So, ethnic mush. German, Greek, Italian, I'm sure it doesn't end there. Anglos, Saxons, and Nordics turning away from God and fornicating with their inferior Latinate, Slavic, and Celtic neighbors. People see all this miscegenating betwixt the various breeds of European and start to think that even race mixing is okay, and then you get mulattos, mestizos, blasians, and other horrors, all according to the plan of the Elders of Zion.

Opa is German, not Greek, for grandfather. In Greece, "Opa!" is what they shout when they throw plates or drop a grandchild on its face.

I don't really think they much cared what they called each other, so long as it wasn't late for dinner.

Wait, Sister Joanna--are you suggesting that this poster is being disingenuous?

I'm going to pass along to our admins they make an award, TROLLER OF THE YEAR. The winner would get an award, two additional posts before being cancelled.

But, are you learning from the most important source available to mankind, Dear? Of course, I am referring to the glorious , which you should be reading — several times a day. This is how the reveals self to us, by speaking Will for us, through the pages of this blessed Book.

Joshua 1:8 "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."

John 16:13 "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."

And, thanks to technology, you can read online — for free! Do let us know how you are getting on, Miss Nettles. We love to be of cordial assistance!

But, but, but, dear Mayor: I only have a very vague idea of what "trolls" are (I'm pretty sure they turn into stone in sunlight, and I think they reside somewhere in Sweden or Finland, you know, one of these places where months can pass without sunlight), but -- wouldn't one have to be succesfull in order to receive this award...?

Sadly for this poster, I don't think s/he even comes close to winning it.

A first rather than just two fingers could help with that..take it, I know from experience.


I am not a troll by the way, nor a man. Maybe my posts seem more clever than what you might assume come out of a girl, but I'm a full bodied female and I don't think I'm beyond the approach of Christ. I was raised a false Christian, yes I know this, but with some study I think the truth is in my reach.

[The Attention Seeker Jen (On Moderation)]

Sorry, fist not first. A fist works for me any way, but my mouth opens wider than most.

Of course, if I'm assuming correct, some would say here a man's fist to the face helps with girl sickness. Before, I'd been outraged by this blatant assault, but it does work. The shock and sting make you forget about internal cramps.

I have a serious question...

If I study the Bible, how can I best utilize the Word in an effective outreach that won't deter others hearing it coming from me?

A serious question? Oh OK. It would depend on the context which verse to quote to them. Is there a context or are you just playing silly games?

Poster is trying to play silly games with us but is simply wasting everyone's time and bandwidth. Poster needs to decide if she wishes to engage in the challenging-- but ultimately serious-- game of confronting a very deluded world about the actual, textually accurate words inscribed in the Bible.

That is what we are really doing here. You may think that you are being glib or clever, but you aren't reading or questioning any of the many Bible verses that we are trying to apply to real world situations.

Do you care that there are people out there who are twisting themselves into knots trying to be "good Christians" and still identify as homosexual? Those people need to give up torturing themselves and the different verses that they twist beyond recognition. They need to accept that the God of the Bible condemns homosexuality and either accept God and be straight or reject God and be themselves.

Other people make themselves nuts trying to reconcile science with Biblical statements about the origins of life on our world. Those people need to give themselves over to God's Wisdom or the scientific method.

Jesus' own words make it clear: No man can serve two masters. It's time for the human race to pick a side because either the Earth is going to real Hell or metaphorical hell.

I made my own choice and am at peace because I no longer worry about being sent to real Hell. Metaphorical hell is dealing with idiots who refuse to read the Bible and I am also done with them.

Well put, Sister. It's not exactly hard to follow the rules, so people should just do it and stop gaslighting us with their opinions. I wish all our guests could be like John in the other thread - what a nice guy, no tantrums or bellyaching.

Sister Handy--Transita needs to be slapped down and sent to early purgatory. How many more posts should he/she be allowed? I'm thinking two. Maybe we can reach a consensus and cheer as the exit door opens and out Transita goes.

Jesus' own words make it clear: No man can serve two masters.

Well see, I was raised to love unconditionally. When I worked at Barnes and Noble I had quite a few colorful gay coworkers. I guess you can say I was bit of a fag hag for some of these, given how luckless we all were at the love game. I figured they exhibited self-sacrificing Christ-like qualities....but then I saw verses like this in the Bible.

Leviticus 18:22

22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

And it made me cry. As much as I loved my coworkers, I knew in my heart they were sinners. I just wanted to hug them and ask if they really loved God. And they'd say yes of course, but it killed me hearing that, because I knew they were going to burn in Hell. I don't want to go there myself!

I always thought Jesus loved all, and I was raised to embrace much of the New Testament, but Jesus in fact is actually pretty clear the old laws still count, so no, I can't ignore that detail, right?

Were you, though?

Then how come you didn't know that homosexuality was explicitly condemned in the New Testament, too?

Romans 1:26-28
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1 Timothy 1:9-10
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

This is just a selection - I'll give you a positive rep if you can come up with another one.
