Dear, Brothers and Sisters I have listed this theme as a means of recieving teaching and edification on this subject. As Paul said when" I was amoung you I sought to know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified."
I would recommend you read "A Jesus Manifesto" byFrank Viola and Leonard Sweet. You can find it here:http://ajesusmanifesto.wordpress.com/

If I am wrong, I apologize but your first sentence sooooo reminded me of a couple of former personifications on here by the same person: Pollux/Procyon. (edit: I'm wrong three! procyon-SueMarie-pollux).She would ask nice questions like you did and then like a (pompous) wicked wolf in sheep's clothing pounce of the innocent sheep. But of course, if I'm wrong, I humbly apologize and wait eagerly to see how this thread turns out!God bless!

No Lisa, you've got it all wrong! Eld888 is a dear friend. We used to wear sackcloth and "Flee from the Wrath to Come!" Sandwich boards and prophesy against the heathen. She was Enoch and I was Elijah. Of course, she was officially a "he" and wore a fake beard which would sometimes fall off when we got blanket-tossed by irate and infidels, and would be used for fun and jest. We had a falling out when she decided she wanted to be Elijah. I wouldn't hear of it, so she came after me with a nine iron and chased me down the street. This was an especially odd spectacle to bystanders since we both happened to be wearing our sackcloth and "FLEE FROM THE WRATH TO COME" sandwich boards. The episode ended with 88 hiding in a bell tower surrounded by police snipers, but he escaped by disguising himself as a bush and moving furtively across the lawn.Righteous Indignation and Zeal for Truth sometimes create the impression that she is pompous, high-minded and unloving, but she is capable of displaying great compassion, like the time she saw a news report of famine in Eretria and couldn't finish a second helping of waffles. We haven't spoken in years but no doubt providence led pollux/SueMarie/procyon/88 to SI so we could be reconciled and the prophecies fulfilled
