next wed, can I come by for dinner!. I'll bring the wine!

i got a guess..
Dang rooter was a big as me, took 3 of us to hang his big butt on the scale at the skinning shack. 298 lbs on the hoof with no toofas at all. Thank god we had enough rope to get him up out of the hole he rolled into. Ricky popped him with a 7mm mag. Another guy busted the hogs out of a swale below us and this fatso had to take a breather about 2/3 the way up the ridge. That's when Ricky let the air out of him. Poor pig was just catching his breath and WHAM!!! right in the ribs. That porker still cleared the ridge leaking oil out both sides. Tough motor scooters them pigs.
What part of Australia are you in?
Sorry, that term is not in the Bible which makes it unbiblical.
Having said that, his invocation of the Trinity to justify his claim that Jesus "said" Psalm 50 is too strained to be credible. The author of the Psalms wrote them under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, a different person of the Trinity. No doubt Jesus ultimately shared responsibility in a very technical sense, but nobody would take that so far as FS did.
Re-checking my thinking as we speak......................
