Dietrich Bonhoeffer talks about discipleship as othersidedness. Like the turn twin towers of the former World Trade Center, it is a location. Most of you have never seen the actual towers or been to New York. For you it is just a spot on the map, a smoky image, an idea formed merely on hearsay. For those who inhabited them there are facts only they will know and those whose perceived knowledge having no experience will have no basis with which to relate. I have seen some of you call this location Christian fanaticism, cultish, or delusional. I can only claim you right. For having no experience or having ever been transported beyond your hearsay idealism no other response is possible. Don’t expect though that your unfactual musings will be persuasive to those whose feet have walked beyond your imagination. Only those who hear the words “follow me” know of the journey. Those who refuse the offer have their own map to follow. But I will let you in on a little joke; those who have been to New York can very quickly tell who has not. Those who have not have no way to verify if the New Yorker is a fact or a fraud. For my fellow New Yorkers, it might be prophetic the Giants lost.
Dear fruit inspector: I see you know one verse but do you know the Christ? Let me test your skill if I may. David bedded another man’s wife then had him murdered. She bore him two children, one killed by God, one King Solomon. There is his fruit, give us your judgment on the man. Share with us that we may all partake of you wisdom.

Kurt,
Well said....I couldnt have put it better myself. Its funny you used the analogy of people who have been to New York and those who havnt.....My sister moved there years back and now she knows how to get around there blindfolded. When she meets someone else that lived in NYC its like their speaking another language. Everyone else in the room have no idea what they are talking about.....we can only say "oh yeah, i heard about that place" or "i think i saw that on tv". But she says theres no mistaking who spent some time there and who is faking it.
Theres a lot of fakes on this site who have had a little exposure to the Bible and they think they can fool the rest of us by using the Bible to make a very weak point. It aint gonna work. #1 You need the Holy Spirit to interpret and reveal the scriptures to you #2 You need to spend time with the Holy Spirit so HE can teach you the scriptures. #3 You need to learn by experience......G-d aint gonna invest anything in anybody without putting you thru the test. I once heard a man of God say: "The man with an experience is never at the mercy of the man with a theory".
My wish is that every person on this blog would come to know my Saviour...Yeshua (Jesus). But i also understand that i have to learn how to identify the wolves in sheeps clothing.
have at it said....

i cant help but say what a friend sent to me after I sent him a copy of my last post on the previous blog. he did a little modification on the little figure that I created above.
he composed the following figure to represent the 'state' that he is in when he wakes up next to his girlfriend in the morning.
here it is.....similar to the stick figure above with a 'slight' difference.....

http://www.prisonplanet.com/humor.html
Get more great humor from this site!
There all a "must" see. Someone might just wake up?????????????
TACO anyone?
The Guy Cheney shot must have been at a little more than point blank range for a 28 gauge to penetrate through the coat and chest cavity.
30 yards away they would have used tweezers to pluck out the pellets.
Somebody is lying! As usual!
bullshit W!
so you don't see change idiot?
quayle hundting???
nah...just some low level illiminati being illiminated....
this will start happening faster and faster as tracks must be covered...
one thing when you sell your soul to the devil, when hes done with you, he sells (or rats) you out to protect himself (or as they say in Tesas, hisself)and those above him in food chian) no exceptons....
but, lucky us, we still have this blog to whale on...
yeahrihton...whassamatter, din your mom love you when you was a kid? I know, it must be tough not to have been loved when you was a child.
and 1 other thing...
if the guy dies from an hunting accident, does this now become murder or manslaughter?
Ans. depens on who does the murder. for you and me, forget about it! C'ya. 10-20 in a hotel with bubba, or slim, or ......
and from th urban survival site:
Public Goes Ballistic
No doubt about it, a few people are still armed with a few brain cells, despite the constant dumbing down efforts of mainstream media, the administration, and those who would be rulers of their own brand of new world order. Take for example Dick Cheney's War on Quail. Our Houston Bureau offers this:
Why does anyone take anything the "Administration" says as truth? One would think with all the lies over Iraq and 9/11, that anything said about a hunting accident would immediately be suspicious.
#7 birdshot, .28 gau., at 30 yards does not penetrate to the heart. At most, one would get a serious rash and perhaps some minor bleeding.
Furthermore, the tight pattern on the head and neck of Whittington are not indicative of distance with shot. Even with no choke at all, the pattern should have been widely disbursed over Whiitington's left side at 30 yards.
Even 0-0 buck, .12 gau., at 30 yards with medium choke would not do life-threatening harm to a human. A quick trip to any shooting range to see how close shotgun targets are will tell any thinking person what they need to know.
It does seem odd - and at variance with reports - to hear that the shooting victim has shot lodged near his heart and that he's still in the hospital. But something's out of kilter in the reports and the public's not liking it one bit.
10-20 in a hotel with bubba, or slim, or ...... Kurt or Scott?

McCanney;
February 16, 2006 posting ... join me tonight as i talk about the new electrical storm raging on Saturn (just announced by NASA) and the electrical discharging of the solar capacitor in the region near saturn ... and also the importance of understanding how NASA was secretly placed under CIA control a number of years ago under the tutelage of Dan Golden ... former NASA chief ... and how NASA computers were ready to go after 911 to track US citizens and monitor air line flights (seems they did not monitor the flights of the Bin Laden family as they were whisked out of the country by dedicated air line flights under the guidance of the Bush clan while all airline flights were grounded) ... at any rate ... regarding NASA computers ... you do not just take scientific computing facilities designed to calculate orbits and process scientific data ... and all of a sudden have them tracking airline passengers ... SOMEONE HAD PRIOR KNOWLEDGE AND HAD NASA COMPUTERS PROGRAMMED IN ADVANCE OF 911 ... what else has NASA been up to ??? ... like digging extensive cave systems (not exactly an outer space project) ... the main topic will deal with the electrical nature of life on earth ... are we coupled electrically to the cosmos ??? ... listen tonight for some interesting commentary and i promise not to make any dick cheney jokes ... jim mccanney
