and Jack the Ripper...
Did Jack the Ripper ever leave any letters or notes behind? Since he was never really identified that makes it unlikely he left any memorable verbal quotes behind, but anything written would be interesting...

Yes I realize this was probably not meant to be something to make me think beyond the lines of it simply being a joke, but being a fan of true-crime I'm now intrigued...
 
well, it is realy interesting to read his posts :D hahahaha... his minds... just amazing...

Honestly,I've often wondered if it's actually ''his'' post/thoughts. I mean if he's a new Christian as someone said he is on another thread,then how can he possibly know THAT much,and post soooo many threads on here being so long and stuff...I wonder if it's just like something from another website,that was copied and pasted...now we'll never know the truth,because a troll won't admit to such an action :p at any rate,ignoring him most likely won't do any good really,because people have ignored many of his post,BUT he just keeps posting things. Ah well,just pray,pray,pray for him :)

Hmm, now you have me intrigued too.
 
I think Ramon just gets carried away with his newfound sense of righteousness, but he means well. I don't really think he's a troll.

He reminds me too much of that youtube troll Tamtampamela who had that video that said Japan deserves what happened to them recently. A lot of Christians were convinced she was for real too until she finally fessed up that she was a troll.

Considering how moronic most of his posts are and how closely he follows the cliches of the stereotypical "Bible thumper," and the fact that any sane Christian would actually listen when 10+ people are saying, "Dude you got it wrong," I really believe he's a troll. And if he's not then he'd better take a good look at himself and fast since a lot of people are already starting to see him that way.

Hmm, you do have a point. I guess I give him the benefit of the doubt because he graciously and without me asking forgave me for going off on something he said in another thread and I said some pretty nasty things too. I apologized right away but he forgave me even before I apologized.
 
I will admit that a lot of colleges inflate their fees beyond what is reasonable for all but the insanely rich (Harvard I'm looking at you.) However, higher education is beneficial to both an individual and society; you'll be lucky to make more than 50K a year without a college degree. But if you go into Pharmacology then you can start out at almost a 100K a year.
 
If we want to see the advancement of society, we do need these people.

My friend, the advancement of society stopped when sin entered the world. This society will end, and neither of these will keep it going. This world has been corrupted. This is how Jesus is the savior. Now, savior from what? The savior from the judgment that is to come to this world. There is no peace between any man and God accept that Jesus is in-between that man and God. No person alone pleases God enough accept his son Jesus. And all flesh will fail without him.

Doctors cannot give you eternal life, and neither engineers nor any other man other than Jesus. What they can do is keep you entertained, and wanting of the things of this world, and keep taking your money. But we should not put the same value in people or money as the world does. All of our value should be in Jesus Christ. May Jesus bless you.
 
You think people shouldn't go to school because it is wasting money on worldly things?

Let's look at this. You claim that schooling is a worldly thing - we shouldn't waste money on it, right?

Money is a worldly thing. You're concerned about wasting a worldly thing (money) on another worldly thing (an education).


Did you really take any time to think this through?

There are better things you could do with it, like feed the poor, or help your parents when they need help. Or help your brothers with it. You could send it to these people in other countries, or minister to the physical needs of some victims to such disasters as we have witnessed lately. There are better things to be done.

But this is not ministry for Christ, this is ministry TO CHRIST! But if these charities are done for self-promotion and not for Jesus Christ promotion, then it is all done in vain, and there is no reward in it.

I would say it is more of a joy to give of my life to those who need life, because of the hope of eternal life that is within me, to SHOW the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.

For the same reason I would say that anyone that does go to school does not use it on worldly things, but on kingdom things. If I might learn something (not learning as in believing everything that is taught to me by men to be truth), I should be able to rightly divide the Word of truth in everything I hear.

For the sake of knowledge many people have rejected the knowledge of God. And trusting in men, have found themselves to be faithless. So who heals, Jesus or Doctors? Which one can give you eternal life, knowledge or Jesus?

Most anything done without the glory of God is a waste. But anything done in honor to him (not for some form of honor, but the correct idea of it) will be profitable to all. May Jesus bless you.

I just had to respond to this one sweetheart. Because I heard the Lord speaking in this post you made. It is really lovely how the Lord can take something meant for evil into his glory. And I am thankful for that. My friend, I can NEVER be angry at you. I want to tell you then, this that I have just heard.

The thoughts of Jesus Christ were not his own, his words were from the Father. And he was full of the Spirit of God. Paul also had the witness of the Spirit in him, because he did not have need of any man to teach him, but the Spirit taught him, and his mind became as the mind of Christ.

It is like you say, Jesus took the words of the Father and pasted it into his heart, and in this way, he knew the truth. I WILL ADMIT THIS!! That the Lord has done the same with me. He has taken the words of the Father and pasted them into my heart. And yes! I am a new Christian, as was Paul, but I was not converted by men, but by the Lord Jesus himself. And this is to his GLORY AND HONOR!!!

In the same way, God also makes many posts to our ears and hearts, but even though people ignore him, he keeps on posting things. May Jesus bless you. This has encouraged me.

And then have an ignorant, uneducated population and be in need of assistance ourselves? Nope. What you're suggesting is a reverting to a backwards, primitive society where we won't be able to feed or care for the poor because nobody will know how. Minister to victims of physical disasters? Guess what: since there's no education, there's nobody to build ships, planes, cars etc. to overcome the seemlingly insurmountable logistical problems.

You need someone with an advanced education to perform these tasks.

Not to mention the fact that if you really want to alleviate poverty, you promote education and enlightened institutions, not ignorance.

Many wise people will be on the left, and many simple people will be on the right.

Jesus can make blind people see, he can tell storms to go away. He can raise the dead, he can teach ALL THINGS! He can turn a small meal into a great feast to feed an entire army, AN ENTIRE NATION!! He can walk on water!! (He doesn't even need a ship), AND SO CAN HIS DISCIPLES!! And Jesus ascended to heaven without the need of a plane. And many disciples were translated without the need of a car. Who needs these things really when you have JESUS!!!

May Jesus bless you.

You are forgetting one thing. we are not God. God can do anything by simply willing it; we, however, must overcome the difficulties of the world with our technology. Simply throwing away our achievements that make the production of massive quantities of things like food and medicine would, in my opinion, be ridiculously irresponsible.

You can't be serious... First you say we should get rid of education and send our wealth to assist those in need (which is ridiculous, because without education we wouldn't be a wealthy society - you think it comes from nowhere?), and then you claim that we don't need to deliver this aid because Jesus will help them.

If Jesus will walk on water, raise the dead and turn the smallest amount of food into a feast to feed a nation, why should we bother sending aid at all? Just leave it to Jesus.

Secondly, no matter how "wise" you think someone may be, we shouldn't trust people who don't have an education in aviation or aeronautics to fly large aircraft.

Thirdly, when the disciples were alive Christianity was still a local cult. They weren't magically teleported by Jesus, they walked or probably rode on mules.
