Of course you would find it offensive....truth is always offensive to its gainsayers!

I'm sure a compassionate solution is available without being exploited. Unscrupulous operators will always be. How is it that we can land men on the moon....make computers that boggle the mind.....spend billions upon billions on war and its maintenance yet need to put draconian policies in place...

and hello to you young woman....lovely to see your smiling face!

I probably used the wrong term by saying 'ethnicity' by which I meant Israel, but seeing you defined it as all of God's people why do you not interpret the 'holy land' to be consistent with 'Israel' ie, that it refers to the whole earth (made new)? To make it unambiguous, what I see you doing...

You argue as a true Jesuit....jumping to any square on the checkerboard if you think it suits your purpose....and proudly justifying it!

With respect Keraz....I see your zeal. I can however not see God peddling favouritism for a particular ethnicity. I do however see God's attempt to convey his Salvation to mankind in any metaphor possible......amongst the many of which he has used a particular ethnicity. It is denying God's long...

We want, we want, we want good input yet the amount of foolish threads and foolishness posted gives those who are thoughtful and sincere little incentive of coming back. I also have the recurring thought of leaving find a foothold. How the rightness of the right presents is offensive to me. It...

The poorer countries live in a fantasy about the rich countries just as the rich countries live in a fantasy about their own and the denial of the struggle of the poor. The mainstream movement of the kingdom of men is oppressive when there is something to gain.....even when there is nothing to...

If we are to go by the scripture, the expression 'brothers and sisters' which is applied to Jesus's immediate family, is an interesting one. However, if preconceptions, if denial, if the teachings of an institution are the guide then an admittance to our willingness to dismiss what can be easily...

gossip is the unconstrained conversation or reports about other people (mostly negative). It usually involves the inability to discern when information received is to be kept to oneself as opposed to information able to be shared.

Only foolishness uses scripture to fight scripture. So why is it done?.... Because the vision it is there to give has been refused and getting a camel through the eye of a needle preferred.

I'm glad you liked the ditty Addy. I get in a mood at times and it rolls. But on a more serious note (would you call that a twang?)...no, I better stop. We are privileged beyond measure....our status is Royalty. God's unfathomable generosity towards the outcasts of the created order has made...

we should turn white, we hardly do, its on account of blacks we've given them the shortest stick and one that's full of cracks the bit of snow on steeper plains, I suppose you'd call them hills we strap a nice plank to our boots, thats how we get our thrills.

ahhhhh, we are a bunch of jokers in the land that's brown and wide and if you get to see the edges you'll probably see the tide!

you said in your previous post you were the woman at the well. I figure it wasn't the one you let a bucket down at to get water so I figured you' have your own like my question.

I see Addy. Was it, 'well, what are you going to do with me'? :)

It's not odd amigo. The RCC has turned all the old pagan deities into saints....they've just renamed them after the apostles. They've done the same with the mother and child. The simple and effective early Church and message of the Gospel has been hijacked by a later generation of politically...

Daring to limit God's generosity has always been the message of the self absorbed and greedy. Though not seeing God's overwhelming generosity towards themselves even, they insist it is not for certain others.....how presumptuous!

a person who does it for the money/gain yet has no vested interest.
