Re: [TruthTalk] Ad Hom Farce

[Lance Muir]

Did you graduate from ELEMENTARY SCHOOL? Although there are and, ought to be boundaries concerning decorum on TT; I'm more for accepting folks as you find 'em. I'd guess, Kevin, that you spoke in the schoolyard like you write on TT. S'OK with me. So, grab your bullhorn and get back to shouting at the Mormons. It's little wonder that you don't have their 'ear'!  ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Deegan To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: February 05, 2005 07:27 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Ad Hom Farce 1 Kings 18:27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.   The demon possed Prophets of Baal disagreed strongly, their response seems like some of these modern day Muslims. They got their feelings hurt. And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. Where is it in the Bible that God corrected Elijah? And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. Psalm 2 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. The bible describes Woe after Woe unto those that have spoken lies against God, for He is not a man Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.   Lance Muir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Mormons, Shmormons!
