Do you know, all of a sudden I feel really sorry for you.
After a days worth of religious pap, I didn't think you could get any worse, well, you proved me wrong.
Anyone that can put the above out for the whole world to see, really should be offered the comfort of sympathetic ears. To help lessen your pain.
Here's the bit that makes me feel sorry for you, you won't find such reassurance on this site.

Re: Christian Science
 

Let me get this straight. During the Second World War, the German public were not innocent only our children, because thats what your insinuating.
Don't get me wrong my Grandparents were involved in the war, one of whom saw action at Nijmegan and wss amoung the first Allied Soldiers into Belsen. But that was the past, your comments are rather bigoted to say the least.
When I visited Ghana, with work, we visited a Slave Museum with our guide. I felt ashamed, even though it was in the past, much like the Nazi Attrocoties are.

Re: Christian Science
 

Did you know that crossing one's fingers is a way of making the sign of the cross. Not many people know that. There are many idioms in common speech that originate in the bible like for example, "A little bird told me" when a person does not wish to disclose a source.

Ecclesiastes 10:20 KJV King James Version
Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber : for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.

Re: Christian Science
 

Wow! Just got up (morning here of course) and decided to start the day off with a look at Accy Web while having my usual shot of caffeine. Always enjoy this start to the day - but this morning I have had a rude awakening (and not of the religious sort!). I am absolutely gobsmacked at all the drivel from K99WARD, is he having us on? Still it takes all sorts, and we all have a right to our opinions. Just shouldn't bombard others with it.
I notice he has only just joined - but I would think he has written more words in this short time than most of us have written over the years, though hopefully ours have been of more interest or whatever.
Certainly loves to see himself in print - wonder if he likes to hear himself talk as much.
After reading some of his spouting off (can't bring myself to read all of it!!!) think I'll go back to bed for the day.....

Re: Christian Science
 

Wow, crossing your fingers makes a cross, who`d have thought it.:rolleyes:
And even less care.

Re: Christian Science
 

This is going to be a bit of a thread wander, but I reckon we deserve it.

K99....I don't know if you know this,but what you have done today is really very bad mannered. and I know that people of your age set great store by good manners.

You have come onto this forum, started a contentious thread and pontificated all day without having introduced yourself.
We know absolutely nothing about you, other than you are and evangelistic christian who seems to have an answer for everything and dismisses the opinions of others who frequent this forum.
Your bad manners is akin to me coming into your home, sitting down at your table and dipping my bread into your gravy.
Now I don't know what the etiquette of other forums might be......but here you should introduce yourself.

Re: Christian Science
 

Btw, I wonder how many 'good deeds' K99WARD does....wouldn't have much time to spare to help others after looking up all the quotes he is so fond of using and so very kindly sharing them with us.....
.....am crossing my fingers that he has run out of things to say. Don't think it will work somehow.

Re: Christian Science
 

Sorry but I am not sure I believe you. It's usually the other way round and christian ministers avoids JW's because of the way most religions bend the bible to mean what they want it to mean

Hi dotti,

I wonder what they teach at school these days. Does one take 'A' levels in Agnostics?

Re: Christian Science
 

Hi Margaret,

What makes you all come to this thread. It's been dead for ages and then I come and you all wake up. Why not try another thread? Remember that it is fuel that makes a fire.

Proverbs 26:20

Because you`ve revived it. It shows up as a when you click a certain button (not going to give you any clues), and it`s probably best to keep it going then you don`t start preaching on other threads.

Re: Christian Science
 

You are right of course, Margaret, but that is because most Ministers haven't taken the trouble to study the cults. The churches in the main these days no longer preach the gospel. If they did they would have no congregations. TV represents the church as a lot of weaklings and most of them are. It takes guts and God to stand up for the faith. Jesus said, "And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life."

Christian Science
 

And you don't seem to have studied the quote how did you change Neil into Margaret?
Is it a miracle or are you a bit of a cult yourself?

Re: Christian Science
 

Hi Margaret,

I don't mind you dipping your bread in my gravy as long as you don't betray me for thirty pieces of silver afterwards but there will be no communion wine. :)

Re: Christian Science
 

Margaret wants to know a bit about me so here goes. I am just a plain ordinary bible believing Christian like Billy Graham. I try to read well so that you lot can't seriously trip me up. You may be a bit upset because my creed is not yours. I don't support Accrington Stanley, not because I have anything against them but I am not interested in football. Well I guess that's all you need to know. I was very happily married for twenty seven years until the death of my wife. I loved her so much that I haven't looked at another woman since except perhaps to say hello or good morning.

Re: Christian Science
 

Hi dotti,

Good deeds do not save, indeed good works before salvation are repugnant to God. I have that on the good authority of the Church of Engand who deemed it fit to include in their thirty nine articles of faith. Since it happens to be number XIII I call it "unlucky for some."

Re: Christian Science
 

My schooling was in the days, K99WARD, long before 'A' levels and the like were awarded - when blackboards and chalk, pens with nibs and ink in inkwells - useful for the boys to dip the girls plaits in, were used - so I do thank you for assuming (or so it would seem) that I am a more recent scholar. If only....
On the other hand I have to say that you really are full of it!!!!!!!

Re: Christian Science
 

Oops! I could say something about great minds and all that as we seem to have posted our entries at the same time - but thankfully MY mind is not full of biased theological clap-trap, so I decline.
Btw, who says that what the different religious entities believe is correct. I could enter many arguments here - but it would be a complete waste of time. Have better things to do.

Re: Christian Science
 

I dare say that can be arranged but God would rather you repent. Don't people like a good scrap? It reminds me of school when I would take on six bullies at once and when one of them got downed they would howl liked whipped puppies and run off to tell teacher.

No need, I volunteer. Then again, perhaps we are already there and you are the red hot poker.

Re: Christian Science
 

When The reformation took place, I think in the 1500s, it was the best thing that ever happened to England. Of course the Roman Catholic Church would tell a different story all about Henry VIII and his many wives which was of course true but it got rid of all the religious claptrap that was going on like the selling of indulgences and prayers for the dead that are nowhere mentioned in scripture. They were not perfect even then but it was a step in the right direction. Nowadays they seem to be reverting back like a dog returns to its vomit.

Re: Christian Science
 

On a serious note, K99WARD, how can you truly believe in the faith that you are preaching to us when such terrible things are happening in the world even as we write on this thread. For instance the absolute devastation in the Philippines – a deeply religious nation. Is this their reward for believing?
Now start to spout off about why this sort of thing happens. I know you will have some ridiculous reason why it is so. Maybe something about suffering brings us closer to everlasting life or some such twaddle. Or that your God is angry with all the sinners in the world and so the innocent have to suffer, etc., etc., blah! blah! blah!
Sorry fellow Webbers for bringing a bit of gloom and doom to the thread but I have just been watching the devastation on the news – and it is so terrible….
…then I was reminded of all the religious quotes that have been posted from this man (I was going to say nutter – but as I don’t know him I will keep that opinion of him to myself).

Re: Christian Science
 

I for one hope he doesn't reply to your post dotti. (Though it is an excellent one)

Re: Christian Science
 

Like you, I have no interest in sport.....of any description.
Neither do I have any interest in reading stuff from an old book......in which the accounts may or may not be true...... And in any case, the text has been translated so many times it is possible for those translators to (innocently) translated what they thought was meant. We are all aware that some things do not translate well from one language to another.
If you see it as the word of God.....then that is ok by me as long as you don't expect me to believe it.

When God actually speaks to you......then do us all a favour, record the conversation and let us hear it.
You then, just might have something that will grab our attention.

On another matter entirely, but sort of linked. I can avoid all the posts about Accrington Stanley, and other sports....They have separate sections of the forum dedicated to the like minded souls who like that kind of stuff.
In general chat, you can't avoid stuff in the same way.....humans are curious and will look at much of what is posted in this section.Why don't you see if you can have a section dedicated to what seems to please you the most?

I have to say, I don't think there would be anybody in there besides you.
Or better still why don't you see if there is a site that better suits your purpose......something like EvangelistsRus!

Reading the bible and spouting it to those who don't want to listen doesn't make you a christian either.

Re: Christian Science
 

Hi Margaret,

You seem to be quite against religion despite the following facts:

Key facts about the Church of England:

Church attendance and visits

1.7 million people take part in a Church of England service each month, a level that has been maintained since the turn of the millennium. Approximately one million participate each Sunday.

Approaching 3 million people participate in a Church of England service on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve. Thirty-five per cent of the population attend a Christmas service of some sort, rising to 42 per cent in London, nationally, and 22 per cent among those of non-Christian faiths.

The Church of England has the largest following of any denomination or faith in Britain today. More than 4 in 10 in England regard themselves as belonging to the Church of England, while 6 in 10 consider themselves Christian.

People support their local churches in many different ways at different points in their lives. Each year 3 in 10 attend regular Sunday worship and more than 4 in 10 attend a wedding in their local church, while still more attend a funeral there.

In 2009, 43 per cent of adults attended a church or place of worship for a memorial service for someone who has died and 17 per cent were seeking a quiet space. Both these proportions are increases on 22 per cent and 12 per cent respectively in 2001.

85 per cent of the population visit a church or place of worship in the course of a year, for reasons ranging from participating in worship to attending social events or simply wanting a quiet space.

Every year, around 12 million people visit Church of England cathedrals, including 300,000 pupils on school visits. Three of England's top five historic 'visitor attractions' are York Minster, Canterbury Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.


Sorry it didn't come out as a table. One wonders why you visit this thread when you are so against Christianity. Perhaps you would like to give us the lowdown on your religion. I for one would be interested. It will give me the opportunity of doing some research on it.

Re: Christian Science

Re: Christian Science
 

You misrepresent me yet again.
I have not said that I am against religion. That is an assumption you, yourself have made.
My spirituality is my business, it has nothing at all to do with you.
It is not something I care to discuss on an open forum. I would never discuss my beliefs, they are private.
Please do me the courtesy of not putting words into my mouth that I haven't said.
You do not know me well enough.

Re: Christian Science
 

An interesting post Margaret but does an airline pilot check the date on his flight manual before he takes the joystick? I think not. Some documents are important regardless of age, especially ones concerning YOUR eternal welfare. Better watch out. You might die in bed tonight.

Re: Christian Science
 

Hi Kevin,

Still talking rot aren't you? I can turn wine into water, I have even been tempted by the devil outside my local pub, I said, 'get thee behind me Satan and push me in'.

However, my eye doesn't offend me so I'll leave it where it is.

If anyone needs to find a cure it must be you, all that on site religious diarrhea you keep spouting must be taking it out of you.

Re: Christian Science
 

I can also turn alcoholic products into water, though its rather yellow in colour

Re: Christian Science
 

Never having been an airline pilot, I cannot answer your question....and it is a very poor analogy that you use to illustrate a point.
Your comment does not address the number of times the book you refer to, has been translated or to any possibility that some things simply do not tranlate well into other languages, or to the veracity of the translators. these things have to be considered.

If I die in bed tonight you need not worry about my eternal welfare, and neither do I.
(You really are a peal of Joybells aren't you)

Re: Christian Science
 

Rob...just don't make me any tea with that water :D

Re: Christian Science
 

You had better ask BG, sorry Boeing Guy, about the flight manual, my bet is that he does check it.

Are you threatening a member? It certainly looks like it, I'll report your post just in case, so that the mods can decide.
:D

Re: Christian Science
 

Actually, having upto date manuals on board is a legal requirement and its not called a Joystick, its a Control Column or Yoke (mainly for Boeings) and a Side Stick (mainly Airbus).
I suspect you wrote this to infuriate me, sorry to disapoint.

Btw, I changed my Avatar and Sign off, just for you, I do hope you like it.:eek:

It is a common failing of man (and woman) to blame God for man's sin. My wife used to call it "blaming the back shift." So you say, "why doesn't he intervene?" The answer lies in his love. We would all perish for our sins as he doesn't show preferences. He prefers to await his coming again when the saved will be with him in heaven and the unsaved will reap their reward. Just join the losing queue.

Hi Kevin,
Well, I don't blame any mans God for anyones sins, but then if I had a God he wouldn't be as vengeful as yours.

Billy Graham is a man who didn't fall prey to the devil. He had a rule never to be alone with a woman except his wife and daughter. He never got a cut of the takings (offerings) but instead elected to take a salary.

18 For the Scripture saith, “Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn,” and, “The laborer is worthy of his reward.”

Answer
Ezekiel 18:32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!
Ezekiel 33:11 Say to them, As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?

I don't think you have hit a black spot, just that people see less relevance of religion in their lives......and I would hazard a guess that this would be the case in what ever town you raised these issues.
