Come on, Landover lunatics don't worry for anyone but themselves and their wrong way to see the world, you don't accept nothing that goes against the rules of your CULT

Again you are wrong. I am worried about your soul as Jesus says that everyone who is not a Christian will end up in hell. You are clearly not a Christian as you do not believe in teachings of Christ.

You see, just because you are so hateful does not mean that everyone else is as well. I pray for you.

Re: Jesus was among the wealthiest 5 percent!

Again you are missing the point. You just said you don't care what Jesus has to say, so you are spitting in His face. You should leave your heathen ways behind and become a Christian, or you will end up in hell. I am just worried about you.

I don't care what the Bible says, hurting another people is wrong, specially when you're doing it in some kind of racist attack.

There is nothing racists about this, Brother Worthington shows equal tough love to poor whites.

What kind of Christian beat a person just because is from another country or have less money tan oneself?

Someone willing to help motivate the poor to stop making the choices that make them poor.

While we welcome your persecution, you are missing the point. It's not us that you need to impress. You should not make God unhappy.

Re: Jesus was among the wealthiest 5 percent!

Jesus is clear, for beating to be effective it must cause injury. The Scriprure has been quoted frequently. If it were not so why did God arrange for Jesus to be whipped and injured in order to heal us?



.Proverbs 20:30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

I Peter 2:21b-24 Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. KJV

Re: Jesus was among the wealthiest 5 percent!

I certainly am glad that the scholarly research about Jesus' socioeconomic background has finally been established with certainty, once and for all. I am sick of hearing from hippies, pinkos, communists and liberals that Jesus worked for the poor. Please excuse the rough language, but to that I say, BALDERDASH!

How do I know? Because I feel the spirit of Jesus in my heart. When I beat the Asian slave laborers in my factories, I feel the spirit of Jesus. When I evict the Cathylick family for being late on their rent two days or making noise after 10 p.m., I feel the spirit of Jesus deep in my heart. When I hear the screams of the heathens being punished in my basement, the very essence of the spirit of Jesus fills my soul and makes my heart race. When I hear the jibberish cries of the Filipino mothers as I give the signal for the bulldozer to bury their children's charred and mutilated bodies in a mass grave out behind the factory, it's the spirit of Jesus that I feel deep in my soul.

And I'm glad that there is finally undisputed, rock-solid evidence that Jesus was a take-no-prisoners capitalist. If you think about it, it all makes perfect sense-- for how else are the poor supposed to LEARN that they're just a bunch of worthless fetid meat, made for the exploitation of their betters?

What kind of sick monster are you? You're not a Christian!

Re: Jesus was among the wealthiest 5 percent!

I think this thread as such powerful truth about Christ I am going to bump it up. With all the new Obamaite cool aid drinkers out there there need to hear what The Lord's TRUE position on socialism is.

Re: Jesus was among the wealthiest 5 percent!

Dear Master Bathfire, You err on several counts.[some amusing but elementary errors deleted]

Cromwell’s warts were indeed a sign – they were a sign and reminder that he was not perfect – something he himself humbly acknowledged – only God is perfect.

Your explanation of Christ’s speaking Latin is superficially credible (or, in Latin “bollix”) but, a deeper consideration would show it to be merely the start of an unfounded and biblically dubious legend:

The ruler’s head was placed on coins as a symbol of power and authority – all Christ had to know was that the graven image was that of Caesar, the rest flowed.

At the interview with Pilate, there would have been an interpreter – why should a Governor, who had to deal with (to him) an endless amount of uneducated rabble all gibbering in some incomprehensible dialect of some local tongue, bother to learn a raft of foreign languages or expect everyone to speak Latin? No, the place would have been swarming with local interpreters.

I’d draw your attention to the time of the Norman Conquest of England (how embarrassing to be defeated by the French) the nobility spoke Norman French. If they wanted to know what the peasants were babbling about, they would use an interpreter.


On the question of the word ‘Lord’, if I may refresh your memory, you will recall the article from The Pall Mall Gazette, December 5, 1897, Wednesday, Page 18, clearly states that the origin of “Lord” is “Law Ward”. Hence someone who keeps / administers the law; a fair partial definition of one aspect of God and little to do with monarchy.


As far as God being English, a charming conceit: God created the world 6000 years ago; hence He was there before the division of the tribes after the flood. Need I say more? God merely favors nations – He favored England because it rejected the vicar of Rome, England fell into his displeasure because (as explained) of the blasphemy of its monarchs and naturally America became His favorite nation.


As for the Captain of the Mayflower, as explained, it was God’s guidance that did the job and with that behind you, an Irishman, a Polack or even a jigaboo could have succeeded.


Despite all your errors, I feel that you have the potential makings of a Christian (if not a True Christian™) if you can dispel any thought that Britain is anything more than a cesspit of moral decay and depravity and accept that the anglican’t church is a nest of queers bent on being bent.

Re: Jesus was among the wealthiest 5 percent!

Dear Pastor Ezekiel,

Please re read, nowhere did I claim God was a Brit. He is an Englishman, which is well known amongst all civilised people, another Nationality entirely.

Regards & & respect & forgiveness too, as you are perhaps unaware of the defining nations of Great Britain As God is Omnipotent He would not need a Passport, a tad dangerous to suggest such a thing (beware lightening strikes!)

From the Time Travellers Guide to Stuart England

In 1634, William Prynne, a Puritan, is clamped in the stocks and has his ears cut off. He's offended Charles I by publishing Histriomastix, a massive attack on the profanity of stage plays. Charles I's wife, Henrietta Maria, is particularly annoyed by Prynne's denunciation of female actors, whom she employs for private entertainment.
The Prynne case shows how important religion is in 17th-century England. Everyone is obsessed by God, and every important event – from the Gunpowder Plot to the Popish Plot, and from the Civil Wars to the colonisation of Ireland – has a religious dimension.



God is an Englishman
Most English people believe that they are a 'godly nation', the chosen people. But religion is a tricky area – disputes about how to honour and praise God result in heated arguments and violent confrontations.
The fear is that Protestant England – widely seen as a free country – will be subverted by Roman Catholics who, in league with Continental powers, will impose a tyranny and force everyone to worship as Catholics.
Everyone, except for a tiny number of secret atheists, sees God's hand in everyday events, so wars, plagues and fires are all divine retribution for people's sins.
Monarchs are obeyed because they are God's appointed rulers (the 'divine right of kings'); the Bible is the most widely read book; and sermons from the pulpit are the equivalent of the television news.
Protestants and Catholics
The official religion is Protestantism, a reformed version of Christianity, and travellers from foreign lands who believe in Islam or Judaism are seen as heathens. Protestantism became the official religion with Henry VIII's reformation in the 1530s, when he split with the pope in Rome because he wanted a divorce from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, who appeared to be unable to produce a son.
Since then, most of England's monarchs have been Protestants, although a sizeable minority of the population – an estimated 40,000 in 1603, mainly among the upper classes – remain Catholic. (See also Ireland).
When a monarch marries a Catholic – as Charles I does when he weds Henrietta Maria – or becomes one, as James II does, there is trouble. The religious policies of Charles lead to civil war, and his son James is forced to abdicate in 1689.
The existence of a Catholic minority also has other effects – people are paranoid about secret plots and fear civil unrest and invasion.
Puritans
As well as Catholics, there is another minority: the extreme Protestants known as Puritans, who are religious fundamentalists and want to reform the Church and society and make them much more pure. They believe that individuals can have direct communication with God without the need for bishops and an elaborate Church hierarchy.
Puritanism is a religion of the word (that is, the Bible) and of the individual. It stresses the role of divine providence in everyday events.
For example, when the Puritan diarist Adam Martindale's second son John – named after an earlier son who died young – also dies in infancy, Martindale and his wife think it might be a sign from God. They fear 'lest we had offended God by striving with his Providence to have a John'.
What do ordinary people think about Puritans? They are less than enthusiastic. In 1616, the people of Lancashire complain that local Puritans are trying to stop their usual Sunday amusements, including dancing and archery.
One Wiltshire girl describes her Puritan minister's sermons as 'bibble babble'. In 1633, James Nicholson of Yorkshire declares that 'I care not a fart of my tail' for any minister.
Power
When the Puritans get into power after the execution of Charles I in 1649, they close theatres and try to impose a godly pattern of behaviour on the 'unruly poor'.
They also fight furiously among themselves: the Independents, who believe that congregations should be self-governing, squabble with Presbyterians, who reckon they should bow to a central authority. In the last years of the century, a climate of toleration gradually arises as people become exhausted by religious bigotry.
In 1656, Oliver Cromwell allows Jewish people to settle in London for the first time since they were expelled in 1290. A synagogue opens in Creechurch Lane, Aldgate.
Radical sects
The differences between the smaller religious groups can be baffling. Anabaptists, plain Baptists, Presbyterians or Independents have been known to engage strangers in doctrinal disputes. Other radical groups include Quakers, Shakers, Ranters and Muggletonians, as well as dozens of weird and wonderful millenarian sects that emerge during the social upheaval of the Civil War.
Many groups, such as the Fifth Monarchy Men, believe in the immanent second coming of Christ and will try and persuade you that the end is nigh. Their proponents are often lower class in origin and may get into trouble with the authorities. (See DIY politics)
Some sects, such as the Quakers – founded in the 1640s by George Fox – believe that true Christians should 'quake' in awe before God. They think that everyone, including women, has the right to speak out during
meetings.

It is frequently stated that “God is an Englishmen”. I shall make no comment upon the veracity of this statement, beyond observing that no one can actually disprove it. I concede that if God is an Englishman, then maybe he is an ex-pat and has taken omnipresent residence in California.
