There are always several perseverance threads up and running, folks. .

Lol - the derailment is quickly reaching critical mass. .

Dude, I meant "Cult!" Try to keep up (or back up, or something). :p Maybe you need a nap. :nitenite: I think I could probably use one. .

Dude, I meant "Cancer!" :p .

Unless you count communist babies. .

So, so far, in terms of avoiding the fairness/incredulity/projection template:

Then let God's word be true and every man a liar. .

I have edited the post to better address the situation. Which changes nothing, essentially. .

I've just noticed that some folks like to throw the C-word around more than others. If the shoe fits... If not, you're off the hook, I would say. .

Nevvaaahh! .

I wish you luck in converting the "cult followers." .

I used to be a member of that "cult" many years ago. I'm glad I didn't hear anyone call it that when I was in the process of seeking more wisdom. I notice you regard the New King James well enough to give it a mention. .

And, Voila, you're getting ever nearer to that lowest and most grotesque denominator. Children who are confused about human sexuality shouldn't be denied the remedial help they need just because Gabriel Fernandez's parents did something worthy of a public hanging. And to deny them such help...

I've never really interpreted that verse as depicting gradual growth but it's an interesting thought. I would say that wisdom is rewarded rather than earned. I'm pretty well settled in the Wesleyan-Arminian camp as far as depravity goes. .

The ones where you keep adding (like lack of social and family support) to what it takes to cause mental illness in children who are confused about human sexuality... And taking away specific adverb/adjective descriptors like direct(ly) as in: Why doesn't this say "is a/the direct cause of...

I don't think I'm going to be able to unfold the mystery of godliness to any skeptical ears that might be listening in. But I think there's enough evidence in the Bible that Christ and His Spirit are the source of all life, both temporal and spiritual, and that to every man is dealt a measure...

No doubt. But you're shifting the goalposts. Confused children need help. If they don't get it from family or friends, they get sicker. And, no, not as in your magnification "subhuman" sickness that turns the sufferer into the disease itself. All of the awful stuff you like to trot out can...

That actually sounds kinda dangerous. (even in the microwave ;) ) .

And I'd say we're not dependent enough on it, but certainly not in the way I believe you'd normally object to, especially if you could peek inside my head. I'd say that I'm sympathetic to Twain's idea of not being as concerned with what he didn't understand as with what he did understand and...

Now that I think about it, I've actually made a very nice and very similar oil-free sauce with nothing but water, roasted cashews, and salt in a blender. My old Ninja blender actually had steep enough clearance angles on the thick blades that it would actually heat and thicken the stuff up while...
