Featured Literary Parody?...or Something Else? Really?

Nah,

You just don't like your hand called for something that was so terrible, and you desire to excuse it.

Blame me all you want, even scorn my response, but the truth is your post (which I did read - though you claim I didn't) was inappropriate.

It was no minor statement that you made, and as much as you would desire to characterize it as such cannot be made into any likeness of a right portrayal of a Holy God.

If one is attempting to ridicule the view of another, they don't need to be calling God's character into question - which is what you did when you literally called God blind, foolish, a fool ...

There is no poetic license to be awarded to that statement you made:

(just so the forum folk know the quote in context)

No. I think it was quite the opposite....who said anything about it being "responsible" or "prudent"?
Quite frankly E.W.F. when it comes to God and his love of mankind....I think he was absolutely RECKLESS, FOOLISH, IMPRUDENT and BLIND....and he threw caution to the wind and gave EVERYTHING....his dignity, his life, his blood, to hang beaten and naked and tortured because he was a "love-sick" fool. That was HIS decision, not mine. I was the OBJECT of his "love-sick" tom-foolery and I was never worth, and (In my opinion) never will be. But, HE seems to think I am. That is his problem not mine, I am merely the fortunate recipient of his poor decision-making.

If God had a wise father E.W.F.....he would have told him to be "responsible" and "prudent" and that the object of his affections (namely you and me) weren't worth it, and that he should find a more respectable BRIDE or, at least, a bride who wouldn't fool around on him and fornicate with idols.

God wasn't "prudent" in the least. He was a love-sick fool who made a sacrifice of himself on this Earth in order to redeem a worthless sin-sick whore who didn't care a fig about him and make her his BRIDE. He did so, because he (pay attention to this word):
LOVED her!
​

I didn't bold anything. I didn't put any part of that statement you made in quotes.

You attempt to portray God in some humanistic sensual equivalency of terms that are demeaning and cheapening to both His holiness and authority. God is Love, the agape love that humankind only reach by ascending from "faith to goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love."

Was that what you described above?

Nope.

I don't see you doing anything more here on this thread than rationalizing inappropriate behavior such as a child might.

However, I doubt the next time you post something you desire as pointing out a view as absurd, you will remember this little chat and be a bit less comfortable characterizing the Holy God as you did above.

 

Sure it makes sense.

Of course what you are describing would apply only to the state of Adam and Eve in Eden before the fall, and to that eternal hope of the believer.

True innocence, freedom and total willing response to God's influence.

But unfortunately, sin does pay wages.

 

Please...spare my your convluded logic...trust me...it gets you nowhere fast and its a truly pathetic argument.

Be honest, do you understand what a cheat is?

 

It would have been nice for at least some literary device to have been used by Javert's post.

Perhaps, because you and Javert present yourselves as experts, you can give great literacy lessons to the BB of how all types of literary devices can be seen appropriately used in the Scriptures.

 

Let me put it this way.

Because the BB threads are linked to the whole world for whoever to read and make certain constructs as to what believer's represent - Did that post represent the following passage of Scripture?

2Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; 3praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; 4that I may make it clear in the way I ought to speak.

5Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. 6Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.
​

If you can honestly state that the OP question presents a post (that which I placed later in the thread in context) that meets that Scripture, then I will recant my statements on this thread.

 

So, Adam and Eve didn't hide themselves from God, didn't blame and excuse their behavior, but were "unchanged (n)or (did it) negate human freedom?' What freedom did they demonstrate hiding from God? Did they not demonstrate a change in not only relationship/fellowship desires with God, but toward each other, too? And what of the curse of the work and the labor of childbirth they would each face after the fall. Were these part of unchanged and un-negated human freedom?

Is it not possible for humankind not to persist in marring the design of God for them self? Does not the Scripture state "all have sinned?"

Yet, it is true that God did not change His design.

Yet, did not Christ state that He will make the believer "free indeed." Therefore, there must be a bondage from which one is to be set free indeed - else Christ would not have cause to express the term.

So, pre fall and eternal hope still fit your scheme rather well, just not the current condition of the heathen.

 

Since it was directed at you...you got a problem with it. In debate your supposed to prove me wrong...to date you have not. Instead, your commentary is much more apt to prove my case as spot on. And this bit of bit of drama with HOS is merely a veiled excuse to attack me....and you miserably failed.

Anyway a real man would have either taken it private or publically denounced it right then and there...and you failed there as well. Where is your.....er ... ok guts man?

 

CHECKMATE! LOL:thumbsup:

 

ROFL...... Wah wah wah! :laugh:

feel better after your hissy fit sweet heart? LOL

What a wuss, LOL, what a wuss! :laugh:

BTW.... anybody ever tell you that you look like Corkey Romano...the resemblance (in more ways than is remarkable) Ha Ha Ha

Tell ya what.....why dont you and your girlfriend go spend some time shopping at the mall & maybe go out & get your nails done together....I know your type generally feel better after that....maybe buy some shoes....oh yea, his type might have to be metal & shaped like a U considering the laugh. :laugh:

 

Everything about you is over the top tense & and honestly...anal. Your opinionated, arrogant & frankly funny in your attempt to be serious. and trust me, others have noticed. May I suggest yoga & maybe some breathing exercises to relax.....Id even offer you a beer but that would probably offend you as well knowing the righteous dude you really are. On second thought, the pedicure is probably right up your alley.:thumbs:

 

So which is it, is my "type" because I'm Jewish? Or do I have a girlfriend or are you accusing me of being a homosexual since you did say 'his type'.

Your fake spiritually shines brighter all the time.

 

You have been told several times that your national origin and ethnic background have nothing to do with debates on this board. Also, if you bothered to read BB rules, discussion of human sexuality is not allowed.

As far as your last comment, with your track record of honesty and sincerity, and having known EWF pretty well for quite some time, guess one which has the fruits of the Holy Spirit?

 

If anyone violated a BB rule, it was EWF by making a veiled reference to homosexuality.

And if my national origin has nothing to do with debates, then you and your buddies should stop bringing them up every time I say something about the Bible that mentions the word "Israel". I understand that name probably isn't in any Bible that you use, but it's in the one that most of us Non Calvinists use.
