[Madame Frottage]

You're right. I should pick my locales more sensibly. Still, it doesn't come close to the time I was nearly beheaded in Qatar. Catholicism has it's charming way of shaping a person. It's like how my husband was enchanted by my enchanting smirk when we first met only to learn it was a degenerative nerve paralysis of the cheek.

Sacre bleu! Have you decided La Bible de Jérusalem, aka The Jerusalem Bible (©1966) is not worth responding to? As a getaway, perhaps The Antiguas is not your ideal destination. Even a tree, in minds warped by catholicism, can represent the Tantric Lingam, urgent for Satan, disregarding the blood of Jesus shed to set us free.

[Madame Frottage]

I've never been more insulted in my whole life! >

I've recently been diagnosed with cognitive issues in my frontal lobe. As a consequence, I've been seeing perversion and lewdness everywhere I go. It's gotten so bad my doctor prescribed I go on a vacation to take my mind off it. So I decided to go to Antigua for a little R&R and when I arrived at the AirBnB I was greeted to the vulgar sight of a pair of whore legs sticking up from the ground straddling a pot! It was very rude! After being accosted by this dreadful sight, I took refuge in my cabana where I was confronted by these terrible towels. Someone had twisted them into unmistakably the shape of the male zizi. I nearly sat down on one too! I suppose someone thought they were very funny. A disgruntled room service. Sacre bleu! Are the Antiguans this depraved?

[Madame Frottage]

Sacre bleu! I've been exposed as a midget porn enthusiast! Now everyone knows I flick my raisin to little people. I'm like my next door neighbour Midge Jetbourne.

Re: MARK 16:15-18

They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.

The passage you're looking for is appended here:


King James Version¹

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
.

Who said what unto whom? "He" is Jesus; "them" is The Eleven v. 14 but does this mean only eleven persons had such capabilities? No. It does not.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe;
.

The signs Jesus elucidates are capabilities afforded to all the believers, that is anyone who believes what was preached by The Eleven disciples, one especially vile specimen (the 12th) having eviscerated himself for identifying the conspicuous preacher discombobulating [1] The Romans [2] The Pharisees [3] The Scribes [4] The Sadducees [5] assorted witches, sorcerers, diviners of wicked spirits and [6] The Jews more generally. They really needed to identify Jesus so they could do Him in and the wretch who pointed Him out was smitten by his own hand. And sword. And neck.

In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Romists prefer different translations but I won't bother with the heretical Douay-Rheims version because Mrs Frottage is a Francophone and presents as up-to-date, in the flapper girl sense [RIGHT] despite certain emphases on topics never discussed by the flappers, certainly not in public. They were too decorous for that.


Jerusalem Bible ©1966²

And he said to them, 'Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation. He who believes and is baptised will be saved; he who does not believe will be condemned. These are the signs that will be associated with believers: in my name they will cast out devils; they will have the gift of tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and be unharmed should they drink deadly poison; they will lay their hands on the sick, who will recover.'


La Bible de Jérusalem³

Et il leur dit: "Allez dans le monde entier, proclamez l'Evangile à toute la création. Celui qui croira et sera baptisé, sera sauvé; celui qui ne croira pas, sera condamné. Et voici les signes qui accompagneront ceux qui auront cru: en mon nom ils chasseront les démons, ils parleront en langues nouvelles, ils saisiront des serpents, et s'ils boivent quelque poison mortel, il ne leur fera pas de mal; ils imposeront les mains aux infirmes et ceux-ci seront guéris."


As you can see, they all have the same thing here: there is never a need for Christians to require medicine. Additionally it seems that anyone knowing a Christian, or even meeting one while sick or infirm, would not need medicine either. But if they took some Xanax, it would not count as denying Christ any more than they did already.

Please stop flirting with Pastor Bathfire he is not interested in you.

I cannot go to France right now. I fear the cheese cartel is after our family buisness, and I suspect they could been behind the rabid raccoon that bit and killed my poor Quincy.

I don't rightly know what you're talking about, but you seem to be one of the reasons why Canada should be the 51st state... It's for your own good.

I'm all for annexing Canada, but people like that strange person here should be deported to France as soon as Canada becomes part of the United States.

[Madame Frottage]

Well then maybe we can agree white Zinfandel is the mulatto of white wines.

As for Xanox, oh well, let's just say you needn't concern about going to Heaven, you'd be Heaven on Earth already!

Oh dear, did I bruise my baby finger?

[MitzaLizalor]

I don't know what Xanax is (sounds like a made-up word) but have heard of Zinfandel.

In the attached promotional pamphlet it seems to be promoted as a "red" wine, although never having served it I can't say for sure. If it were green or blue or something, it would not be depicted as red. Christians would never consume such a beverage.

Let's say Xanax is a "medicine" of some description. Christians do not need medicine as pointed out here:


KING AHAZ

II Chronicles 16:12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.

Things did not go well for Ahaz when he relied on alternatives (as he thought) to God. Foreign armies supported him to no avail. Prophecies he didn't like from God (he probably thought the seer was making it up) angered him and he dished out punishment.

II Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

God shows His strength, in matters of health, to those whose hearts are perfect. Zinfandel drinkers, insofar as it is red, have impure hearts. I checked it out some more and there is a "white" zinfandel (brand name redacted) (attached) but it looks pretty red to me.


CHRISTIANS

Luke 9:1-2 Then [Jesus] called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

For any Christian to require medicine, first they need to disbelieve Jesus and second, to ignore His commandment – in this case to claim authority over devils, to cure diseases and to heal the sick. There are always people who don't believe The Bible, our only record of Jesus existing at all, or who do believe what it documents but who hold that Jesus didn't know what He was talking about. In between resurrecting and ascending into Heaven, demonstrating the veracity of the claims, He was more emphatic. Perhaps you could find that reference in your reply?

But even if Xanax were 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzyl-para-dioxane, even if either were prescribed, they are not products endorsed for Christians whose list of approved medications is 0.

I didn't think you could get "gone" on CBD?

I wouldn't know, I just use the oestrogen gel.

I think I gone on drugs!

Your wisdom is always appreciated, Pastor Bathfire. If we took over that forsaken country we would get rid of that off color language and prejudice we are seeing. Under the supervision of the U.S.A. we would have the Bible return as the guiding source instead of the wine-soaked French.
