Uh... Tom? (No 'dearest'; just peace to you)...
Since I am otherwise unoccupied this fine day... and none of the other threads 'intrigue' me quite as much as this one... and I have no direction (or desire) to start a new thread... what say we just 'go' with this one:
I told you, Shelby, that "dearest" schtuff gives me the Kreeps!
Yes, and I am starting to notice a 'pattern'... it seems that the men without women/wives in their lives, take offense at such things. P'haps you need a HUG, Tom Tally... from a girl.
With regard to my request to respond:
Well, I was hoping one of these days, you'd start...
Wait no longer, dude.
nahhh, I just read ahead and you didn't even respond to my question of "why you think you bees of the tribe of Benjamin"?
Because I am.
"How you came into access of Jewish genealogical records"?
I didn't.
Or was that just another whispered 'revelation'?
Well... DUH! Do you seriously think my Father doesn't know through whose veins flows the blood of His friend, Abraham... in whatever 'fraction'?
much less all the other questions I put to you?
Okay, so call me 'slow'. Ask less questions, or state them clearer.
Tell us, Shel, if you asked that voice which you hear:
"Hey man, are you Beelzebub?"... do you think that "spirit" would tell you the truth?"
Oh, yes, indeed. Not only that, the OTHER voice, my Lord's told me what the word 'Beelzebub' means. Scholars think it translates into "God/Lord of the Flies". In truth, it means "god of the unclean winged [flying] things." But then, you knew that, didn't 'ya, Tom?
Reading down a little further in that passage, the Master was urging his disciples not to fear, yet you will not even use the name of a poster here: "Abaddon"... you're a scarted to ... you just use the letter "A" when referring to this poster.
Noooooo, Tommy. I ain't 'ascared'. If you will read my disclaimer, I stated that I wasn't comfortable using the name "Abaddon" with the term of endearment "dearest". But then, you knew THAT, too, yes, Tom? Just like you know you managed to take a part of what I said and turn it into what you wish folks to believe? Yes, you knew that, didn't 'ya, Tommy, dear?
What are you afraid of, Shel?
That folks like you are going to take folks who've already been 'spiritually' damaged... and put them completely to death. Spiritually. That gives me GREAT fear... for them... and for those like you.
Do you use "S" for Satan, and dare not use that designation?
Satan? The Devil? The "Adversary" of my Lord, my brothers and I? Satan has no 'hold' on my Lord, who is my 'refuge'; why in heaven and on EARTH, then, would I need to fear him? Satan is impotent, Tom. Too many people, though, don't know that. He can only do what we 'let' him. He has no 'power'.
Or do you just say "D" for the Devil because you are fearful to use the FULL word?
Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil... so now what?
And yet, a few days ago, you asked me what I was fearful of, because I questioned that you'd been suckered in by a seducing spirit to take part in an Occult Ceremony, called 'glossalalia'...
Indeed, I did ask you that. The REAL question, however, is DID YOU GET THE SENSE OF WHAT I ASKED? Obviously... not.
Are you comparing yourself to Jesus?
Is this one of those 'straw man' thingies you and the other 'intellects' keep referring to? Do you THINK I compared myself to "Jesus"? Or did I simply state what my Lord was recorded to have said... and left YOU... to discern the point? Methinks it was the latter, but expecting you to discern may have been a bit of a stretch. Ya think?
(messiah-complex pops up again!)
Can a messiah HAVE a "messiah" complex? Let me ask you, Tom Tally, and you tell ME, if you will... what is the meaning of the word "messiah"? And "christian"... what is the meaning of THAT word? Are they not one and the same? (Hmmmm... do I smell smoke? Don't think TOO hard, dear one...)
Are you comparing me to a Pharisee?
Er? Did I compare you to anything at all?
Have you been expelling demons lately, Shel?
No, not lately, Tom. Why? You need some assistance getting rid of one? That's not really my particulary 'gift', but I am SURE that if you exercise a little faith... and I exercise a little faith... we can 'wash that demon'... 'right out of your'... what, heart? Is that where you're keeping it?
Have you added that to your "Gifts" list?
Asked... and answered.
Healed anyone lately?
No, but I know one who has. Two people, in fact. Why? You got something what needs healing? I can put in a word for you and, like I said before... if YOU exercise a little faith... and HE exercises a little faith... well, who's to say what all you might be 'rid' of?
I could use a good-... never mind!
You seem to already HAVE a good 'never' mind: "never say or tell me anything I don't have the faith to 'receive'." Never. Ever.
You're convincing me more than ever with this Text-Bombing you put out here, that you've been grabbed a hold of by "the lord of dung"...
Don't rightly know what 'text-bombing' is, Tom... like I said, I don't consider myself to be the 'brightest' crayon in the box... but I DO know that blasphemy against the spirit is a fairly serious matter...
and it ain't a pretty sight.
What, blasphemy against the spirit? 'You know', Tom, I think I'm gonna have to agree 'wit cha... NOT 'pretty' at all!
or it's as Randy diagnosed: MALIGNANT NARCISSISM
Well, of course, "Dr." Randy is entitled to his opini... uh, 'diagnosis'. Most assuredly so.
Shelby, from where you are standing RIGHT NOW... can you see the Deep End?
Actually, dear one... I am sitting. And no, even then I can't see it, because I can't see across the chasm between me and it. BUT... perhaps you can give us a description of it from where YOU'RE standi... uh, sitting. Waddya say?
(p.s. So, are you going to save us by flying up in a Hurricane Hunter when the next Big Ill Wind blows towards the East Coast?)
Sorry, dear one... I live on the WEST Coast and don't get to the East one very often. And we don't have hurricanes out c'here.
(p.s.s. "Text-Bombing" gets O-l-d, Fast!)
We're ALL getting old 'fast', Tom. Some of us just don't LOOK it... yet.
My peace remains, as I remain...
YOUR servant and a slave of Christ,
SJ
