His body is not still on the cross. The Crucifix depicts Him dying, not dead.
Does that include a card that plays, “When the Roll is Called up Yonder I’ll be there,” in four part harmony when you open it?
Here’s a nice poem:
JABBERWOCKY
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought —
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!’
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
! That was uncalled for, we are talking about a real live prophet-deity (much like a Pentecostal Obama). As a prophet-deity ! J-d ! had far more important tasks than learning English. !
It sure does, will you be needing that on 8-track or cassette?
Quackery, fakery, mopery, dopery... bad poetry.
(...)
Why, if ‘tis dancing you would be,
There’s brisker pipes than poetry.
Say, for what were hop-yards meant,
Or why was Burton built on Trent?
Oh many a peer of England brews
Livelier liquor than the Muse,
And malt does more than Milton can
To justify God’s ways to man.
Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink
For fellows whom it hurts to think:
Look into the pewter pot
To see the world as the world’s not.
And faith, ‘tis pleasant till ‘tis past:
The mischief is that ‘twill not last.

***Thats when I had the coughing fit!
Funny!***
Yes, the LOLcat Bible translation is sometimes suitable for debating with those who think that they are either God or His number one prophet.
8 track will be fine. Srsly. Or 33 rpm
***I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. - Joshua 1:9
I was away for a bit. Those following the Roman cult of the pope obviously writhe and hiss like serpents on the fire at quotations from the Word. ***
We prefer the words of Jesus. Have you any in your repertoire these days, now that you are no longer God, but merely a prophet?
***Many see this but are without solid Biblical foundation or guidance. These folks are the target of my ministry now. ***
Just make sure that they bring their money.
You didn’t even bother to mention double cream brie.
Well said, sir.
Perhaps the Union Gospel Mission of Seattle doesn't want your filthy money.
That's because I ate it all.
All RIGHT! So now my diamond tips will go to waste! So, send the 8 track.
Srsly. I have a gorgeous, wonderful AM/FM radio, plays 33s, 45s and 78s, 8 tracks (no cassettes) all in a beautiful oak cabinet, inherited from the inlaws who bought it 45-50 years ago. I LOVE the 8 tracks, and the radio. Some of the 33s are okay. Most of it is classical music, Boston Pops, etc.
I wonder which version of the Internet Prophecy Generator is being used here? 3.2, or 4.6?Then it churns out a random series of phrases vaguely related to the topic, and you just toss in punctuation here and there.
That was my impression when I first heard this kind of stuff first hand, 30+ years ago. Someone's soaked themselves in the jargon and literature of a particular group, and just spews random phrases run through an internal mental filter of greater or (ahem!) lesser quality that filters out the absolute nonsense and strings what's left together.
Think of the old thought experiment, monkeys randomly banging on the 26 letters keys of typewriters, producing (in the loooooooooooooong eventually) the plays of Shakespeare.
Did you know, that a primitive 1960s era program called ELIZA could carry on a converstation with you? Yet "ELIZA has almost no intelligence whatsoever, only tricks like string substitution and canned responses based on keywords."
Yes, and there was a program that did fairly effective psychotherapy, as well. Maybe we should take up a collection for the internet prophet? Nah! JimRob quarterly comes first.
