Since our exit from 'the miry clay' I have begun to look at the different icons of orthodox religion in a much different way than in the first 50 years of my life. I sometimes go into some of these old ancient stone buildings that Europe is quite full of, and just sit down on an empty pew and think!! Not to worship --- just to think.
There is much that, to me, seems to be 'effort misdirected' but a person can't help but admire the enormous effort folks have gone through, through the ages, and the enormous willingness to forfeit for this purpose, to somehow try and find a way to , misguided or not, have some kind of a relationship with the God of heaven. There have of course been leaders and powers that have used this effort for their own selfish purposes .... but I suspect that the vast majority of the poorer folks who paid a major part of the price for it all .... at least did it in 'good faith'. I don't doubt the fact that the God of heaven put a value on all the effort honestly done by these people to express loyalty to him.

to and: ChidISH and ChildLIKE can be two *very* different things. M. Exactly. And you have yet to point out the childishness that GIT displays due to the double standard that you impose on non-2x2s.

and also...please don't act as though *I* put all non 2x2s or believers of such in a box. I "judge" (actually not, but for lack of a better descriptive word) each person on his/her own merit and conduct, and I'm sure most do the same for me. Sometimes I'm nice/kind and sometimes I act like a child on here. *I'm* aware of that...sometimes the nitpicking just gets too annoying or I'm in the mood to "play" so I come back with something. None of us are perfect. Again, please point out GIT being childish...I only see him state his beliefs..and just because you don't like them or approve of them...doesn't make them childish. IF he is ever childish on here with his retorts/comebacks it's probably because he's fed up reading the last 20 remarks all nitpicking him and has just had enough. M.

One of the MAIN teachings of the workers over the years has been that we make no human representations of God, Christ or any other personnality in the Bible. However, GIT's avatar is a nice icon like the ones we find in all orthodox churches as well as in some catholic ones. GIT by using this avatar can only convey one of the following two messages: - either he accepts the establishment of idols of persons of the Bible, something that certainly is a new 2x2 doctrine, - or he wants to ridicule idolatry, but in so doing publicly offenses the millions of christians who use and adore icons as a means to get nearer to God. It's so amazing to me how some people who see the 2by2 Way as something constraining with it's so-called "unwritten rules" on dress, hair, jewelry, entertainment, etc. Some see this Way as a prison, taking away all of our personal freedom and choice yet continue to try to take away our freedom and personal choice to be here within this group.
Most with little understanding and less knowledge of the Truth continue to pick the nits until they eventually make fools of themselves rather than degrading the Friends.
So now an anonymous "mirror" is accusing us (GIT especially) of IDOLATRY! Does mirror even know the definition of the word?i·dol·a·try NOUN: Worship of idols. Blind or excessive devotion to somethingMirror, mirror on the board how little knowledge you have stored...
Do you know that GIT WORSHIPS the avatar/image/picture on his postings page? If so, then just HOW do you KNOW such intimate knowledge as this about a man you probably have never seen much less met and conversed with?for 2x2s wrote: "For 2x2s, their church is their idol." - Dude! You weren't supposed to tell anybody! It was a SECRET!! Oh, well... It's late, nobody cares to hear the Truth, I'm going to bed for the night...
Peace in Him,
SBB

Positive proof that some exes have reverted to childhood. ...and a child shall lead them. I Cor 14:20 (ESV) Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. Christ's Forever, Jessi

SSB adores the 2x2 church, which he calls "the Truth". Christians adore Jesus, who called Himself "the Truth." Now who is the fool?

The one who does not read nor heed what Jesus called the Truth, the Holy Word (Jn 17:17). He is the Truth and the whole of Scripture is about Him. That is why He is the Truth and the Bible is also the Truth. And the Word was God (Jn 1:1-14). Christ's Forever, Jessi

Possibly next time my posting will not be written at nearly 3:00 am and I might be able to state my point clearer.
First, I do adore Jesus Christ. I believe he died on the Cross, that His shed Blood, His very Life was the sacrifice for my sins. For the sins of ALL mankind if we but believe Him and accept Him into our hearts. Jesus Christ is Truth.
Second, I love the 2by2 way. There so many names by which this un-named group are called that quite possibly we all need a score card just to identify the teams. "The Truth is but one name of many. If you have read any of my other posts you will see that in some of the traditions I have some disagreement and have even attempted to reason with the Workers in order to help them accept what I know to be The Truth according to the Holy Bible and the Word of Jesus Christ.
Word games are seemingly the only plan of attack you anonymous posters can come up with. You must become more imaginative to overcome the Power of the Spirit of Jesus!
Please remember these words before you fire off another judgment:Mt:5:22: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.I will pray for your Spirit tonight and though I do not know your name, God will know of whom I ask.Peace in Him,
SBB
