Re: From humble origins

OK, you got a point about Revelation of John, granted.
But then John made Jesus a liar, did he not, when he puts Jesus swearing that he would come back soon, three times, soon, soon, soon, in the last chapter of Revelation.
Just that.
Three times did Jesus tell lies there - he did not come soon, and nobody actually needed him down here in this cursed planet!

Too many christs, too many prophets, too many churches - it is a diseased planet, sick & molested by religion.
I am of meager intelligence. Forgive me for being so slow to learn.

Re: From humble origins

Don't label me poor.
I have an IQ above average, have you not noticed!
By the way, do you know what the average is?

[Those who want to convert others by tactics of fear, terror, insulting, intimidation, cursing, threatening, badmouthing, ugly expletives, denying Mohammed, Charles Russell & Billy Graham, and much more.]

Your concept of 'average IQ' is piss poor. If you were smart, you'd be loving Jesus.

Aren't you asking too much: loving Jesus only because he told you he is the son of god?
Where's proof?
Don't tell me the proof was his inauguration with the slaughter of babies in Bethlehem, was it?!

Genesis 1

King James Version (KJV)

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Sorry COM, but I'm not in a mood to read childish fantasies - send me a passage from "The History Of Brazil" next time!

I get easily offended with folk throwing out verses of the Bible - "Verse-Throwers", as it were.

Idiot.

Since you acknowledge God, you have to accept the other two. All one and the same, the Trinity.

I still say giving you retards computers because it will "expand their view of the world" is pointless until you people can properly sort garbage.

Re: From humble origins

What's "Orpah"?

Orpah was Ruth's sister-in-law (See Ruth 1). However, I said "Oprah"; that is, Oprah Winfrey.

One of the wealthiest women in the world, has her own television network . . . Perhaps you've heard of her?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oprah_Winfrey

Winfrey was called "arguably the world's most powerful woman" by CNN and Time.com,[95] "arguably the most influential woman in the world" by the American Spectator,[96] "one of the 100 people who most influenced the 20th Century" and "one of the most influential people" from 2004 to 2011 by TIME. Winfrey is the only person in the world to have appeared in the latter list on all eight occasions.[97]


At the end of the 20th century Life listed Winfrey as both the most influential woman and the most influential black person of her generation, and in a cover story profile the magazine called her "America's most powerful woman".[98] In 2007 USA Today ranked Winfrey as the most influential woman and most influential black person of the previous quarter century.[99] Ladies Home Journal also ranked Winfrey number one in their list of the most powerful women in America and senator Barack Obama has said she "may be the most influential woman in the country".[100] In 1998 Winfrey became the first woman and first African-American to top Entertainment Weekly's list of the 101 most powerful people in the entertainment industry.[101] Forbes named her the world's most powerful celebrity in 2005,[102] 2007,[103] 2008[92] and 2010[104] In 2010 Life magazine named Winfrey one of the 100 people who changed the world, along side such luminaries as Jesus Christ, Elvis Presley and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Winfrey was the only living woman to make the list.[105]

Don't label me poor.
I have an IQ above average, have you not noticed!

No. No, I have not.

You have no idea how to engage others in conversation, nor can you debate. All you do is rant endlessly so you can read your own words.

You are so ignorant of your own culture that you don't even know who Oprah Winfrey is. Probably because you're a racist who ignores the achievements of black people. Have you heard of Clarence Thomas? Nelson Mandela? Barack Obama? (He's only half-black.)

I think you have chosen either the Asperger's Syndrome or the high-functioning Autistic lifestyle.

Look up the word "ineffective" and you will find it has nothing to do with IQ. It means you are having no effect. We aren't swayed by anything you rant at us. Call us names and we thank you for persecuting us. If it's a "fact" that disagrees with the Bible it can't be true.

So feel free to carry on.
