Why would you say that!? Alright you got me, I'm trolling. Would you like me to troll fast? Or troll slow?
if we're going fishing i'm not sure it counts as trolling past a certain speed...?

Yes mommy.Of course you don't get it.
Not by calling anyone sand witches.
You will not get anyone to make you one
that way!
Now go get your own!
Why do you keep pushing the forgiveness topic?Dear @Looking4Me
Brings peace of mind so you don't drive yourself crazy.
When you pick things apart, humans are irredeemable, mucked up beyond repair.
There is no hope we can help ourselves get over ourselves.
I think you see this, there is really no rational way to justify human beliefs.
But free grace means we don't waste our minds time energy or life holding the past against ourselves or others.
We can acknowledge it is messed up,
but still enjoy today and what good we can make of what we have.
My friend Ray a proud funny atheist continued teaching the key of forgiveness as "cheap grace" in life that just naturally is, long after he gave up Christianity.
Nothing stops you from changing and doing or thinking something different today if you didn't like what you were doing before.
He called it not keeping inventory on yourself or you go nuts.
Worse, if you cannot do that but try keeping inventory on others, you really will be miserable and mad all the time.
He kindly pleaded with people: please don't do that to yourself. Please forgive so you don't make yourself crazy, for your own sanity sake!
He had counseled people after murder, whether the survivors or the offenders.
He told me he had worked with people considered monsters, who raped and killed anyone from grandmothers to babies and were deemed worthless inhumans to society.
But each one facing life in prison or the death penalty had time to spend.
They could either stay miserable
Or they could focus on the gift of life and humanity.
He helped a lot of people forgive and let go. Even though as an atheist he called it free grace
It still worked the same way for the Christian as the Buddhist.
I think he had an advantage, being brought up Christian as a Baptist until age 19 when he realized he was secular nontheist.
The prayers to God through Jesus were not his way.
But he found his calling reaching the really lost in prisons nobody else could reach.
I still see his message as a neighbor in Christ.
It is still God's love and redeeming grace through Christ, by any other name.
It is universal. The gift of forgiveness
is the one thing that breaks the cycle of suffering.
Or the human mind would never let go
but forever stew in its own misery.
Actually I was ripping off a Futurama moment.@Looking4Me i got one of the lizards in my backyard today ((ha! Proverbs 30:28))
i don't think they're stinky. anoles & skinks. skinky, yes - smelly, not so much?
also i met a bearded dragon yesterday in the park, named Terrence. he was very mild mannered -- what kind were you after?

I'm sure you notice:Why do you keep pushing the forgiveness topic?
Saying 3 things together is no kind of proclamation of the trinity by other words. The 1C uses singular pronoun, which is no kind of 3. By contrast, many times Scripture explicitly says God is One alone and there is no other. Again, this is no kind of 3.
I, the Eternal One, am your God and there is no other.
Joel 2:2
Again, saying 3 things together does not make them God. 3 witnesses are not 1 witness.
God is not 3 when you want and 3 when you want. Revelations talks about the 7 Spirits of God. Does that make God 7 or 9? Neither. There is only one God, Jesus’ God. NOTE: Below does not state Jesus is part of the one true God. Nor does it say the Holy Spirit is part of the one true God. It states the Father is the one true God.
John 17:1,3
Complete Jewish Bible
Father ... And eternal life is this: to know you, the one true God, and him whom you sent, Yeshua the Messiah.
Think again. The Fruit of the Spirit is Peace - not tolerating endless dissension. What does Scripture say about those who cause dissension?
Warn troublemakers once or twice. Then don’t have anything else to do with them.
Titus 3:10 (CEV)
I'm sure you notice:
Most people pushing their issues on others
are projecting from their past experiences.
The more we forgive, the less we project.
I hope to see an end to both religious and political abuse and bullying when more people and groups figure this out!
I believe the whole internet and media will change how we use these when we forgive and make peace instead of project and make war.
Big difference from anyone stirring up dissension as a troublemaker, and contending for the faith.
The modalist Jesus on the cross: myself, myself, why have I forsaken me?
LOL You do not have to 'contend' for your doctrine in threads about other matters.
Are you from Australia?lol i had forgotten that one
well dang; we don't have parrots here
how about a magpie?
Dear @Curtis@Wrangler
SEE previous msg
I think you and I are getting closer to pinpointing where the conflict is coming
GOD as Creator is infinite
These other manifestations that humans can perceive and represent are finite
We need a better way to clarify
Different contexts
I agree with you that God and Jesus in different contexts are not the same
Jesus is God also has 3 different interpretations.
So they have to match the context.
I will work with you to spell out them out,
Which may better explain the three manifestions of God as
*which contexts mean God the Creator or Father
* which mean the Law/Justice or Word or Authority of God as Lord through Jesus
* which contexts mean the Holy Spirit of God's Love spirit of truth or peace through humanity
Very interesting
Since you have discernment in this, we can work on wording and explaining it where it is consistent to you. Then if post or others agree it sounds consistent to them,
we will have pinpointed where the problem
is coming from.
Both would say: But that is what I meant and was saying in the first place!
But we will explain why it looked like you were saying something conflicting
And THAT was where the objections were coming from
Let's work on this!
Are you from Australia?
And they try to make Isaiah 53:4-6 about Israel, too - when clearly it’s not.Psalm 22 is a song with a name. It's called 'the hind of the morning'
Jesus is not the hind. It's Israel. Read the whole thing. He sings the beginning of their part of the duet, and every Jew there knew it. They are thinking God has forsaken them, even while there is God, laying down His own life, saving them. At the end of the song it becomes clear that they were never forsaken.
Like you do, you mean?LOL You do not have to 'contend' for your doctrine in threads about other matters.
Like you do, you mean?
