You Want A Piece O' Me????????

Postby Floyd Smoots » Fri Feb 10, 2006 12:49 am

Many of you reading/writing blogginators here at R.I. have probably noticed that Old Grandpa Floyd has somewhat changed his opinions/views on certain subjects since his "Baptism By Wire".<br><br>However, I HOPE you have also noticed that there are some views from which I WILL NOT retreat. The most important of ALL of these is my belief that Jesus IS THE Christ, the sacrificial "Lamb" who came here to teach us, DIE for our sins, and then, be "Raised from the Dead", to ensure that ALL who will come to a belief in Him as Messiah, CAN obtain eternal life.<br><br>That said, I HOPE you will notice that when I post something that I think/believe politically, and then, am shown the error of my ways, by someone who can sincerely (Latin: Without Wax; look it up) make a case for my wrong thinking, I am more than willing to listen, and "shift my paradigm" (DAMN, I HATE those overused words, MEME & PARADIGM), to a slightly newer way of looking at "The Problem".<br><br>Sadly, I truly believe that we are in the "Endgame". Not the "Illumi-Misinformed-Fools" endgame, but God's. I really shouldn't say "sadly", because in the Christian worldview, it only heralds the soon return of our Creator to, in His own words in the Holy Bible, "Make all things new". One thing that many of you Bible-ignorant folk don't understand here is that, YES, the "Mis-illuminated-Ones" really, Really ARE doing their best to "bring on" the FINAL CONFRONTATION between Lucifer and Yahweh.<br><br>I've read it here many times on many threads. I couldn't agree more. They really, in the words of our U.S. (Useless?) Resident ARE trying to "Bring It On!!!". From a strictly fundamentalist Christian point of view, we understand WHY "They" are going for the Final Confrontation". As you should ALL know by now, "They" think they're going to WIN. THEY ARE NOT, but that's truly a matter of faith.<br><br>For those of you out there who subscribe to "Any Other Meme Of Reality", I truly have NO answers, nor, can I give you ANY other hope. It's just the way I'm "hardwired", so you can either agree with me or not. I can't even say that your choice doesn't matter, because, in my view of "Life, the Universe, and Everything", it DOES!!! I, in my faith in the Creator, and His words of warning, do not want anyone to suffer the fate promised in the Bible.<br><br>I almost cried for Hillary Rodham Clinton today. I believe her to be a very high order of illuminati witch. But, then, I thought hard and long about posts here about satanic ritual abuse. My unhappy conclusion was to think "What kind of chance would a child raised like that even HAVE to experience the true love of God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit, much less actually 'believe it', when they have been raised all their life to truly 'believe' that Lucifer is going to 'Stomp Yahweh' in the final battle at the 'end of days'???"<br><br>That, to me was a very sad, scary thought. I just thought I would share it here and see what you folks think.<br><br>Floyd de Preachinator<br><br>P.S. I really (consciously, at least) NEVER came here to R.I. to be a preacher, it's just that I feel that someone here NEEDS to "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus"........old Protestant hymn title<br> <p></p><i></i>

Well for what it's worth I believe firmly there was a man<br>named Jesus he tried to show those around him a better way<br>of being.<br><br>His teachings have been bastardized over time by those with<br>bad intent.<br><br>Organized religion is all about CONTROL social control<br><br>and God well as far as I can make out God is the Collective<br>Goodness inherent in all of us. As opposed to the evil that we are all capable of.<br><br>I normally don't reply to posts that concern religion<br>it's an intellectual dead end as it's all about Faith & the <br>unknowable but I'm down with Jesus & I liked your title.<br><br>" You Want A Piece O' Me?"<br>Cheers <br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://sensiblyeclectic.com/b2evolution/blogs/media/BushCorporateClown.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

Thanks for the thoughtful reply LibertyorDeath. But when I did my 4 years in the US Navy, '69-'73, WE used to say, "Give me Liberty, or give me Leave. The heck with that Death crap!!!". Really love the clown. Thanks again. <br><br>Ol' Floyd<br> <p></p><i></i>
