Ha! Well I actually said you were “ranting” in general and “rambling like a lunatic”.

Boy — I guess you proved me wrong. No rambling like a lunatic from you! Thanks for another coherent comment…

Now back to the point of this post. I have thought up a few super-names for you:

-RANTOR (Sound angry like you do plus the all caps is the inverse of your no caps style)
-Brazil Boy (With excellent skill at marketing all things Brazillian)
-Captain ZealSansKnowledge (I think it fits and is a nod to brother Nibley)
-Jumpin Threadjack Flash (Comments completely off topic at will!)
-Banned Boy (‘Cause I suspect I’ll probably need to ban you after you see this comment and flip out)

Lighten up bro. Life is too short to spend it angry. ;-)

chris,

I’m still not sure why you are ranting about this. No one here disagrees in principle. I only have a problem with the fact that you seem to think I need to be called to repentance over this subject when you know nothing about me or my situation. You are rambling like a lunatic and yet what do you suggest we actually do? You act as if everyone reading this is guilty of something — what is your sage-like suggestion for us to actually do in our lives right now? And how do you know we are not already doing it?

I have read all of that Nibley material you are drawing from. I agree with it. Why are you attacking me? What is it you think I’m doing incorrectly?

You can compare yourself to Christ or Moroni or Abinidi all you want, but this statement of yours: “i knew when i posted all this stuff i would get this kind of pharisee reaction.” tells me that you actually came here looking for contention and you know who inspires that kind of attitude. (Hint: It ain’t Jesus)

so i guess what your saying geoff is that jesus shouldnt have been so uncharitable and judgemental of the pharisees. or that moroni should’nt have been that way when he says about the rich(or the world)in our day why do ye adorn yourselves with things that have no life and suffer the poor to go without. i’d say they were pretty uncharitable and judgemental too would’nt you? do you think when abinadi was talking to king noah that he wasnt talking to him as being like many rich people today? when i was young i thought as many of the people in the church think today. the world is sex, drugs, alchohol, cigarettes and partys.that is not what the world is. the world is satans world of money. how many times do you see the prophets in the bom talk about the vain things of the world. do you think that they were talking about things that don’t have to do with money? also when you talked about this relationship between prosperity and wealth. you really think that properity is wealth huh? Prosperity is having enough. wealth is having too much and enough to possess the vain things of the world.(big houses,hummers,fine clothes that you buy your kids that separate them from less affluent kids) you think that a rich person’s mansion or life is any different from that of king noah’s back in bom days. also when you made this inference to the lord saying that if ye shall keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land what he meant was you wont have the lamanites coming into your lands destroying you because of your high heads caused from your riches. again “prospering” is not having the lamanites threatening to destroy you at any moment. prospering is not being smitten by famine and pestilences. prospering has nothing to do with excess of things. i am a prosperous person. i have just enough to take care of my wife and son. i make 34,000 a year. we eat, we sleep ,we play , we laugh and what makes us even more prosperous is that we don’t have to waste our precious time together thinking about how to get more money like rich or unprosperous people do. we don’t have to sell our souls for money like my former friend who makes about 350,000 a year. he’s not even a millionaire by todays standards but he spends every waking moment trying to get more money to the chagrin of his former wife and kids. that’s what it takes to be the kind of prosperous that your talking about. you have to sell your soul to get it. you think that you can just live the commandments and be rich? your sorely mistaken buddy. you have to sell your soul to you know who to get it.and when you have this kind of “abundance” in your eyes the stain of it follows you everywhere. i knew when i posted all this stuff i would get this kind of pharisee reaction. just goes to prove my theory once again of the hypocrites in the church over here

Eve wasnt parseltongue, they all spoke the Adamic Tongue prior to the Tower of Babel. However, the Serpent was obviously polymorphic.

DKL has avoided the parsel tongue issue entirely. That must be a super power of its own!

Ha! I was thinking the same thing DKL. It was not me, it was chris… he is probably not aware of our good times regarding the subject in the past.

Marked with baldeness… nice. Or worse, maybe it was a marking with Gallagher hair?

Guys, why bring up Nibley in a thread in which I’m participating? (Whatever happens, you all deserve it…)

arj, Cain didn’t up and mark himself. God marked him. And we’re not clear on whether that was color or some other marking. Maybe he was the first bald man.

Yep, I think the serpent was definitely the first super villain for sure.
