    NVL..

    I`m sitting here laughing,because sometimes Truth can be Funny..

    You make a good point..

    A person should not be able to claim your a Drunk,because Jesus told them..

    Even if it`s true..

    There should be more proof,than something you can`t prove..

    When your talking about another persons character..

    Cog..

    I am the last person that wants Comedy stopped on this Forum..

    Comedy is a platform I mostly post from..

    Removing Comedy,would Greatly Inhibit what I have to say here ..

    Comedy helps people see things in a way,they may never get to Experience Otherwise..

    Competely taking over someones thread,is a different matter..

    There are times when I`m on someones thread and my Head is Flooded with Funny Shit to say..

    I have to be carefull not to Hi-Jack that persons thread..I could do it..

    But..It`s not right..

    There comes a time,to let the Thread get Back on Track..

    Shelby..

    It`s on your Church Thread..I`ll repost it..

    Outlaw, yeah, that's my biggest thing. We can have debates on God, Jesus, science, religion, sports, whatever, all day in good fun, poke at each others ideas, no problem. It's when it turns to "My <insert deity here> said your life will turn to crap, you are a drunk, you are a liar" that it gets out of hand.

    BTW, I may try one of the cigars I got in St. Augustine tonight and let you know if they are any good.

    Now here is a statement I can agree with

    I am truly sorry, dear Glad. I do not wish to confuse you or anyone. But I think what you and a few others are confused ABOUT... is what is occurring with YOU. You want to utterly dismiss what I share. You want to completely and unequivocally reject what I state. But you cannot. And you want to blame me for that rather than asking yourselves WHY does what she share "speak" to me?? Why can't I just walk away... not open her threads... NOT read her posts? I don't believe her, at all... and yet... here I am. Again.

    The answers to your confusion lie within you, dear Glad. Not outside... or with me.

    Quite a few of you don't agree with her for a wide range of reasons. But still you have to come in and post and yea take the attention off the topic and put it on Shelby or on her relationship with God or on mental health issues or. . . .

    I have to agree with her on this one. And disagree because I suspect that the reason Shelby thinks you can't resist the urge to post on her topics is very different that why I think you can't resist the urge ultimately the answer is within each of you.

    And as for the comment about a previous post - good grief if I had been attacked on this board as many times as Shelby I would probably have said a lot worse by now

    I think NVL's posts are always keeping within the "spirit" of the thread topic. I really believe the offense is taken because he is bang on in his delivery and sometimes the truth hurts. We have two choices. Get offended, or laugh at ourselves and see the "truth" in the comedy.

    LL, the very basis for her posts ARE her relationship with god, that's their foundation and everything she posts includes that and flows from it. It seems to me that would be up for discussion since she displays and parades it in EVERY message.

    For example, I know that both tec and Psac have relationships with god, but EVERY post, rarely, in fact, put that relationship on display and they rarely claim righteousness in their statements (some of which from Shelby are disparaging of others character and prohecy doom) are direct revelation and the stone cold word of their diety to them. They do not make it personal, IOW, when disagreements happen.

    oh, and Outlaw, sometimes I AM a drunk, but not lately. I can know that about myself :)

    I haven't had any good scotch in ages.

    I very clearly addressed my posts to Lady Lee, SixofNine and Outlaw. I don't know where in the WORLD you got the idea I was assuming you were the one who took issues with what others wish to post to you...perhaps from not reading again?

    I'm beginning to think you're not even reading your own posts, dear CD (peace to you!)... as, clearly, not all were addressed to dear LL, Six, or Outlaw...

    If I am announing faith in our Lord then clearly I am not.

    Okay, so you're not an atheist. Good. Now we only need to establish what god it is you serve.

    As to who I serve, why is OUR Lord, the Son of Man, the Word, the Son of the Father, the Christ, the Messiah.

    MY Lord has a name, NVL: JaheShua MischaJah. My FATHER has a name: JAH... of Armies. What is the name of YOUR lord... and god? WHO... is the "christ" that you claim to serve?

    as you may have noticed, Lady Lee has requested we stop the name calling. I think that calling someone a liar in the name of our Lord would qualify.

    I disagree. I did not call you a name. I described what you were/would be doing. Lying. I realize that that is now considered a "dirty" word... tantamount to the "n" word, apparently, but truly, it isn't. At least, not to those who speak the TRUTH. It is only dirty... to those who lie... and don't want to be exposed as liars.

    I could just as easily repeat the warnings He asked me to deliver to you and which you have ignored in your hard hearted ignorance and obstinance, but I will not do so.

    You could. And because, unlike you... I gave YOU the benefit of the doubt, so that I spent a great deal of time in prayer and discussion with the Holy One of Israel, who is the Holy Spirit, asking if indeed you WERE in fact sent to speak to me, warn me, caution... so that I did not disregard one sent to me... and did not speak against a chosen one... I was told by my Lord that while you are indeed Israel, you are a blasphemer and false prophet... and have only attempted to invoke a "lord" so as to try and give me counsel... which appears credible... but it actually false... that you heart is FAR removed from the True God, that indeed, you will post more blasphemies... because you do not have enough sense to even know that you are... because you trust in your own understanding.

    Our Lord has directed me to inform you that your gifts do not include speaking to other spirits or putting them to the question,

    since it is obvious to HIM that you belive me to be occupied by an unclean spirit.

    You again lie. First, "we" have no shared "lord." Anyone can call themself "christ"... or "messiah"... or "the son of God." Indeed, many do. And many call the Bible "the Word." All of those are merely titles, descriptions. My Lord... and my God... both have names. Yours apparently do not... or you do not KNOW them... or do have the authority to utter them. Or all three.

    Second, my gift absolutely includes hearing... and speaking to other spirits when granted to do so... as well as question them AND cast them out... as such as been granted me by the Holy One of Israel and Holy Spirit, JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH. Which is why I can hear the spirit that is leading (or should I say, misleading) you.

    Our Lord also directs me to inform you that you cannot put HIM to the question are you are now doing.

    Well, then you should tell YOUR "lord"... that it is the Holy One of Israel, JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH, the Holy Spirit, to whom ALL authority, in heaven AND on earth have been given... who grants authority to me... to both hear... and question YOUR "lord." So, based on that and in the name of JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH, I ask you again, spirit... what is your name? By what are you called?

    As you brought up the war on the atheist thread, I will note that no one suggested you should not be able to post your dissenting view there, did they?

    They did, dear CD. More than once, I believe. Which is why I ultimately left the thread... and another that followed it (I was actually "df'd" from that one).

    Again, peace to you!

    Sorry I'm late. What'd I miss?

    They call the city "San Francisco," although the ENGLISH translation is "Saint Frances."

    This discussion reminds me of another fictional character, Ron Burgundy.

    Ron Burgundy: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.
    Veronica Corningstone: No, there's no way that's correct.
    Ron Burgundy: I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest, I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago.
    Veronica Corningstone: Doesn't it mean Saint Diego?
    Ron Burgundy: No. No.
    Veronica Corningstone: No, that's - that's what it means. Really.
    Ron Burgundy: Agree to disagree.
