FresnoJoe: Beloved Jesus Shed His Holy Blood So He Can Clean You Up

UndecidedFrog: I do not want anyone to shed any blood to clean me up. The idea grosses me out.

OldEnglishSheepdog: You're worried Jesus' blood, spilled two thousand years ago, is going to gross you out?

UndecidedFrog: No, I am not worried about blood being spilt 2000 years ago. What would gross me out is if anyone spilt any blood in front of me.

I find it interesting that since Christ's crucifixion the world seems to have realized this. Animal sacrifices have largely stopped, when it used to be practiced by pretty much every culture.

It does not look like your claim has any basis. I did not have much time to go back through the 2000 years, so I stopped at 2009 AD (two years ago) and 20 seconds google:). That does not look like it largely stopped at all LOL

He said largely not completely.

How many times will I have to point out that bragging about how little time someone spends on a google searches does not make for a meaningful contribution, I wonder.

Some christian reminded me of a little piece of wisdom in another thread, whose corollary also applies:

Rule #1: Do not personally attack the christian.

Rule #2: Claim victory and walk away when the christian insults you.

Thank you for providing me with another fine example of your special christian attitude towards me, OES.

I always appreciate such fine examples of christian attitude wherever and whenever I encounter it.

Actually OES said that you were acting like an idiot, not one. Second of all. He was pointing out the completely illogical response you put forth. You have made better arguments that that, and this one was grasping at straws.

Hi Isaiah,

Thanks for the clarification.

So, if I were to claim that you are acting like an idiot, you won't consider that an insult?

I am thinking I am beginning to understand what apologetic mental gymnastics is all about.

Hi Steven,

If you love me enough, you will tell the truth when I ask you:

Do you consider this an insult?: You are acting like an idiot.

I shall learn much from your answer.

Wow no pressure on friendships!!! It is hard to divide the acting from the being but in this regard... I do not believe it to be an insult-

For I have read OES and have many times admired his strength in logic and knowledge of God's Word! He was, with all of what He is, to reason with you the identities in which He believes would establish faith within you and by believing turn you from death toward life! Your apparent dodge of this only substantiated his belief! His frustration is you cannot see you are manipulated by forces you have grew up in and those forces are directing influences of lies and distortions of truth affecting reality. We fight more with the spiritual darkness that holds you than with you UF! You have with me many times joked off important issues cause it leads you to a place where you must concede there is more to The God subject than just fantasy! You don't seem to understand the people we are UF! We believe and live that belief. For to us it is life as it should be lived and within a Spiritual presence of Being that can answer our private requests... so much so that we are furthered into our faith and we are made certain of the reality of eternal torments that are coming! The more we give of ourselves to you the more we become concerned for that which you joke away! I certainly will have no pleasure in your finding out after death when choice through faith is gone! I can tell you none of us want to belittle you, degrade you or any other harmful thing. What you experience from us is extreme concern for your wellbeing!

The why of my answer comes in a question- why would he try to drive away that which we want to see drawn toward us? I would like to introduce the black spirit (we are at war with) within you that wispers that lie to try to separate you further from the truth by removing perhaps the only influence around you for God 'US'...This is why I don't think insult... I think He's saying: man you've got a brain just use it and reason in solid evidience that is presented to you because we were where you are now UF! I don't think you realize we are all converted because of Biblical evidence and honest science!

Love, Your Friend, Steven
