It appears that about the only time you post here is when you’re pimping your blog.

BTW, the Romans had a really serious reservation about adding Jesus ~ they killed people over the point.

Thanks for you comments. I still say “Abstain from all appearance of evil”.............like the verse that talks about eating meat, if it might cause a weaker brother to stumble then don’t do it

The Romans did not kill Jesus because they didn’t want to recognize he was God.

They killed him, as they killed hundreds of thousands or millions of other people, because they saw him as a political inconvenience in controlling a rebellious people.

Naw, the Romans wanted to have people NOT ADD JESUS to the pantheon in place of all the other gods, including the emperors.

They didn't care if you were rebellious or kissing their tush ~ they only killed 70 million over the centuries anyway. Most of them were people well deserving of death!

I think I read that the best estimate of demonic number is actually around 3 million, one third of the heavenly host.

Only 6 million good angels??? That leaves billions of people without a guardian angel...I hope I'm one of the lucky ones...

Well, think about it. There is no indication that God made any more angels from the original host he created. There was a finite number, so as the human population grows, he would always have to make more.

I was just trying to point out that if you are a Christian, taking ballet from Russians doesn’t make you communist or from the French doesn’t make you socialist; therefore taking yoga at the local gym doesn’t make you hindu, either.

As for the armpit part, that was just a joke about the French.

...inspirational videos of Arthur Boorman, a disabled vet who walked with difficulty with braces and was approx. 300 lb. when he started the YRG, Yoga for Real Guys,...the difference in his appearance from the first to the last! It is really unbelievable.

As long as one is not prideful in abstention, no problem.

A couple of yoga stretches can be pretty beneficial. But one doesn’t really use those muscles in any form of locomotion...least of all in baseball.

I see your completely random Bible quote that was used to avoid dealing with an ugly truth, and raise you a completely random Bible quote as a response in turn.

“Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.”

You’re welcome.

Words DO carry intrinsic energy. This is why freedom of speech is under so much (successful) attack. PC speech is not just speech control, it is mind control and thinking control by way of language.

A word can carry the energy and intention of a person who created it or even spoke it. This is especially true of words or phrases spoken and used many times with a specific use or intention.

Ironically, it was a Buddhist who got me to appreciate the King James translation of the Bible. Even more ironically was the fact that there are Sanskrit words that describe why that translation is so powerful, and do so better than English language.

But a word spoken with no audience is just a funny breathing exercise.

There is one God, not many. Some people worship Him one way, some slightly differently. Hating those of other religions (not counting Islam, as they want to kill us all) is not a way to serve God.

Ugh. Where's Headache Guy when you need him?

So many answers.

I’ll go for the simplest answer.

No.
