No choice when it comes to a no show.<br /><br />Well, actually, there is this one other choice . . . that's the way I went.Corkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15894537940881776504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52912413020249030.post-19567504599169470242011-02-10T07:21:33.433+13:002011-02-10T07:21:33.433+13:00Perhaps the black knight going "It's only...Perhaps the black knight going "It's only a flesh wound" while he's only a torso sitting on the ground is more appropriate.Russell Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03551250544512295798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52912413020249030.post-53808957403950814972011-02-10T06:12:50.557+13:002011-02-10T06:12:50.557+13:00There may be cause for optimism: Most of the minis...There may be cause for optimism: Most of the ministers and churches which have left the UCG were among those with poorer incomes; as such, they had to be supported by the other churches with greater income.<br /><br />As a result, United may be more rich and prosperous, increased in goods, and not only need nothing, but have lots of loot to spare to boot. Besides, they got rid of all those useless dissidents. <br /><br />We're talking physically, not spiritually.<br /><br />It's too bad that the whole thing is a tempest in a teapot which is utterly meaningless. With British Israelism little more Science Fiction alternate history, not unlike Scientology, the UCG cult is little more than an abberation of insanity from a Heretic who rebelled against the CoG7.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52912413020249030.post-90591775385719501182011-02-10T02:28:40.386+13:002011-02-10T02:28:40.386+13:00If anything in our culture the idea/hope of Jesus ...If anything in our culture the idea/hope of Jesus coming back to fix it all has become somewhat suspect. 99% of anyone I know who retains a deep faith has pretty much given up on wanting to fix earth so Heaven sounds just lovely when we die as individuals. <br /><br />Jesus would have to be a terrible task master and dictator, which seems to be a rather ouchy topic on our planet these days anyway, to get everyone on the planet to see the truth of the one right way, taught by the one true Church who now are the not many but best true leaders of the New World Order, oops...Kingdom of God.<br /><br />Hopefully by now, Adam and Eve, especially Eve has gotten over casting all of the billions to come into sin, Abraham is on his meds for thinking that voice in his head about taking his son on a one way vacation up the mountain and the main players in the New Testament Church can finally agree on just what the Gospel was and the game rules. <br /><br />But if there is a heaven. If I get to go because unconditional love really doesn't have all those conditions. And if I don't have to be around some people who may also have made it, Then perhaps that would be nice.<br /><br />However if I hear one word about:<br /><br />There were two trees...<br /><br />God is a uniplural being made up of three Hypostasis, fully this yet fully that, totally connected and yet ONE...<br /><br />Send it in...<br /><br />And yes brethren, I am an Apostle<br /><br />God is testing us...<br /><br />God is cleaning up his Church<br /><br />We are now on track (wrong trip though)<br /><br />Let's sing, "Death shall them seize and to the tomb alive they shall go down.."
