Snoopy Grapples with Galatians

[chansen]

Warning Given here that God will not be Mocked

Just confirming, this is the same God who can't stop looking down everyone's pants, correct?

Hey @unsafe thanks very much. I am glad you find these Bible studies worthwhile.

Thanks for the comic relief. These threads feel heavy at times.

Appreciate it. Sometimes it helps to have an outsider explain how all this looks from a distance.

I'll surely be tortured for all eternity by this genetals-obsessed deity who hates it when I explain his fetish, but for now, the lines are too good not to share.

In recent years it has really struck me that this sentence puts fruit in the singular, even though the list would seem to suggest it should be plural. REflecting on that for a newsletter early in 2024 I pondered that maybe the primary flavour of the fruit is love with the others in the list as sub-flavours (much like in tasting wine there is a primary taste and then 'notes' of other flavours).

Paul uses the singular "fruit" to emphasize that all of these qualities are collectively produced by the Holy Spirit in a believer's life

By using the singular form, Paul illustrates that these virtues are a unified whole. They grow together, like a single fruit with many facets, reflecting the overall character of those of us who are led by the Spirit

For someone who questioned God's knowing about penises, you can't stop talking about them

So....your God is obsessed with penis presentation and categorizes people based on it, but when I joke about how insane that is, I'm the obsessed one?

Vaginas must be intact until married......there's a name for that if their not, too.

We must charitably tolerate brother chansen's Freudian obsession with penis envy, given his childlike "Mary had a little lamb" level of spiritual insight.

Is that speaking the truth in love?

Yes,, I speak to him in his own rhetoric, using language even he can understand.

I wonder about the focus in modern society on abortion, and the complete lack of focus on foreskins.

Circumcision in Western society is a matter of fashion. It's currently out of fashion amongst the medical establishment, but that may change.

You're a failed minister, and a fraud. Everyone here knows. And no one here thinks I'm stupid. They may not agree with me or my methods, but my intellect is not in question.

Your credibility, on the other hand, is completely shot.

 

[paradox3]

Some of us here believe the Holy Spirit dwells within us. And works within us and among us.

If we hold this to be true, let's ask ourselves how well our posts reflect the fruits of the Spirit.

Thanks for standing up for yourself without resorting to hostility.

What even is "hostility" in this case? Swearing? Any lack of cursing in that post was purely coincidental.

Berserk is still a terrible human being and the worst person who has ever visited a WC-related website. I say that with confidence and clarity, so as not to be misunderstood.

The only thing stopping him from being a true menace to society is his repulsive personality. Given an ounce of charisma, he could lead a small cult. His most redeeming quality then, is one of the qualities he lacks.

He tries very hard to be persuasive with his supernatural claims. I have yet to be persuaded one bit. Which makes me spiritually impoverished in his mind.

On the plus side, he is knowledgeable about biblical matters and gives us lots of useful information.

Snoopy has a thick skin under that coat of fur, thank goodness.

 

[chansen]

I don't dispute his knowledge. I dispute his humanity.

 

[Mystic]

You constantly ridicule Christians in a mindless way, and so, your lack of critical acumen reduces you to resorting to t ediously repetitve insults.
I make no apology for calling you out. btw, At least 3 times a year, some unknown customer picks up my check in local resstaurants.
So I am secure about my reputation.

You were slowly murdering your last church. You probably have some fooled, but you have no followers. And that's what you want. You want people fawning over you. You almost demand it.

To that end, you drop names of schools, of NDE-claimants, and a bunch of vague references to "leaders" at both the United Church and Cruxifusion who recommended you drop by to clean up the place. Both of those claims, of course, being completely bogus as no one in the United Church or Cruxifusion would believably have anything to do with you and your quackery.

You even claimed you had a bible study group after retirement. You mentioned them a few times. When I went looking, no one knew about it. Then you claimed the bible study was disbanded. I doubt it ever happened, but I can buy people giving up on meeting with you.

No, you're not admired here - you're tolerated. Your biblical knowledge is respected, but your personality is not. You've run away with your tail between your legs and you've been suspended, but you always crawl back and we collectively make the mistake of forgetting that you called us a "ghetto" on your way out.

You keep making claims. You occasionally announce that you're going to drop some amazing evidence for your claims that is sure to change minds, but you never follow up. What evidence you do post is either cherry-picked and easily debunked, or paper thin. Every place online you've been has called you out. We're just one more online stop for you in your quest to get the world to see everything as you do. Twenty-something Canadians, who from your perspective don't deserve you, and from our perspective don't want you. And this is apparently among the best audiences you can find who won't ban you immediately.

You are a scam artist, and nothing more.
