[OT] Black and dirty and cleaning

[Mr. Man-wai Chang]

The whole associating numbers with some mythical crap is about as bad as women who insist on wear leggings as pants.

Black legging!?

I always wonder whether people who likes black wash black clothes and
pants. How could you know whether something black is dirty or not? The
same problem can be found in black dishes and cups (mainly in fast food
restaurants).

Absolutely horrifying and puzzling....

[Mr. Man-wai Chang]

You are being obnoxious again. Asking you if you programmed in
C is not falsely accusing you of anything. I was extending
you the hand of friendship.

You are challenging the faith of Christians, Islams and Muslims - The
Holy Trinity. :)

Walk away from Mr. Hodgin before Vatican and Mecca bring in assassins. :)

I don't know either. Wait a minute, let me adjust my aluminum

Ma'am, I'm not dumb. Nope. I'm a 45 year old mentally challenged person from Poland who has learned some l33t coding things from hanging out here over the years. They are so l33t that I now work as a laborer instead of being on welfare!

I only INTERCEPT strange messages.... :)

Why did you choose to become a Christian but not a Muslim or Islam? Or
even ISIS?

Why did you even choose a religion? Are you being forced into your
current position? :)

Well, it's not quite that cut and dried. There will be familial, social, and local pressures to get you to conform.

I'm reminded of an episode of "Young Sheldon," where he was examining all religions and talked with his "Mee-Maw's" friend who was Jewish;

SHELDON; Should I become Jewish?

FRIEND; Let me ask you, are you going to live in Texas your whole life?

SHELDON; Probably.

FRIEND; Then I advise you to remain Baptist.

ISIS is not a religion itself. It's a militant branch of Islam.

My family raised me Catholic, so I remained Catholic. ("Lapsed" Catholic right now, as I don't attend Mass. And look at that, no militant Catholic groups are coming out to behead me!) People have changed religions. Most notable being Sammy Davis Jr. changing to Judism and Cat Stevens changing to Islam.

Religions are used to tell lies, big lies! :)

[Mr. Man-wai Chang]

It requires a pursuit of the truth. If you seek the truth, God
knows you are doing this, and He Himself personally comes into
your life intervening on your behalf, sending angels to run inter-
ference for you, personally stepping in and changing things in
your life supernaturally (you suddenly get a new job, or have a
debt paid off or any other number of things that make you pretty
much say, "What just happened?" when you step back and examine
the changes in your life over the past few weeks / months).

.....
Just as Adam and Eve changed from their pre-sin state into a new
state where they tried to cover themselves with fig leaf aprons,
and hid from God when He came looking for them, we are restored
to a state where we do not hide from God, but rather seek Him,
and our thinking on pretty much everything changes because we
now have the spirit giving us input, not just our flesh.

No, I am not afraid of punishment. I rather talk to Jesus directly, if
and only if he's still around after the so-called resurrection.

One could always choose a different if not a rocky path to seek what you
called "truth". In the end, it's about choices, not traditions nor
superstition.

[Mr. Man-wai Chang]

The punishment God warns us about is to be cast into a lake of fire.
It is unending torment, a type of permanent jail for an eternal be-
ing, of which we (mankind) all are.

There are more horrible stories about hell, AND bad governments and
rogue nations.

The enemy teaches that path (that either you can do it yourself,
or that there are many ways to get to the same end path).
....
You'll see Him victorious in everything, and always teaching rightly
in everything as well. No deception. No harm. Nothing negative.
Only purity, holiness, uprightness, and light to counteract all
darkness everywhere.

Ha ha ha.... if both you and me are after the Light Side of the Force,
we shall walk along without actually seeing each other.

Onto our chosen paths. The game is afoot....

[Mr. Man-wai Chang]

I wanna hear that DIRECTLY from Jesus, not via the Bible, not via you.

Hi Man-wai,
That is possible. If you ever want to sincerely know, I will
tell you how.
...

Prove that you are the Jesus as described in the Holy Bible. I doubt
anyone know who Jesus is. I also doubt whether Jesus has an universal
passport to prove his identity.

Anyway, don't act, don't lie, don't bluff! :)

The Bible's big, there are a lot of stories in it. But I've certainly never heard of someone being killed by the person he was trying to apologize to.

Thanks. I don't remember such a story as well from newspaper columns I
read. BTW...

Needah -> Niddah
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niddah

Niddah (or nidah; Hebrew: נִדָּה), in Judaism, describes a woman during
menstruation, or a woman who has menstruated and not yet completed the
associated requirement of immersion in a mikveh (ritual bath).

Ha ha ha.... :)

[Mr. Man-wai Chang]

I was thinking. Since you two seem to enjoy talking to each other, perhaps you two should take this to some gay male forum.

No. It's not like that. We are just 2 boring mortals. :)

Not a single one of those 17 quotes had anything to do with acknowledging an error or apologizing for it! Most of them had to do with keeping your temper and not getting drawn into arguments.

Nothing about dying for apologizing either.

Well, we didn't hunt around looking for different religions. But we weren't exactly devout in our following.

I was raised Catholic. I was given the choice of Catholic (mom's
side) and Mormon (dad's side). I have been Orthodox since shortly
after leaving home. It is completely my choice. Christians choose
God. It is an invitation. Muslims "submit". Totally different issue.

My bet is you was forced to follow family tradition to become a
Catholic. There was never a free choice. Your parents had a secret deal
with their Church to make their children Catholics. If you didn't do so,
you would have been purged out of your family house, and would have had
no money spend.

Well, it's just my silly little conspiracy theory about why you are now
a Catholic. The same possibly applies to Mr. Rick C. Hodgin.

I am not Catholic by the way. They are fine folks, but I am just
not one of them anymore. Rick's heart is in the right place,
he just need to work on his venue and presentation.

You don't need any religion nor politics to see a perfect complete
world. The world is always what it is and it was.

My parents didn't raise me in any church- I was told I had to choose whatever I wanted.
When I was five a neighbor kid invited me to Sunday School. I went, and listened to the abbreviated version of Genesis (to tell me why I was going to Hell) and the New Testament (to tell me how to get out of it).
When I got home my mom asked me what I thought of it. I told her "I'm too old for fairy tales".
If anything I'm a sort of Fundamentalist Buddhist. I try not to let my attachments run my life, and follow the Golden Rule.
It's worked for me so far (I'm 66 now).
