Re: I was here before I lost my mind

you should have read it on my level of intelligence (grow up and act your age, when i was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

1 Corinthians 13:11)

You do it again!!

If you wish to stay here you must stop putting words into Jesus’ mouth!

Nobody likes to have things put into their mouths that are unseemly: you are literally raping Jesus’ face and mouth (metaphorically) when you put words into his mouth.

You are figuratively forcing the full girth of a length of turgid mansteel into his crying facehole: are you mad?

What’s wrong with you?

Re: I was here before I lost my mind

That's your problem Mr. Grice. I was never a child. I was raised very early on to behave as a respectable lady; a miniature adult really.

And yet, we never really do "grow up", do we? We're all God's children; at least, men are God's sons (1 John 3:1), whereas we womenfolk are an inferior extension. (Genesis 2:23)

Re: I was here before I lost my mind

You added ‘grow up and act your age’.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Why do you continually reject Christ?

Re: I was here before I lost my mind

well if you think about it

Why on Earth would anyone do that? Thinking just leads to sinning which is followed by suffering in Hell.

There is no need to think as The Bible tells us everything we need to know. All we need to do is blindly obey it and they we will be rewarded with an eternal stay in Heaven!

I made your question slightly more readable, my dearest Harsha. We cannot expect our stable genius here to see this question buried inside of a chunk of text.


You are an excellent example of True Christian™ patience, Brother Nobar. However, I wonder if Curtis is too smart to 1) play the video and 2) follow the instructions in it?

Re: I was here before I lost my mind

My Dear Mrs./Miss (I am not sure which) Shah,
Thank you so much for your utterly enlightening post. Your kind words, whilst very flattering, are totally undeserved. BTW, you have been totally unoffensive and I take no offence at your offensiveness.


Now, moving on to Mrs./Mr. Grice, or whatever he calls him/herself. He/She was asked, in another thread, whether he was male or female and requested to provide proof. He/She failed to provide said proof so, due to his addled posts and responses, I assumed he/she was a woman and have continued to address her/him as such. All I have tried to do with him/her is show him/her that the path he/she is walking can only lead to one place, Hell.


Now, moving on to more important things, do you have any recipes for Samoosas and Pakhora? Have the rivers in your town turned yellow like those of Bradford?


The Bible tells us that all an elephant is good for is ivory.


Ezekiel 27:6
Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Chittim.


There are at least 17 other places where this is made clear. So, the only thing I will be doing with an elephant is making benches and thrones. I will certainly not be touching one in the inappropriate manner you are suggesting.


Thank you for taking the time to read this.

P.S. If you have a good recipe for a Mutton Khorma I would appreciate it.

Re: I was here before I lost my mind

we could get somewhere

I've seen a number of definitions for Heaven. Some disagree with The Bible about its location. Others vary when explaining why we need Jesus to get there. There is no such thing as cause and effect to earn merit points except in the rudimentary case of all deserving torture from birth. The Bible explains it like this:

Luke 13:22-24, 28 [Jesus] went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.….There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

Some people say that disbelievers will simply be extinguished. In the above passage they'd need to say, "extinguished after a weeping and tooth gnashing episode." How can we decide whether it's perpetual torment or oblivion? We don't need to. Jesus has already told us. It's permanent.

Mark 9:45-46 If thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Then again I've listened agog as maniacs propound ignorance, "Wow!" (they talk like that a lot) "God actually creates us vile and then punishes us for being vile? How is that just? He's the one needing torture!" But that is not what The Bible explains. God created us perfect. Eve disobeyed. She contaminated Adam and through him all of us are born as tiny babies DESERVING of torture, conceived in filth, festering in iniquity and delivered unto evil. Sin is that bad.

Job 25:4, 5b-6 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman.….yea, the stars are not pure in his sight; how much less man, that is a worm? And the son of man, which is a worm?

It is not how we were created. It is what we have become. No wonder Jesus will be killing so many billions when He returns, it's only fair. It's what we'd deserve IF we had not accepted Jesus. Christians HAVE accepted Jesus and will not be tortured for eternity as we, like every baby, were born deserving.

Titus 3:3-6 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour.

..Thank you Jesus

Thank you Lord

Re: I was here before I lost my mind

YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT AFTERLIVES? From attempts to drag me into “satsang” by obviously deluded types who looked very much as though they were on something at the time probably fungal in origin, my impression had been that after a period of fragmentation experienced as individual human lives (or succession of lives) (not necessarily all human) the godhead reunited enriched through our hopes and fears and successes and failures and conscious engagements with multiple realms of existence impossible for any cohering godhead other than in fragmented form so that although individual identity may be annihilated the reassembled godhead would enter a vastly enhanced phase of consciousness. That does not sound like oblivion to me. Am I misunderstanding your heresy?

Yes, Miss Lizalor. I am replying you and I am hoping that you are not offended. You are referring to some doctrines and ideas of Oriental religions. yes, I am sorry but I was not referring to them. You are making the assumption, perhaps, that my identification with Jainism is entailing that I would be agreeing with its doctrines. Yes, I am not. I am thinking that despite thousands of years of searching for any afterlife or reincarnation, no proof has been appearing. I am thinking that when we die, it will be over. Yes, this means that ahimsa is more important than ever as we can only be caring about the life on earth. yes. I am very sorry that I was stating by ideas in a less precise manner. Yes. I am unasking the question. I cannot say "yes" this time but "mu" 無.

[MitzaLizalor]

Re: I was here before I lost my mind

You are stating that you have the same heaven and that both you and these other christians will be going there, yes? I am asking, then, what is the point of debating? You all seem to be disagreeing on many things but if they do not matter, what would be the point?

I am fairly certain that our religions will not be taking us into any kind of afterlife but only into oblivion

because the way i was brought up is different from how they teach it

There is a fundamental misunderstanding here. We do not teach anything. It's entirely unnecessary because everything we need to know is already provided for us in The Bible. Sometimes maybe when perplexed it helps if a Scriptural reference is pointed out to me; maybe I'd forgotten it or was confused for one reason or another but that is not teaching. It's just showing me where to read from and whether I only read a little bit or continue to the end then restart and read up to where I came in changes nothing. The answer is in The Bible and all we need to do is read it.

Salvation is very simple. Jesus said that to appreciate Salvation we need no more mental dexterity than a random child. THIS IS WHERE YOU'D POST SCRIPTURE

Matthew 18:2-3 Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

DEBATING - When I meet people who get going on the “post-tribulation epikathedraism” versus “patranomialist metanoia” it makes me recall what Jesus did. What random child could understand such nonsense? Discussions of that type are meaningless and a quick referral to Matthew 18 is usually all that's required. I can't remember what OP was going on about: the error lies in thinking it's important.

Jesus thought otherwise. It is never my intention to misrepresent Jesus and since His teachings are recorded for us all that's required is to read them.

Re: I was here before I lost my mind

My Dear Miss Shah,

I have been employing my strategy for many years and have found it to be a very effective way of convincing people both young and old that to lead a Good Clean Christian Life is the only Path to follow.

I hope that this helps you understand that I am in no way, shape or form proposing violence against Mr. Grice. I am merely following the instructions given to me by God.

YIC
TT

Yes, Mr. Taylor. It is Harsha Shah here again and I am replying you. Yes, I am seeing that you are working hard to make people agree with you. Of course I am only seeing your results regarding Mr. Grice, and in that case you seem to be failing, as Mr. Grice is not becoming convinced of your viewpoint. Yes. I am sorry if I am once again offending you. Yes, I am.

I am also seeing that you have misunderstood my definition of violence. Yes, I am very sorry that I was offending you in that manner. For me, violence is not only physical but it is also containing unkindness, mockery, wanton misunderstandings and the lack of empathy. Yes. The Internet is full of that kind of violence, yes? How are you certain that the way you are discussing these things is more effective than ahimsa? How many in numbers and percentages more or less converts would you be gaining if you were acting differently? Yes, if you discarded the dung and asked the elephant "who are you and what do you think"? I am thinking that your contact with the elephant has been the dung for so long that you have polished the dung. It is possible, you know. Yet it remains dung. Yes. I am very happy that you are answering by posts, Mr. Taylor. You are so sad and beautiful. Yes.
