You posted a serious accusation: “Tirib attacked my wife.”

Tirib posted the whole “pedophile” bit to illustrate how seriously he takes your accusation. You know that, you’re an intelligent dude.

You should quote a couple of posts where Tirib attacks your wife, but of course, he’s edited all that out… hmm.

Now he’s saying you treat her like a whore, and once again, that’s a statement of YOUR conduct, not an attack on your wife. You know that too.

[/quote]

I clarified that to include an oblique or indirect attack. You know that, you’re an intelligent dude.

And since I take what he said seriously should I now follow his example and suggest Sam is a mass murderer who has the bodies of dozens of innocent people buried beneath his basement floor?

I said he MAY have edited them. My main point is I didn’t, and won’t, go looking for them. I have other things to do. Two long time posters have backed me up. You, Johnny-come-lately, the FNG, would prove prudent by steering clear of matters where you can’t help but be ignorant. You know that too.

It’s an indirect attack on my wife. If I treat her like a whore then maybe she is one is the implication he gives and the inference that a reasonable man would make. You know that too.

It’s not an indirect attack on your wife if you accept that a guy like Tirib sees you as her head, thus fully responsible for what goes on in your marriage. It’s so obvious where he is coming from that even a heathen like myself can see it.

Calling him a mass murderer is on par with calling him a liar in his eyes, and the point still remains that you haven’t quoted any text yet man. You can’t be bothered to go look (like I did), but you CAN be bothered to keep arguing about this huh??? Even with Benjamin-come-lately here. Whose eyes are fresh and entirely impartial, I might add. Remember, I’m the God hating pagan.

whore: a woman who engages in promiscuous sexual intercourse, usually for money; prostitute; harlot; strumpet.

Yes, but the implication was that you treat her like one of those women, not that she IS in fact a prostitute. If she engages in promiscuous sexual intercourse with your permission, then that’s YOUR fault. I don’t agree with any of that, but let’s at least be honest about what the man is SAYING, although nobody likes him apparently. lol

I don’t know what to do with you Ben. It’s almost impossible that someone without the Spirit of the Lord could get this as crystal clearly as you do. Ephesians 5 also says starting with verse 22 right before where I quoted earlier: [quote]22-Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23-For the husband IS the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. 24-But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything. [/quote]Emphasis mine. I was gonna leave this go a little while so he could hang himself some more , but since you so chimed in here with such clear insight I’ll slip in a little more now. Paul does NOT say “husbands, be the head of your wives” or “wive’s let your husbands be the head”. No, he says the husband IS the head. Whether he is leading her in prayer and praise or leading her into idolatry, adultery and whoredeom he IS leading her. HE is the representative head of that home before God.

Push says “I DIDN’T LEAD HER ANYWHERE” and betrays yet again his abysmal understanding of anything in the bible except what he gets from this: http://www.amazon.com/Divine-Sex-Liberating-Religious-Tradition/dp/1553954009 book. I’ve seen it all over the place. He doesn’t know anything substantial about the bible, but he is a thoroughgoing scholar of that paperback book because he thinks it gives justification for his anti-Christian headship over his family and godless libertine attitudes toward sex. Check that book out. Push is a pornographic perverted parrot of Philo Thelos though he lied and denied to me that he learned all this pseudo scholarship from him. He n Brother Chen can go a for awhile.

I’m becoming a fan Ben, in spite of myself =) Crystal clear dude, really. Calling me a pedophile would have been no different than accusing me of attacking his woman because marriage to me truly IS the earthly image of Christ and His church. His marriage to her has been one long attack according to the Word of God whether she understands that or not. Oh yeah.

May the God who executed the most horrific judgements imaginable upon His unfaithful people Israel deal with me in His full wrath if I do lie in stating that I have never EVER edited one single character from any post of mine with Push and my missionary friend and several other members of my blessed church are fully aware of the whole content of this thread right down to the “little boy loving pedophile” thing.

One very godly kid (well 24, kid to me, been saved and faithful since he was 7 years old) who has an usual name I won’t mention (black from the Caribbean) put both hands over his mouth and started crackin up when I showed him. “oh man, he climbed those stairs, put the noose around his neck and jumped right off LOL!!!”.

Which of course is not the primary point which I reminded him of. It was just a tactic. I’ll have a comment for Mod Jumpin Jack pretty soon too.

fuck me some of you guys have some serious time on your hands…

And tomorrow I will start a diet that requires very little time for cooking! I hope then to have time to underline my posts too :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT: No fair, he removed the lines.

And oh yes, the Moderator. The one who threw me completely off when it came to Tiribulus’ intentions…

May I ask why you changed the post into something more acceptable, instead of removing the whole thing and leaving a note that you had done so, and why?

You start editing words in peoples post like that, you are on a very slippery slope.

If women can be the sons of God I can be (and am) the bride of Christ. Lotsa cool theology in there. [quote]Quick Ben wrote:

Come on Ben. This will be your finale. You go first (if you want to) tell us why.

You’re going to have to take it home on your own, I’m not going to mull over that one :slight_smile:

I know this is a in-depth discussion and I am just an outsider, but there are a couple scriptures that come to mind (given that we are quoting the Bible at this particular time)

Matt 7:6

“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”

Gal 6:7

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.”

Rom 12:3

“For through the undeserved kindness given to me I tell everyone there among you not to think more of himself than it is necessary to think; but to think so as to have a sound mind, each one as God has distributed to him a measure of faith.”

[/quote]

“Judas…went and hanged himself” (Matthew 27:5).

“Go and do likewise” (Luke 10:37).

Lesson for any would be Bible expositor: study (and quote) the Bible in context.
[/quote]

Not sure why this is out of context. What context was I misapplying? I don’t believe I gave a context.

You are competing for top spot fer sher. (Squatting Bear is up there too) You’ll have to wait on this though. Really busy at work. It was starin me right in the face as I was asking God to guide me and to never again let me forget who’s the glory always is. He is good, all the time.

I’m waiting for a reply from that Moderator. Depending on what he says, I may or may not ever post here again (this breaks everybodys heart, I’m sure). I will also be bringing back the $252345 tub of Superfood I bought today. lol

You don’t sneak into people’s posts and edit them with nary an explanation, IMO.

Edited. Unlike every other internet board in existence, that would have DELETED the offending post, and left a warning to the offending party. I do hope you are able to see the difference… you have no business putting words in people’s mouths.

If you wish to discuss moderation policies, send me a PM.

However, to briefly address your last comment, it quite literally is my business to make sure that all posts appearing on the forum adhere to the rules. This includes occasionally editing or deleting posts as necessary. If you disagree with this policy, which has been in effect for a number of years, you’re under no obligation to continue participating.

But again, any further questions about moderation policies need to be handled via PM.
