    I don't think you have ever made any and or started a logical discussion, ever. This can be seen from your history alone. I am not aware of who @Dmitar is, but if he really errs you this much, this exposed how frivolous you can be.

    That being said, a man of God you speak time and time again to be, yet....

    Christians need be careful of slang and vulgar speech, yet here we see, even the Holy Good Book you ignore on this matter, learn to apply Scripture the next time, and think prior a response. Cherry picking isn't the Scripture way, for whatever The Durbin guy is teaching you, shift away.

    • Ecclesiastes 10:12 - The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool consume him.
    • Colossians 3:8 - But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your mouth.
    • Colossians 4:6 - Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
    • Ephesians 5:4 - Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving.
    • Ephesians 4:29 - Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
    • Matthew 15:11 - it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”
    • James 3:10 - From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

    Now if I could only apply this counsel to myself.

    Time to ban dimtar.

    You wouldn’t if you came from one of those olden-day cultures in which the townspeople armed themselves at midnight and set off in search of doubleheaders to split.

    If it wasn’t Frankenstein it was Bigfoot. And if it wasn’t Bigfoot, it was the Doubleheader.

    You sure don’t know much about monsters. Even Captain Kirk encountered them, boldly going where no man had gone before. Like those vicious Tribbles. And Monty Python even encountered a Tripleheader.

    "...you know much that is hidden oh Tom"

    So you've never done any door to door preachg then ?  You've never tried to get anyone to leave their own religion and to become a JW ?  :) 

    I never push. If someone is happy w/the slop they're eating then it's not their time. If someone chooses to argue and I discern some value to them in so doing I will, but if it becomes like most useless exchanges on the internet I leave.

    The angels are involved and Jehovah is involved and Jesus said "No one can come to the Father unless I draw him." So if they aren't being drawn at that moment, its just time to plant a seed here or there and let it be what it will.

    Neither you nor I nor anyone else's activity in person or on the internet is needful save to the one who is performing this activity, because the garden we are concerned with is our own. When we listen to the bible and our conscience and understand that we don't have it made and that we have to exert ourselves vigorously, at those moments we're on track.

    I'll admit to being off track a lot, but I try to get back on track (knowing I'll get off track again).

    'God you're such a helpless idiot. '👎

    jesus would coment in a completly oppisite way ,this highlights xeros view of the king ,total disrespect👍

    ............

    "Without a parable Jesus would not speak.

    Without a worldly video @xero would not write :) "👎

     

    xero cannot be compared to christ ,perhaps to your flawed self is more likely

    we know the real idiots on this forum,they will be held nameless as is satan name is never known👍

    Right. The same Jesus who drove out the money changers w/whips, called them offspring of vipers, that their father was the Devil and who suggested that congregations making a pretense at Christianity to get either cold or hot else he'd vomit them out of his mouth. The same Jesus who said I came to bring a sword. 

    I do remember a certain Judas who felt he was in a position to criticize a woman for pouring a years labor's worth of perfume on Jesus feet. Later this snob did what all pretenders do.

    I will admit to resonating w/Caleb in his desire to help purge the promised land and Jael who nailed Sisera's head to the floor of her tent or Samuel hacking Agag to pieces in Gilgal. :)

    The lyrics are quite good.  It seems to depend on what "world" and what light you are speaking about.  There are two sides of spiritual light; one side is fake, crafted by the devil. (2 Cor 11:13-15)   The other side is the genuine light of Christ through his teachings. (John 1:1-4) Besides other interpretations, this song can be viewed in two opposing ways; one by those who live under the fake light of a masquerade - those in the "world" of the Wt.  The other interpretation is for those who leave the darkness of falsehoods, a “different Jesus” preached by eight men and their massive entourage of elder “helpers”  who love their rulership over eight million people, more than they love the light of Jesus Christ’s teachings. (2 Cor 11:4; 1 Tim 4:1)  The no longer blind ones, who keep searching for the light of truth after false teachings were fed to them for years, and while under the the fear of standing against lies for so long…finally open the door to Jesus Christ and truth.  They are those who have found the genuine light.  (John 8:12; 12:46) 

    As the song ends, 

    "Don't ignore, listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
    You need never feel broken again
    Sometimes darkness
    Can show you the light"

    " These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 

    "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline, so be earnest and repent.  Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."  Rev 3:7,8,19,20

    You have to follow your conscience, but don't hassle people who are following theirs is how I feel about it.

    No, I'm talking about the animal sacrifices. From my understanding of Genesis, before Adam and Eve's disobedience, neither the humans nor the animals wanted to kill one another. Since they all lived according to God's Will before the fall, I assume that it was God' Will for humans and animals to not kill one another.

    So what I don't understand is what exactly made God approve of humans killing animals and bringing their corpses to Him as a way of honoring Him. Did Abel come up with this idea on his own or did he learn it from his parents or from someone else? And whoever the first human that got the idea of killing animals was, why wasn't this human told by God that killing animals causes them suffering and is against God's Will?

    Cain bringing grains to God is a bit more logical in the sense that they ate grains, so it was something along the lines of: "when us, humans, share food with each other, we enjoy our presence more, so maybe if I share food with The Being Who created me it will make This Being enjoy my presence more." So he brought grains, the food that he grew from the ground, to God. Granted, The Bible doesn't say that it was the best grains he had, so I understand why God would not regard Cain's offering. But the idea of bringing food to God is still grounded in logic, when compared to the idea of killing animals (which is basically destroying God's creation, bringing its remains to God, and telling God that you destroyed His creation as a means of honoring Him).

    I take it as axiomatic that we have a truncated account of the period of time prior to the flood even including the few centuries post flood. All anyone can do is speculate and perhaps use ancient people accounts as a possible source for speculation. You could look at the talmudic speculations on these. You could read Maimonides. I would start w/the CGS (Christian Greek Scriptures) and take anything Jesus affirmed or those closely associated w/him as having an interpretational vector on these things. Another thing is that we often see Jehovah allowing, though not prescribing behavior and know that a given act may not be desirable or it might be desirable, Jehovah at at least at the point of time when it's described as being done considered it(the act) significant enough in the scheme of things to intervene w/a voice from the heavens or a prophet affirming or denying it's action.

    Do you have any scriptures prescribing the disposition of the dead? Nope. Just that you're unclean if you touch a dead thing or person. So when we read that these followed certain burial practices it wasn't as far as we know (unless there are some as yet undiscovered scriptures outlining the proper burial of the dead) something Jehovah prescribed, just what these people did based on what they thought about Jehovah and what they thought of the dead and their future, if any.

    I am speaking for myself only, but I enjoy spiritual discussions if in fact they really ARE spiritual discussions, and not the agenda driven mantras not far removed from how Catholics count beads on a rosary, and mumble "Hail Mary, full of grace....", etc., but I can tell you for a fact that almost nothing upsets me.

    What you consider what I dislike would get you fired as a 7 year old Dick Tracy detective, and I get upset rattling peoples' chains to see if they are awake.?

    HahahahaHAHahaha

    If you had a sense of humor you would know how easy and what fun that is.

     

    Agreed. Often people who are full of themselves (confusing this w/holy spirit) go on and on playing bible-ping pong or "I'll parse each sentence you make and see if I kind find a spelling error and congratulate myself when I do" are colossal bores. You see the same kind of pin-head analysis in a lot of forums. These are the Mensa members who've never accomplished anything in their lives except score high-enough on the sub-genius category (which is Mensa) so they can content themselves on their superiority despite their tangible real-world mediocre lives.

    blo·vi·ate
    /ˈblōvēˌāt/
     
    verb
     informal•US
    gerund or present participle: bloviating
    1. talk at length, especially in an inflated or empty way.
       

    When I tell jokes, most of the time I am just entertaining myself. I try to keep them pithy, and SHORT.

    Dimitar asks dozens of questions that no one EVER answers, as it is apparent he also asks them to entertain himself, as they are based on insulting false premises, and irrelevant assumptions.

    I apologise, for answering for him ... perhaps I should have waited for his own  answer. of why he bloviates, which I had to look up, because I thought it had something to do with chronic intestinal gas being expelled at easily discernible volume..

    ....very similar.

     

    Your responses are the only ones I read as the humor is welcome. I could easily imagine a syndicated cartoon featuring the character you play.

    Misuse of scripture. Once again it referred to the Anointed ones only. Some of the Anointed ones were acting as if they were more important. Just like the GB do now. 

    I suspect that any scripture which doesn't line up w/your views would be an instance of misuse. Never mind. Continue w/your obsession about people w/invisible beanies.
