Here are the wounds I am inflicting, and to whom. This power I received from the Lord. :)

Luke 10:19

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
No pride here..

Thanks for the laugh, You claim your a humble servant, Yet you keep posting stuf like this to puff yourself up..

Wow dude. Amazing.

No you didn't receive power to uproot or tear down

In fact you are making manifest that you do not know of whose SPIRIT you are truly of

I don't get it.


Why does an un-believer need to have further wounds inflicted upon them? Isn't their un-belief enough of a wound as it is?


Why not preach Christ and His Grace and Mercy and perhaps some of them will join the family?

Again. If the yeses were yeses and the nos were nos there wouldn't be any strife
There wouldnt be any swearing, in this context

Mat 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

Mat 5:37But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

You shouldnt need the strength of an oath for your yea to be yea or your nay to be nay,

But if there was some form of communication on an upcoming trip,

and I was asked are you going? Yea or nay?

I might say, Yea, If the Lord wills (anything more than that didnt come of evil) as we know it

You continue....

I have always been one who believes that people say what they mean and mean what they say and there are no shades in between


I would think you would be including yourself in that statement because you said,

I like the toilet and the mister twister jingle



And I think you two agree

I thought it was fitting and catchy too! :)
Well, maybe not

Am I supposed to "smile" with you?
He doesnt really care its all the same to him what you do lol

As he said,


A frown is just a smile upside down. :)
I might not get why all pleasantries must fall under what comes of the forsaking oaths and not swearing here, applying that to another man to answer yea or nay to your own mouth that way (seems a little odd)

And a yes is a yes and a no is a no...
Because it really is like wanting a "yea or nay" ruling on your own mouth crack, whether you should crack a smile or not, it would be fake and not sincere asking another to dictate such a thing, see what I mean?

And a Yea or nay (from another) concerning your mouth cracking (or not cracking) a smile is even reduced to

anything outside that is confusion...and will cause confusion and strife and misunderstandings and conflicts...
Do you feel Jesus applies this to others having the answer to your smiling (or not) in the same?

Is it that you feel you will get confused and full of strife if he doesnt dictate to you (one way or the other, yea or nay) in respects towhether to smile? Because that was where you placed the mention of the same. Or does the verse (to you) make him as one full of confusion, strife, misunderstanding, and seeking a conflict by not caring (or being unwilling to answer with a "yea or a nay") concerning dictating to you what you should do with your own mouth? As far as smiling goes that is.

And it says here,

James 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

Is that the verse you mean to quote?

What if he doesnt want anything to do with deciding for you whether your lip cracks are turned up at the edges or downward?

Because he simply says to you


Just look at PilgrimPassingthru's avatar, and it will come to you. :)
In otherwords work it out for yourself

And to that you respond

No...I don't really care to follow men...
Your own interpretation of letting your no be no and yes be yes (outside the realm of swearing) would very similarly carry over into an area of further explaining since whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

You gave more then that (so in a similar instance if that is the way you regard it for yourself )

And what he suggested had nothing to do with him wanting you to follow him but to get you to figure out what to do with your own. He is advising you to figure it out on your own but that is met with"I dont really care to follow men" and yet before that your asking him to tell you what to do with your own lips (as far as smiling goes)

Am I supposed to "smile" with you?
But after the "I dont care" in the above

nor am I looking for the approval of men...


I wouldnt avocate doing so neither would he

and nor do I care if I receive the approval of men...


That should be a given seeing the former statement, same answer

I really am not interested in honoring men...


I probably couldnt make that interesting for you.

I don't really concern myself with that at all.


There you go, you have shared a little with us about yourself, thank you for that.

There is nothing that I need to look at Pilgrim for...


I can't agree more and I certainly wouldnt want you to do so.

But when ISIT mentioned looking at my avatar that is "not me" (personally) he wasnt suggesting to" look at" me ""but the avatar" of little girl hanging upside (according to the smile he was speaking of, of the "frown upside down)

But if his little yellow CC smilie got your goat the little girl's will likely push you over the deep edge (so definately refrain from beholding the same) if only for your own sanity


there is nothing that she (or yourself) can give me that I need(or take away from me what I already have)


There are those you wont, everyone has a few, and Im not exception, that is probably where we both might feel mutually unedified by the other, its no biggy the board has different sections, and a wonderful ignore feature for our convenience.

However...if someone UNBIASED were to come in and want to read this and then break it down for me...that would be fine.

Not likely but I study this sort of thing and just stayed up all night looking at things, I collect them as a sort of hobby

I am tired of the many words...
I thought you preferred them, but I think you do a few lines on a post (say post #1 and then a minute later add more lines into post #2 and if someone hadnt posted after you might come back in and post again a few more lines to post #3 and keep going sometimes up to 7 posts I believe I counted, you just do it in bite size pieces and many posts

I believe I already know your position...

However...if someone UNBIASED were to come in and want to read this and then break it down for me...that would be fine.
I was asking yours according to your posts, but I wasnt really stating mine

My name is what my name is...
And I will receive my name when HE gives it to me.

You may call me all that you choose to call me.
But HE gets the last say...doesn't HE?

And you will find out if the name you have chosen for yourself was a true name for you to have ALREADY given yourself.

And its that sort of thing I love to study about folks for some reason, how something so stupid can turn up pages worth of more crazy, but I sometimes have to participate in it to an extent, and most often just going with the flow of whichever but I am losing stamina with it, its getting a little boring, same stuff really. I have hundreds of pages of this sort of thing.

Good morning to you!:)

Unfortunately this is what happens - they will call you names and insult you...that's the way this "spirit" works...just ignore them and keep standing up for the truth of Christ. All is well. The Lord has your back....:)

I feel like that with the tile guy, found a crack twice and I said exactly that to him, man I am so sorry to nitpick you guys here, because seriously that stuff drives men bonkers (but my husband found it) but I had to call. I am nitpicking my grout job.

But for me though seems more like a power struggle seeking controling, spiritual dominance over another pride in that sense as knowledge puffs up that sort of thing, that seems more like it more often then not.

Well, she came in here with a mission to rail and accuse just like the others. Her "nitpicking" a simple phrase and then running with it just goes to show her intentions were not being honest, even when both you and me tried to correct her several times. I've come to the conclusions that some people on these forums are not mentally stable at all, it shows. lol

And Good morning 2 u 2! :)

The key word:


SEEMS...


when we offer our own insight, opinion, thoughts, ideas, notions.

That is all that it remains:

Our own insight, opinion, thoughts, ideas, notions.

And these do not translate to true and truth of another...


That seems to be the problem...and it is the problem...

Ah, so you are a nitpicker too! LOL Just kidding. Of course you are paying someone to do a good job, me on the other hand gets accused and nitpicked for free. LOL :)

And then I got the excuse that we can say what we don't mean and we can mean what we don't say.

That translates to confusion...and that is all that happened after I came into this thread...confusion and cute, little comments and images of how this should be "so very funny and amusing"...

Forgive me, but like I said, I am pretty cut and dry...I don't understand snide comments or inuendos.

Just say what you mean straight and don't let your yes be no and your no be yes...

Thats why I stated "seems" when examining a situation, I cannot state it as the truth and I am not doing a study on the scripture here but sharing what appears to me as it is going according to what I see. Who someone gravitates to and what it was that drew them in, if they took the soap box (were they enjoying it too much before they found out they the person they are ranting on actually did what they took the moral high ground on. What happened after it was made known to them? Did they appologize quickly or did they sort of hhim hall around look for other things, begin making a diversionary stink away from any fault on their part? Is that person more aggitated with the poster, what effects were in play, what approaches made things worse or (as is rare better). The am wrestling, trapping ensnaring, pretending to like something and then when the person positively responds watch the tone change and what they go after next, the power play used to gain dominance over the convesation, the desire to be right, all those sorts of things play in.

So there isnt really a problem I am sharing (and out of this other thing) what "seems" to me but its not here or there with me, I am speaking out of my observations given I actually study these things (aside from the scripture) that is.

Me and ISIT have been freinds for many years, how I speak to him I might do so without reserve because he doesnt nitpick words simply to accuse by them, by that I mean similiar to Isaiah 29:21 That make a man an offenderfora word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just fora thing of nought.

You have an excuse for what?

What is your question?

As if ?
