Nope, I’m wrong. The Undead Thread started in June 2004.
I love the former. The molasses miasma does not have the same, “je ne sais quoi!”
A bientot, Madame Chicque!
F
Noted.
Knowing myself as well as I think I do, I doubt I would have asked my question that way. I tend to word things very carefully when the issue is a sensitive one and I'm not trying to offend.
I do see your point, though. Words should always be chosen carefully.
My example was a bit contrived, and a bit crude ... but it serves to make the point. I didn't mean to suggest that you, personally, had done something like that. I have seen it done on this forum, and almost that bad. Sometimes it seems accidental, and sometimes it does not seem accidental.
Thanks for the clarification. LOL...I just saw your screenname and I think it’s a riot that you’d make the point you just did with a name like that. :-) I love this place!
Christians need to be freed from denominational teachings and come to Jesus believing that he died was buried and rose again the third day and that that is the power of God unto salvation for every hindering influence in their lives. The need to quit being self righteous according to the ways of their theology and seek Gods will.
1 Corinthians 1;10-13Now I beseech you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
For it has been declared to me of you brothers that there be contentions among you.
Now this I say that everyone of you say, I am of Paul or I am of Apollos and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
Sadly, certainly true about being crucified.
In my experience, the rock throwers have buckest full of nails as well as buckets full of rocks. And they seem to not lack crosses to affix folks to with their nails.
Of course, they are most righteous crosses in the most conforming denominational strictures . . . and styles . . . and colors . . . with all the right kosher splinters and bloody splits in the trunk and the very cross beams . . . placed in the most ‘sanctified’ holes with the most Scriptural jolts . . .
just ask them . . .
On the other hand . . . asking God might reveal a different perspective.
Thanks for your kind words and ping.
Well put.
Still hope to get back to this thread.
I think it’s more likely that I’ll post to one thread. Bothering with a new thread every item is just not very functional for my schedule these days.
Anyway . . . sigh.
More great wisdom from you, as usual.
Though I do think 2 X 4’s are most fitting at rare times. Maybe the mule learns little to nothing . . . but the horse next to him might.
No one’s asking anyone to condone error.
But haughty self-righteous, critical-spirit judgmentalism; bad-faith sanctimonious hostility and abusiveness are not fruits of The Spirit.
And, timing and context are important as well as tone.
I think there IS a time for passers by to arrest the child-molester or murderer or wife beater etc.
But for a grubby homeless alcoholic to rise out of the gutter and self-rightously with great hostility, smugness, pique, sanctimony etc. insist on straightening the collar of the nun in the white habit . . . is . . . a bit much.
. . . more than a bit.
Perhaps the book
A MORE EXCELLENT WAY would be a good one for you and son to read and discuss together . . .
there is a discussion of hypnosis.
Hypnosis as merely intense focus . . . as with great oratory, lines on the highway on a long straight stretch . . . etc. . . is one thing . . .
Creating an opening for various other forces willy-nilly . . . is something else.
Great image. The problem is, it's never clear which one is the drunk, and which one is wearing the white collar. Each one thinks the other is the drunk.
One prophylactic I try to adopt is to avoid setting out to save people from their errors. I drop this scheme when their errors involve misstating and mocking what I believe.
For the rest, see my tag line. It ain't pretty, but it's accurate.
Agnus dei, miserere nobis.
i THINK i understand.
I beg your pardon! I am NOT grubby.
Yeah, this is a nice clean gutter! a high CLASS gutter! You have no idea the security deposit I needed to put down to get this gutter! Sheesh!
I'm serious about the saving people thing. I don't need to be telling the truth about you and your errors to be telling the truth. And besides, I don't necessarily KNOW the truth about you and your errors. (Heck, I hardly know the truth about ME and MY errors!) The best I can do is to tell what it looks like from here.
Or try it yet another way: There's a difference between giving testimony and trying to change somebody's mind.
One more: Christ didn't wait for us to stop being sinners before He would die for us.
Zzzzzz
You’re not grubby?
Yeah, wellllll,
how could i know . . . with a name like . . . uhhhh . . . ichabod! LOL.
Try a better whitewash next time. Might fool me. [joke]

EXCELLENT POINTS.

Okay, the glory hath departed from my sense of humor.
IMHO, the problem is to determine our goals in conversation. As Q. knows, I have my suspicions and problems with charismatic (I'm just grasping at an identifier here, not making a judgment) type recensions of the Gospel. Q, on the other hand, thinks that the structures of the RC Church -- ones which I see as virtual guarantors of sound doctrine and providers of a prayer-life (again, for want of a better term) rich beyond my fondest expectations -- enable and encourage and almost make inevitable an idolatrous and/or polytheistic religion which by flouting the "jealousy" of the LORD deprives many of its adherents of the great benefits which follow from trusting in Him alone AND also interpose needless barriers and complications between individuals and each saint's task of "working out his own salvation in fear in trembling, for it is ....[and the rest of it]."
I think we Catholics have to admit that there is some basis to the old chestnut about the woman to whom, as she prays her bedes, the Lord appears and calls. She responds, "Be quiet, I'm talking to your mother." And I'd like to think that Quix will cop to some "charismatics", both now and in the past who have, at the least, "not played well with others" and some of whom have, as a writer (quoted by Eusebius [History Bk V chap 17] in one of my favorite lines) says of a false prophet, "...starts in voluntary ignorance and ends in involuntary madness."
SO, (pause to gather breath and remember what we were talking about) the question is how can we talk to one another?
Clearly there are some Protestants who think the catholic Church is an abomination, through and through. I simply do not know how we can converse with them. Similarly there are some catholic Xtians (and maybe some Orthodox, I don't know) who think that at least some Protestants are an abomination, etc.
As I said miserere nobis. We haven't been doing the love thing too well. At least I haven't.
Masterfully, wonderously, Biblically, Lovingly put, MD.
Thanks tons. Much, much agree.
Though I disagree that you have not done the love thing too well. Well above average, imho.
