Ha ha, in a TV docu series, Star Wars actor Ewan McGregor and his mates were motorcycling through Tunisia and stopped over at a small Star Wars museum there, walking round minus his helmet and leathers, looking just like the other shirts-and-shorts tourists milling around.

But nobody recognised him, despite there being posters of him on the walls among the memorabilia and stuff, and if they'd just glanced around they'd have seen him standing next to them.
As he left he said to camera with a smile "I was expecting to get mobbed"..:)

The moral?- Same with Jesus; there was the Son of God himself walking around Israel large as life, yet he remained unrecognised by the snooty Jewish priests and many ordinary people.
No wonder he had to tell them to get their noses out of the small print of their heavyweight theological volumes and simply glance up to see him standing right in front of them-
"You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life." (John 5:39)

VID-go to about 6:30-

Hello Wayfarer and thank-you for the similitude,

1 Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

I just thought to add to your morale.

What would Christ take and when would a person know that He had come?

Hey Wayfarer, how come you understand what snooty looks like so well?

I sure would not want to make the same mistake that they made, all arrogant and condemning the Son of God himself, all because He did not fulfill their understanding of the scriptures and they did not want to listen to the Truth.

[Wayfarer]

..Hey Wayfarer, how come you understand what snooty looks like so well?..

Go into 9 out of 10 "Christian" churches and you'll see snooty clergy and snooty congregations with your own eyes..:)
I was never able to find a church that wasn't snooty or just plain bad in one way or another.
For example there's a big modern church near me but it's full of arm-waving Charismatics and tongue-jabbering Pentecostals, it's more like the monkey house at London Zoo than a church.
We don't need churches anyway, Jesus said so.(Matt 6:6)
In fact we're told to avoid the bad ones altogether-
"Bad company corrupts good character" (1 Cor 15:33)

They can't get under Jesus's radar..:)
"Not all who call me "Lord,Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven. Then I'll tell them plainly, I never knew you, get away from me" (Matt 7:21-23)

[Wayfarer]

.....Christ....when would a person know that He had come?..

Dead easy..:)

A closer examination of the "Casting out demons into pigs" miracle (Matt ch 8)-

DEMONS IN MAN - "Leave us alone!"
JESUS - "On yer bikes, get into them pigs!"
(pigs go bananas and charge over cliff)
SWINEHERD - "Hey! what you done to me pigs?"
JESUS (to Peter) - "Come on mate let's do a runner!"
SWINEHERD - "That's it run off you yob, I know where you live! I'll tell your mam about you"..
(Later at home): MARY - "What you bin doing today?"
JESUS - "Nowt"
MARY - "I heard you done summat to some pigs"..
JESUS - "You heard wrong"

I totally understand your problem when it comes to Jesus, you see him as disrespectful towards his mother, a liar, a coward, a blamer and a few other less than desirable qualities.

Your image of him needs to be cleaned up!!

Hello Mick and thank-you for being the Court jester,

Oh God please help Godsgift and all the other humourless nonchristians to be funny like me..:)

When we joke our unconscious mind comes out to play and tells us many things that normally we would not see, you will see that many of my posts contain a dash of humor to offset your own blatant foolishness.

"Become a fool by the worlds standards in order to become wise, for the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight." (1 Corinthians 3:18/19)

You have not become a fool by worldly standards but have become a fool of the world and laugh and call the things of God foolishness. I have said before that I sit here with you while you laugh at your own foolishness.

The last laugh is God's when he shows you just how much of a jester you have been but I do have to thank-you Mick for keeping us all entertained, I still can not wait to see the rerun of you and Grandma Tucker that has us all in stitches, wish I could play it for all to see.

Is it ok if I just tell everyone about it?

Well I've searched my collection of stunning articles but I can't find any "Grandma Tucker", although there is a 'June' and a 'Kathleen' in there which have had people rolling in the aisles at other websites.
Or was it a video or something?
Let me know and i'll have another look for it..:)

It is nothing that you have posted at another website, it is something that you have tucked away in the dark recesses of your memory from when you were younger and have tried to forget but it is slowly being brought back to the fore front that you must deal with it and come to accept it for the foolishness that it is.

I do not want to post the details as it could be embarrassing and that is not my intention, my intention is to remind you of who you are and what Christ has done to cleanse you from your past to make you clean, so that you could enter the Kingdom of God.

When you adjust your own perspective and know that God wants to do the same for others, then you can afford the same mercy to them that God has shown to you.

Think about the two words "Grandma" and "Tucker" it will come to you.

Hello Mick and thank-you for your shortness of memory...It is nothing that you have posted at another website, it is something that you have tucked away in the dark recesses of your memory from when you were younger..

Well like i said I remember being jailed on a vigilante rap once, and I also remember being arrested for sending death threats to local leftwing politicians, and another time the police searched my flat for guns.
And once I went out with an iron bar to brain the leader of a local street gang and his mates (I had a temper in those days ha ha), but they heard I was after them and wisely lay low, but I honestly can't find any Grandma Tucker in the dark recesses of my memory, can you give me a clue?

Sorry mate I haven't a clue, have you been hearing voices at seances or what?

[Godsgifttomankind]

Hello Mick and thank-you for your confusion,

Sorry mate I haven't a clue, have you been hearing voices at seances or what?

Yes, I am hearing one voice and it is your voice, as you are sitting here beside me, laughing your ass off and telling me what I should right in answer to you.

You are my best buddy in the time that I am in, which really is no time because there is no time where I am with you, we have opened a door in your memory and the things that you have been hiding will all start rushing back and while now you do not remember, you will remember shortly.

In your future you have such a wonderful presence about you that all enjoy your company and so much more so those that at present you have rejected, the major reason for this is from dealing with the past that I have been talking about with you and coming to a much fuller understanding of how much Love that God had for you and once you understand this you light up like a Christmas Tree in a very darkroom and will do anything to share this love.

Your Bestest Buddy,

[Godsgifttomankind]

Hello Mick and thank-you for your silence,

You just asked me to write you another note, to help continue the process, it seems that your inner child has been locked up for too long and wants to be let out so that is can use it's wings and fly and show forth it's beauty.

Can little Mickie come out to play?

Your Bestest Buddy,

[Waymarker]

Sorry mate, you're just talking in riddles, I don't know what the demonic voices have been telling you, but remember one thing-

Jesus said of Satan-"When he lies, he speaks his native language, he is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:44)

[Godsgifttomankind]

Hello Mick and thank-you for your disbelief,

Sorry mate, you're just talking in riddles, I don't know what the demonic voices have been telling you, but remember one thing-

Jesus said of Satan-"When he lies, he speaks his native language, he is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:44)

I can understand your skepticism on this matter and would be in the same situation if you were to tell me the same thing, so I suggest that we do a test to prove what I am saying is true or is not true, so that the truth of the matter may be ascertained.

I suggest that you ask me a question that only you know the answer to and I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am speaking the truth to you.

You are suggesting it not be anything that would be embarrassing to you but something totally innocent.

We believe that you are going to enjoy the humour of this when you make your choice for it is your own private joke.

Your Bestest Buddy,

[Waymarker]

Mate,you put me in mind of Shakespeare's Macbeth, one of the greatest studies of the supernatural ever written.
He consults the 3 witches, and at first they string him along to get him hooked into believing them, then as the play progresses they lead him further down the garden path and drop him right in it.
Too late, he realises they've made a mug of him-"They win us with trifles...And be these juggling fiends no more believed, that palter with us in a double sense.."

In short, it appears demons have got you hooked by feeding you little morsels of what you want to hear (based on your hatred of me that they've planted in your mind).
Remember, you call yourself a Bahai, so be careful you don't give people a wrong impression of Bahaism..;)

You can play your little games with your demonic pals if you like, but I'd just be bored joining in.
In fact me and the readers of this thread are already bored wondering who this "Granny Tucker" is who you keep on about..(yawn)..

Hello Mick and thank-you for your continued skepticism,

You are right Mick, you are just too smart for me, I was trying to lead you down the garden path and see if you would play along with my little game but your skepticism and astute reasoning has prevailed and has stopped you from being tricked into believing something that is totally unreasonable.

In short, it appears demons have got you hooked by feeding you little morsels of what you want to hear (based on your hatred of me that they've planted in your mind).

On the Contrary Mick, I love you for your wit and the different ways that you look at things, I thought that I could pull a fast one on you but you have out smarted me and are not as gullible as maybe I would have liked.

The joke is on me!

Remember, you call yourself a Bahai, so be careful you don't give people a wrong impression of Bahaism..;)

You are right, what was I thinking Bahais do not believe in things like this and we definitely do not believe in demons.

You can play your little games with your demonic pals if you like, but I'd just be bored joining in.
In fact me and the readers of this thread are already bored wondering who this "Granny Tucker" is who you keep on about..(yawn)..

I guess that you have corrected me so and I will have to figure out a better game to play with you.

Your Bestest Buddy,

[Waymarker]

Whoa mate, you implied there was something nasty and shameful lurking in my past concerning somebody called "Granny Tucker" (who I've never heard of), so why don't you tell me and my devoted fans straight out what it was, or they might think you were trying to soil my character with false allegations.
You know "false witness" is a sin don't you?
Be very careful, Jesus said -"Every careless word you speak will be judged" (Matt 12:36)

But if you care to admit you were mistaken, I'm quite prepared to put it down to a "misunderstanding" and forget all about it..;)

Hello Mick and thank-you for your concerns,

Whoa mate, you implied there was something nasty and shameful lurking in my past concerning somebody called "Granny Tucker" (who I've never heard of), so why don't you tell me and my devoted fans straight out what it was, or they might think you were trying to soil my character with false allegations.

It was never my intent to make false allegations nor soil your reputation, on the contrary I was attempting to clean-up and beautify the Mick that I adore so much, I guess that I got a little carried away with my own imaginary story and can in no ways spin a yarn as well as you. I hope that you will forgive me.

You know "false witness" is a sin don't you?
Be very careful, Jesus said -"Every careless word you speak will be judged" (Matt 12:36)

I would never want to be a false witness and thank-you for judging me so righteously.

But if you care to admit you were mistaken, I'm quite prepared to put it down to a "misunderstanding" and forget all about it..;)

I am so grateful that you are so understanding and forgiving, you are truly my Bestest Buddy in the whole world and I can see your pal in you.

[Waymarker]

...I am so grateful that you are so understanding and forgiving, you are truly my Bestest Buddy in the whole world and I can see your pal in you.

Ha ha, you're still implying you have some 'psychic' knowledge that reveals there's some connection between me and the term 'Bestest Buddy' from my childhood and that you have a "vision" of him in me.
If you're fishing for clues, I'm sorry to disappoint you mate,but that means absolutely nothing to me.
You remind me of one of those stage mediums who fish for clues among the audience by saying- "Is there a Charles here?...does the name Charles mean anything to anybody?...Does the letter 'K' means something to anyone here..?

If you dabble in the occult mate that's a big no-no in Gods eyes-

STARGATES by Mick

The Bible forbids "contacting the dead" outright:- "Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritualists, for you will be defiled by them, I am the Lord your God."(Lev 19:31)

This is because seances and spiritualist church meetings,ouija boards etc are "Stargates" through which demons gain entry into our world.
For example the entity that passes itself off as dear departed "Uncle Albert" is simply a demon in disguise.
After all,it's not going to admit "I'm a demon that incites men to murder little girls" is it?

"Satan and his servants can masquerade as angels of light" (2 Cor 11:13)"..

Over the years,innocent dupes who dabble in the occult must have unleashed countless demons into our world, and because they've ignored God's order not to do it, they'll be joining their demon chums in hell..
