Hey hey hey now. Kirk Cameron used to be an atheist. And he invented the beloved children's character, CrocoDuck!

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Satan is the god of the planet?

Can you back up with scripture that Satan by default is running the planet because I have never read that in the bible.

How about Ephesians 2:1-3 CEV) = "1 In the past you were dead because you sinned and fought against God. 2 You followed the ways of this world and obeyed the devil. He rules the world, and his spirit has power over everyone who doesn’t obey God. 3 Once we were also ruled by the selfish desires of our bodies and minds. We had made God angry, and we were going to be punished like everyone else."

Drich: Wait, God isn't running the planet anymore? He cut and run because we ate an apple or something?

Why the fuck are you worshipping him then? Hoping to suck up enough to him so he'll come back? Also I think you made this up.

That is the one of the weirdest "versions" of Christianity I have heard. Strange how he won't run the planet, but he drops in to help people find their car keys.
And if this is what he "revealed" to you, you should have kept looking for another religion.

Rob, I think Wyrd is explaining, not proselytizing.

Not that your arrows aren't sharp -- they're just aimed wrong.

Thinking

Hmmmm how could we possibly know who wrote 2 Timothy???

Maybe if we had some clue or some signature of some kind....

2Tim 1
Greeting
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ[a] by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

2 To Timothy, a beloved son:

Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Oh, but this would not be enough for you and a wiki page?
ROFLOL

Sorry sport if you want to challenge what is in the book itself your going to have to bring more than your personal self doubt about this epistles authorship.

You're right -- no one would ever dream of forging document, perhaps in order to skim ducats from a gullible audience in an era where there was no Internet fact-checking.

I mean, who would ever believe that a follower of Christ the Savior might lie?

Sure, I was aiming at Drich not wyrd, sorry I didn't make that very clear Smile
Did anyone believe me when I talked on the phone to God? If not, are you saying someone can lie when giving accounts?

Mine was also a first hand account, which makes it more credible than the second hand ones in the New Testament. Why are you so quick to dismiss me but believe what some nobbos said 2000 years ago?

Are you subjecting my testament to some sort of scrutiny? Why do that all of a sudden?
