I was permanently banned from the same forum E is talking about because I questioned one of their new rules (They love to come up with new rules all the time). They posted that I was banned for rejecting all their rules.

The one thing I truly wish we (collectively) could learn to simply say is, " Ya know, I honestly don't know the answer to that."

There is definite wisdom in that realization.

About the only thing we haven't yet learned here is that there doesn't necessarily have to be someone right, and someone wrong. Often five or six of us can be talking, with five or six different points of view… and ALL of us can be wrong. But, we haven't caught onto that yet.

I think Augustine said it well when he said this in a sermon on 1 John 4:4-12, I believe it was: See what we are insisting upon; that the deeds of men are only discerned by the root of charity. For many things may be done that have a good appearance, and yet proceed not from the root of...

That was kind of my whole point. Many people search diligently for "Laws" to put themselves under... I suppose that they think they are thus pleasing God in some better way.

We have 12 Crossfits in the Tampa Bay area. But, I admit that I still go to the "Y".

Well, the gym call is early tomorrow, so I'm off to bed.

Step ladder? What's that?

It's kind of a plug for one of his books. In all seriousness, we are very blessed to have this man find us, he will be a fantastic addition to the forum. BTW, maybe not as good a beard, but 6'5" here.

(Just don't ever admit to him that you are a tall person...… he has a thing about that. LOL)

This is what has started most of our (Ezra & Me) discussions in the past. I read almost every book I can afford.

Does this mean you intend to stone your rebellious teenager to death? It is, after all, a "command" that you are to prove you love God by obeying. What you are attempting to do is exactly what I mean by, "games." Why not just knock it off right now?

Posted?" "Yes." But, 'unchallenged?' Forget that pipe dream. (Hi, Ezra...… long time, no see.)

Hee Hee

Notice, now, that I deliberately did that so that you would prove something all on your own. In your first post, you stopped short, leaving it looking like the only animals we could eat were just those you listed. When pushed a little on it, you then went to the chicken. I could now push a...

Well, Sir, you be flat outta luck with chicken.

Reading — and actually reading to see what is truly written, not just reading to attempt to affirm what we were told, is something a very small percentage of Christians seem capable of doing.

Preferably, bacon.
