People shouting for him to turn it down, his replies useless bible witterings, a policeman arrived on the scene, considered his options and unplugged the mike.
He was cheered by the shoppers and one of them moved forward to wipe the idiots mouth foam from his uniform.

Actually one of our main speakers is called "Nutter" so he wouldn't be offended by you calling him that and he doesn't need amplification. He can be heard the length of Broadway. Come along and listen. He speaks to people of all persuasions. Who knows something might sink in. We usually start with a hymn but I am not a trained singer so don't expect too much from that department. lol

Well I do agree with you Less but we do worship a loving God who is willing to save all who will let him but man is a sinful creature and I guess God doesn't want a heaven just like the earth so those who would seek it will be required to change.

Marriage at the Resurrection

That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him. Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. Finally, the woman died. Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”

Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’b ? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”

Never heard of Fred but he looks like a guy you wouldn't want to meet on a dark night. I never bother about anti-gay myself as the holy scriptures warn about wrongful relationships. Many have made shipwreck of their lives. I don't know why they don't like the term homosexual. Maybe they think it is a stigma which of course that is exactly what it is.

If you say things on the forum you should be prepared to back them up , to clarify them or to answer questions about them .

You made this statement: " We are COMMANDED to tell the gospel. Nothing further is required of us."

I woke up to a miserably dark and wet morning and thought to brighten things up I would get my daily dose of Acc’y Web. Much to my surprise I find that K99WARD has reappeared. His postings don’t do anything to improve the day for me, still the same old, same old, but I have enjoyed reading the replies which have more than made up for this. Too many to give ‘likes’ to but take it as read.

I normally respect other people’s beliefs – but unfortunately as far as K99 is concerned this is not reciprocated, so I don’t feel bad about joining in – which I suppose is what K99 hopes for, the bigger the audience the more he feels he is doing (his) God’s work.

Got a lot of catching up to do – so many postings overnight (our time) but have picked a few so here goes:

Posting 666 – oops, just noticed the number, good one to start on - maybe enough said! You really do have a big opinion of yourself K99. Whatever you may think, this week is NOT all about you.

Accyexplorer – you need to read earlier postings on this thread and then you would know what Maxthecollie meant on posting 671.

Posting 687 – as already mentioned K99 you really are full of yourself – not very humble. Tut! Tut!

Posting 711. That’s not very nice – sounds like the ‘little helpmeet’ (Accyexplorer see posting 452 for explanation) was passed from pillar to post (or man to man). Not much respect shown for women.

Posting 720. K99, irrespective of what you have tried to portray, you apparently don’t know it all yourself but need a back-up. Disappointed in you!

K99 – please don’t take posting 726 seriously, i.e. DON’T go forth and multiply, one of you is enough. (Sorry, Eric, you know he won’t take any notice of what you really mean – too thick-skinned).

…and to finish off for now, Eric (posting 706) I tried being a born-again virgin but it doesn't work……

Given all the evil in the world, how can an all powerfull, all knowing, merciful God exist?
Either God knows about evil, cares about it but cant do anything about it..in which case he is not all powerful, or...
He cares about it, can do something about it, but doesn't know about it, in which case he is not all knowing, or.....
He knows about it, can do something about it but doesn't care about it, in which case he is neither merciful or compassionate....

During my working life I had the pleasure of meeting and working with nuns,priests and vicars. In the main they were well grounded people who had God at the centre of their lives. They didn't ram it down your throat. They did not threaten you with their brethren if you did not, or could not see their point of view.
Yet in their own ways they did what they saw as God's work. They helped patients through difficult times not just with their religion, but with earthly practical help.

You can be spiritual/religious without being evangelical/fanatical about it.
Religious belief does not have be loud, it can be just as powerful spoken in a whisper.

I am going to use one of Cashy's favourite sayings....'You can't put sense where there is none'.
He is a fanatic. They can only ever see one point of view - that is, their own.
In truth, they care not about religion or God(though they will tell you otherwise)...they only care about propounding it to others who find their message unbelievable or unacceptable.
Their evangelical ways have actually got in the way of the reason that they give for 'promoting the word'.

We all have our own beliefs....mine are my own. Just because I do not go shouting from the rooftops does not mean I have no belief,or that I (or anyone else for that matter) am unworthy.

My nod to the 'higher being' is to live my life with care and consideration...to help others if I can. If that is not enough then so be it. It is all I have got.

By grace we have been saved through faith. And this is not our own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

And about as much use as teats on a bull ... but, in all that bs of his last (hopefully) kick at the can is the core of his distorted view of Christianity. It's an old debate: faith vs good works. True Christians, like my neighbors Don and Lilly, act on their faith, demonstrate it by trying to live as good people, giving their time and their cash to help others less fortunate than themselves. For creeps like Kevin it's all about something called faith. If you have it, it doesn't really matter how you act in this sub-lunary world. The poor can stay poor; the hungry can stay hungry, the lost sheep are shiite out of luck ... it's all about faith. It's a twisted take on Calvin's predestination of the elect and the damned.

Yes Eric, in my book actions speak louder than words.
This man can do all the pontificating he likes on Broadway on a Thursday afternoon(makes mental note to stay away from Boradway on the Thursday)...all this spouting doesn not make him godly, or good(and I know he hasn't actually said it does, but the veiled implication, like the veiled threat, is there). This man believes himself to be superior to us - the hoi-polloi, by virtue of his faith and his evangelical ways.

It is those who live their lives by the tenets of Christianity, those who don't trumpet their faith, their goodness, their Godliness that impress me.
Those who do not see themsleves as doing anything out of the ordinary, those who do their deeds quietly(almost like a prayer)......like the people you mention Eric.
They promote faith(and I do not necessarily mean religion) by actions, not hollow empty words.

Many people continue to trust their own judgement even when God's inspired word says differently. This is not confined only to unbelievers but to many believers as well. Some end up in Bypath Meadow or Doubting Castle or at the Hill of Difficulty. Some fall victim to the Flatterer. It is odd how the world's best selling book is also the most hated. Fancy spending all that money just to be collecting dust on a shelf. These days the bible is repeated on the Internet over and over again in most versions. Even Google chips in with a wonderful search engine to find almost any topic in it. I confess that I use these more than a printed bible as it is much quicker to find topics that to thumb through a concordance.

Well it all boils down to whom one trusts. Do we trust in our own judgment or do we trust in the Lord. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

If you are in any doubt about the place names mentioned above then consult Google for the answers.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Gets my vote! ;)

Here's a nice quote that cannot possibly upset anyone.

"There is a way that seems right to a man but the ends thereof are the ways of death"

You appeal to Neil but he has told you the correct way already. Nobody visited this thread for four months and yet when I called in just to wish you a happy Easter many of you pounced within 30 minutes. Now what is obnoxious about wishing somebody a happy Easter? Just read your posts and ask yourself who is being aggressive. I dare say that some of you have broken the forum rules too but let's not be too pedantic about that.

Let's all be friends in the Lord. Somebody must like me—see, I got two likes. Okay not much but us believers have to be a little forgiving. It is not an easy job but the rewards are great. :)

What is obnoxious about you wishing us a Happy Easter?...Well, there would be nothing wrong if it were Easter tomorrow....but Easter is something like a month away(or slightly less). You wishing us a Happy Easter is something we don't want, we don't need and is just another ploy for you to start your bible thumping ways.
You really don't get it. We do not want to hear your message.
And we certainly don't want to hear it the way you deliver it.

Three little letters - OCD. Just a thought. I've met people like this and they've always turned out to be the most intolerant, judgmental and self satisfied, smug 'human beings'. Obviously something went wrong somewhere in life where religion came along like a life raft to hang on to like life itself. K99, take a chill pill and stop taking pleasure out of bating people for your own pleasure, it's not very Christian of you!

Yes just like his twisted version of the gospel the truth about likes isn't exactly there.
One of those likes was from me, without searching for the actual post I put on about it went something like this:-
I've given you a like because I think you should have one before you go.

He is a pain but it could be worse instead of just having him as a virtual priest on here he could be your next door neighbour, now that is a hell on Earth not worth contemplating.

I had a lovely wife for 27 years. She is now with the Lord, God bless her. She wasn't a head turner but her beauty was innermost. Do you know, we never had a single argument during our marriage. Even 20 years on I still appreciate her and look forward to meeting her in heaven.

Now who can equal that?

Margaret Pilkington 21-03-2014 21:08

Re: Christian Science
 
I can. I have been married to my man for 47 years. I cannot say that we never had a crossed word, because we had (and still do).....and I believe that those who say they never had an argument either didn't speak to one another or have a foggy memory.

It must be a really boring life if you always, always agree on everything.

Unbelievable the derogatory way he speaks of his departed wife...

If he is right about the afterlife..she is probably stood beside the pearly gates, tapping her feet, wielding a humongous rolling pin ready to smack him into the outfield of his own personal limbo the moment he shuffles his mortal coil....

As for never an argument, she was probably frightened into a corner, forced to read the 'good' book and too scared to raise her head because the wrath of God would be delivered on any one that showed spirit (unless it was a Holy Spirit that is).

Re: Christian Science
 
I am beginning to feel sorry for K99 and his late wife. No ‘discussions’ from opposing points of view, no ‘debating’ on varied topics, just agreement on everything - how bleeding boring!!!!!

My old bloke and me disagree on lots of things – and we do have the odd (educated) argument or two along the way, but we respect each other’s right to be able to think for ourselves and to have our own opinions. It makes for a healthy partnership which is definitely not one-sided.

It sounds as if your wife, K99, might have been somewhat brow-beaten by you and your crusading – or maybe she owned some ear plugs…….

My standards..

Do not abuse my life partner
Be open to counter argument
Accept that everyone has an opinion even though they disagree with mine

Your standards..

My answers to page 52

1. No Arguments = boring. Not a it of it. Just peace and harmony.

2. Lying about it? Not a bit of it. Just joy and tranquility.

3. The best time to make love is when she wants to. That way no one is offended.

4. She is probably stood beside the pearly gates, tapping her feet. More like welcoming with open arms.

5. Frightened into a corner. What a laugh. She was full of joy.

6. We don't care what you are. You really ought to care about your fellow man. Why do you think I am here?

7. My old bloke and me disagree on lots of things. I wonder why???

8. Your standards: "Accept that everyone has an opinion even though they disagree with mine". You don't seem to be doing too well on here.

Well I guess wraps up my answers to page 52. :)

Ah, yes, now there is the rub, you're not here because of your whit or humour, you're not here because there is a large neon sign saying evangelists welcome, you're not here to brighten up our lives with your magnetic personality.

I think your here because of your unlimited conceit which drives you to interfere with the lives of others and some strange and misplaced feeling of power that annoying others gives you.
A real Christian wouldn't interfere where he's not wanted. Having said that, history shows that real Christians are a rare breed, the people that claim to be Christian have slaughtered and trampled upon any that dare to think differently to themselves.
So you are here to continue hopefully with nothing worse than trampling on us and our own free thoughts and that you aren't a slaughtering Christian.

I do think K99WARD means well

K99WARD
I was taught a Christians role is to point someone to Jesus by how they lived, what they said ,what they did, how they responded to life decisions, how they responded to lifes problems, how they relied on their relationship with God.

I dont think (although I probably havent done enough research) its the follower of Christ (Christians) role to convince, that role belongs to the holy spirit.

Point me to the post where I have not accepted YOUR opinion? You really should have a rider attached to your posts along the lines of 'my opinions are not my own they are based on selective passages from a book written a couple of thousand years ago'

Should I now point you to all the posts you make that totally ignore the counter argument.

I have no problem whatsoever with people believing in a supreme deity, in fact I kinda envy them their faith.

You however, are little more than the Christian version of a Muslim extremist. You are the kind of person that causes every single person who believes to be labelled as a 'God botherer'. You are the kind of person that caused inquisitions, pogroms and genocide. You, and people like you, are dangerous

I cannot see any post in this thread where anyone has portrayed you as an ogre.
Misguided, evangelical, deluded, a pain in the butt, unable to see anyone else's point of view, supercilious......all these have been levelled at you. I believe, with just cause. Nowhere has anyone called you an ogre.

As for your replies regarding our own life partnerships, well every partnership is different. In a partnership you have to accept that the other person will not always see your point of view. There has to be compromise, discussion and resolution.My partnership, my marriage would not have lasted for 47 years if there had not been a level of accord.
I am a strong personality, I retain that personality because it is part of what attracted my partner to me.
I have my own views, my own thoughts. These are accepted. My individuality is accepted.

I do not particularly want you to go away. I would like it if you would stop your preaching to an unreceptive audience .

"Pearls before swine" and "casting pearls" refer to a quotation from Matthew 7:6 in Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, implying that you should not put what is valuable in front of those who will reject the notion that it has value and furthermore that they will seek to diminish or destroy what you offer.
"Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."
Pearls before swine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So you see even your Messiah gave advice about leaving us alone. Do yourself and us a favour, follow his advice for once.

If he is doing nothing wrong by coming on site and attempting to convert us, then we are doing nothing wrong by telling him he's talking bull.

Assume away whatever I/we are is formed by our beliefs (or lack of them), you are right he can't harm us but he does need to be told when he is interfering where he isn't wanted.

Hang on a minute, you call Neil Intelligent?

He has just told us to ignore you and now you claim we've been ignoring you!

Now I would like to think Neil is intelligent and in some ways his advice is sound, however if he is correct, then you are obviously incorrect we aren't ignoring you, just not becoming the mindless converts you would like us to become and speaking our minds with a very free will.

Some of the posters on this thread have already proved they know more about the meaning of God's word than you do, so the scoring would probably be as suspect as you are.
