Sorry, I don't bend when it comes to the word of God, I'd trust you'd be the same as a Christian.
If the basic message is kept the same then it doesn't matter how it's expressed so long as it reaches people in an understandable way, tugs' way accomplished this.

Is your identity as a Christian also to give a bad image to Christians to the people on this forum and scare them away from christianity for good? Because that's what you're accomplishing through your posts. Your bible knowledge is impressive and your ministry methods may have worked wherever you did your service but if that's your aim here, you're using the wrong methods.

If he is joking, then why can't I be serious about it, superted? I'm not ashamed of Christ, as far as I see it, if he is joking, I might just get the oppertunity to correct him and give a much deeper insight of the subject.
It seems to me that he knows enough of the story to be able to have summarised it like that.

Out of all the members on this forum, you're the only one to piss me off (at least recently). And stop pretending you're at some uber level in Christ, we're all at the same level.

So these guys and my buddy J went to this place called gadara.
So they went there and there was this psychopath living in this graveyard.
This guy was ripped and violent and nobody could tell him nothing, but as soon as J shows up he all suddenly gave up and was all scared and stuff.
So J asks him his name and he said "we are legion".
My buddy J says "You guys gotta come out of that man"
Then this legion, like a spoilt kid, whines and asks please to go live in a bunch of pigs. Yeah, whatever, they're just pigs, what are they gonna do.
so these pigs all suddenly go drown themselves in a lake, and this guy is suddenly normal.
Yeah, J got kicked outta town for that, i dont know why that always seemed to happen.
Okey, I don't know who you are or what your point is. Are you joking or being serious about it?
For those whom do not know, this is from MARK chapter 5 verses 1 to 17+.
Why did they really want Jesus to go away after he had healed the man from the demons? You know that swine is a tainted animal for the Jews. Now, why do you ask, why do they keep these swine? The jews won't eat them, then who will? Romans. The swine was fed and keep there for the romans. So wouldn't it be normal to ask someone to leave, if they are bad for their buisness. Just think about it, around 2000, possibly less, swine, for ONE man.
I suggest if you want to get to know the word a bit better, do a exegesis on it, word study. www.e-sword.com, download some bibles then download all commentaries you can get. Much easier to get some understanding and background of the text. To go deeper into the text, then just plainly look at the text and think you can see all in one read. No way, not possible.. the bible is so complex so deep thinking that you would understand it in a instance without a heart is impossible. And what other love to do, is ripp out the word out of its context. Like taking some places from the bible in the old testament about stoning people etc. THAT is like taking one PIXEL out of a BILLION pixel picture. No wonder we have interpretations from hell on earth.
Anyhow, this isn't the topic to discuss things like this or is it? Anyway, as I said, its a possible theory and you know theories is not equal to truth, since its a theory, not a proven fact.
TUGS, if you are going to quote from the bible, you quote, not make up stories. You are "quoting", I regonize those bible places, but still you are somewhat bending your own truth or making confusion among others. Use www.blueletterbible.org and paste a LINK to the bible place if it too long to paste here.
Sairen, you know alot of theories don't you? Why are you getting so upset over me?
My buddy J was in church once, and there was a lady there with a horrible hunch back (caused by a nasty demon). All he did was tell her she's free, and no more hunching.
so these friends of a friend of mine were walking around town minding their own business, when this freaked out girl saw them. She started yelling at everybody who went by that these 2 guys were better than everybody else. She kept following them and doing this for a long time until one of the 2 guys turned around and ordered her to stop in the name of my buddy J.
She stops, but not only that, she's suddenly a normal girl. This pisses off her bosses who have been making money off of her being messed up and telling the future. So they get these 2 guys thrown in jail.
Yes, and fucked up shit never happends in the States. Wake up, moron.
Did I mention the United States at all? Did that news story mention the United States at all? What the fuck does anything in this thread have to do with the United States?
Am I missing some hidden meaning as far as that smiley is concerned? I click on a thread thinking someone said something, and what do I find? That. Thanks, buddy.

When I was reading this, I pictured the scene from Back to School where Sam Kinnison is yelling to Rodney Dangerfield about the Vietnam and Korea wars. Just going up in a heat of rage. Except, Sam didn't maim Rodney.
This is what Communism does to people.
