When you're losing ground and things are getting too close for comfort--change<br>the subject:<br><br>1. "School District Math" (Crikey! Silly me, wrong school district...hee, hee,<br>as if I didn't know ;) .)<br><br>2. "And Now for something completely different!"<br><br>3. "Follow up - Islam the religion of peace!"<br><br>4. Summary - "I know we are all tired of this nitpicking, and unless someone<br>has some specific questions regarding the conditions of Mr. Sitler's and others'<br>release, or related topics, I shall NOT revisit this issue." G.S.<br><br>Refusal to answer certain questions is certainly ones prerogative on this forum,<br>but spare us the phony moral posturing. You do NOT *know* that we are<br>*all* tired of what *you* *consider* nitpicking. Speak for yourself.<br><br>And for the constant shriek of coward, from specifically a couple of "serrated"<br>mouths from evidently
serrated hearts, for any (except their own--and there's<br>been many, but we're special so that's OK; remember Princess Sushi stated<br>that "God knows who I am") choosing anonymity--it's preferable being <br>"considered" a coward in this instance (especially by this self-esteemed and<br>self-honored cabal) than being someone with an arrogant, patronizing, serrated<br>spirit. Anonymity has been discussed at length in past posts, but certain people<br>with seemingly larger mouths than Godly hearts and wisdom, have concern<br>only in this instance for *their* lack of knowing who's just who which render them<br>powerless to contrive as they would like in personal attacks. You care not to <br>honestly address certain points of issues, and well you know this. Your <br>apparent lack of of true humility reveals this and speaks volumes. The names<br>Scimitar, Leeroy Lincoln (sarcasm on the joys of slavery) and others, are<br>forthrightly anonymous; if one
cares not to read them then don't. But monikers<br>taken to sound as plasible names are used as ruses. Preach to us on deceit;<br>a liar is a liar whatever name he uses and rationalization for lying doesn't make it<br>any less the case--even when one tries to bend Scripture to support "in some<br>instances God approves of lying" (discussed in past posts; and this is not<br>referring to things militarily--another subject).<br><br>if God, who is ultimate holiness and longsuffering (II Peter 3:9) and "...maketh<br>His sun to rise on the evil and the good..." (Matt. 5.45; see all of Matt. 5:43-48),<br>surely you can find grace within your speech to both the evil and the good. But<br>bringing out your double talking PR/Hit men (of both genders) is just so much<br>fun.<br><br>Do you professing conservative Christians, and you know who's being addressed,<br>really care about the salvation of those on this forum and elsewhere whom you<br>denigrate or attempt
to. You "holy" men of God. How proud He must be of you.<br>Christ who died for you while you were yet sinners (Romans 5:8) and was a *living* sacrifice besides giving His Ultimate...and you who can't resist (nor care<br>to; it's even encouraged) the temptation of "serrating" (yea, even rationalizing it,<br>and those who are accusing so many of being in a constant state of bitterness<br>are the very ones whose serrated tongues reflect, it seems, a deep-seated <br>bitterness against those who don't walk in lock step with your principles, and<br>whom you know little if nothing about but love to mock) others to stroke your<br>egos. But speaking out of both sides of the mouth and appealing to base instincts are so much fun! How your arms must ache from patting yourselves on<br>your backs, and lips as swollen as your upturned heads from blowing your own<br>horns--and all the while stating how good God is to you (then act like it by being<br>gracious to
all--Matt. 22:37, see Matt. 22:36-40). Let's gloat how smart and wise<br>we are, just like the humble Christ, the Suffering Servant (Isaiah 53:7), --such <br>suffereing we'll never have to endure--who did not revile His accusers and <br>tormentors under such torments in Gethsemane and His death on the cross<br>(I Peter 2:23). How you've been tormented. But let's not follow His example;<br>serrated mouths while "bringing in the Kingdom" will suffice. Let's twist <br>Scripture, again, to fit our base instincts.<br><br>Let's hope when your heads quit spinning from the excitement of smug and *ungodly* self-satisfaction (and this is not a statement that all self-satisfaction <br>is ungodly--a whole other subject), that they'll end up facing forward, oh shining<br>examples of Christ. Wake up...your eyes are to be first and foremost on Christ<br>and His Word, not first and foremost on *any* pastor nor church (they are all <br>fallible), (but the Holy
Spirit needs some help. Sarcasm) Unfortunately your<br>goose steps are drowning out the true nature of your marching orders, according<br>to the plain sense of Scripture. It *is* all about your Pied Piper and your <br>"security" in *his* domain. Many who are deceived want to be; reevaluating <br>cherished beliefs and traditions isn't comfortable, and if one's truly honest he<br>may have to make a decision the "natural" man would rather not. Thanks be to <br>God many have seen his true colors, unfortunately for many the hard way--but<br>worth every blessed free breath. And for those who think this post is doing<br>exactly what is being condemned, serious conservative Christians know to<br>what standard they are held. II Timothy 3:16 is applicable.<br><br>On another note concerning the blood spilt by the "church," let's not forget the<br>1,700 years or so of its bloody persecution against the Jews, its treatment of<br>the indigenous
Indians of the Caribbean and Latin America (completely <br>annihilating whole cultures through bloodshed), and those Reformed churchgoing<br>New England Yankees and their prosperous bloody slave trade (besides<br>Southern slavery as it was), and least we forget, the over 300 years of bloody<br>religious wars in Europe. God holds all to account.<br><br><Scimitar><br><p>
