It's the Nephilim! Actually a very clever cut and paste job. Compare the shadow of the guys in the white shirts to other items. The guys in the white were there at noonish while the rest of the image shows long afternoon,l early evening shadowing.

The others posted after the first grouping I couldn't tell you if real or a hoax. Do some googling and you'll find there is a plethora of giants world wide found at various times in history.

Sure looks cool.

The Improbability of God seems dwarfed by the improbability of the universe. I wonder if afterall the problem might not be the improbability of mankind. I'll be retireing at the end of this month, the studs must come off.

There is some talk that the universe has a nerve system of sorts and a similarly posited plasma circulatory system. I figure god and the universe are one and the same. So we was assembled from existing parts by the universe. What else god? Ha Any argument there? I dosen't think so. We was kreated by the universe perhaps. Dosen't evolution kreate kreatures? I'm afraid we are sort of evolutionarily stuck with the god concept for a while yet I rekon Festus. Some sort of spiritual connection is required to enable handling of the 99.9999999999% we will always quess at, there is no way to get out in front of the universe or even approach catching up to get a climps of the tail-lights. Maybe I'm just going soft on god.

God hasn't everdone anything, as there is 'no' god, but the discussion about
the subject of god, definitely does that.

Dead, how long, looks like last years kill. Forget the eggs, bake some unleavened bread, eat while standing (like you might have to ditch in a hurry) AKA the real passover and if nothing happens by 5 after midnight sit back an relax for another year, or day, or whatever..

Apparently you didn't get the update, blood sacrifice is a no-no. Another one sent for a 1,000 year timeout, see how easy it is to get bumped? lol
Isa:66:3:
He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man;
he that sacrificeth a lamb,
as if he cut off a dog's neck;
he that offereth an oblation,
as if he offered swine's blood;
he that burneth incense,
as if he blessed an idol.
Yea,
they have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

I thought JC overturned all that fire and brimstone nonsense. And he did sacrifice himself on the cross (or at least that is what we are supposed to believe). But then you are an old testicle... oops! testament type of guy/gal.

Yeah, we got wife's Dad to come over with his pipe, rattles, feathers, and a couple well-shopsen words of Anishinaabemowin to put a hoodoo on our house. No blood involved.

LOL, not really, perhaps you should read Re:16 to see what kind of treatment the non-believers get. The OT was just the warm-up for the Day of the Lord. One sword, one swish, where did all the scary men go. LOL

Lets see, idol worship, hey you lucked out no sword coming for you. Actually Angels are going to even come to your place to get you, unfortunately Scripture says those ones (idol worshipers)are either headed for the wine-press or the feast for the beast of the field. I think the people are dead before the gnawing actually starts although I don't have a verse that specifically says so. I hope you get a big meat eater, those birds pecking at you can take so long before they get to the heart of the matter.
Now somebody like Spade could avoid the blood and use prayer and the results would be the same as what the blood was intended to do. How much easier is that also.

Interesting that some members hate God, or dismiss Him as being a figment yet absolutely love the ones who claim to be His people even though in His book He repeatedly had to chastise them for not being able to follow some rather basic instructions. Killing innocents being right at the top of the list of things not to do.
3,000 years and they still don't understand that one. The good news is Christians, once they get into a group of more than 10, are just a stupid, just not as stupid as long as the Jews.

I have a couple items that reach further than swords. They make scary people go away, too.

Easier maybe. Not nearly as entertaining, though.

Mhz,

I knew a guy back in the eighties who read Sitchin’s 12th Planet and figured he knew what god expected of us but no one else knew. So he figured when this paranoid space alien from the 12th Planet returned in the near future, he would be chosen by this "god" to repopulate the Earth. So he decided to marry six vestal virgins for the privilege of continuing the human race through his seed.
In order to do this, he would travel to Asia to find his harem. He could not do it here because it is taboo to sell one’s minor daughter for a ghetto blaster to a dirty old man (he was 50 at the time). He did manage to marry a few young girls over there and he even managed to get a couple into Canada. All the women who knew him hated him for his chauvinist leanings.
He had this idea that in the eyes of god, only women could commit adultery so he was safe with a harem. He bought some land and started to built his little empire designed to please god to no end.
Anyway, I lost track of him when I moved down to the Kootenays from Quesnel in 1987. The point of this story is that you remind my of him. You are so sure you know what god expects of you and the rest of us are out to lunch and headed for eternal damnation. In other words - delusional.

Well Cliffy some verses don't even need any explanation, they mean just what they say. You obviously don't know what I believe even though I have stated it several times. Eternal damnation is for fallen angels, men go to hell for 1,000 years, that isn't so hard to grasp, I even gave you the reference verses sometime back. You don't believe me (that's okay, even I check up on what is thrown my way) You don't believe God via the verses I gave you to read (obviously). You believe only what you have managed to come up with. Who is the delusional one? I can at least provide a verse for my stance, you summarize with no references and you get it wrong. That last part doesn't matter if you believe God is real or not. That is strictly a read, think, summarize thing. That in no means you should understand it all on the first read, it may take 20 or more reads before it clicks. Spades thing about the lamb's blood wasn't a condemnation to hell, it was showing that some customs are no longer respected by God and if practiced the results will be the opposite from what is desired. Go ahesd and convince yourself having (religious) idols won't mean anything at one point in time. Go ahead and convince yourself that you control your destiny after you hit the grave. Religion (Christianity in particular)on this board is a joke at best, the religious threads are started by people who are out to put any/all religions down. More properly if you believe in Christ your are a stupid idiotic moron, at best. In situations like that where they post something in the 'humerous' catagory why not let me hhave a laugh by posting a verse that says their 'route' has consequences (in Scripture) that they may not have considered. If the blood obove the door was meant to bring a laugh it worked, I laughed, mission accomplished. If the words in the verse didn't make Spade (or you or anybody) laugh that's too bad but so what. Why are you even on any thread that has God, or Christian, or other words that would define the topic as being religious to some extent? I got your outlook on the 1st thread I saw you on.
