You've gone beyond the line here, IMO, al. I'm not a Christian, but I would never think to belittle what someone else believes regarding their spiritual needs. Your intolerance for anyone who believes differently than you indicates to ME that you haven't found Jesus at all.

I've read the bible, and you're NOT representing the words of Jesus. You're a self-made hypocrite who hides behind religion to gain sympathy for your inability to make sense, IMO. You were a harmless mascot on this forum until you began bashing the faiths of others [which Jesus would NEVER have done.] If you can't LIVE your beliefs, al, don't preach to others.

AL-D(ENSE): THE LAST ***REAL*** "CHRISTIAN" DIED ON A CROSS ALMOST 2,000 YEARS AGO.

ALL OTHERS ARE "WANNABEES".

-- cpr (buytexas@swbell.net), July 03, 2000.

I'm at fault here Anita. I wound him up and released him on the forum today. Periodically I attempt to communicate with the al, that perhaps through humor and sincerity I might reach him, that he might take a step back in order to take a step forward.

Or something to that effect.

-- Bingo1 (howe9@shentel.net), July 03, 2000.

Sister Taffy! Yeah, baby!!

Do not take Sister Taffy, the good Christian (Baptist) lightly. Here she explains to a younger woman who thinks she is a good Christian (Baptist) the error of her ways.

sorry anita,JESUS foretold of a >>false christianity!! HE also said>on that day![judgment-day]MANY will say>LORD,LORD we did all these wonderful-work,s in your name!and he [JESUS] SAID,depart from me,i never knew you!!

-- al-d. (dogs@zianet.com), July 03, 2000.

so sister daffy!giggle. think,s only baptist,s are christian,s? how sad!there,s that religious SPIRIT!!

-- al-d. (dogs@zianet.com), July 03, 2000.

Bingo:

I firmly believe in personal responsibility, remember? al-D did this to himself. He's been working up to his true feelings for a while now. He's a man who preaches ONE thing and practices another. Of course he'll excuse himself by stating that he's a sinner and THAT'S why/how he found Jesus. He's found NOTHING, and he's been doing the same thing for so long that I doubt he'll ever find anything.

I've MET Christians who live their faith, Bingo, and this guy is NOT one of them. He's a cheap imposter.

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), July 03, 2000.

dear anita, NO-OFFENSE TAKEN.BUT FOR SOMEONE WHO DENY,S THERE IS A GOD! YOU SURE PROFESS,TO HAVE ALOT OF[SPIRTUAL-DISCERNENT] how much time do you spend-searching-scripture.line upon-line-precept- upon-precept!!not much i gather!!!WHY DID jesus SAY, ''I BRING A SWORD?? tell me!!

-- al-d. (dogs@zianet.com), July 03, 2000.

One can hardly negotiate this site without being bombarded by the off- the-wall ramblings of Mr. Al-d. I have noticed something curious about this persons diction and sentence structure and was wondering if anybody else picked up on this. He just HAS to be writing like this ON PURPOSE to aggravate the reader. It takes work and planning to write the way he does and I am convinced he is jerking everyone around to his personal delight. If he were the idiot he would like us to believe he is, than the consistency would not be there. Also, even an idiot would attempt to improve themselves when called to task.

Im guessing that Al-d is playing with us and is no more a Christian than Madeline Murray OHare was. You can prove me wrong Mr.Al-d by writing your message in MS Word, run spell check, and copy and paste to the message section. If you fail to do this you will confirm my suspicions.

MR.fact-in the attic, IF YOU,D get out of the attic,you wouldn,t be so-suspiceous!!

-- al-d. (dogs@zianet.com), July 03, 2000.

Come on, Al. Selective scriptures do NOTHING but indicate that YOU haven't grasped the whole meaning. It was Matthew 10: 34-35, BTW.

I think you'd do better if you adhered to Matthew 26: 52.

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), July 03, 2000.

GEE ANITA, you quote some scripture!you still havn, answered!!do you know what JESUS meant ,when he said>he brings a sword?? do you understand>the meat/from the milk of the word!! to you have>revelation knowledge,instead of carnal knowledge? on another post,dear' you said you don,t believe in a GOD! NUTHIN-PERSONAL ANITA,but when you,ve cried out to GOD for year,s>>for the TRUTH!! then let,s talk!! the TRUTH is>there is a false=apostate=enemy of the cross>christianity!also a false >christ being preached! do your homework>before you call me judas!that,s judging-without >HOLY SPIRIT-REV.check-out>apostasy/now.com do you walk by faith-or-sight?

-- al-d. (dogs@zianet.com), July 03, 2000.

Only jesus knew what jesus meant.And since his words have been filtered through religion=government=committee revision(you might say) we'll always have to guess.be it king james or the catholic bible it's all gone through translator interpretation and revision and organized religious sanction.Jesus' words are long gone Al,and all you're left with are the lies you've been cattle fed as truth.

-- zoobie (zoobiezoob@yahoo.com), July 05, 2000.

Hey Anita,

Hope you had a happy 4th.....Dont even try to bother with al d fake, I have taken him to task, re: scripture and he doesnt wish to discuss that, just aimless ramble, while Slamming others.

Sit still and watch, he shall have a new 'comment' for me from him shortly, of that I am sure.

BTW, I agree, I do believe he purposefully writes this way to aggitate folks.
