Now ya made him blush............we are screwed.


Blushing is one thing, and that, like I say is an embarrassing sight. Now imagine a muscular, bearded, tattooed dude crying like a baby watching a love story like Love Actually. It's truly pitiful.

Don't get me emotional. Bunch of silly geese.

Speaking of which - a single Goose is a Goose, and multiple are "Geese". Why aren't multiple Moose, "Meese"?

I don't know what mask your talking about cause what you see is what you get..... This place gets fired up real easy and a lot a good folks "get out of character"......im just the "red headed stranger"
It is called transference arrogance. That which is true about us.............is transferred to another individual, to take the focus off of what we truly are.

Take his mask off................a wolf.

Our true and only purpose in life is to glorify God in all we do, be it work, socializing, or even in our hour of darkness. For it is in our weakness's that Gods power is made manifest. Most nonbelievers turn to God in times of difficulties yet we as Christlike humans fall apart. I don't believe in giving glory to other Christians because the word of God tells me that he who is first shall be last, and he who is regarded as last by man, shall be first in the eyes of God. How do we explain this? It's very simple. When a certain man came unto Jesus and said, Master I obey the command ments,faste,pray, and all else required, what else must I do to be saved? And Jesus answered; sell all you have and provide it to the poor, and FOLLOW me. We all know his reaction and our Lord's answer unto him.Many great preachers today make the Grammy, Oscar and other such award ceremonies look small compared to the masses they gather, the manner in which they behave not to mention their dress code. You can't preach in 2000$ suites and tell me that 'Jesus loves you'. You can't talk about the size of the rolls Royce engines of their private jet ,and thereafter tell me 'Jesus cares'. I see your heads have grown big, full of knowledge, to teach others yet your hearts have shrunk and do not coincide with what you teach. The greatest preachers are those who have two coats and depart of one to some brother in need, who lend to one in need; and expect not return, the greatest preachers are those who feed the hungry, both literally and spiritually, those who quench the thirst of a brother in need and not look the other way.The TV channels, great gatherings, on fire for the Lord are all very well as long as man does not seek to steal the glory from God. Many great among you shall call me, Master,Master but I shall claim I do not know you!!!!!

I got a tat of pink panther playing the guitar, just so i could kick the crap out of someone who "picked" on my tattoo. Lived in a cabin in the woods with no electricity and running water. walked 1 mile uphill in the winter. Shaved with a knife and ate chipmunks................and still cried when I saw the notebook.

I really didn't eat chipmunks. But would ov. and still would if need be. But I cried like a baby when I watched the notebook.

And Just to be clear. I know that and most here know that. But there will be a few here that don't believe you.

They will transfer their arrogance onto you, to MASK who they truly are.

The ones who accuse you of hiding behind a mask............are actually the ones who are hiding. They use you as a cover.

It is not true that Jesus is the only teacher. In fact, there are many words and many occurrences of the words teacher (59 times), teaching (51 times) and "I teach" (97 times) for a total of 207 times in the New Testament. For example, none of these passages are about Jesus, but rather those who are called to teach:

"Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body." James 3:1-2

"
Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching;" Romans 12:6-7

"And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, ..." Eph. 4:11-16

Jesus said this:

But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren. Matt 23:8 RSV

That is known as psychological projection, usually done by people with narcissistic personality disorder.

Such a person tends to have an "I'm always right" attitude.

One could easily conclude the statement you made to be reverse psychology as well..... covering a personality that sweet talks one moment & bashes the next.

Our old posts can be accessed, or our future ones read. Either way, the fruit will tell. :)

I disagree with a good number of teachers listed in these message threads.

I can guarantee you that if you have issues with some of them theologically, they will not be accountable and listen to you when you take them to task according to Matthew 18:15-17 because I've tried.

So they preachers that have spread the true gospel.... And saved thousands and are "loved" by them.....
There were those that hates Jesus.... One Damascus roas later and he was loved.....yes it's true that not everyone will love you but I don't think judging by how much folks hate you indicates how much of a believer you are
Some of them also teach error or compromise on truth.
Some of them aren't accountable to elders or other Christians.
One of the teachers listed in this thread is divorced.
