Iz:Lighten up! I'da thunk that trailer trash (talk) woulda bin right up your flag wavin' alley.   You folks don't seem to mind doing hatchet jobs on fellow believers who are otherwise politically aligned. The charicatures you occasionally offer up are deplorable. I suppose it all depends who's oxe.....eh? ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 21, 2004 15:47 Subject: RE: Re: [TruthTalk] WHAT IS SIN?

In the Name of the Lord I call upon you to repent of your pride so that you will not be judged for it.     (Izzy)If I may translate: The parables are the “Gospel for Dummies” who don’t get it.  (Lance) 1. Are you self-identifying?   As I listen to some of you flag-waving nut cases I cannot help but notice what political bondage you are in.    biblicist/fundamentalist (read angry)   Even a smart mouth like myself doesn't appreciate ignorance from a self-professed 'mature' believer.   So does Clarence Thomas for starters. But, I suspect that high court considerations are beyond you backwoods, redneck conservative types.   I know that 'scope' is tough for you Limbaughites.   Iz:Be a good 'wifey' and, ask your husband. I think you said he had an education eh?   Iz:Go back to crocheting where you can do more good. Your poor brain's overloaded.   Jt:I don't expect for you to be able to understand this nor, your newfound friend, Iz.   Jt:What's this 'blood' fettish thing ya got goin on JT? No. You inhabit 'wrong city' on this issue. He is truly, completely one of us.     I Corinthians 1:   18   For the word of the cross is (35) foolishness to (36) those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is (37) the power of God. 19   For it is written,           "(38) I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE,           AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE." 20   (39) Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of (40) this age? Has not God (41) made foolish the wisdom of (42) the world? 21   For since in the wisdom of God (43) the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, (44) God was well-pleased through the (45) foolishness of the message preached to (46) save those who believe. 22   For indeed (47) Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom; 23   but we preach [3] (48) Christ crucified, (49) to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles (50) foolishness, 24   but to those who are (51) the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ (52) the power of God and (53) the wisdom of God. 25   Because the (54) foolishness of God is wiser than men, and (55) the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26   For consider your (56) calling, brethren, that there were (57) not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; 27   but (58) God has chosen the foolish things of (59) the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of (60) the world to shame the things which are strong, 28   and the base things of (61) the world and the despised God has chosen, (62) the things that are not, so that He may (63) nullify the things that are, 29   so that (64) no man may boast before God. 30   But by His doing you are in (65) Christ Jesus, who became to us (66) wisdom from God, and (67) righteousness and (68) sanctification, and (69) redemption, 31   so that, just as it is written, "(70) LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."
