    @ we have very little power to change the world.

    This is where the world went astray. We have power to change the world. See what Yehoshua did. He calmed the storm, cured the sick, raised the dead. World won't get under the yoke of Yehoshua (that would be Jesus) so world can't change the world. It really is so simple to understand. You all not understanding is making us stronger. Much stronger.

    I bet still thinking knows! Shut up, is that right?

    Why not pretend we are in the same room? Then if I said that you would get it, no?

    Did you know the bible is all strung together with no puncuation? I love it!

    Seriously, boyz (peace to you all!)... your "best shot" is to take issue with dear N.drew's (the greatest of love and peace to you, girl!) grammar and punctuation? YOU? And folks accuse ME of being a black pot...

    Ah, well... peace...

    How else do you think I could ever know? I can only pronounce/spell it so that it's pronounced as he tells it to me, though...

    And amazingly it's just like modern American English! Or is it?

    How can anybody claim to love when they view the world in these terms? This sort of mentality is contemptible . . . cofty

    This is the decider for me . . .

    The same "mentality" seems a constant across the board for dogmatic christians . . . it's exactly the same "mentality" that is the hallmark of all fundies and most "serious believers' (although I concede this is an oxymoron for some). Some sort of "divine privilege" that acts as a hedge to providing any rational, logical or reasonable response to a very basic question of moral dissonance. The WTS are the exactly the same and cause untold misery as a result . . . and quite a few here exercise exactly the same claim to the divine . . . because it obviously constitutes the only possible response to any question where a rational response cannot be supplied.

    It is insulting . . . to the intelligence of others, as well as to the original question. I'm totally with Dawkins on this aspect . . . what's buzzing round inside your head is totally irrelevant if it isn't able to address the question . . . not just you or the questioner.

    Not at all, why would you think it's a "best shot"? I am not at all above cheap shots, dear. N. Drew is abolute nutters, bonkers, bats in the belfry, on the express train to Crazy Town.

    I've tried actually conversing with him/her(?) and it's impossible, mainly because the writing is so poor it's hard to make heads or tails of the sentence structure.

    So yeah, it was a cheap shot.

    Very young....like?

    I truly don't know, dear Jay (again, peace to you!). Samuel was, what, 3? Jeremiah and John [the Baptist] weren't even born. David spoke of the Most Holy One of Israel seeing "even the embryo" of him. Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael were teenagers. The one who helped Naaman was only a girl. Yet, some were much older, even adults. So, I truly do not know. I think it depends on when the person himself manifests what he/she is... which can happen very early... or later. Someone could even have a change of heart... in either direction. So...

    Again, peace to you!

    Please come over to the "last poster" thread. What fun we could have. I don't know about them, but I'm going for the longest continual thread ever in the history of posting. We might be in a book!
