Entertaining thread.

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

.

Oh, I don't know; I've never knowingly attributed the works of the Holy Spirit to Satan, and I certainly don't intend to start doing it now.

 

[Michchamp]

what if you do that, but only in a joking manner? is that one of those things you cannot joke about? does god/holy spirit have a sense of humor? you'd think he/they would.

but then again, remembering my Biblical tales, I don't think that was the case. If anything, it's a dark sense of humor.

Like... killing off almost the entire population of every species in a massive flood solely because they tick you off is pretty far out when you think about it.

In my movie, The Holy Spirit, played by Richard Lewis, is gonna walk in on a bunch of Cardinals getting drunk, celebrating the selection of a new Pope.

He will profess to being the Holy Spirit, and start doing works that would seem only works that the Holy Spirit would be capable of...

...and all the drunken Cardinals will laugh at him and mock him, because, well, you know...just LOOK at him...

And as the mockery and chastising of Holy Spirit by the Cardinals rises, one of the Cardinals shouts "he's more likely to be Satan than the Holy Spirit..."

And a burst of laughter breaks out from the Cardinals, and they all start agreeing that it's probably the Devil, trying to decieve them all by doing works that look as if they could only be the works of the Holy Spirit...

Now...

If you guys wanna know what happens next...

You're gonna have to buy a ticket.

Not sure how to answer this. Did you honestly think I was serious in telling Tinsel he was going straight to hell - like I would have any say in it?

BTW mocking an Old Testment story about Noah reeks of bitterness on your part. The church must have done a real number on you. Did the nuns smack you around in school? :*)

. . . and what will the pope say about whether you are being interned in heaven or hell? Do I have to buy a ticket for that too?

Don't even bother wasting your money on a ticket.

Because you know the Pope ain't gonna give a definitive answer, one way or another.

He'll say "the Pope is humbly blessed with infallability in interpreting His Word; however, not omniscience with regard to His Intentions."

He would probably know how to say that though, in at least as many languages or dialects as Baskin Robbins has flavors of ice cream.

So it might be worth the price of the ticket for that after all, come to think of it.


Edit: Actually, this Pope would probably humbly refer to the Stewardship of the Papacy as better being described as being "the Bishop of Rome," rather than "the Pope."

I do sort of like this new Pope.

Siri, on the other hand, refers to him as a communist.

Siri has literally said that "Che Guevara would have been a better choice..."

I think Siri needs to go on some kind of medication.

But don't let byco know I said that.

Can I play the bitter agnostic who gets smote <smited> to hell?

:hitter:

 

[tinselwolverine]

Can I play the bitter agnostic who gets smited to hell?

Well, I don't know.

Have you ever done any stunt work?

Because the bitter agnostic smiting to hell scene is a major action scene; and the tumble to hell is gonna be pretty physically demanding on the performer.

I suppose I could use you as the bitter agnostic in the events leading up to the smiting, and then use a stunt double for the actual smiting events.

Yeah; you can do that...believe me - you don't wanna do the stunts in the smiting scene at your age...shit - I wouldn't wanna do the stunts in the smiting scene at my age - and I'm a life long fitness freak!!!

They'll be standard industry rates.

I don't know if you're SAG/AFTRA; but if you're not, nowadays you can just buy your way in whenever you want.

Ain't like the old days, before the merger.

i didn't think agnostics could be bitter. they're just kinda like this:

Creative license.

Agnostic, athiest, whatever - the tumble to hell is one hell of an action scene.

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.

It's right there in Mark, Chapter 3. The number of times I've heard it read at Mass, I can't count.

...but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin...

I must have heard it many times, but if you state it out of context, I have no memory of it. It's not because I don't pay attention. But in context, it's not about insulting the Holy Spirit. It's about working for or against God and not getting hung up on all the details of the rules men create in the name of religion.

The context is that Jesus is casting out demons and the Pharisees accuse Him of being a demon himself.

In my case I think it was because I wasn't paying attention.

Okay, now I'm really getting confused...are we talking about Jesus or the Holy Spirit?

I read that as him saying to them basically that blaspheming him is as bad as doing it to the holy spirit, since they are one and the same according to christian teaching.

they were probably thinking "jesus, this guy is pretentious."

I thought he was healing people on the Sabbath.

 

[redandguilty]

People tried to say Jesus was an agent of Satan because he had the power to drive out demons (and he was healing people on the Sabbath) and he argued that a kingdom divided against itself cannot last and Satan does not drive out Satan and human sins are forgiven and blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not.

I don't see that as a statement about insults. That's an "either you're with us or against us" statement. Or more accurately, "if you're with us, you're not against us, even if the Pharisees say you are."
