Even the Devil can quote Scripture...

...but when your homepage is a Bible search engine you can regurgitate like a bulimic spambot!

I say, Holmes, er, Flint! Good show - fine deduction, eh what?

OK. Can anyone say, "ringer?"

Enter the Bible passage (e.g. John 3:16), keyword (e.g. Jesus, prophet, etc.) or topic (e.g. salvation) you want to find.
For some reason that made me laugh out loud.

I don't think Gannet is a ringer, just committed. I noticed the profile and homepage when he/she registered. I've been waiting for this but I was sure you kids could hold your own.

Quoting some out of context lines from the Bible and saying that's what the Bible says, is like quoting some words from the dictionary and saying that's what the dictionary says.

I was also sitting back and watching the entertainment.

I'm probably telling tales out of school with this, but I was waiting for the proselytizing bomb to drop shortly after Gannet reported a couple years old post for being mean to Jesus.

Hey, maybe the kid went to Jesus Camp?

nope, nor Bible college. I simply study the bible with the help of e-sword so I can compare translations and review commentaries, and I search the internet for additional help. that silly Jesus Camp should be closed down, that's not what Jesus would have people do.

you have to understand that there are closed-minded people within AND outside of religion, and also strong thinkers within and outside of religion. one does not need to be weak minded to be in religion, only strong-faithed.



> the proselytizing bomb to drop

i'm not proselytizing, i'm telling you the good news of the Lordship and resurrection of Jesus. You can believe it and be saved, or not. Jesus talked about people who proselytize:

Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

I'm not interested in making any of you "children of hell", as I'm afraid some of those poor kids in Jesus camp may end up being, but only to stir up your hearts unto faith in the real, living, God.

The debil went down the Cellar
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
Cause he was way behind
He was willin' to make a deal.

Even if I died, I would just be raised to life again by Jesus. What will happen to YOU when you die?
