I bet a bishop knows.

WITAF does it mean?

Mike: "Think about the rule to not change a word: In a translation nearly EVERY word is changed from one language to another." That's why it's called translation!! This sinister, cunning argument is seductive illogic to a dull mind, to a mind seeking to beleeeve, to a mind raising a stop sign to clarity of thought. Victor's writings and holding forths are replete with these pithy seductions to kneel before the gods of willful ignorance, intellectual dishonesty and non sequitur. Statements like this SEEM accurate, logical. But they are so astonishingly, blindingly stupid, they can seduce even the most humble lover of God to turn and follow the luminescent piper. Just exhausting!

Uh-oh

Well, he has hunches, but he’s no bishop.

Lots to refute here, bless his little heart, but I’ll start with thie quote above. Anyone know WITAF are the principles of greatness?

What a disaster.

Howard Allen, bless his heart, was dead wrong about this. Dead wrong. His error is not surprising, considering who his "teacher" was. Only David Goggins needs 3-4 hours of sleep.

All these decades spent mastering a charlatan’s collaterals, yet not one ounce of effort to learn Greek! ”Virtue” is a peculiar choice by the KJV committee. (It’s not their only weird translation choice.) Literally, every other Bible version is more accurate than the KJV on this verse. Find out for yourself. Learn how to research. Learn how to learn. And the “virtue” didn’t go out of him like gas goes out of a car. He didn’t become depleted of a limited commodity in that moment. He felt it go out from him, he felt the movement and transfer of power, not the depletion of power.

A limited volume of shares are also traded on the New Knoxville Stock Exchange (NKSE). Maggie Muggins, Johnny Jumpup, Henry Boloko, and Snowball Pete are licensed traders. They can help you plan for your spiritual future. To clear the confusion, I'm telling you this today. I'm not telling you this yesterday, I'm not telling you this tomorrow. I realize this isn't obvious. That's why today I'm telling you that I'm telling you today. Math! So accurate!

Oh. Like spiritual suspicion, spiritual anger and spiritual scat play? guanciale pesto carbonara

"Spiritual commodities." I rest my case.

How does one act like a loving psychiatrist for a person? What do you mean?

So, the clergy/leadership is expected to make a lifetime commitment to the corporation, but the corporation won’t make a lifetime commitment to the clergy/leadership? Sounds like leadership just isn’t beleeving big enough. But, Hey! God will cover. Where do I sign up?

Well, I don't want you to spend more time here. I don't have any wants for you at all. You aren't helping me. You aren't ministering to me. And I won't pretend or make believe that you are. I won't pretend Santa Claus has a side hustle breeding Easter bunnies. I won't pretend four crucified is accurate. I won't pretend victor was a THE man of god. I won't pretend a lie is the truth. I have a vivid, healthy imagination, but I won't play these pretend games.

I think I made my position on this verse known in another thread. But I haven’t put forth an opinion either way on ADAN. I am only interested in what the text says. (It doesn’t always agree with itself. I’m ok with that.) victor’s asserted opinion was incorrect. Look at the immediate and remote contexts. Look at precedents of speech “habit patterns.” When does Jesus, or anyone, tell their audience on the day they are speaking that it is, in fact, that very same day that they are speaking? “This makes no sense,” Victor said anytime he needed to MAKE something FIT. But this time he corrupted the text by changing it wholesale. Hey! He had a private agenda to advance Ask yourself if victor’s whimsical claim was intellectually honest, or was it cutting off fingers to make the hand fit the glove. victor had his own private interpretive theology He had an organized religious opinion to protect. If a verse didn’t align with his imagination, he crossed it out, or else, he added punctuation. The added comma is just that, added. That’s my opinion on the text. I’m open to being wrong.

STOP! NO! NOT SO FAST! This will require time. Something he just doesn’t have. He’s busy. You’ve got to do whatever it takes to beleeve this. You’ve got to beleeve it until you know that you know that you know how busy he is.

Yikes! Hey! You're busy. There is only so much time. It runs out. Skim reading: a tried and true time saving practice. Intellectual honesty is the headlamp of idea spelunking. Yes you have. So little time. Where will you ever find the time?

Is God a concept? If so, man invented God. To glove fit God into a formula, a model, is to conceptualize God, to imaginatively invent God.

Understandable. There are not enough hours in a day.

Suddenly, I am reminded of a video I recently posted on another thread.

I’ve noticed. Do they base their beleeefs on Bible verses? Or are they just eating a lot of cookies?

It seems Bickle thinks he can effectuate the beginning of the eschaton with prayer and song. God can’t do this himself? God needs an earthly minister to bring about the Divine Plan? God doesn’t have foreknowledge? God’s timeline is contingent upon the activities of the preacher man du jour. Maybe there is some scriptural basis for this. I don’t know. Hey! I didn’t write the book. I didn’t bake the cookies, either.

“Street culture,” Really? Hmmm…ok. I think T-Bone included a definition of euphemism in a recent post. Chris, the subject of this Soft White Underbelly video, is a mentally ill homeless drug addict. A disproportionate number of homeless are mentally ill, and drug abuse often goes hand in hand with mental illness - a sinister irony that simultaneously provides a sensation of relief while exacerbating and advancing the disease. What I find remarkable about Chris is that he is so self aware. He knows the voices and delusions are symptoms/manifestations of his disease. He seems to so easily switch between the rational and irrational. He is articulate and honest about his disease, if in denial about how the drugs are making it all much, much worse - delusions all the way down. The Haldol is probably helping with his clarity. Much of Chris’ behavior in this video (legs and hands) are due to his methamphetamine use, which he readily admits he is high AF on at the moment of filming. Chris seems like a very sweet guy. Just very sick. No devil spirits to be found here.
