I don’t get it?[/quote]That’s a thread. Don’t play dumb, I’ve seen you in some. You remember dear Elder Forlife I hope. He’s gay. Ex Mormon. Was married with kids. You remember. He’s been in threads too. I was lookin around and saw that one. It made me miss the guy. That’s where you haven’t seen somebody in a while who’s company you enjoy. What else can I help you with Chris =]
Oh yeah. So what does your church do if two men or women show up arm in arm heralding their arrival as God’s will for the parish? What is the procedure by which the body is kept pure?[/quote]
By which the body is kept pure? Draw and quartering I suppose, I’m not sure what procedure you’re looking for and what it is supposed to do when you say, “by which the body is kept pure?”[/quote]
The 5th chapter of Paul’s 1st letter to the church at Corinth comes to mind. That’s where you actually DO what the scriptures say. PRAISE GOD!!!, we’re on a roll!! What Else? Come on. I can’t wait to help ya with sumthin else now Chris.[/quote]
So, you’re purposefully being vague? Glad, I wasn’t disappointed in my ability to comprehend clear and concise English. Listen, I’m a business guy. You gotta shoot it to me straight, I can’t keep up with this vague allusions to stuff. You want to bring my attention to something please make it so I don’t have to guess so much.[/quote]
Chris, your statements above clearly demonstrate your general insensitivity to issues of context. You DON’T understand clear and concise English. All you had to do was read his statements in context. Tirib said, “so what does your church do if two men or women show up arm in arm heralding their arrival as God’s will for the parish?” His next question, written immediately after and in the same paragraph, is “what is the procedure by which the body is kept pure?” Logic would dictate that, since Tirib is a smart guy and understands how PARAGRAPHS work, his second question was a continuation of the first. The catchword “body,” which you constantly remind us in your posts is the church, would most likely refer to the church .
If you show no sensitivity to meaning at the level of discourse, how in the world can you possibly serve your church as a faithful interpreter of Scripture?
