and don't give me that parrot phrase "the life is in the blood.".

that tells me nothing.. of course, life is in the blood because if you don't have blood you would not be alive.. .

what i want to know is what makes your blood any more sacred or special than mine?.

jesus christ was born of holy spirit, and is the son of god; the almighty.. the seed of jesus christ was placed in the womb of his earlthy mother to mature.. jesus christ was a perfect man, therrfore no impurities of imperfection passed on to jesus christ.. it is written; a bad tree cannot produce good fruit, therefore jesus christ was soley of god, and not of mary.. i am the son of man, who am i ?.

the son of man is none other then the faithful and discreet slave.......of human decent.. he will pierce the heart of satan the devil in due season.......amen.

the final blow will come from "god the almighty" as the wicked are devoured before the eyes of humankind........ we are in the final hour of human existance as we know it.

families with younger children had to sit in the last 3 rows or they were counseled!.

...aside from the snooze fest that was the "bible study", taken by a brother who was 5 minutes late - went 10 minutes over and obiously hadn't prepared shit for the meeting (this is the same brother that "encouraged" me to be 15 minutes early for all meetings to welcome people).

1) i had the no3 talk, about "christians helping the poor", no source material or anything.

i played it good, spoke about our duty to be good christians, and charitable to everyone, and how it is a conscience matter as to how we donate our money or charitable deeds.i even used a quote by mother theresa.

so i go to the trader joes the other day and notice a really attractive .

woman in produce, but i can't place her....so i follow her over to the bread aisle, and got a better view of her face....but still could not figure out where i knew her from....so i finally said "excuse me, but you look so familiar, i almost know we have met before.

she looks me right in the eyes and says, (without smiling) "'i'm pretty sure you're the father of one of my kids.
