A few days ago, after witnessing blatant hypocrisy by certain members of a
particular Caucus in Washington D.C, I decided to start my own Caucus here on Freerepublic.
(Please note: This is a "King James Bible Believers Caucus" thread,
if you disagree that the KJB is the preserved word of God, this is not the thread for you.)
FREE REPUBLIC'S CAUCUS RULES:
Who can post? Members of the caucus and those specifically invited. What can be posted? Anything but the beliefs of those who are not members of the caucus. What will be pulled? Reply posts mentioning the beliefs of those who are not members of the caucus. If the article is inappropriate for a caucus, the tag will be changed to open. Who will be booted? Repeat offenders.
Here, I’ll help get this thread back on topic, which is to only talk about the KJB.
In no place does my KJB have the phrase, “God the Son”.
Replies are of course welcome,.. but must be agreeable to that fact. Because it is a fact.
Now,...any replies that venture outside KJB scripture to discredit that fact, would be attacking the KJB. (Ok by me. It just shows more clearly any wavering on sola scriptura.)
I like the challenge this creates. The window is small. Answers and opinions have to be very carefully thought out.
The only place safe from the anti- truth and free speech types, is in the light of God’s preserved word, where the darkness will never penetrate. And in His light, is where I live. I do pray one day, you will join the truly free and open your heart to the love of God.
show me; where have I been "anti-truth" and/or "anti-free speech"?
So far, I'm not seeing that you do.
When you are better freed from the bondage of serving your own emotions (and trying to save face, etc.) then come and tell me all about being truly free.
Meanwhile, though I do not always "feel it", I'm free, already. The Lord has declared that very thing to me. So by faith, I am, regardless of anything that you, or whoever, may say to the contrary.
Have you ever heard the voice of the Lord? Directly, I mean. Not just encountering a concept of Him but quite actually hearing Him speak? You truly have no idea who you are talking to. lol
No. That was not "reason for being".
The reason for objections to yourself having tried to apply caucus designation to a religion forum thread (which forum DOES have it's own set of rules for posting comments) was for all to conform to the same rules.
Otherwise, one set of persons is free to mouth off and insult others, while those who are being insulted are constrained in their own speech.
What part of this do you not understand, oh ye stranger to the "religion forum" of FR, who should perhaps be paying future visits to General Chat?
What words so you think I'm afraid of? (you are talking to an old salt)
I'm sure not afraid of anything you may have to say. I doubt you could *think* your way out of a wet paper bag...
Seems to me you are the one in fear. I did not recommend "banning" any words. You bring yet again the same false accusations.
Ever read Denial of Death (Ernest C. Becker, 1974)? Here it is in online archive;
I don't know that I recommend trying to read in that latter form. It was tough enough to not have to near-constantly re-read paragraphs when reading it in physical book form.
Can you upload images of yourself doing so? We'd all like to see that. (you'd become internet famous!)
Fear is your biggest enemy, deal with your fear, and your life will become more enjoyable.
How about you deal with what’s being said to you (for a real change) — instead of trying to make it out that everything is everybody else’s fault?
Until that happens, I just see you and your co-horts as timid little mice, afraid of things you don't understand, and not worth of any of my consideration
Fear — Is that how you deal with the Freedom Caucus?
It doesn't fit. Sorry, but trhe 'safe space' you originally may have thought you had found was denied continuing access. For my own part in that, I neither have reason for, or will extend apology.
You flatter yourself while hanging around there in delusionville.
So far, you've not said a thing I'm afraid of. Every single post is packed with insult. I hand them back to you -- right back to point of origin. boo-hoo too bad, so sad.
You had a chance to make your case there, a little ways back.
The House Freedom Caucus dared to defy Ryan, and President Trump, too. Why you mad tho?
Sorry, you take my posts as insults, they are not meant to be, they are meant to help you by opening your eyes to truth. My hope for you and your co-horts is that one day, you will allow truth, the real truth to set you free.
Excuse me.
When they agreed to offer their support for Ryan to be Speaker of the House, there wasn't all that much in way of alternative possibilities.
When they did eventually offer support (even under some terms Ryan forced out of them) they did not give up their own positions as Representatives of the Districts which they Constitutionallyserved as representatives of when they dis so, either.
They owed Ryan no undying faithful future support simply for the fact Ryan agreed to allow himself be pushed forward (by other Republicans) to be Speaker.
Although it's a bit late to be invoking the forum rule, for future reference's sake; on the religion forum of FR it is against the rules to attribute motive ---which is exactly what you were doing in the above italicized example (of your own words).
When will you ever begin taking responsibility for your own words?
Disagreeing with your opinions, at least in my own case, does not equate to that being due to "fearing what... [I] ...don't understand".
First you abstain, then and only then could you claim the moral high ground, in opposing everything Ryan wants to do. But as it stands today, they are nothing more than political HACKS. No one here should be defending political hackery.
You didn’t answer my question.
Please put me on your ping list.
And how do you know what I understand or don’t understand. Are you a mind-reader?
Then by all means make a rational case -- for whatever it is you think is "truth". So far I haven't seen jack. When you do though (if you could, which I rather doubt) take care to leave me personally out of any wish you may have to attempt engaging in armchair psychoanalysis. If you tried that too much with me in person, eventually I just might slap the teeth right out of your head.
My cohorts? Who would that be?
Do you have any idea who I am?
I am frequently at odds with some of the same people who posted their own demurrals against how you had originally set up this thread. I've been at this for years now. Just ask them. I'm one of their fav-or-ite pains in the neck. I won't let go, and allow them to slip away so easily. No, they too must own up to what they say. I often see to that they do. That's why they can't stand me (for what they say often can rarely withstand my counter-argument).
But guess what? This time ---they were correct. I had to agree with those whom I frequently otherwise even vehemently, passionately disagree with.
You have some valuable truth you simply must share? Spit it out. Just say it, and say it plain. Then perhaps we'll see how true it really is. Meanwhile, stop talking smack.
I'm beginning to get the idea you think you are a Paul Ryan, and I am Freedom Caucus...and somehow...to not roll over and put all four paws in the air, in compliance with whatever you have to say, Mr. Speaker, is akin to treason.
The Freedom Caucus owes Ryan no such deference. He must convince them every bit as much (if not more) than they must persuade him.
Gotta' problem wid' dat'? Cash me outside.
