Explain to me, if you will, how constantly calling people names is sufficient to demonstrate actual comprehension of a concept. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Did you happen to see the Roast of the Don? I think you'll like it... One of the best parts was watching "The Situation" from Jersey shore...He completely bombed! If it wasn't for Jeff Ross attempting to save him, I think he would've just shot himself in the head right on stage. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Good point...I was actually thinking that after I replied to you. I wonder if that is part of their motive? Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

I'm just upset that it took so long. I couldn't even get a driver's license without getting an anal probe and supplying a semen sample. I need to make sure I have the two other forms of identification next time! Have you ever watched C-Span? Be sure to share that location to the usual suspects here... I think a few of them might like that kind of action even if they dont get any documents later. Wow, I was hoping to brighten somone's day with that, but I'll be honest...I didn't expect that spin! Brilliant, how did I miss that one? I'm usually pretty keen with subtleties like that. I'm might have to utillize you in writing some comic relief! (a little more clean of course) Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Although I agree with you factually, that argument is begging the question. Ya, like how are all those big brain weakling scientists gonna fend for themselves when life calls for them to fight for their survival. I bet they'll believe in God real quick! (Sorry, I'm just being playful) Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Well I think their actions are obscene and indecent. Is there legal recourse for that? You can guarantee it...IMO, this is what they've been waiting for. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

I just wanted to get my morning funnies in...relax. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Ah yes...back to the anal probe again. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

I'm just upset that it took so long. I couldn't even get a driver's license without getting an anal probe and supplying a semen sample.

Which is why Peter calls us to be dilligent to make our calling and election sure: 2 Peter 1:3-10 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall.

This is my favorite part of those verses: Luke 7:40-47 And Jesus answering said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." And he answered, "Say it, Teacher." "A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?" Simon answered, "The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt." And he said to him, "You have judged rightly." Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little."

You've brought this up before, but how else are we supposed to understand God without studying the scripture that we believe to be His revelation to us? It would seem much more arrogant to say "ah, I don't need to study, I can find God on my own, even if it is superficial and limited." or, "Ah, see...this part of scripture is total B.S, no reason to continue-I know better and can do it ALLLL by myself." The theologians with whom I'm familiar are rather humble hard working individuals that labor to objectively understand the words of scripture by embracing an understanding of the cultural, historical, and circumstantial contexts and take advantage of the improved areas of hermenutics, isagogics, exegesis, etymology, and the ancient Aramaic, Hebrew, Koine & Classical greek languages over time. Are you sure you're no confusing arrogance with confindence and a selfless determination in a valiant effort to eliminate the clouds of confusion? I just haven't met those people unless you mean the catholic leadership, perhaps? The men that I've mentioned above, though having 20, 30 even 50 years of study and presenting some of the best arguments for explaining scripture will still say that they feel as though they are only scratching the surface. They will not force you to take their word for it but rather encourage you to study for yourself. I like the idea of the Berean Jews who listened to Paul and then searched the scriptures to see if what he said was accurate/consistent with what It said. (Acts 17:11) Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

I'm just tired arguing with you. You suggested that Christianity would weaken, so I suggested that the scripture agree's with you: 1 Timothy 4:1 [ Some Will Depart from the Faith ] Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons... The video I posted was a depiction of this and what religion represents. As a former editor in Hollywood, I tend to notice subtle details in the various forms of media propagated by some of the most wicked and powerful people that I used to work for. This video is pretty obvious, but it starts off with a set of coffin-like enclosures, one of which is marked with a cross that says "monster" The surreal creatures emerge and converge on a woman and force her into want seems to depict some type of involutary baptism. The woman becomes one of "them" and starts to speak in evil tongues and dances for the devil and his 12 "apostles" and some really freakish demonic cat at 2:42. The video culminates with them being consumed by fire in their lust exposing their true form. The video depicts the copy-cat nature of evil. It's why so many non-believers have a hard time distinguishing between evil religion and the virtue of spiritual life through faith in Christ. Pretty trippy, I know...don't take it too serious, I'm just having some fun since you hardly ever reply to any of my responses with anything substantial and fresh....

Of course, it is interesting, and a great way to make a bunch of quick cash, but the idea has just failed to catch on and hasn't stuck. It didn't catch on during the gnostic times, it didn't catch on in 2003 with The Davinci Code novel, and it didn't catch on with the movie in 2006. My question to you is, why is this so significant to you? Has Jesus's love life somehow brought you spiritual life in Christ? It is interesting to me that some people who scoff at the Gospel and find it unreliable because of the fact that it was written between 55-70 A.D are the same people who will zealously proclaim the gnostic gopels that were written around 200-300 A.D and as late as 400 A.D. It is also interesting how they can take the most fragmented and unreliable of all the gnostic gospels to make their case. From your wiki link: Now after reading that and the other gnostic/apocryphal gospels, I have to ask the obvious question, How did they come to the conlusion that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and had a child named Sarah based on that? I will just agree with Richard Covington to say that it is simply the "longest of long shots." To be honest, this really isn't the most interesting part of these gospels...Jesus's love life really has no impact on my spirituality, if it is even accurate to call it that...if it even happened. What I find most intriguing is that they suggest that Jesus elevates Magdelene by saying her "heart is raised to the kingdom of heaven more than all thy brethren," and the notion that there was tension and jealously between her and other disciples. This is somewhat consistent with the the actual Synoptic Gospels found within the inspired Scriptures. It is clear that there was tension and jealousy among the disciples as to who was the greatest. Luke 9:46 [ Who Is the Greatest? ] An argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest. Luke 22:24 [ Who Is the Greatest? ] A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. Mark 9:32-34 And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?" But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. The answer of course: Matthew 18:4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 23:11 The greatest among you shall be your servant. Luke 22:25-27 And he said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves. Now, I can almost envision 100, 200, 300 years later, the gnostics still wanting to know who was the greatest. I can see them asking, "well, Jesus never told us who was the greatest, he only told us the most humble servant is the greatest...who was that? Ah, maybe it was Magdelene! Yes, why yes, of course! Magdelene! So they conjure up this story in an attepmt to elevate Magdelene for what? To distract us from the glory of Christ, just like the old form of Roman pagan goddess worship of Mary (mother of Jesus)still found in the Roman Catholic Church today. Was Magdelene the greatest? Maybe. Was it her that washed the Lords feet with her hair? Maybe...sounds very humble sevrant like to me. We never read about her mouthing off in ignorance...It's not like she had the balls to rebuke Jesus like Peter did...and what did Jesus say to him? He said, "Get behind me Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man." The fact is that we do not know who is the greatest other than Christ Himself... Mark 10:35-45 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you." And he said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?" And they said to him, "Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory." Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?" And they said to him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized, but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared." And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. And Jesus called them to him and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." The greatest is Christ, not Mary, not Peter, not James, not John, not the Pope...Any subordinate still has yet to be disclosed...if any. The Great News in all this is that if you can have the faith to believe in the gnostic gospels that do not offer spiritual life, then you certainly have the faith to believe in the synoptic Gospels that do. It will change you life brah... I generally refrain from the vanity of long posts, but given the fact that you consider it closed-minded not to read long drawn out wiki copy-pastes, I have faith that you'll at least read my long drawn out original thought...

Forgive me, but I'm not sure I understand your point. I'm not the one who said Mary Magdalene married Jesus. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Many accepted Christ as the Messiah. However for those that do not, it is believed that thousands of them will actually get to physically see Christ in his glory before they accept him and are saved...lucky S.O.B's Early gnostics taught a lot of crap about Jesus so I'm sure there's some reference out there about that...could you please provide it? If you say The Davinci Code, I'll about piss my pants. Ya, so what? There were many woman disciples, just as there are today... Sounds like you may want to forget about your background and conentrate on future studies...just saying. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Nonsense! We must speak accurately when addressing such issues so as not to corrupt the sanctity of science. We do not want to offend people so I propose these new politically correct terms: moonlight = Stellar reflection beautiful sunset = beautiful earth revolution If anyone uses the former terms, you may punch them in the face for being delusional, ignorat hooligans that dare to oppose the hammer of science. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

I suspect they boo'd him because he was bringing religion into science...what an asshole! Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Yes, I suspect many people to fall away from the faith just as the bible predicts and that religion will evolve into something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I&feature=fvwrel Apparently they'll still be speaking tongues... Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Roma-roma-mamaa! Ga-ga-ooh-la-la! Then there would still be the whole new set of problems from exposure to Lady Gaga... I want your ugly I want your disease I want your everything As long as it's free I want your love and I want your revenge I want your horror I want your design I want your psycho Your vertigo stick.... (it's a pretty deep video if you have the ability to pay close attention to detail....especially the end.) btw, did you notice their tribute to Michael Jackson's tribute to the dead from "Thriller?" Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Indeed, the christian without any answers is done to a tee! Well, he is a catholic...but perhaps you noticed the ridiculous questions that aren't even worthy of an answer? Granted, they're children...but what's your excuse? Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Why do you care so much about us? We don't care about you... If only everybody just minded their own fu**ing businees, we'd all be just fine... Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

"He wouldn't zap him, cause polar bears are extinct!" "No they're not, they're endangered... Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

I'm guessing it's Shah... Who else? Or maybe it's das virgin brännare... Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

"Um...oh my goodness, I've just realized thet there are other people that I must speak to." OMG...LMAO...the truth, finally the truth! Sorry...I just find this video most fascinating. The resemblences are uncanny! Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

AH, hahahahahah... look at the black dude's expression toward the little girl at 0:49. I'm sorry...I just love this whole sketch! Magnificent! Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...
