My last auto claim was nearly 20 years ago now and I've never made a homeowners claim. It's easy to see why insurance companies would raise premiums and ultimately decline to offer coverage to a person who made a lot of claims, but odd that your agent should encourage you to make claims that...

Yes you have, you keep saying that when Jesus refers to my power he really means his power. It just leaves me wondering why he didn't refer to his power in the first place.

So when Jesus refers to my powers he's not actually referring to my powers at all? Curious. I remember reading somewhere else about God not being the author of confusion. Maybe God forgot what he really wanted to say, it's easily done. As I get older I sometimes forget things, and God is a lot...

Seriously, on pretty much any site, if a site administrator tells you to knock it off then it's a good idea to, you know, knock it off. If you don't obey reasonable instructions it's a good way to get yourself banned. If you really want to post large exerpts you can always post a link.

Oh yes. Among the very few clean jokes offered by a particularly crude (and very overweight) British comedian is the line that "I'm on a diet. Well, actually I'm on two diets. I tried one, there wasn't enough food."

Ah yes, we're back to the endless assertion that it was dictated by Jesus which is based on, well, a few people saying it is. It sounds like the profits prophets of the various kooky groups in the silly fringes of the pentecostal movements who declare each other to be prophets and figure that's...

Bad Lamb. Naughty Lamb. Obviously your supernatural powers are lacking. Maybe they got buried under the shifting sands or something, you never know.

Maybe it was from something you said. It seems to shift like the sands, so it's hardly surprising the only conclusions we can draw from it are somewhat vague.

You can never repeat the words of the profits prophets too many times, it would appear.

So it seems we conclude from these stunningly insightful "prophetic words" that the disciples of Jesus might have supernatural powers or they might not, and if they do they might belong to the disciple or they might belong to Jesus, but it's not clear unless you ask and then the answer shifts to...

If I recall it uses canned potatoes, the little ones that don't overpower the soup. It has bacon bits in it, and heavy cream (I think my wife swaps it for half-and-half, to at least slightly cut down on the fat in it). The standard recipe calls for kale but that has a nasty tendency to go...

My wife makes a few soups I like. The one we've been eating lately is chicken tortellini (sp?). She also does a potato and sausage soup, a chicken orzo soup and a cheeseburger soup. We like the cheeseburger soup a lot but there's a lot of dietary junk in that so we don't eat it very often...

I never said she wasn't, I simply said we can't be certain. You're insisting on the certainty that she was, I'm saying we don't know. I give no credence to her one way or the other. There is a big difference.

I brought up something that someone claiming to speak for Jesus said on that date. Humility is listed as a fruit of the spirit in Galatians so it's not as if we need modern day prophets, genuine or fake, to know that humility is one way we might distinguish true from fake messengers. Endlessly...

I brought up something that someone claiming to speak for Jesus confirmed to be true.

Posting something that I happen to at least partly agree with doesn't confirm that it was spoken by God as directly as you claim.

I don't know that I'd say none of them but as soon as someone speaks very forcefully in terms of "God told me that...", as opposed to something presented with more humility such as "I think God might be saying that...." I'd be inclined to immediately suspect they are making it up. Limited...

I'm really struggling to take you seriously at this point. There are only so many times someone can present an absurd argument before any sense of purpose in engaging with them goes away and, to be honest, I see no point continuing to engage with someone whose argument shifts like the sands.

Except that you have, repeatedly, when Mary remarked that "I am a virgin" and you insist that the present tense refers to the present and the indefinite future. You've got some more speculation going on there. If sex wasn't meant to be enjoyed, why is it enjoyable? If it's purely to produce...

On what basis do you believe that sex between husband and wife is purely to create children? Do you believe that a husband and wife who are unable to bear children should refrain from sex? If so, perhaps you could cite some Scripture to support your assertion. It's not crass to point out that...
