Legalism

[paul wassona]

My favorite all time superbowl commercial is the EDS cat round up however I also like the tabasco sauce exploding mosquitos. Those two comercials have corrupted my mind.

I haven't seen those but they do sound funny!:laugh:

Shoes don't belong in any church, although they are useful in a social gathering which calls itself a church.

Shoes have NOTHING to do with God and neither will any of dirt that is tracked in by them.

Shoes aren't exactly associated with sinful lusts like alcohol is either.


You're really stretching things here and I expect it's a way of making yourself feel better about something.

I have yet to see where shoes are condemned by God but that's not true about alcohol.

On the flip side, there are numerous verses in scripture that praise wine. There is not a single verse in scripture that praise shoes.

Hey, I'm just applying your same standard. In doing so, it's incredibly easy to demonstrate how ridiculous that standard is.

Look, I'm not a fan of chancing church plans to accommodate the Super Bowl, but is it scripturally wrong? No. The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. If a church wants to change their plans to watch the SB, let 'em. I might not like it, but they don't need my approval.

Any verses that praise tobasco sauce?

There's a Hot Sauce Bible, does that count?

What will the churches do during the beer ads and the prostate commericals?

Well I will open up a cold beer and thank God for the medicine developed for enlarged prostate!

No doubt inspired by the Holy Spirit.

I like my bible hot and spicy!

 

[Johnv]

I like my bible hot and spicy!

That explains what Song of Solomon is doing in scripture.

The context of praising wine is a direct reference to having joy and not getting drunk, if this isn't the case then God is confused by your suggestions in He condemns it then turns around and contradicts Hisself and approves of the consumption of it.

Well, except the facts and common sense tend to disagree with that conclusion.

Look, I'm not a fan of chancing church plans to accommodate the Super Bowl, but is it scripturally wrong? No. The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. If a church wants to change their plans to watch the SB, let 'em. I might not like it, but they don't need my approval.

If any organization wants to do anything within the law it is their choice, but when it involves the confines of the sanctuary it concerns things that are to be holy and separated from the profane, if that's what you mean by talking about the Sabbath.

But will you stand in the sanctuary and do this in the midst of the congregation?:type:

Will you also pass a few around and tell how your activity in the use of your prostate has increased and your satisfaction of you and your partner acheived?:type:


God said there was a time when men could not be found to separate the holy from the profane and here we are, well, except some of us still do satnd in that gap!:thumbs:

Seems abomination of desolation might be a good topic.

 

[paul wassona]

That explains what Song of Solomon is doing in scripture.

My understanding of the Song is the zeal and passion the Bridegroom and the Bride have for each other. I find it profane to suggest anything concerning something between a man and a woman in sexual terms alone.

There is nothing funnier than to see someone comment on something when they have not idea what they are talking about. You obviously don't know anything about the prostate. The medicine used to treat enlagred prostate has nothing to do with sexual activity. In the future don't be so quick to let your ignorance show!

Yet sexual terms abound, do they not?

 

[annsni]

Isn't that for a prescription for medicinal purposes to help a sour stomach?

The alcohol doesn't help, but only the purging effect of the grape juice does help. People in the medical profession recommend juice and not wine.

Thanks for the input though:thumbsup:

You're welcome for my input - but your thoughts here are wrong since Mr. Welch's wasn't alive in Bible times.
:wavey:

Since we're not to talk about intimate things amongst the mixed crowd, all I'll say is that you're absolutely wrong with your thoughts on this.

I do understand what you are saying about the Bridegroom and the Bride.

And yet, my thinking is that the passionate and loving sex between a husband and a wife is something that is NOT profane. So, as misunderstood as this book of the Bible is, could it not be about the relations between two married lovers? I don't think of that as profane.

 

[paul wassona]

The Song is a complete metaphorical design of the beauty of a courtship with the many sensual overtones associated. Regrettably liberalism has perverted the book and tried to make it profane, frustrating the scripture and fashioning it into something less than spiritual.

Now we have people who somehow disconnect themselves from knowing what prostate commercials refer to about acheivement and enhancement as they go off into a complacency and utter denial.

There is a big difference between an enlarged prostate and erectile dysfunction. Again, learn what you are talking about before you make a fool of yourself!

 

[paul wassona]

Hi Robert, you know what I was talking about and stop acting as if the prostate isn't connected. I'll be avoiding what you have so openly mentioned because it seems to be too specific a term. SELAH
