K.C. you want to see bad? then ask God to give you the strength to take His Word outside of the safe zone. I knew there would be people out there who would not believe.

Barely! To open your eyes the rest of the way, try to convince people you own a talking fish. See if they react to you in much the same way as when you respond to every question by yabbering a Bible verse. Write a book full of unsupported assertions about talking fish, and quote from that every time someone tries to talk to you. If you find people get irritated when you yabber about your talking fish, a logical person would suspect the hatred you observed was not for "God," and not even for any particular nonsensical belief, but for belief in ANY sort of nonsense. People who insist on denying common sense and the plain evidence of their senses tend to get a harsh reception unless they have the right combination of favorable circumstances and personality traits to exploit other people’s hunger for artificial certainty. Another guy who misinterpreted outrage is Terrell Owens (wide receiver, Philadelphia Eagles, NFL, American football). After he appeared in that commercial with the Desperate Housewives actress who dropped her towel and appeared to jump into his arms naked, he thought people were complaining to the FCC because *he* was in the commercial! if by God’s Will, God would work His power through His servant and some non-believer was to feel the mustard seed of faith God gave to them as a result of our Lord God Almighty using me to spread His Word, then I’m going to give thanks to God for Him having allowed me to witness.
So whatever happened to calling down fire from heaven like Elijah? Did your God take early retirement? take God’s Word to the nonbeliever then remember: Luk 9:5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
Where I live, you can shake your shoes, but the mud stays on. It’s an outrage! Your witness might improve a bit jim if you learned some humility.
How’s humility working out for you? Just sayin.
But with humility there can be no particular religion, because a humble man never claims to know things he does not know. A humble man, for example, would say he doesn’t know for sure whether Balaam’s ass spoke. The only evidence for that improbable event is one ancient written account, and not even the people who believe ancient writings reveal spiritual truths can agree on exactly which spiritual truths a given piece of ancient writing reveals. A man who is absolutely convinced every word in "the Bible"* is literally true is not humble. He thinks he is objectively better than all those infidel sinners who will be Left Behind. *Opinions differ on exactly which ancient writings belong in "the Bible." Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant groups all recognize different canons. Jim probably doesn’t even know the history of how his Bible came to be, the process by which councils of men decided which books to include and exclude. All attempts by modern apologists to write definitive tests for canonicity quickly collapse into laughable tangles of logical contradictions. The bottom line: the books that made the cut did so simply because some human decided they should. Different humans liked different books, so the various "Bibles" in use today are not all the same. When committees of men constructed their Bibles from the large set of religious writings available to them, the authors of those writings were long dead. Which raises the interesting question of what sort of Bibles *those* writers would put together if they could come back to life today. For example, would Moses approve of his works appearing in Jim’s anthology? Is it possible God inspired Moses to help write a book he wouldn’t agree with? — the Danimal

the other day a person was telling people how they fall into sin. not true as was replied to him by a listener who became the speaker. people don’t fall into sin. people go knowing into sin. people make announcements concerning their availability to jump into sin. people circle dates on their calendar to make an appointment for sin. people give out their phone number so sin can call them. people don’t fall into sin, they go knowing after making plans to sin. I love God, Jim

Reminds me of the radio station here. At Xmas time, they have a little segment, where they read letters to Santa. A lot of the kids, end their letter with I love you Santa. It’s so easy to love some imaginery character. Same child like belief. Kids grow up and then realize that there is no Santa. Religionists never grow up!!

That’s correct. Santa Clause is a type of antichrist, rewarding people for being good, rather than for being forgiven. Of course the kids are not good, they haven’t been good, but they say they have and then get rewarded for lying. I had to observe that excruciating ceremony this year. We don’t have it at home though. Uncle Davey
