Re: Agnostics: irresponsible, spineless cowards for Satan

Isabella, I'm not too sure about you Sister.
It's nothing sinister, but there's something I can't quite put my finger on.
You are very nice, maybe a little too good to be true.

Angels, I totally agree! I read her post below, and then I read Genesis 3. And it started coming together

Ah, David. I couldn't possibly be less dangerous. I'm a little scrap of a thing, for one thing, and I'm intimidated by how much I don't know and can't figure. I wouldn't dare counsel, and I'd be mortified if I knew I'd interfered with anyone's growth. The voice, that can't be helped. Bitter and harsh isn't a criteria for worthy, is it?

The road to spiritual equilibrium is never easy; you don't need me to tell you this, David. Here, have some of this honey. If you like, you can use it to sweeten your fruit.

Genesis 3

1Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Brother David, I do believe you went and hit the nail on the head. We're dealing with a temptress here. Reverend Jim may want to work on her. She looks like the type of harlot he'd love to save.

God Bless

I agree, her lack of position is very tempting and exactly the kind of tactics Satan uses. Satan never says "do this", he says "I don't know, suite yourself". The "suit yourself" is were sin comes in because "yourself" doesn't know what is right, only Jesus can.

Ah, David. You lost me. Time will demonstrate, Mr. Goldman, that there's nothing to be nervous about. (Except maybe that Darth Vader guy. )

Do you need one of those deep tissue massages too? You're as tense as the Pastor Z. Trying to think things through when you're stressed is like herding rabbits. I'm telling you, by the time he gets down to your lumbar regions, all that tension is nothing but a fading memory.

A temptress? Gads. What exactly is it that you're tempted to do??

I have a plate of pasta, a wonderful mousse recipe, some kindness, and lots of literature and analysis to discuss by a warm campfire after the evening chill sets in. Nothing to fear there, gentlemen.

Johnny is tempted to do NOTHING with you.

Ma'am there really is something odd about you.

Are you some kind of witch?

Re: Agnostics: irresponsible, spineless cowards for Satan

Goodness. Isabella, as good as you look and sound, it's obvious to me that there is a lot more "there" there than meets the eye. Normally I like my women with some spunk and a brain (one of my monor sins for which I ask forgiveness daily). But your "Li'l ol' me" act won't wash around here. I've warned the girls off of having anything more to do with you. They mustn't be tempted.

Looks like this would be harlot is in need of a prayer circle before she is lost completely to Satan. I'm sure we can get 15 or so of our brothers in Christ to come out and help this poor soul. She desperately needs to be filled with the love of Jesus.

Count me in, Brother Remy. We should start ministering to her one at a time, giving her every inch of faith and testimony we got. Then we can all pounce on her at once as she has to deal with rebuking and prayer coming into her from all directions. At the climax of this Saving Session(r), we will drench her with baptismal water and she will close her eyes and tilt her head back in ecstacy after having received the Lord and we will see the Holy Spirit come all over her face.

This woman desperately needs to be Saved(r).

Re: Agnostics: irresponsible, spineless cowards for Satan

Agnostics, or some of them, anyway, recognize that there is a lot to consider in matters of faith, spirituality, and philosophy, and want more time to see which direction life will take them.

That's where they're wrong. There's not a lot to consider: God is right, Satan (and his tools, such as Muslims, Catholics, and uppity women) are wrong. What's there to consider about that?

After all, there are lots and lots of unbelievers (prison populations, "shock jocks", or most politicians, for example! ) around to merrily harass, whether the Agnostics bare their backs for a good lashing or not, aren't there?

God doesn't command us to harass "lots and lots" of unbelievers, he demands that we harass ALL of them. Remember 1 Samuel 15? God told Saul to kill all the Amalekites and all their animals, and then when he massacred the Amalekites but failed to kill all their sheep and oxen, God was enraged and cursed Saul, saying he was as bad as a witch, and that's pretty bad. You see now why these subversive agnostics are so dangerous. If your kitchen was full of a herd of vicious wild pigs, and I chased "lots and lots" of them out of the kitchen, but left a few to run around and attack you, would you be happy? Well, that's agnosticism in a nutshell.

When you look over a congregation of non-Republicans, Unitarians, for example, it's hard to think of them as insidious.

That just proves how insidious they are! They wouldn't be very good at being insidious if they appeared threatening and repulsive, now would they?

If people can worship in the way that feels most natural to them, they're more likely to do it often and sincerely. Does the Bible endorse any other kind of reverence?

Read this. Leviticus 10:1-6 tells us how Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu worshipped in the way that felt most natural to them, so God killed them with fire, and then told Aaron that he wasn't allowed to be upset about his sons being dead. Numbers 16 tells the story of how Korah worshipped God the way that felt most natural to him, so God killed him and 250 of his friends.

There is everything to fear there! Literature and analysis? What kind of devilish nonsense is that? I don't know what devilry you have planned, whether it involves reading Kafka's shorter works as bedtime stories at the end of an evening of unspeakable depravities or discussing de Beauvoir's stunning ability to capture the essential emptiness and despair of an unsaved soul. But whether it involves lengthy conversations about the vile blasphemies to be found in Chekov's work or having one's eyes scorched by a fresh-faced young deviant like Joey Comeau, there is nothing good - but plenty of evil - that can come of literary analysis. Why, start down that route and you'll end up reading monsters like John Kennedy Toole, and then where would you be?

But, Confederacy -- ah, never mind.

Ye Gads. Gentlemen. Can we set aside these, ah, assumptions and proposed solutions just long enough to discuss our differences over some pizza (with steak, sweet sausage and onions) and sangria? You'll have a chance to see for yourselves that neither books nor I pose any threat, and Joey Comeau needn't even come up in conversation.

Are you opposed to being infused with the Holy Spirit? We only want to help you and the prayer circle is your best bet. Never doubt the power of prayer.
