yikes!!  And what do you know of syphilis, dear John?  Gotta wonder how Egyptians reading it translate what they are hearing...  gobbledygook?  (I wonder how that word translates.)

yes, so true. when we no longer recompense the guard goes vehemently. I see it many times. It is always a syphilitic experience, especially for an evangelist who only has two cents.

Hi Rev John, 

Nice to see you posting again. 

Now, I am off to the dictionary . . . 

I did not know that you are an evangelist!!!  This puts you on par with Billy Graham.   You need to now dye your beard grey and let it grow long and start speaking in King James english then you can have a weekly tv show and collect money.....become a millionaire. 

......now googling the syphilitic word,,,,  these people who use such high fallutin' words....

....okay looked up the words and the quotes still don't make a lot of sense...if you want to make it as an evangelist you need to use a simpler vocabulary....

Hi Serena,

Well, not to be overly literalistic about it but one who shares the good news is an evangelist.

I am not an "E" evangelist.

No thanks.

Another adventure in missing the point.

Grace and peace to you.

John

Or it shows what happens when you use one of those on-line translators...

It was you who missed my point again.   I was making fun of your quotes and the fact that the newspaper called you an evangelist since you are really the farthest away from Billy Graham that I can imagine even though you have the beard.  I don't think Billy has a beard but most evangelists do because it makes them look like Moses.  My point was in light of your newfound "career" that you should not use such confusing terminology.  Most pastors/evangelists have not even made it through high school so in order to blend in and be understood by your audience you should not talk about such complicated things.  I know that the paper either took your quote out of context or misquoted you so it really looks like you either don't know what you are talking about or whatever you are talking about is so high in the clouds a person needs a doctorate degree in theology to understand you.  Then again if you were an Evangelist we would not actually need to know what you were saying we would just come up for the altar call at the end of your sermon with the big words.   God would be speaking to us while you were talking anyway so no ned to actually listen, 

So I read this.  It was funny.  I am left wondering why someone would post their real first name and real last name on an Internet chat line?

Many people would and do post their real names.  ANd many people don't.

If anyone wants to know who I am it would take maybe 5 minutes of searching. The key is to know what else you put out there.  THe key is to be real and honest, not to hide my identity (such attempts are largely futile anyway).  At least that'show I see it, YMMV

What a good point!

And LOL John, I do hope you speak more clearly than that!

because they are honest and confident enough not to need some anonymous moniker to hide behind while they shoot out crap and bs.

it happens sometimes.  its wonderful to see people like that around.

Now take this newfound knowledge of translational errancy and apply it to your holy texts!
