Well Brother Temperance... I did not realize that we were children now... Reduced to name calling... Would God appreciate that?

I do not know this toadspawn character, but just because one has many children does not make them a slut now does it? Perhaps they just enjoy the raising of children.

I find it humorous though how a thread about the basic rules of using this forum got so far off topic... Why must people do that so often?

No of course you don't.

How many more usernames do you need? Don't you have your own forum to waffle on instead of persecuting us?

I was not blaming my keyboard, I was merely saying it is much easier to type without putting in a whole bunch of puncuation.

It is much easier to type without punctuation. It is also much harder to read what someone has written if they dismiss the basic rules of the written language.

In spoken conversation, when a person pauses, one "hears" a comma. A longer, more pointed pause, is taken for a period. A certain inflection of the voice indicates a question. Without these obvious aural signals , written language depends absolutely on the proper use of punctuation. One's grammar can remain atrocious in both the speaking and written context, but punctuation in the printed word is vital if anyone is to follow the thoughts expressed in the words as presented.

Reading something written with limited or no punctuation is akin to listening to someone talk nonstop very fast, until they run out of breath. Such people should not be surprised if they are difficult to understand. Furthermore, they should not be so easily offended if no one seems to respect their point of few.

Unmeasured speech, like poorly written prose, detracts from the information that the speaker or writer is trying to convey. People struggling to absorb even the gist of what is being communicated are understandably annoyed at the effort required and so more easily dismiss what is being said.

Speak well; read well ;write well; think well.

Just to continue on with what Sister Handmaiden stated.

I found your essay to be a delightful piece of prose, thank you. You have put into words so well, that which I have been trying to explain to those with whom I correspond.

I learned that I have to knock down walls with mildew on them. Do you do that?

Tinfoil, I fear you are severely deluded in this. You have evidently read the Word of God in some slapdash version perpetrated by atheists. The passage you have in mind is in Leviticus 14:

Lev 14:34: When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession; 35And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house: 36Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house: 37And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall; 38Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days: 39And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house; 40Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city: 41And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place: 42And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house. 43And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered; 44Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean. 45And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place. 46Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even. 47And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
48And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. 49And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: 50And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water: 51And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times: 52And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet: 53But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
54This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, 55And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house, 56And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot: 57To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.



This is the only correct version of the passage, in the KJV 1611 Bible, the Word of God (tm) in English English for Americans.


There is no mention of mildew here, although the obscurantists responsible for so-called "popular" so-called "Bibles" do indeed render mildew for leprosy.


They will indeed be weeping and gnashing their teeth when leprous afflictions visit their Godless dwellings, but they do not recognise their salvation in their bowdlerised screeds.

Well you obviously figured out how to post. Now go here and post your introduction and tell us about how you found Jesus.

Re: Basic words to forum by

I read Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, The Gospels, and Revalation. I learned that I have to knock down walls with mildew on them. Do you do that? Oh, and have you heard of this thing called the Holocaust? Or the Spanish Inquisition? Or the Salem Witch Trials? All done in the name of God.

Of COURSE they were done in the name of God. <sigh> And the problem with those events is......? You have a problem with God punishing the Joos for killing Christ? As for the Spanish so-called Inquisition, Inquisitor de Torquemada should have said "No More Mister Nice Guy" and stop asking politely. And what is your counter to Exodus 22:18: Thou shalt not suffer a WITCH to live. Eh? The Inquisition was about the only thing the godless Papists got right. God wants soldiers wearing spiritual armor, not draft-dodging weenies like you.

I wish I had seen this earlier, to quote for noobs. Thank you, Brother. This is perfect.
