What is that? Selling one's soul to Satan?

No. For ascribing the the works of the Holy Spirit to the devil. "Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit."

And if there ever was a false premise, it's selling one's soul to Satan. That is only found in fiction. That's not how he operates.

So when Black Sabbath claimed they sold their souls for rock and roll, they were lying.

He wanders the Earth challenging people to fiddle competitions for their souls. Pretty sure that in the Bible. Everybody knows it. Chicken in the breadpan pickin' out dough.

Not exactly: They simply "knew not what they were doing."

The only person he actively tried to tempt was Jesus Himself, and we all know how that went.

Da - da - da - dada - da - dadada - nanana

you gotta be evil to write music like that.

Well, considering Richard Lewis for the role of the Holy Spirit might be a little insulting, but I don't think it amounts to ascribing the works of the Holy Spirit to the devil.

So I probably should be okay.

Did you ever see that episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry David steals "a nail from the true cross" from his wife's uncle to use to hang his Mezzuzah? I thought Richard Lewis was in that one (not as the Holy Spirit of course).

later on, he drops the nail when some guy is chasing him, and the guy steps on it and is incapacitated and Larry David picks it up incredulous as light starts shining on him, and he believes it is from the True Cross.

Yes, I vaguely remember that one.

"Spirit InThe Sky" By Norman Greenbaum (Thought that "Greenbaum" was a Jewish surname) "One hit wonder" song that was played to death during the early 70s on FM AOR radio stations. Trippy song that sounded even better with headphones and a bowlful of hashish or thai-stick back in the day.

When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best

Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
Gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best

Never been a sinner I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best

Greenbaum was Jewish. apparently some were offended by the song because of that; felt he was mocking them.

But either way...it's a great song. Jesus would definitely jam to it while he cruised around in His '72 Mustang fastback.

I have it on good authority that Jesus drives a '68 Sedan DeVille convertible, it was a gift from Frank Sinatra.

Kinda wish that I hadn't thought of that song now, since it will probably be an "earworm" playing on a loop through my mind all day.

In all my years growing up going to Catholic Church and Chatecism, and whatnot, I don't remember ever hearing anything about any of this from any Priest, in any sermon, in any Gospel or any of them other readings that they do, nor from any Catechism teacher in class - nothing.

That said, in kinda looking at those passages that Thumb posted, and the commentary on them and such, it seems that the whole thing has to do with a specific something some Pharisee, or other, did in response to the guys going out and picking corn on the Sabbath, or something like that-kind of an isolated thing.

So I guess I don't really think that the typical Joe goes around everyday, witnessing events that could not possibly be mistaken to be anything other than the obvious works of the Holy Spirit himself, but for whatever knuckleheaded reason, decides to ascribe them to the devil, nevertheless.

Not a Mustang. A Shelby Daytona. This one, specifically. $13,000,000.

wow.

that is just...

but he wouldn't be #13, right? He would be 7, or one of the holier numbers.

 

[byco42]

I took that picture myself. And the 13 could mean 1:3, like, for example, John 1:3.

Or when Our Lord is feeling whimsical, He can be seen driving this vehicle.

Oh I dunno...While driving #13, He could pop in a CD of some Judas Priest songs while "Heading Out To The Highway" with "The Green Manalishi" (With The Two-Pronged Crown) and His "Turbo Lover".

 

[TheVictors]

Just read it ... Saw the 13 .... love the thread.

 

[KAWDUP]

Entertaining thread.

. . . and Tinsel - you are going straight to hell, buddy. :*)

Do not pass GO and do not collect $200.00.

The vindictive God of the Old Testament will smite you down, and let you burn.

. . . or maybe the New Testament Jesus will forgive your blashphemy, and raise you up to heaven.

Only the pope knows for sure, because he is, of course, infallible.

Be sure to ask him when you see him or whoever is cast as him in your next movie idea.
