...I sincerely apologize if you think that having an upper level vocabulary automatically categorizes one into the unintelligent category...

That's not the point Mrs. Hun was trying to make. Misuse of big words marks one as a pretentious twat. Said misuse not only includes actual wrong use of the word (especially when combined with neglect of your automatic spellchecker), but overuse of lexicographical "dynamite". You also risk losing clarity of meaning. Always keep your audience in mind.

Write as you would speak to a parent or teacher. I learned a variation of that ("write as one would speak to a friend"), but kids these days are all "l33t txt spk Iv ad ur mum" crap, and that won't fly here.

Re: I'm sorry

You're most welcome dear! Which miracle has most set your heart aflame?

When Christ heals Simon Peter's mother-in-law from the fringe of death (Mark 1:29-31)

Re: I'm sorry

Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.

Romans 2:1

Keep reading...

Romans 2:2-3 But dwe are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, bO man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Only hypocrites are admonished to not judge. please do not cherry pick the Bible, young lady.

Re: I'm sorry

Ya want to know the best and most important miracle ever done? Jesus dying on the cross to save us sinners. For all have fallen short of the glory of God and therefore none would get into heaven. But God sees us as he sees His Son, holy and sin free, but only if we are saved.

Re: I'm sorry

Thank you for being so interested, sister Mary! I've been reading the Gospels to further myself in the plane of God. I've been reading about his miracles, and the prosperous message that he taught. I'm still a child in terms of Biblical knowledge, and I have so much to learn! This Brother V is going to be a huge help. Thanks for sneding me his way!

You're most welcome dear! Which miracle has most set your heart aflame? Is it when Jesus reverses the effects of cellular decomposition following death (John 11:1-44)? Maybe when He curses a fig tree for having the audacity of not producing fruit for Him off season (Mark 11:12-20)? Or maybe when He made a coin appear in a fish's mouth, perhaps inspiring the story of the Fisherman and his wife so many years later (Matthew 17:27)!

Re: I'm sorry

I apologize for making a simple spelling error. It won't happen again. But if we're going to discuss vocabulary...

Have you started reading the Holy Bible? Have you found Brother V's Bible In A Year forum is of utmost value. You'll find all kinds of wonderful, Godly insight to help you on your journey!

Re: I'm sorry

What exactly is an "upper level vocabulary", Holmberg dear? It's not a term used in my Godless country.

[ThatOneGuyHolmberg]

Re: I'm sorry

Holmberg, I find it hard to believe you don't masturbate.

I have more self control than most. I'm sorry if you don't believe me.

Re: I'm sorry

I apologize for making a simple spelling error. It won't happen again. But if we're going to discuss vocabulary, I would like to point out that I have a plethora of word choices at my disposal. I sincerely apologize if you think that having an upper level vocabulary automatically categorizes one into the unintelligent category; under the false assumption that use of an external resource is required. If you wish, I could dumb down my speech for the sake of further cementing the unintelligence of adolescent children.


Now that we have that out of the way, may I ask why this is important? You understood the main message, and that's that. God's word contains small spelling errors in some translations, but we don't harp on God's word for it.

Re: I'm sorry

Holmberg, I find it hard to believe you don't masturbate. Most teenaged boys cannot keep their hands off themselves. I try to counsel many of them to think about Jesus when they feel sexually aroused.

As far as people having the "right" to rape themselves, I differ with that view. I don't think people have the "right" to masturbate any more than they have the right to murder, steal, covet or associate with gaysexuals. These are all sins and fall short of the glory of God. I don't to any of these. Praise Jesus.

Re: I'm sorry

What is in question is your perpencity to instigate unneccesary altercations for the sake of a zealous attitude.

Aaargh! Enough! I am sorry, Brothers and Sisters in Christ, but I am sure I speak for many of the women here - the many years we spent home-schooling our children and grandchildren make it difficult to ignore this.***

Please, Holmberg dear, I beg of you:

1. Stop using words that you only heard someone use once without first looking them up. It's not big and it's not clever, especially when you misheard them and therefore have no idea how to spell them. (The word, by the way, is propensity.)

2. You have a spell-checker. Use it so as to avoid unnecessary errors.

3. "If in doubt about a word, use another word" is a pretty good rule.

I will pray for you, dear.

Re: I'm sorry

It seems like Holm- er, That One Guy, is not quite as sorry as he'd claimed to be.

I'm praying real hard for him.

You shouldn't be. I don't even masturbate, and I was just providing an argument. I would give my life for Christ, and that is not what is in question. What is in question is your perpencity to instigate unneccesary altercations for the sake of a zealous attitude.
