Thanks, Trish!

I think that does it..

Yeah, that's Sprout, for sure.

And now I see my IP has been blocked, so I couldn’t even mock that Zionist pig DFM.

Not surprised, but no notice on the board and none via e-mail - even though I’ve e-mailed him a couple of times recently…once with criticisms of his pet, SES.

Get bent, Kenniboi. Good riddance to your boardful of bad behavior.  I’ll let someone else police it from here on out..

greenman, you posted too many personal attacks on R&E.

You are on timeout for the rest of this month.  You are welcome back April 1st.

You seem angry.  I think it would be good for you to take a break from that forum.  I suggest ignoring the forum.  I suggest not even going there to read it.  It seems like it makes you too angry. 

 

It’s interesting that there’s STILL no notice on the board indicating my status.

Very disrespectful..and not just to me.

Always the third-class citizen..

=========================

I could be wrong, but from observation, I'm pretty sure that only those people with bans/time outs that Ken has NO EMAIL for are announced publicly? 

Oh, and that thread ABSOLUTELY was as POLITICAL as possible.  They all knew what Otis was talking about so added to it -- all in CODE, of course.  However, the obvious nature of it being a POLITICAL hurrah that tRUMP won in the SCOTUS was hard to miss.

I’ll say what I said in the private e-mail exchange (which, for some reason, you felt necessary to bring onto this board):

A lot of angry people on your board, Ken. Blame me all you want - and I know you do - and I don’t care - but that’s an increasingly toxic environment.

Three reasons are DFM, CE0802, and Sprout. Note the hostility revolving around their posts.

If you ever even read the board. Who the hell knows..

==============================

The environment is VERY TOXIC right now.  The mix has gone downhill and that's the fault of certain trolls who DELIGHT in trolling others into losing their tempers.  Then they wander off laughing about it.  Someday they'll get what they deserve, but right now, that's not today.  It's not fair and it's ugly, but it's allowed so it's pointless to get SO RILED UP.  Please, simmer down and just don't look in for awhile.  At least if they ruin everything, it won't be any bit YOUR fault.

It’s a waste of time being there, and a waste of time talking about it.

Sad to say, that’s just what it is now IMO. A waste of time.

============

I'm glad you've simmered down and realize that expending too much energy worrying about what they do just pushes up your blood pressure and makes them happy.

Yeah, I just read that and posted to that effect.

Ken doesn't keep up with politics so doesn't likely even know what Otis is doing or how disrespectful he's being towards him by deliberately violating his policies right to his face and laughing about it.

Disgraceful behavior.
 

I haven't had a hip replacement, no.  My husband has a metal shoulder replacement.  I know folks who've had hip replacements.  They had to work hard in PT but it was very successful when done all of that. 

I honestly have no idea.  I didn't see your posts so don't know what they were or why they were taken down?

It is likely that Ken didn't know that the thread actually was political since Otis was SO SNEAKY about it and the others all played along.  They all dissed Ken by playing along as if they didn't know EXACTLY what Otis was up to.  They all knew!
 

Amusing that SES seems to think that he's a better translator of ancient texts in the O.T. than scholars whose job it is to do.

Maiden is another term for virgin, particularly in biblical times.  A maiden was an unmarried woman, indicating her virginal status.

The Author quotes (well, miss-quotes) the verse he's referring to. 

 Posted by CE0802 on March 22, 2024, 4:59 am, in reply to "Re: how religions are invented." 

Matthew 1

22: All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
23: "Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel"

The correct translation of Isaiah 7:14 is "the maiden [not virgin] is with child and she will bear a son, and will call his name Immanuel."

And because of that miss-translation, we now have the long story in Luke about the Angel telling Mary that she'd become pregnant without having sex, and the Angel coming to Joseph and telling him not to be mad because Mary is pregnant, etc.

All of that was completely invented, because of a miss-translation of the ancient text.

In fact, the ancient text in the OT is now INTENTIONALLY miss-translated so as to confirm the NT story.

Ha!  Good one. I noticed that, too. ‘Maiden’ has always strongly implied ‘virgin’ in English.

The word is ‘Almah,’ I think, which is Hebrew for ‘young (unmarried) woman.’  There’s a huge debate, especially with Catholics, over which word is used and why, and how the words are translated to Greek.

‘The Septuagint translates most occurrences of almah into a generic word neanis (νεᾶνις) meaning 'young woman' however, two occurrences, one in Genesis 24:43 and one in Isaiah 7:14, are translated as parthenos (παρθένος), the basic word associated with virginity in Greek (it is a title of Athena 'The Virgin Goddess') but still occasionally used by the Greeks for a unmarried woman who is not a virgin.[19] Steve Moyise states that most scholars agree that Isaiah's phrase (a young woman shall conceive and bear a son) did not intend to convey any miraculous conception, yet, considering other uses of almah, Moyise allows that context can sometimes suggest that virgin is an appropriate translation.’ (Wikipedia)

The question is about whether Isaiah or the NT use ‘virgin’ or ‘young woman’ when describing Mary.  Obviously Catholics found the ‘Immaculate Conception’ idea useful for recreating Jesus as God-man.

Virtually every scientist now believes there was a start time, a beginning, and the consequence of that fact indicate to many the existence of God as the cause.

They are too busy teaching the "LEFTIST AGENDA":

Multiple genders (more than 2) exist.
Capitalism is evil.
Marxism is good.
There is a supremely dangerous "climate crisis" in progress. Those who deny it are evil.
We must cease use of all fossil fuel immediately.
A man can be converted into a woman and vice versa.
All white people are inherently evil.
Critical Race Theory.
Israel is not a legitimate country.
Political terrorism is a morally valid method in attaining moral goals.
Censorship of "Misinformation" is a proper function of government.

Much other bullshit.

‘Much other bullshit’ is the ENTIRE HISTORY OF YOUR POSTING, Meyer!

Talk about protected…this ENTIRE POST is right-wing bullshit!
