"Enjoy yourselves, but I hope everyone can mock God to this degree and walk away..."

"Everyone here is here to mock at this point, one way or another. To mock or argue..."


Jane - I bet I've read four thousand posts on this thread and I can't remember ever seeing God mocked. Quite a number of statements by humans were mocked, but that is quite another thing. A considerable number of comments, largely by a single poster, presented themselves as eminently mockable, and deserving of mockery, for their exclusivity, their divisiveness, their Us=Good & Them=Evil sort of attitude. The time for this kind of thing has passed, imho. It's going to be more difficult to get a good pogrom going in a wired and informed world - the post to follow this one could be from a left-handed Reformed Quaker of Mongolian extraction posting from Timbuktou, for all we know. Will he/she mock God? ... I doubt it - nobody else did.

The belief structure of the great majority of posters here looks very very good on them - they express joy and elation and love for life and their fellow man - not much wrong with that. But to start claiming that the dominant religion of the dominant nation of the planet is being victimized by the 'Talmudic Babylonian Jewish Satanists' - wow - now if that isn't 'mocking God', then what is?

'Sez Jane
The thread's insane
However
Forever
Jesus will ultimately reign

'Tiz true more and more "newcomers" can interpret Rev. Vidrine's bombastic and harsh style
'Tiz true that his doctrine misses "love for the Jews" by thousands of miles
However, let it be said
Most are not in his "bed"
For the more he posts, we can see from whence comes all of his bile

At least you've "wised up" and ignore his postings
With all of its verbosity and prideful boastings
I tried that approach for awhile
But I'd truly like to see Emile smile
This thread would be thrilled & offer a round of "toastings"

PS The Robins are all over my woods these days---a few sparrows are beginning to show up to---waiting for the blue birds---and our faithful mother duck is still setting.

Our Heavenly Father is sensational
Our Holy Spirit is sensational
Our Lord Jesus Christ is sensational
So
Let us rejoice in the LORD always---and---again I say rejoice.
And
I could worship without drums.
Our minister preached a fantastic sermon Sunday on Stewardship!!!
Inspirational
Informational
Sensational
Let the Church be the church.
With the Psalmist I agree when he said: "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go unto the house of the Lord."

Jane,
I wasnt part of the conversation on weather or not a six month old baby has a sinful nature. Youhave me confused with someone else in this instance. FWIW, As the father of two children, I dont view them as having been born with a sinful nature. I think of it more as a clean slate.
JMHO,
Mark
