This is a place where PRC(Messenjah Of One) can share his musings.
This is not blogspot.
You should be chiding prc for ranting instead of answering his posts. You should be answering your own posts instead of preaching.

Thanks. Coming from you, that's a great compliment.

you have no right to criticize phat;
Sure I do. This site has rules and it's not just a right, it's a duty to point out when Phat breaks them.

You may have a point there. This site does depend on loons and Phat does defend the loons. It's only fitting that they defend him too.

I see faces on my bathroom floor. Where I used to live I saw faces on the bathroom wallpaper. It's a pretty common phenomenon.

So you or Tangle will bring up Pareidolia and claim that this explains away every vision of a face by every human throughout History, right?
When there is a simple explanation, why look for a complcated one?
Be honest. If I said I saw Muhammad on the wallpaper, you'd scoff at me, wouldn't you?

You have hundreds of unanswered posts. Go back and answer some of them. THINK and then answer some of them.

I told you just a couple of days ago that that's wrong. The message has nothing to do with Jesus. I did not choose one over the other.

YES!
That's the whole point of discussion, isn't it?

Hint: He does not require evidence.
See the story of Thomas. Jesus offered evidence to the disciples but Thomas wasn't there. Later, when Thomas was there, Jesus offered the same evidence to him. Jesus did not have the same contempt for evidence that you have.

You have emphasized CONTENT over SOURCE.
Are you ever going to be honest? You KNOW that the content is more important than the source. You don't throw your mail away and keep the envelopes.

So how come He doesn't give YOU some answers when you're "communing"? Why do you have to run away from every discussion?

If you can point out a single instance when I have been dishonest, go ahead and post it. Otherwise, you can stop playing your schoolyard I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I games.

Throwing away that envelope will give you a letter full of lying spirits and doctrines of demons.

As usual, you misread the story. Humans WERE going to be as one. That's what God was afraid of. That's why He deliberately interfered and made things worse for the people.

Hmm.... The Mennonite church that my mother grew up in used to have the words, "We preach Christ crucified," emblazoned on the wall above the choir. It always seemed like an odd slogan to me. I would have preferred something like, "Hallelujah!"
At some point, they changed it to, "We preach Christ." I wonder why?

the catholic church, oh you mean the #1 most charitble organization in the world?
As I pointed out to Phat the other day, it isn't what you give that counts; it's what you hold back. When the Catholic church sells what it has and gives to the poor like Jesus told the rich young ruler, when it gives its last two mites like the poor widow, THEN maybe it can lay claim to #1.

i'll take this bluster seriously when you sell all of your worldly possessions and live in a homeless camp
I'm not the one who claims to "believe in Jesus".
He also said, "By their fruits ye shall know them." From the Vulgate: charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity (kindness), goodness, longanimity (forbearance), mildness (gentleness), faith, modesty, continency (self-control), and chastity.
Not seeing a lot of those in you.
