"I love how you have a non-gender specific screen name and then make snide inferences about mine."

Snide inferences?   I'm merely stating the plain, unvarnished, 100% truth!   (Do you have a problem hearing the truth, Elsie?)   Let me double check my facts right now.   Are you not a male, who, for whatever reason, chooses to use a female screen name, "Elsie"?   (If that is not the case, I will be more than happy to retract that statement, and apologize for the honest mistake.)

In my post 206, I also included a Bible text (Deuteronomy 22:5 - more plain truth from the Holy Word of God), which shows that men who dress up in women's clothing are an abomination to the Lord God.   I'm not sure how God views men who dress up in girly names, but I know that Bruce Jenner first changed his masculine name to the fruity/girly name Caitlyn Jenner, before he started dressing up in women's clothing, then went ahead and had the sex change operation.   I figured a friendly biblical warning might prove helpful to anyone who might be contemplating such an action.   (Do you have a problem reading that Holy Bible text I quoted for you there, Elsie?)

"I love to see you trashing around in inches deep water while hollering, 'I'm DROWNING!!!'"

What a weird, bizarre, and delusional reply!   Like many of your posts, Elsie, there is not one thing true contained in your post 215.   I am not "trashing" around in any water, and I'm not hollering anything.   A rational reading would show you that my post 204 is simply showing you step by step what is wrong with your woefully erroneous interpretation and application of the quote, "Call no man father", which you post so often.

I've aleady spent more time in this thread then I wanted to, so I'm outta here.   I wish you all the best.

Because it is akin to a liberal invoking Westboro Baptist in an argument against homosexuality. What sons and daughters of Catholic parents are even neglecting them their old age because they hate Catholicism? Meanwhile it is your church which officially consigns the likes of me to Hell fire. That comment, it seems to me, is excessive rhetoric and polemics;

Instead, let us love the LORD our God with all our heart, soul, and strength; and our neighbor as ourself; giving none offense, neither the Jew, nor the Gentile, nor the one holy catholic apostolic Church.

[Mark17]

Mark I have a hide as thick as a tortoise shell!

😁 Then I suspect there is no need to tan your hide when you’re dead, Fred.

Keep suffering - I love it!

We wanted to go to the beach today, but this is the monsoon season, so we sometimes have to rough it. 😁 I oftentimes wonder, how that much water can fall out of the sky. Definitely enough to fill up the billabong. 😁

[Songcraft]

Sorry, Mark17, but your post caught my eye when I was preparing to leave this thread, and I could not resist posting this (for you and your friends there).

It’s ok bro. 😁 Yes, it was Rolf Harris. I just hesitated to mention that, because of the unpleasantries associated with his name, but I liked his music, with the didgeridoo and the wobble board. Good night to you too, but here, it’s actually late afternoon, and it is the monsoon season. 👎

[melsec]

Haha. I loved Rolf as a kid. He was an extremely good painter too. Not right to treat young ladies like that. I suppose we all have sins we wouldnt want the whole world to know even if they are not illegal as far as the world goes. Its a lot finer a line than most people would want to believe about themselves. Same with Cosby etc He didnt need to do all that stuff. He was athletic and popular. Being powerful and rich can certainly magnify any issues one might have. Im glad Jesus is standing in for me!

[af_vet_1981]

Haha. I loved Rolf as a kid. ...

Had no idea who this man was ...

Now I know ... yech ...

Rolf Harris trial shattered image of avuncular entertainer ...

The majority of the counts on which Harris was tried related to claims that he began grooming and abusing the childhood best friend of his daughter, Bindi, when the girl was 13. Even if Harris had been acquitted it would have proved the most mixed of courtroom victories, given that his version of events involved confessing to a long sexual relationship with the damaged and vulnerable girl while insisting that the affair began when she was 18.

The Australian-born TV star had no option but to concede the point given that the victim's father kept an abjectly contrite handwritten letter Harris sent him in the 1990s, after she told her family, apologising for the "misery" he had caused the woman.

...

The truth, of course, was more damning: he groomed and groped a child, his daughter's friend, gaining a sexual hold over her that lasted till she finally broke away in her late 20s, while also assaulting a series of other young women and children.

What the jury was not told was that during the time of his relationship with Bindi's friend, Harris hosted an educational video highlighting child abuse issues. Kids Can Say No, filmed in 1985, has the entertainer talking to a group of primary school-aged children about what he calls "yes feelings" and "no feelings", with one role play portraying a young girl being improperly touched by the father of her friend.

"Some people don't act right with kids, and they need help," Harris tells the children. "You can't protect them from trouble that they themselves have caused, and it's better to say something so that you and the family can get the help you need."

• But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
• Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
• Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
• And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
• Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

Excuse me, but do you have an actual argument with all this? Denying faith as well as denying the faith both have negative consequences, but if you are trying to support for wrest RC purgatory out of this then it is simply eisegesis.

It is evident the Messiah taught that disciples (little flock) who did not watch would be punished when He returned, and at levels commensurate with the offences.

[Mark17]

Had no idea who this man was ...

I have known about him since the 60s. He liked the didgeridoo and wobble board. He was in Sydney, when I was there, but I never saw him. I remember Circular Quay, the Sydney Opera House, Pinch Gut, The Pylon Lookout, the Australia Square building, the Australia Hotel, Kings Cross, and Bondi Beach. Oh, the memories. 😁😂🇦🇺

[Elsie]

Don't worry, Elsie, I already went ahead and answered all those questions I repeatedly gave you, in my post 204.

It must have been buried in your volume of words.

Why is it again that you IGNORE Jesus plain words?

Call no man father.

[Elsie]

My mistake.

Finally you admit having made at least one.

[Elsie]

I'm merely stating the plain, unvarnished, 100% truth! (Do you have a problem hearing the truth,...

(Do you have a problem reading that Holy Bible text I quoted for you there?)

This one?

Call no man father.

[Mark17]

By the way bros. I could flat out move some sheet metal around the sky. I worked one of the busiest airports in the world. I hacked the program, though I sometimes wonder how. I inquired about becoming an air traffic controller at Sydney, NSW. They were more than willing, to let me control aircraft there, but said I would need to give up my American citizenship, in order to do that. I said thanks, but no thanks, but at least I asked about it.

[Elsie]

...which you post so often.

But MUCH less often than you IGNORE the clearly spoken words of JESUS.

Dear Mr.(?) Songcraft:

 

 Thank you for taking the time to give me such kind and thoughtful comments. I appreciate hearing both positive negative comments from our FR responders, and yours were particularly rewarding. For over 20 years, I have worked to make the best replies to any and all who will communicate with me; no matter the level of their intellect  - and at an economical price; too.

 

 Comments like yours help me feel that I am achieving that goal. Since you are interested in good exegesis, I am enclosing a quote from an alleged Mary and some scripture that tends to address them.

 

 I hope you enjoy them.

 

Sincerely, ELSIE

 

 

Whosoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces. Signal Graces are those special and unique Graces to help sanctify us in our state in life. See the remaining promises for an explanation for which these will consist. St. Louis de Montfort states emphatically that the best and fastest way to union with Our Lord is via Our Lady [True Devotion to Mary, chapter four].

 

 

 

 

Oh; I'm sorry; but there seems to be NO scripture that indicates ANYTHING like the above. 

Oh well; I'm sure your chosen relifgion has given you ample reason to believe it anyway.

I dont know how people in such privileged positions think that they can betray peoples trust and get away with it. I ran a youth group for a few years - I always made sure there was another adult with me when doing so - not that I did not trust myself but I did not ever wanted to be accused of something later. Something I learnt from reading Billy Graham’s book in which he said he would never allow himself to be in the position of where he was alone with woman. Seemed like wisdom to me! Sydney is just larger - all those things you remember would still be there. The Harbor is still lovely but I wouldnt give much for the rest of the city. Oversized and very expensive. I dont know how normal people live there!

A friend of mine used to work at McDonald's and then he switched to Jack-In-The-Box and now a lot of people say he's much happier. How much this is due to his job change and how much is due to other factors in his life, this I do not know. All I know is everybody says he's happier.

Likewise...

A friend of mine used to worship in the Catholic manner and then he switched to the way that Prots do it and now a lot of people say he's much happier.

How much this is due to his church change and how much is due to other factors in his life, this I do not know.
All I know is everybody says he's happier.
