Preach it far and wide, Sister! Spread it like the fast-growing germ of Truth™ that lays low the haughty until they are prostrate* themselves before The Lord, whimpering in their diseased sinfulness!

I am not sure why I was singled out, Sister Handmaiden. As an intelligent, etc., etc., man, I don't need the weaker gender to correct me. Are you implying that I might be in need of such correction? Don't try to usurp authority over me, woman. I rebuke you in the loving Name of Jesus H. Christ. Now - go make me a sandwich.

Forgive me, BrotherLarry. It was not my intent to single you out in my initial post. I just wanted to share the link to the statement made by a pastor's wife who has been known to vigorously support Trump.

Because, Trump, spiritual and physical well-being, and trust in Jesus just naturally go together.

My footnote was just a way of pointing out the all-important "t" in the word that I used. I know that some people get the words confused, but I didn't mean to suggest that you wouldn't know the difference between "prostate" and "prostrate".

In your vast and varied experience witnessing to condemned homersexuals around the world, I'm sure that you noticed their, uh, inclination towards having their prostates examined, after which, they are often prostrate from the intensity of the experience.

It's probably because they know that they are courting rectal cancer day in and day out, so when they get a (temporary) clean bill of health, they lay there, panting with relief. Of course, as soon as possible, they're off to the doctor, to make sure that their prostates are humming along, doing whatever prostates are meant to do.

You do forgive me, BrotherLarry, don't you? Afterall, I don't have your education and experience, so how would I know what a prostate does?

Just ask them how we ever survived before there were any "flu shots" at all? They can't answer. Some burbled mumbojumbo, all weasel words and terms-of-art. Honestly, the gobbledygook they come up with! I'd be very suspicious of that sister, Mary. How is this any different from those halfwits who sell crystals to harness the energies. Here's one who's managed to persuade idiots from UAE (one of the hotter desert regions of the Arabian peninsula) to buy his package deal visiting Alice Springs (one of the hotter desert regions in Australila) with what thrilling prospect when they get there? Why, how foolish of me to ask!! They get to walk over hot sand and burn their feet of course!! I suppose with suckers like that on his doorstep, how could he resist?

A hot-sand walking event is happening in Alice Springs this weekend and it's all the way from the United Arab Emirates.

ABCs Emma Sleath speaks to Dr Mohamad Asmi about the health benefits of 'grounding'

No wonder "doctors" in the Emirates drive around in gold-plated Lamborghinis. But it's only money. Swallowing this "flu-shot" nonsense involves a greater loss. God has promised us perfect health; rejecting His promise is a rejection of Jesus who went so far as exsanguination, crying aloud and the lash to guarantee our perfect health. How must He feel when He sees people throwing His Precious Sacrifice back in His face "No thank you Jesus, your plan is gibberish and I spit on your grave" they are saying. Maybe not in words, but certainly by their actions. Jesus has actions too. He will supervise a very thorough torture regime for those rejecting His gracious offer of love. And that is a very high price to pay.

Your sister is making that choice for her children. If you spoke to the deaconess she could advise you about shunning this appalling sister or perhaps one of The Pastors may have time for a word?

I do extend my forgiveness to you, Sister, as Christ would demand. I believe in kindness at all times (Ephesians 4:32). Your post inspired me to think of all the times I was prostate on the floor in front of the LORD, praying for more of the homer community to come with me and know what joy really is. Thank you for placing those memories in my mind.


I haven't received that sandwich, though. Get steppin.

I reminded her that Jesus gave us a metaphorical flu shot when He died on the Cross for us, and all she needs to do is turn her life over to Him and compel her children to do the same.

She started to argue with me until I pulled out my Holy Bible and spoke the Word over her talking. Jesus tells us that hearing Scripture will beget Faith (Romans 10:17), and while I'm still waiting for her Faith to kick in, I thought I'd share here the Scripture Verses I shared with her. By the end of our conversation I was screaming and she had hung up on me, but the verses are still good. I would encourage any True Christian™ to go to their local pharmacy with your children and recite these aloud. If the heretical Salvation Army can stand outside the pharmacy with their stupid bells at Christmastime, we can stand outside the pharmacy with our megaphones.

And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.
Exodus 15:26

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Psalm 103:3

But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
Matthew 12:15

He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
Psalm 105:37

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:4-5

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
1 Peter 2:24-25

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Mark 11:22-26

Thank you for failing to address ANY of Mrs. Etheldreda's Biblical proofs with your completely unsubstantiated response.

Do you realize the Bible is God's Word? And, do you realize the implications of not accepting Jesus as your personal Savior?

These are serious matters, Thick. You could spend eternity in hell for making jokes about the Bible.

It's called "supporting your argument", and you could take a lot of lessons from these people.

Or you could just carry on spouting naught but your own unsupported opinion (and so righteous it will be), making yourself and your alleged teachers look worse with each post.






Ok, I'll make popcorn.

You can't support an argument with a centuries old book that doesn't mention vaccines and was before the age of medicine.

And why not? The Bible's been around for so many years for a reason. Before the age of medicine was Jesus Christ who performed healing miracles (Matthew 8:5-13) (Luke 7:1-10). The Bible is a timeless legacy of bodily truth that any doctor can and should turn to. You on the other have a few decades (fewer?) left on this Earth so flat while the Bible will echo for the eons to come.

Mr. Much may be a hellbound fellow, he did ask you a valid question however. He does know his Bible, and no doubt was refering to Ezekiel 43:24: And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.


The verse preceding refers to the bull, the bollock not unlike the kind that makes up your arguments, dear. Do you cast salt upon it?


It seems he's burned you in this matter, and is asking if you salt your wounds. Your victory is Pyrrhic and shared alone by your lonesome.

No... When he said salt he was indirectly calling me a sore loser... Salty can mean upset or just being a baby.

I was asking how you take your damned popcorn, because I'm settling in as this will apparently take a while.


Protip: read stuff that is there, and ignore the stuff that isn't. It'll help with your Bible reading, too.

If the Bible was written before the age of medicine, how come it mentions medicine?

2 Chroniclers 16:12-13
12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians.
13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

James 5:14-16
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

The Bible is very clear on this subject. Sick people, who seek a doctor, die. Sick people, who are prayed over, are healed.

Sister Basilissa, I have often pondered on these verses, specifically James 5:14. I have taken it to mean that Our Lord will raise the invalid up to Heaven with his or her sins forgiven. This is certainly the position I adopted when explaining why I was praying for my late step-grandmother-in-law during her later, most demented period and I was delighted when Our Lord duly obliged. But perhaps I was wrong about this?

It's been proven vaccinations cause what is the modern day is called autism. The name in an earlier time was "madness." Anyone who wants to become afflicted with madness should go ahead and get vaccinated for everything. Stuff your arm with egg whites, mercury and whatever else in in that stuff.
