Jesus decided Im just pointing it out that the word today means something completely different than it did when Jesus spoke about it.

Lmao. Jesus really died and made you the ultimate decider. That's fucking awesome Drich. Priceless.

You're doing it again.

Pretty funny the juxtaposition . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Thought your quote and reply came from another thread.

I see that I am mistaken, which means I am doing it again . . .

What you posted after what I posted was exceptionally weird, even for AF

I see Vorlon has been receiving some genuine messages Tongue

All other standard gods seem silent as usual. Does anyone else want to claim they have a personal relationship with their deity, and explain how they meet the criteria if so? Or else explain how a relationship not meeting those criteria qualifies as meaningful in any way?

Or better yet, I decided along time ago to actually research context and cultural meaning to words, because growing up in a house where more than one language is spoken I quickly understood that translating one text from one language and culture to another did not always mean I in the English should automatically assume that my understanding of a given word was the only/primary one. that is was the intention of the speaker that gave a word it's meaning and not the translation/translator nor my understanding of the words being translated.

Or your way works too. Despite what I have actually said God indeed made me the 'ultimate decider.'

The forum PTB already sanctioned the Gwynnite.  Angry
