Funny, they always say the same thing.

[BlueMoose]

Yes always the same thing

[BlueMoose]

I just can't get my mind around it.

[BlueMoose]

Mind reading is just to hard.

[BlueMoose]

I’m going back to the real world.

Luke 6:22-23

[dila813]

There is millions of us Christians in the World....and most of them have the same belief ... Do as Jesus did or would do given a similar situation.

In fact, I have never heard of Christians that didn’t have this belief, even if it isn’t stressed as much as in other denominations.

I didn’t like it being mocked.

Many Apostles and Saints went to their deaths in trying to walk the path of Christ. Not only did Jesus ask us to do as he did, he gave us examples in the form of the Apostles actually demonstrating it.

Rather than copying onto a thread a vulgar Freepmail you have received from another Poster, instead please copy the offensive Freepmail into a Freepmail addressed to Admin Moderator, and we will take any necessary and appropriate action against the Sender.

Thank you.

Now that is funny.

[ejonesie22]

Wow, you are doing things you aren't even doing old friend. LOL...

Wow, just wow...

What some folks will try and make up and imply in comments like yours that say nothing of the kind just to score points...

If the poster isn't Mormon, they should be, the got the knack...

I want a copy of that catalog...

[BlueMoose]

I want a copy of that catalog...

Yes, that’s the post I was referring to. You acknowledge that you like to deceive in order to amuse yourself. Apparently you see this as a distinguishing characteristic of being a grizzled internet veteran. But as another internet veteran of my acquaintance used to say, integrity is the sole currency of the internet and when you’ve shown others that your words aren’t to be trusted then you’re bankrupt.

Of course I’ve run into people who do something like this in real life but it’s less common when they’re not anonymous. One coworker of mine would invent a story when the truth would serve him much better. It was an odd compulsion in his case, I don’t think he could help himself. Others haven’t got an excuse.

Good morning Elsis

I hope we all did our Bible reading homework over the weekend...

I hope we all did our Bible reading homework over the weekend...

I was amoung 6 that our pastor asked to take about 2 minutes to say a few words about our 9/11 experience: what we felt, learning of it; how our lives are different now.

Here is my prepared text:

September 11th, 2001

 

It was a retirement morning like any other -

waking up, cleaning up and getting ready

to go to Bob’s for breakfast.

 

The TODAY program was on TV,

a familiar noise at this time;

Just like any other morning,

but today seemed different:

Something was happening in New York...

 

 

Unimagineable! A deed dark and EVIL.

 

We were suddenly at war; not with a Nation – but an ideology.

 

Around 3,000 of us died that day – 19 of our attackers did as well.

September 11th, 2011

 

Life is different now.

 

Unknown men handle me in public places that I could not have imagined just 10 years ago.

 

EVERYONE is suspect in a way that Orwell had written about, 62 years ago.

 

Grandmothers and toddlers are

scrutinized and inspected;

their bags and their bottles:

empty or not.

 

 

Today, we worry about and prepare for a possible repeat of that fateful day, 10 years ago.

 

While the head of the beast is allegedly gone, the serpent writhes on:

spitting it’s venom from multiple sources.

 

---

We rightly lament the loss of those lives; snatched away by those with other ideas.

 

3,000 in one day by terrorists?

Why; that is HORRIBLE!!! Unspeakable – Satanic even.

 

But we have ideas in this country, ideas that are incorporated into LAW,

that snatch away life before it has a chance to begin.

More than half again as many in this country die - every working day - since then.

All because of a thing called: CHOICE.

 

It, too, is unspeakable.

 

Guttmacher Institute, compiling data from around the country,

says around 1.2 MILLION die yearly:

Right here in “GOD Bless America”

 

 

50 weeks a year (one must get a vacation);

5 days a week; yields 250 days that a CHOICE is made.

A CHOICE that abruptly terminates another human’s life

just as suddenly as those taken on 9/11.

 

An average of 4 thousand, 8 hundred lives: each and every DAY!

Oh; we still have our buildings after all of this; but what has been ripped from our souls?

 

3,000 cry out for VENGENCE! for 9/11/2001;  while 12,000,000 have no voice, 10 years later...

---

I’ve just returned from a vacation, visiting a place where another loss of many lives occurred: Gettysburg.

Ideas – conflicting ones – clashed on an immense battlefield; and lives were changed afterward.

Today there is a serene, a reverent, an eerie peace to the scene. Memorials dot the land, and the landscape is green; instead of red.

 

One of our greatest men visited the area and spoke a few months after the conflict, saying:

 

Four score and seven years ago

our fathers brought forth on this continent,

a new nation, conceived in Liberty,

and dedicated to the proposition

that all men are created equal.

 

EQUALITY...    It is found in Christ. Lincoln must have had that in mind when he penned ‘CREATED’.

 

St. Paul, in writing to the Galatians, said:

“There is neither

Jew nor Greek,

slave nor free,

male nor female,

for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

 

It’s too bad he didn’t add born and unborn: perhaps todays world would be different.
