Re: My Intro

Are you under-aged? I prefer to discuss seriously.

You met a guy named Jesus, I met a guy named Jesus. I'm just trying to establish some common ground here by seeing if it's the same guy or if we can rule that out. Was your Jesus a bartender as well?

I have 2 uncles who are call Jesús. It's no they because we have a lots of the Jesuses here in Spain. Is for this we got nickednames like Chus, Jesu, Josu, Jesusín (which was name of my chihuahua we used have before he die) and others nickednems too.

Perhap a lots of hispanics people is call Jesús. Isn't mean is Jesucristo. Of course.

I met a Frank once. Isn't mean nothing especial, are it?

"...We do not interpret it."

If you don't interpret it, how do you understand it? If you don't understand it, how can you apply it correctly?

And as for the "killing" part, well, I'd rather walk away. Real courage/power is not in the taking away of a life but in giving it. Real courage is walking away even if you are a 2nd dan black belt in taekwondo. Take care.

We don't need to interpret. The 1611 King James Bible has already been interpreted by scholars from ancient Hebrew and Koine Greek into English. If I said, "John sat on the chair" there is no need for interpretation. We simply accept the fact that there was somebody called John, and there was a chair, and John sat in the chair. Interpretation is what you do if one text is in one language and you want somebody to understand that text in another language. Let me ask you a question. If you speak English fluently and as a first language and you meet somebody that speaks English fluently and as a first language, do you hire a translator to translate the conversation for you? If you do, then you have more money than brains. "If they pay a penie or two pence more for the reddinesse of them... let them looke to that, a foole and his money is soone parted."

If you only have a 2nd degree black belt in taekwondo you had better run away.

My parents are dead. Why do you have to be so disrespectful of the deceased?

The word 'interpret' has several meanings in English. It means 'to find the meaning of something', 'to make sense of something', 'to ascribe meaning to something', 'to translate something'... You only ascribed your meaning of 'interpret' to the last sense. When I said 'interpret' I was actually referring to 'making sense of something'.
Now, let me ask you a question. When Jesus said, 'I give unto you power to trend upon serpents and scorpions.. and nothing shall by any means hurt you...(Luke 10:19)', are you saying you've literally stepped on a snake (a king cobra or a western brown, for instance) or a scorpion just to prove the validity of Jesus's claim? If not, what are you waiting for? Don't you believe our Lord Jesus? I'm just borrowing from your logic. Mind, one interpretation of the word 'serpent' is a snake. There are other interpretations of course, but that's just my point.
Making sense or getting the meaning of something could easily be the difference between right and wrong.

What have you done to EARN any respect, boy? You come in here with a poor attitude, you pretend to teach a scholar like Bible Student, you are disrespectful to the womenfolk, you call my parents' child-rearing into question, etc. etc.

As soon as you DO something to earn some respect, I'm sure you will start earning some positive reputation and stop receiving infractions. In the meantime, "boy" is the sobriquet you richly deserve.

Mari, are you as cool as I think you are? You don't seem like the others in this forum. You don't post hateful mails, at least not generally. That's a good thing. Keep it up.

Are you speaking for 'Bible Student' now? I was waiting for him to reply my post so step aside and stop interrupting. Go suck a thumb or whatever it is you do when you're not sucking your thumb, kiddo.

You're the uninvited guest here, you rude monster!

This forum is the property of Landover Baptist Church for church members to discuss the 1611 King James Bible and enjoy fellowship with each other.

Were you born in a Yugoslavian slaughterhouse, you vicious savage? Don't you EVER tell a True Christian what to do in their own home, do you understand me?

Now learn some manners or leave, Mr. Smiley.

Obviously your parents didn't teach you any reading skills. Otherwise you would have learned from the threads in these forums about respecting every True Christian(tm) at LBC. You have 4 hours to compose yourself and apologize to Brother Zechariah. If you were as old as you pretend to be you would know that old age does not necessarily grant one wisdom. Even though Brother Zechariah might be younger in years, in knowledge he is obviously your senior.

Mr GuySmiley,


I think you have couple of misconceptions how you should act on God's favourite discussion forum.

- Interrupting you on discussion forum? While you were waiting for a reply? You do understand that this is not how discussion forums work? Since when are you able to dictate who takes part in this discussion?

- You should never ever be rude towards True Christians who even bother to share their wisdom to you by answering there. Listen to them and take their words near your heart.

Proverbs 1:5:
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels


God's love,

LW

Great dodge of the question about my example of John sitting on the chair. Pray tell, how you would make sense of that?

Now, let me ask you a question.

Nope. That won't work with me. You should really read my profile and my introductory posts. I actually taught psychology at a rather large university and wrote books on the subject. I'm not one of those simple minds for whom you can answer a question with a question. Your turn.

When Jesus said, 'I give unto you power to trend upon serpents and scorpions.. and nothing shall by any means hurt you...(Luke 10:19)', are you saying you've literally stepped on a snake (a king cobra or a western brown, for instance) or a scorpion just to prove the validity of Jesus's claim?

There are other interpretations of course, but that's just my point.

I guess it is natural for an atheist like you to call Jesus a liar? Why are you even here on our friendly church forum?

Making sense or getting the meaning of something could easily be the difference between right and wrong.

Or do you suppose obeying something and accepting the God-breathed words could easily be the difference between right and wrong?
