Glory In Truth,
I would like you to consider changing your alias from "Glory In Truth" to something else.
The reason that I ask you to consider this is because most of the time "Glory In Truth" is abbreviated to "GIT !"
Where I come from, "Git" is a highly derogatory word, very insulting and borders upon being a swear word.
I used to think it was merely a slang word but in consulting my dictionary I notice the following entry :
Git : used contemptuously to describe a person as a fool
This sort of thing crosses my mind every time I see it.

Hi Ken, I've been called many things but never "Morality !"
I used to post as Andrew M on this board and "Ronald" on the 2x2 Doctrine board.
For consistency I am now using my initials RAM. I couldn't use Andrew M or Ronald on both boards because there was already a "Ronald" registered on TMB and an "Andrew" and a "Ron" on the other board.
I come from Scotland, the land where it all began.

Actually, GIT, I was thinking that too! In my generation git stood for stupid, fool etc. At school we would say "you stupid git!"

RAM, you make a good point. My husband is from England and while I don't actually think GiT IS a "git," I do think of it each and every time I type GiT! ;D

Ram There once was a poster by the name of Morality who had a very good sence of humor. Somewhat like we find in you posts in suggested alternate name or names not to use.

Thanks for your thoughtfulness!
Actually I am aware that GIT means a foolish person, or a contemptible person in Australia and the United Kingdom. However, I rather like this hidden layer of meaning. I consider myself a fool in Jesus, and am happy to be viewed contempuously. "For so persecuted they the prophets who were before you!" Jesus said to the multitude. "And they rejoiced to be counted worthy to suffer shame for his name".
It brings me joy, amongst the hurt, to know that am I a hated being among the exes, many of whom would gladly hurt me physically in lieu of hurting me via text.
Peace be unto you, friend.

Rick,
Actually it goes back much further than the shores of Gallilee. It goes right back to the beginning of the World.
When man was first created he was placed in the heart of Scotland. Over here the human race is often referred to as "we are all Jock Tamson's bairns !" Jock Tamson is a common Scottish name which clearly means "Adam !"
Do you require further proof ?
In the region of Fife where I live, one of the main watercourses is the "River Eden !"
Not enough for you, eh ?
How about our capital city, "Edinburgh ?" Quite obviously a corruption of "Eden-burgh," or the town on the River Eden.
And of course Scotland is the only country in the world where the Haggis still roams. First brought to Jock Tamson - I mean "Adam, way back in the beginning for naming. So confounded by this highly unusual species of bird with its three legs, Jock deliberated somewhat over its name. When prompted by God for an answer, Jock began to mutter his decision "I guess....." whereupon the Heavenly hosts rejoiced and the name "I guess" (later "Haggis) stuck.
So is it any real wonder that the root or stump "truth" not theory was found in Scotland, not far from Edenburgh ?

Too bad you aren't man enough to name anyone, and have to resort to throwing out baseless stupidity such as this.

I willingly choose a name to invite persecution so all may see just how much like you I really am. If you need another Jesus to sacrifice, I'm your man. God, I thank Thee that I am a million more times humble than other men.'

GIT you sure put yourself on a high pedestal. I do not think any one cares all that much... no one wants to hurt you. Sure there are some among us that do not agree with you... but that is all it is... nothing more.
