Hate to have to tell you this, but Easter has nothing to do with rabbits, eggs, candy and social activities.
It’s about the proof of the defeat of Satan and the death he brought mankind for those who are willing to participate in it through the atonement with God it freely offers..

Victor, hate to have to tell you this, but Easter is a Pagan holiday celebrating spring. Has been since well before the Christian era (Easter derives from the name of the goddess Eostre). You want to co-opt it and tie it to the resurrection of Christ that’s your business. We Pagans want to celebrate the resurrection of the cycle of life with rabbits and eggs, that’s ours. Crass materialists want to turn it into an opportunity to poison children with candy, that’s their business.

Will you white Pagan Satan worshipping meatheads stop microaggressing me.You should be just another guilt ridden liberal but no you want to cause division in the TBP ranks. …Christ was delivered for our sins and was raised for our justification.. Romans 4:25
Justification means …to be declared righteous..CHRIST perfect life of obedience is credited to the life of the sinner ,while simultaneously the sinner sin is credited by divine reckoning to Jesus , the sin bearing substitute. God confirms justification by raising Jesus from the dead ,thus vindicating his great atoning sacrifice.
Don’t make have to explain this again.

Anybody who ties Pagans to Satanists obviously doesn’t know anything about either one. Anybody who ties Pagans to liberals has no idea about either one. I know plenty of liberals who are Christians. Pagans tend to lean libertarian or anarchist and it seems to me there’s plenty of people with libertarian leanings on TBP.
The whole resurrection thing is pretty cool and Jesus was a pretty amazing guy from what I’ve read, so you want to co-opt a Pagan holiday to celebrate them go right ahead. Just don’t expect me to buy into your rabid Christian Right fanaticism.

Hey pagan , all forms of paganism are just dressed up forms of Satanism. To worship your pagan gods you have to reject Christ. You either worship Christ or Satan. No middle ground , no in between , no extra credit and no grading on a curve.
He that believes on /in the Son has (now ) everlasting life:and he that believes not in Christ shall not see life …. BUT THE WRATH OF GOD ABIDES ON HIM .(You)

If the drought is being reported now, it is to use it as an excuse for raising taxes. Like Detroit, they will jack up water prices, link them to house taxes and foreclose on scofflaws.

Only my interpretation of Christiality and bible verses is the right one. Blah, blah, blah. Typical right wing Christian nutcase. BTW Romans is a letter containing one man’s interpretation of Christianity and not a very good interpretation at that. The gospels are pretty mangled, but at least there’s some good stuff in there and they are more directly related to Jesus and his teachings. Now if the bible was still in it’s original form or it had any writings by Jesus himself, it might be more interesting. You do know that large parts were left out of the bible or modified over time by men with selfish interests, right? So you think that what we’ve been left with is the divine word of God? Hardly.

Finding health through nature, meditation and prayer, and more proof of the hereafter and the continued lives of those I love that have already passed, has brought me back to God. And this Easter has been extra special for me. I heard a message loud and clear:
God told Samuel that HE was King of Man, the people refused and demanded a Man to be their King.
We men, and our Kings, have ended up in subjugation, tyranny, condemnation and pain, nearly every time we grow our civilizations, and this hurt God enough that he sent his only begotten son to prove to us that he is Love, that he doesn’t want to hate and hurt and punish us as man does, he wants to love us and help our spirits grow to be more Godlike.
We, as in the majority, were all so freaking cloaked in their self-righteousness and belief of their right/righteous/God(s) favored flavor of control of people – rather religious or, in those times, Roman, – we demanded and helped to kill God’s son.
Yet he still tried through his disciples to tell us it isn’t to late, so we killed them all too. And he sent Prophets and I now believe Healers, yep, usually shut down too and prosecuted or outright killed too.
It is now my opinion that self-righteous, hate filled, judgmental Christians and Statists, have much Death at the hands of their beliefs to atone for in the Heaven they are so sure they have exclusive access to. Or they assume nothing, so today’s behavior doesn’t matter. So many assume this is it, even as they know that energy never truly dies, it just changes form.
Don’t feel all martyr about your upcoming atonement though, many other religions that teach judgement and hate instead of personal growth and love have the exact same penance. Oh yeah, want to know Hell? It’s when you are made to feel the hate and hurt of your judgements before you become closer to our Creator.
To teach that God created everything except EVERY Tribe of Men is the most ludicrous and ridiculous thing I’ve ever had to analyze. It makes absolutely no sense in any realm of any world.
Yet you Christ followers seem to end up there, time and time and time again, and you find that God is a picker and chooser, and you got chosen.
Even though His Son died saying the EXACT opposite.
Stone me for the truth. People just like you did it to Jesus, why should I expect anything less.

That passage from Samuel is one of my favorites! It’s been most enjoyable watching your spiritual progression over the years.
Here is 1 Samuel Chapter 8 in full. The Living Bible version as it makes the story so much clearer. If I were in charge of titling chapters in the Bible I would have done it this way; — “You assholes want a King? Be careful what you ask for!”
============================
In his old age, Samuel retired and appointed his sons as judges in his place. Joel and Abijah, his oldest sons, held court in Beersheba; but they were not like their father, for they were greedy for money. They accepted bribes and were very corrupt in the administration of justice. Finally the leaders of Israel met in Ramah to discuss the matter with Samuel. They told him that since his retirement things hadn’t been the same, for his sons were not good men.
“Give us a king like all the other nations have,” they pleaded. Samuel was terribly upset and went to the Lord for advice.
“Do as they say,” the Lord replied, “for I am the one they are rejecting, not you—they don’t want me to be their king any longer. Ever since I brought them from Egypt they have continually forsaken me and followed other gods. And now they are giving you the same treatment. Do as they ask, but warn them about what it will be like to have a king!”
So Samuel told the people what the Lord had said:
“If you insist on having a king, he will conscript your sons and make them run before his chariots; some will be made to lead his troops into battle, while others will be slave laborers; they will be forced to plow in the royal fields and harvest his crops without pay, and make his weapons and chariot equipment. He will take your daughters from you and force them to cook and bake and make perfumes for him. He will take away the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his friends. He will take a tenth of your harvest and distribute it to his favorites. He will demand your slaves and the finest of your youth and will use your animals for his personal gain. He will demand a tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. You will shed bitter tears because of this king you are demanding, but the Lord will not help you.”
But the people refused to listen to Samuel’s warning.
“Even so, we still want a king,” they said, “for we want to be like the nations around us. He will govern us and lead us to battle.”
So Samuel told the Lord what the people had said, and the Lord replied again, “Then do as they say and give them a king.”
So Samuel agreed and sent the men home again.
============================
Here is another excellent passage reflecting the Broken Heart of God.
“Your own conduct and actions have brought this on you. This is your punishment. How bitter it is! How it pierces to the heart! Oh, my anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain. Oh, the agony of my heart! My heart pounds within me, I cannot keep silent. For I have heard the sound of the trumpet; I have heard the battle cry.” ————- Jeremiah 4:18-19

1. Your obsession with me and masturbation is downright creepy at this point.
2. There is zero … ZERO!!! …. humor in those types of posts. It takes zero creativity, zero imagination, zero intelligence. It is less than juvenile. It’s like being 10 years old and discovering the word “penis” is in the dictionary. “Penis!!! Ohhh, ahh, look. Funny!” For most of us, by the time we turned 11, it was no longer funny. What would be funny is if the next version of Webster’s has a picture of you next to the word ‘penis’. At least it would be accurate.
3. You pollute this board daily. I have considered posting just once or twice a week … just to get away from you.

Thank you Stucky. You played a big part in it. How I wish we lived closer and we could sit and drink beer, or whatever strikes our fancy that wouldn’t knock us old fucks out quickly, and talk. It has been so very many years since I’ve had someone in my life learned enough to engage me for that long. I’d bet we would find the sun coming up many times…lol Would it surprise you to know that truly the last time it happened was a VP of a biker club (gang to the fearful), whom held multiple master degrees, was a trophied big game hunter and was absolutely one of the most fascinating and thought-provoking people I’ve ever met. I wish I knew his name, but it has been nearly 30 years and his club name was “Doc.” Doc was awesome and if we saw each other at a party (wow, what parties), we both beamed with joy. And my then hub steamed with jealousy. Nothing worse than capturing a woman’s mind.
Hypocrisy and hatred turned me from the Church in my youth. Personal tragedy and circumstance turned me from God in my young adulthood.
So many things conspired to bring me back. For the very first time in my entire life I understand His Glory and regret the time I wasted living on the outside. Every day i think I grow closer to being done here. Too many statists and hate-filled war mongers for me. It seriously hurts my heart, and I know that I have few things they need from me.
@bb, that a misbeliever like you faults me, sends my heart and soul soaring. My God tells me that loving you could fix you, so, no matter how much I bother you, I, and God, still love you.
While watching The Bible yesterday, it occurs to me that you are very much like Paul (Saul) of Tarsus.
You would be out self-righteously beating and killing the likes of Araven, Stucky, and me, all while your God sacrifices to open your eyes. Whatever, that is your burden, not mine.
What is it with the constant masturbation comments bb? Your pussy cat bite you this time? If God didn’t want man to masturbate he wouldn’t have made it feel so damned good.
To condemn masturbation is to condemn God’s love and gifts. We don’t get many, but dammit, I completely believe that masturbation is one of them.

It’s like being 10 years old and discovering the word “penis” is in the dictionary. “Penis!!! Ohhh, ahh, look. Funny!” For most of us, by the time we turned 11, it was no longer funny. What would be funny is if the next version of Webster’s has a picture of you next to the word ‘penis’. At least it would be accurate.
3. You pollute this board daily. I have considered posting just once or twice a week … just to get away from you.
4. You are fast becoming a pariah here. Are you proud of that?
Thank you Stucky. You played a big part in it. How I wish we lived closer and we could sit and drink beer, or whatever strikes our fancy that wouldn’t knock us old fucks out quickly, and talk. It has been so very many years since I’ve had someone in my life learned enough to engage me for that long. I’d bet we would find the sun coming up many times…lol Would it surprise you to know that truly the last time it happened was a VP of a biker club (gang to the fearful), whom held multiple master degrees, was a trophied big game hunter and was absolutely one of the most fascinating and thought-provoking people I’ve ever met. I wish I knew his name, but it has been nearly 30 years and his club name was “Doc.” Doc was awesome and if we saw each other at a party (wow, what parties), we both beamed with joy. And my then hub steamed with jealousy. Nothing worse than capturing a woman’s mind.
Hypocrisy and hatred turned me from the Church in my youth. Personal tragedy and circumstance turned me from God in my young adulthood.
So many things conspired to bring me back. For the very first time in my entire life I understand His Glory and regret the time I wasted living on the outside. Every day i think I grow closer to being done here. Too many statists and hate-filled war mongers for me. It seriously hurts my heart, and I know that I have few things they need from me.
@bb, that a misbeliever like you faults me, sends my heart and soul soaring. My God tells me that loving you could fix you, so, no matter how much I bother you, I, and God, still love you.
While watching The Bible yesterday, it occurs to me that you are very much like Paul (Saul) of Tarsus.
You would be out self-righteously beating and killing the likes of Araven, Stucky, and me, all while your God sacrifices to open your eyes. Whatever, that is your burden, not mine.
What is it with the constant masturbation comments bb? Your pussy cat bite you this time? If God didn’t want man to masturbate he wouldn’t have made it feel so damned good.
To condemn masturbation is to condemn God’s love and gifts. We don’t get many, but dammit, I completely believe that masturbation is one of them.
You need a girlfriend and to get laid my man. Seriously.
In fact, I’m done for the day.
Fuck off, you maggot!
Stucky , your the one who talks about masturbation , pussy ,fat women ,farting and a whole host of other CREEPY subjects. You do it all the time.Like sucking another man’s dick.Remember that I kinda enjoy it.Makes me laugh but if it is creeping you out then I will stop.
TE ,worship what you will.Peace.
bb, you need to get a job, any job that will keep you occupied while your ticket problem is resolved. Occasional weird posts are tolerable but just imagine if Billy entered racist comments everyday ot I-S bitched everyday, it would wear pretty thin.
