RevAnarchist

Why don’t you just say all hate is bad ? Saying the hated Semites sounds like you mean to say the hated Palestinians (because you blame Israelis on for the problem of Palestine refugees etc). You, by your last VM here are already including the entire middle east’s population, so its obvious that specifically isn’t your goal! So you might as well go large and say the 'hated world' does this and that, eh? ; =.

Or, better yet, do what I do, both repeatedly and often define what you mean by 'hated Semites' if you are really serious about using a word for effect write a disclaimer and explain what you mean and paste it at the top or the reply or thread. Some people will ignore it and think they know you better than you know yourself such as you arguing with me when I say I do not hate anyone including the Palestinians. But you have them by the short and curlies because you can refer them back to the disclaimer! It feels good to be able to vindicate yourself like that, trust me I know! Ha ha... However even if the usual suspects do not believe your disclaimer or many many oh so many definitions of hated Semites, most reasonable people will understand and believe your disclaimer and definitions.

Hated Semites are the Semites that one chooses to hate. I allow the reader to determine for themselves whom they think is being hated. It is not a "misuse of terms" to recognize that Semites are being hated. In my view, Jews and Arabs are being hated, and such is unacceptable.

But when you say the Hated Semites you could just as easily be talking about the Israelis when you mean the Palestinians. It sounds iggy and would be confusing to anyone that did not know your misuse of terms and words are default style.

I never argued that Semites are not Jews or Arabs, so why do you need to wrongly claim otherwise? I don't see how false claims support your arguments.

Hi Abu Sina..Are you afraid to answer the question? The reason I ask is several. Before I cover that I want to take issue with a few things you said! First I have to say, that I have been to Europe and the middle east only one time. And I have to say that the many Saudis and other middle eastern folks are snobbish, rude, and quick to anger*. I would love to go to the rural areas to vindicate that country folk was nicer, but was forbidden due to a threat to all westerners. That said you are wrong about the Arab middle easterners being vice-less! Not all are, even some Muslims are bar flies! I thought Muslims everywhere are forbidden by their God not to indulge in many vices, but go to a middle eastern bar in any large USA or European city, and you will find they love their alcohol and other vices. I would not be surprised if they had not have invented some new ones!.
First I am a old school romantic. By that I mean I believe chivalry, such as the code of chivalry practiced by the fanciful King Arthur’s Knights. It wasn’t all fantasy, many knights took an oath to defend the weak, be courteous to all women, be loyal to their king. I apply all those even the loyalty to my king ie God/Jesus Christ. So even in these forums I am not as aggressive to women as I am to men. However, there are exceptions! Medusa comes to mind, ha ha. What I mean is that some women are able to defend themselves both intellectually and otherwise better than their men counterparts.

The other reason I specifically asked you was that you have that hysterical quality, combined with an ignore factor like Margo, and my last girlfriend. She could selectively forget that she lost the last hot argument and why she lost it! If I refused to allow her ‘new’ facts in it was like spraying her with instant bi**h and hysterical gas! Lastly I do not know why you injected the Arab comment! I did not ask you if you were an Arab woman. I asked if you were a female!

The reason that I am offended by you suggesting I am both racist and some character from a TV sitcom Is that I detest true racism. So, ONE MORE TIME, I am not racist in the common usage of the term, however I am raciest in the way that we are ALL racist if we stretch the definition of the word. My religion of which I am a reverend demands we love everyone even our enemies, and I do. Racism, war (all except for demonstrable national security), atheist behavior and ‘beliefs’, and any thing that violates the ten commandants are taboo. I doubt if you will read my entire reply, this is a test. If you do read it, please type a yes as the first word in your reply. Thanks.

I sometimes despise the vessels content but never the vessel, for the vessel is Gods creation, the contents are not. Let me help you. In that analogy the Vessel is the human body. The contents are the thoughts words and deeds etc of the person. So I admire Gods creation, the body even of Hitler, however his deeds and such were repugnant and evil. Lastly, I think you watch way too much plasma (TV) by your silly assessments of Americans Christians and Jewish folks. You should get off your duff and come and meet us. We Christians, unlike some radical Muslim’s will not cut your head off, I might talk it off but you have nothing to fear from me or my people.

Hmmm’ I wonder all this will fit in the VM space? Oh yeah I almost forgot…are you a woman ?

Rev A

Why a woman?
Is it because you find that Arabs and Middle easterners are polite you think we are women?

We are of a different culture so we do not curse and talk as your countrymen do. We do not have to have ***** ever few words in a sentence.

We dont chew tobacco and hang a gun around our waist and have to curse to be men.

Our culture is different.

Trinnity sez - "What is the photo of? ^^^" Rev Sez- I was brought up in East TN, I have lived all over, but I always come back to these smokey mountains, I love it here, I guess most of us are like a salmon and have a urge to return home to make or have babies and eventually and die... Anyway the reason I say that is because this area is a fairly big tourist area mostly because of its revolutionary war history etc.

A minor tourist attraction is the covered bridge, and as a part time photographer I have shot it so many times on commission and by order of a newspaper editor I was sick of taking photos of it ! I mean how many times and unique ways can one photograph the thing ? I wanted some pics of it for my portfolio, and one of the results is the profile photo. The object in the fore ground is a newer concrete bridge that ‘frames’ a part of the covered bridge in the background.

I plan on updating my album soon and will have some photos. Also there I have an old album on Photobucket are a couple more pics of the covered bridge shot normally……’!!!!!!!!Arrrrrahhh!!!!!!’ Photo bucket is slow and jerky today, my sc name there is BinaryMajack (for my little micro illustration, video and photography shop) which is named Binary Majack’s Studio. Well I am going to dump photo bucket for hosting! The only photo that downloaded was a pic from a series called ‘natural reflections’, all the photos in ‘reflections’ are digital 25 megs(!) large format….

Sorry for the length of the reply but hey I am a preacher that doesn’t preach very often*, save for guest preaching ! Ha ha..so when I get a chance to sermonize anything, I rock and roll!

* (no church building and various other reasons primarally I use my mission work as my way of ministering instead of preaching)

Thanks for asking Trinity ~ RevA

As for your little Star Trek fan-fiction, your humor phasers were obviously set on stun 'cause I barely cracked a smile. :P

Fear never even entered the equation.

Don't worry about the post, honey. <smooch>

Haha. Feel free. Nothing to hide here!! :) JP5

What is the photo of? ^^^

Help me out. Where did my post get deleted?

First Felicity I would like to tell you I am sorry for the length of the reply, you may want to read the second paragraph first! My reply kept growing and growing ha ha~

Good morning Felicity, its 5AM here. As I said I am an Open Theist Christian pastor. That means I may not be as fundamentalist as some. I believe that God created the universe and that Jesus was Christ. When I preach (I only guest preach) the topic is usually what is referred to as 'end time prophesy'. However, as a OTC I attempt to remain open minded and respect all religions except for those that employ terrorists, fear, etc. That includes Christian terrorists of course. Think of me as (oh I abhor this word) a liberal Christian. However, I preach and live by what is in scripture, to deviate from scripture is to be a false prophet and a liar. I was ‘sponsored’ (my Ordained status) by Immanuel So Baptist church in Eliz TN. As I said I am what’s called a open theist Christian (OTC). The shortest definition may be that I am the opposite of a very hard fundamentalist southern Baptist, while still being a Baptist. Lastly I tried to make the above as brief as possible, I don’t want to bore you or our fellow member to tears, so if you would like to discuss this in more detail I would be happy to email or PM you.

To answer your other question ;

You are the vision of gentleness and kindness, I have never had a harsh word with you. I respect your words and that is why I wanted to know your opinion on some issues etc. I suppose the reason I spoke at some length of arguing and my inability to turn the other cheek more than a few times because I did not want to offend you. I know my harsh words put off many religious and even secular people, so I was trying to explain why I a Christian seemed to be arguing in many threads. I just get so upset when I hear God belittled or especially when someone tells falsehoods about God Jesus and general religious belief.

Hi Hillbilly thanks, wudge is fine and he sez HI! And I say hi as one hillbilly to another ! You are my best virtural friend and Wudge (my very old very loved basset for the guests that may be reading this) told me that you are his bestus internet friend too! Bogie (wudgie) sends you his love~ I hear him snoring in my bed behind me! Ha ha

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you get my last PM? very important you let me know I feel there is a hacker creeping sneaking around ……at least that is what my latest search and destroy software tells me~

What denomination or Christian community do you pastor?

I'm good with debating points, but arguing--I tire of it. It seems pointless. Sometimes I like to be a little "spirited." Being Christian doesn't mean being a doormat, and it also doesn't mean one should be "lukewarm." I like conviction! And one can have conviction and not be a jerk about it even if there is disagreement. I don't recall ever having a "fight" with you; is there something I'm forgetting? If there is...let's let it go, and I apologize if I ever offended you. ;)

Hello my friend , hope this finds you well . just wanted to tell you and Wugs hello. [IMG]

A belated hello to you Liebe! Ha ha, well as a man of the cloth I have always have had a passion for religon and its wonderful stories, thinking about Jesus Christ and God can bring tears of love from my eyes. That’s not all that I am a girly man about, I can get emotional looking at wonderful art especially the old masters like Monet , I love French Impressionism because the art allows the veiwer to feel the art and ‘see’ in another way kind of. Some new artists do it too, that and music, Chopin for example, I love that warm feeling, for me it starts in my tail bone (ha ha) in an almost intimate sexual warmth, then it radiates out up my spine then takes over my brain , YES . Or as the French would say Oui!

Art Music God and Harleys what more could a man ask for (well a good woman is a given, ahhh and a billion dollars…and and …).

On a serious note, I highly respect you Liebe and have since I read your first post. You are a special virtual friend.

Hi Rev, you are the coolest Rev I have ever et. What happened to all those tight lipped stiff old guys who whisper? LOL

Cool write me if you do that sort of thing, if not I understand. Greg, Pastor, ABOTC Church @ PO BOX 265 Elizabethton TN

Hi,
Yes I am, from a city called Rishon

Hey Dan man! I was getting worried about you! However I too take many radical sabbaticals from the net. Everything round' here is going good. The work on the church property has nearly stopped due to no funding. This area is depressed anyway and with the nation speeding towards another recession or worse its no wonder that people including Uncle Sam have stopped giving! Not Good for a non profit owner! I would get a real job if there were any to be had! Ha ha~ Take care bro, when the domestic situation changes here I would like to meet you some day over a cuppa coffee~(Beloved Mom, is the biggest ‘situation’ God bless her, I have to be with her 24/7 or pay someone to caretake her if my sis cant. Hey, take care Dan Man, I hope to see you soon! ...

Hey my brother , been a while , thought I'd pop in and say hello ...[IMG]
hope this finds you and your Mom and Wugs in good health and sassy , hard to do in this heat , hollar back when you can , Dan

Hi Wired, I own a church ie Apocalyptic Bearer Of The Cross Church but its just a paper tiger church to support the missions. No big building etc except for an office space. The Church supports the missions via the IRS 501 c tax exempt status.

Ah, the missions, I own and run along with a very small staff, two Christian nonprofit missions and let that do my preaching. One is a humanitarian mission the other is a ‘spiritual warfare’ mission (nothing mean but rather it’s a metaphysical thing that promotes the study of paranormal spirituality. I think it can teach (about the true nature of God) faster than my mouth can! I have guest preached at a number of churches but I usually discuss traditional church doctrine. I do preach end time doctrine and prophesy that is rather radical, and have been asked not to return to one church due to my beliefs! Ha ha I must be doing something right!

I really only support anarchism and civil disobedience as per Jesus Christ and scripture when the government is corrupt (and the USA is pushing that envelope) etc. Sorry for the length of this thing but hey I am a preacher!

I was just wondering, Do your congregation know that you are an anarchist and do you discuss anarchism as much as you do Christianity?
