@fmf saidI don't know this one.
What about the Georgia Guide Stones? What about the Georgia Guide Stones?

@philokalia saidSend me information about it in a PM.
I would be interested in seeing you in a writing competition, FMF.
Would you agree to do one?
Isn't there some prose writing contest here that Ghost has won?

@philokalia saidI was pointing out to you that in fact the Orthodox Church isn’t “one”, it’s many.
But yeah, that's the one.
@philokalia saidYou mustn't have read any of the things I posted dissecting your endorsement of Roman1009 as "the best poster" on the Spirituality Forum. It was pre-emptively justified then.
It's a call to justify your statement actually.

@divegeester saidAw, b ut you see, we actually believe in one catholic, holy, and apostolic Church.
I was pointing out to you that in fact the Orthodox Church isn’t “one”, it’s many.
From the Nicene creed:
In one holy catholic and apostolic Church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
We are all in communion with one another. So, we are all part of this holy catholic and apostolic church.
@philokalia saidI think it is a scripturally unsubstantiated, pie-in-the-sky, demons-on-my-bedposts, music-for-the-masses, Jazz-handed, distract-me-from-the-real-issues pile of low-grade populistic religious hokum.
What do you think about one world religion?

@philokalia saidYou must of course soothe your inward need for a sense of special belonging with any self delusion you heart will tolerate,

@philokalia saidYes I will try to eek out an moral existence based on your mistakes.
I am a deluded person in many ways, but I recommend that we all focus on our own sins! Do not let the sins of others distract you from your own shortcomings. I have done that too much.

@divegeester saidAnother evasive reply.
you're a what....
Heretic?
You claim to be a Christian, but I haven't seen a single positive contribution by you yet relative to the discussion about end time events.
Instead, you make comments and remarks indistinguishable from that of an atheist. Yours and FMF's contributions sound virtually the same, except yours tend to be more sarcastic and skeptical than his.
So I thought of this; can you give a positive relevant reply to these verses?
Luke 1:33
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Revelation 22:3-5
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
Do you not agree that there's an end game and that all events relative to human experience are leading to a conclusion?
@secondson saidI can't recall saying anything about the religious belief side of this topic - sticking instead to the geopolitical side - whereas I can't recall divegeester deviating much from the religious belief aspect.
Instead, you make comments and remarks indistinguishable from that of an atheist. Yours and FMF's contributions sound virtually the same, except yours tend to be more sarcastic and skeptical than his.
If you cannot discern that difference between our contributions and you think they have been "virtually the same", it makes you seem odd. Perhaps you haven't been reading the posts?
divegeester believes that the Book of Revelation is divinely inspired scripture whereas I don't believe it is. It seems strange that you cannot recognize these contrasting stances and claim to find them "indistinguishable".
@philokalia saidAll you have to do is talk to Raj then.

@secondson saidIt's not evasive, how is my reply evasive. I apologise for implying you're a bit thick, but I do sometimes wonder about your ability to comprehend certain words and word strings.
Another evasive reply.
You said "if you have to ask..."
And I'm asking in reply "what..? I'm a heretic?" I'm replying directly specifically in response to your silly little comment and not being "evasive" at all.
