I'm a fan of the 5th one :)

King James would be happy .....  

These are hilarious!

"I don’t think necessarily because we like wrestling or hockey on TV that we aren’t bible-goers." (Wait…what?)

I'm almost tempted to start a Twitter account just to fokkow this... 

If you didn't have to interpret alien words; you wouldn't have to think about it ... which would suit those that did earlier redactions ... and thus the present condition of mind: "what d'elle?"

 

And the enigma goes on for few (defined el-ite) wished to really know how this appears from the other side. Thus love of innocence breeds ignorance and the love of not knowing ... good so the people down here can't see what's going to become of their avarice.

 

Just ask anyone in high places of power who's to blame for anything? Is this reverse thinking like Jesus encrypted in the minds of 1600 scribes ... anachronism ... an event taken out of context of time! Of course this might be improv ... if innocence is dark will that be bloodied with events forcoming? The fires will rage ... as humour to those outside the system as an alien attitude in former languages ... that have evolved over time regardless of those fixated by certain spots on the grid ...

 

Something has been jack-rabi'dead ... deranged intellect? Sort of like ghost riders in the skye ... many dry gulches to whet with rhettoric about mentaphors ... even though they hate words they love odd myths about sects and androgynous behaviour ... conjugate disarray, or "misabigulation" that is defined as RIFF!

 

Don't goth Eire if you don't wish to propigate innocence and ignorance that you will have great difficulty getting through to with tales beyond the secular ... luv'n th'aught and other intangeables ... hard to mention in much of the environmnet we live in that favours ignorance ... things we're not supposed to know ... in the support of battle and chaos ... the other kind of stir ... separates the essentials of the greater mind ... until you're out-of-it ...

 

Some say certain toad's tools assist, and a vegetable concoction from South America ... even alcohol bi times in excess! Pink elephants anybody ...

Many do believ the Kings James version is the original. There is a story of a Consevrative running for parliment in NS just after the official languages act was adopted, which forced packaging on consumer goods to be bilingual. .  At debates, he would denounce putting French on Corn Flakes boxes, and than he would say.  Since  English was good enough for Jesus, it should be good enough for evryone.

 

This reminds me of the old Art Linklater show called , "Kids say the Darndest Things".  We all laughed.

 

I'm thinking a new show called, "Bible Students say the Darndest things", right up there with " Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader".

 

Seriously though, here on Wondercafe, I've learned alot from others and sometimes we all have to expose our ignorance in order to learn more.

Ah such daemons in the learning curve ... not a straight line in the san after all ...

Hi Chansen , Did you not understand that we christians must learn the way. I believe when my life in the flesh is done. I will still have another thousand years of training.But you could not possibly understand , how much the young or new Christain can teach. There view of GOD is clear, with out the hangovers of false teaching.They live on the moutains, for the first few years. We older Christains some times, spent far to much time in the valley. I hope your day goes well . airclean33

These ones can't. One of them thinks the original bible was in Hebrew, fer chrissakes. They don't have a farking clue what they're talking about. They're just spouting nonsense, which is about the only "biblical" thing about them.

 

 

Interestingly, you've both found enough sand to bury your heads in it.

 

 

The Jews call their OT the Bible also, written in .... ?

Are you really going to try to score a point by being pedantic?

 

Facts are not just the property of those claiming religion is comprised of myth.

I think there's a new hymn in the one about Jesus writing the Bible.

 

In a room far away

stood an old rugged desk

Where our Saviour did struggle with Word...

Hi Chansen,

 

Thanks for pointing this out.  It is hilarious!

 

 

I feel like that student or someone who thinks like them has participated in threads here at WonderCafe.ca.

 

 

I'm so set in my position that I opted for amillennial siding rather than brick. :)

 

Grace and peace to you.

John

laughter is good for the soul :3

As a gutte whine is good for de bel-lie!

 

Then who dah elle knows that King James III thought that Hebrew was a devilish language ... and so the sat-ire goes, as abstract history telling us how things are told not quite the way they are ... sort of like disambiguity, or RIFF that puts things to a funny harm-oni ... so's I can spit it out in a different order. Tickles the innards of the greatere powers ...

 

History of Christianity was thus put in a state of disorder, by one track types without a sense of androgynous behaviour ... putting all-that-is together as a wild enigma?

 

Wouldn't such humour just eat yah rite up ... or is that a quantum downer?

Must have been another assignment due recently, because there was a rush of good ones yesterday:

 

 

Literal is a mental device conjured up to confuse the spirits residing therein ...

 

The Shadow of a word? Research that one  ..."shadow" leads to sciophobia fear of open spaces ... why psyche is closed dimension ... hard to get to ... ham Eire on that a bit!

Shudders.....that these comments are coming from supposed university students.....

This is the kinda stuff I used to get from grade 9 English papers....

To be fair, they're coming from students who take bible studies.

Chansen me boy . We all must grow and learn. A great man , once said to me. Well man is learning, he is like fruit on a tree, he is growing. But don't ever think you know it all. For then you are ripe.You know what happents to ripe fruit, it rots. So keep learning.airclean33

Right, and don't stop at the bible. Keep learning. There is so much more than the bible out there.

At which post-secondary institution?

 

There are different standards at different schools. 

Hi MC jae,

 

 

If that were revealed then the person passing on the information could be disciplined.  So the professor in question is maintaining anonymity.

 

 

While true there is nothing to suggest that the comments come from senior level students at the end of their formal education rather than, for example, students just beginning their formal education.

 

Which means these quotes may not be from the top of their class (and I suspect that they aren't).  It may be from students who have yet to have had any formal education with respect to the study of scripture.

 

If the quotes are from students having had four years of training in Biblical studies then the standards for admission are pretty low and the expectations of learning not much higher.

 

If the quotes are from students taking an introductory course after a typical Sunday School Biblical education then they seem pretty typical.

 

One might also want to consider that while they are quotes from Biblical Studies students it may be an elective and some may take it thinking how hard could it possibly be.

 

If my wife started a blog of stupid stuff student teachers say (especially in the classes teaching about Special Needs) then jaws would drop and respect for the teaching profession would dip somewhat.

 

I suspect every discipline has some less than stellar students start with high ideals only to have reality whack them upside the head.

 

Grace and peace to you.

John

 

I'm guessing that's probably the case. It's still funny, and I agree that it seems rather typical. Based on the quotes, these are believing Christians of college age. Just look at the number of times Witch corrects people on WC about the contents of the bible. Hell, even I get to set Christians straight here on occasion.

 

What I think this demonstrates, is how eager people are to believe things they simply know nothing about. It also reinforces the infamous Pew study that said Christians know less about religion than atheists and members of other faiths.

 

But mostly, it's just damn funny.

 

 

Yes Rev John, I agree, and I believe that those standards are important. That's a reason why I believe attending a school with proper accreditation is important. I'm very thankful that the university I attend has been accredited by the ABHE and the ATS. 

 

 

Yes, I agree.

 

 

No doubt. I suppose that such a list could be made up of the stupid stuff that any people group say since, you know, people tend to say stupid stuff from time to time.

 

 

Yes, true, Rev John, true.

Once in high school we had a geography teacher who was rather full of himself and frequently told us how ignorant we were.  We decided to play along.  On a mid-term test - that wouldn't affect our final grade a group of us gave our answers.

 

Which river runs through the city of Rome?  

We looked out the classroom window and wrote down "The Nashwaak". 

 

Where would you find New Zealand?  

Zealand is a village about fifteen miles north of Fredericton.  I don't know how new it is. 

 

etc.

 

We found out later that he read our answers in the staff room to illustrate just how backward andd ignorant we were.

 

You see Seeler it is all perspective ...

 

If you believe other people are stupid ... they fill the bill ... or is that wiles? Humble people will try anything to settle the emotional type  ... even be in hell to satisfy fundies that say that's where we're goan ... fiery spirits result among the records, jounals and logs ... as time is recorded in rings ... well-çhared ...

 

They dan's like Dan in the san and aches of the pits ... often playing with the word to give mind altering myths ...

Myths are energetic things like thoughts whereas emotions are energy deficient even negative ... causing void of thought ...

 

Ever heard of the powers of myth ... I think it is an ancient wisdom ... so people wouldn't think it was new ... you know how old farts are about change!

 

Caused an expression: negative thinking when all the person could think of was bed and a good rest ... drifting into that other dimension?

 

there's a bit where the professor writes "Most of my students are very bright. A few always provide a lot of material."

No...tell me about it. When you understand myths tell me what you know about Thoth. Thoughts, emotions, myths...can all be controlled...and generally are there when needed. IMO.

Old pharts are like Æsir .. the god of stub born ... can bite you on the butte tho' ... camels have the same attitute, once known as a bloody awful men by western Europeans wandering without knowledge of eastern wilderness areas ...

 

Such is ruagh when they meet, like spat in the eye they "R"! God' sleight of displacement of humility? Then there is the alter ... the other side of the myth ... something a mortal couldn't believe ...

 

Well, according to Thoth, one can be alive and dead at the same time. Actually, Thoth, ancient Egyptian scribe of the gods and of transcendence, who was later identified by the hellenistic Greeks with their demi god Hermes, thought this a desirable state to be. Zen Buddhism, which evolved half a world away, echoed the same sentiment:

 

While alive, be a dead man

—Thouroughly dead—

And act as you will,

And all is well.

 

-ancient Zen proverb

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, kids say the darnest things, as Art Linklater found out and exploited.

 

Excerpt from an elementary school essay:

 

"Venice was built on water, ruled by dogs, and became the most powerful Italian city."

 

How about this gem:

"El Nino is spanish.  It is the spanish word for child.  Like all things spanish, it is dangerous.  It kills people and burns down trees.  The child is more than a child.  It really isn't a child at all.  It is a storm.  A deadly storm that kills people and burns down trees."

Arm...

While alive does a mortal amn contain a somnolent mind?

 

Osh-ite ... I forgot many people do not believe in the existence of mind, or that it resembles soul. Louis Armstrong is said to have stated (in Half-blood Blues) that if you have to ask about soul ... you don't got one (or it rests). Such is a think to be knocked on, or about ... like a tinpan in the allie ...

 

Now think of the hybrid of spatial attitudes (humours) and abstract thought ... something that's partly missing? If you observe from outside the system (Heiseinburg) much is noted where you can't see nothing from inside psyche ... screws up providence into a heightened state, the cloud ensues ...

 

Is that Eire or what ... just Harry in England putting down his wives as Hermes ... froerunner to Hermeunetics? This follows the exegetes as grand larceny on errors from the back side ... N'osh-ite ... justa pas'n ole ph' ergos ... le gassy?

 

Has to be said in depth so the sublimity will throw the overly emotional off the t'REX ... psi-chi consumes everything and declares Love to be nut'n that mortals will make something of ... without doubt that they have Eire ... or hart burned as a deire thing ... close to Charles Lamb's Burnt Pig! Would you be irritated too if you were told you weren't existant as a myth or metaphor ... a wild's retch? Dog mass breakfast ... as un dogged ... but you have to read between the lines ... 2 weals turning the celestial miller ...
