It ain't like she ain't been reading along.<br /><br /><i>"...you're faced with how we interpret it because it is not that plain and simple."</i> <br /><br />It's only complicated for those unwilling to change in order to conform to it's teachings. For those of us who place God's Will and Christ's teachings above all else, it's incredibly easy to understand. Your idea of milk vs meat is as skewed as your idea of a living Christ.<br /><br /><i>"You think you have Truth wrapped up in gingham."</i><br /><br /><i>"You're not familiar with, because you are scared of, Truth who is a vision of glory, living in heaven and active in our lives."</i> <br /><br />You've rejected Truth in favor of wordly desires and created for yourself a false god that justifies your unwillingness to conform to REAL Truth.<br /><br /><i>"No wonder you piecemeal the Bible."</i> <br /><br />No one here has done that. It is a given that we expect you to read, study and understand the entire Bible. Because you've demonstrated that you don't understand, because you've studied poorly what little you've read, requires that we break it down for you into smaller, more easily digestable bites. Yet still you choke.<br /><br /><i>"Even it is too big, bold, and generous to face when one is afraid."</i> <br /><br />Which is why we break it down for you, to allay your fears of having to truly do the heavy lifting of carrying one's cross, which in your case must be considerable.<br /><br /><i>"But Marshall helps you cover that up and hide it under leather covers..."</i> <br /><br />Mom2 is quite capable of understanding God's Truth without my help, as she shows constantly. You purposely ignore and/or distort what lies within those covers pretending that you are abiding some fantasy "living Christ" who speaks only to liberals and homosexuals.<br /><br /><i>"and strained through a misguided labeling of others who are the targets of your fears, anxieties, and anger at the way the world changes on you."</i> <br /><br />Any labelling we do is hardly misguided, but instead imposed upon us by those who are self-labeled by their actions. We don't target them, we simply acknowledge where they are going wrong. Any fear or anxiety we feel is for their own souls, and any anger we feel is toward heretics like yourself who would enable those who need more guidance, heretics like you who change with the world rather than holding fast to the eternal and unchanging Truth.<br /><br /><i>"It's called faith in the living Christ."</i> <br /><br />A lie if ever there was one. It's called, "changing Christ to conform with the world." Good luck with that. For us, we won't try it, thank you very much. It ain't stepping out, it's stepping in it.Marshal Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054268632726520871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149193.post-77289404857846213802009-08-07T12:30:15.591-05:002009-08-07T12:30:15.591-05:00It's called faith in the living Christ.

Feodor can't do it. I don't see how you can with no reliance on anything more tangible or substantive than some fantasy notion of "Grace". It's funny though, in a pathetic, progressive kinda way, that you won't stick your neck out to preach Biblical teaching to others, but you're so certain that what I do, say and believe is unChristian. Upon what could you possibly base such a position with your lack of regard for Scripture?<br /><br /><i>"Yeesh. I need a shower. And I encourage you in your desire to leave the UCC."</i> <br /><br />I'm sure you do need a shower, but that's totally irrelevant. As for the ucc, I dunno. I've been vacilating and think I'm needed to stand against its heresies. Well-meaning people are being led astray.<br /><br /><i>":-) "Poor Marshall, ranted himself right on the tracks of oncoming scripture... and was flattened like a pancake."<br /><br />I HATE when that happens."</i> <br /><br />Ranted? Hmm. Thought I was just talking. But flattened? Not hardly. Scripture lifts me up <i>because</i> I don't play games with it. It strengthens me because I don't seek loopholes to justify my sinful compulsions. It lightens me by showing me truth that you and Feodor ignore for the sake of worldly things. I feel sorry for the both of you.<br /><br /><i>"I'd bet a dollar that I am the only person here with a pair of bib overalls hangin' in the closet."</i> <br /><br />I won't take that bet.Marshal Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054268632726520871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149193.post-7765432544280065722009-08-06T00:41:20.873-05:002009-08-06T00:41:20.873-05:00Feo said,

Now you must stop doing it.<br /><br /><i>"But here you are, losing the laws and opinions, the ethical and religious tenor of your times."</i> <br /><br />What the hell does <i>this</i> mean?<br /><br /><i>"You, Erik Prince, the members of C Street."</i> <br /><br />What the hell does <i>this</i> mean?<br /><br /><i>"I'll stick with the 200 million others in my country who find trying to control God and people to be a dark, evil strain you wring on an altar lately converted from the Klan."</i> <br /><br />So will I. I don't see how that's relevant here, unless you think I'm trying to control Him who I seek to follow. Naw. That would make no sense.<br /><br /><i>"Jesus + 0 = X"</i> <br /><br />What the hell does <i>this</i> mean?<br /><br />I've asked that question three times. I really don't mean to seek an explanation. I doubt you're capable of making your own blatherings any more understandable.
