Rant of the Day

"Thou shalt use nice words to pervert the Truth!"
Well, first of all, I want to make it clear I am not into gay bashing or hating them as people. They just mystify me somewhat. Not too long ago, I had two female friends who were a couple, we lost contact through changing circumstances etc. But when I last heard from them, they had had two children. And when they said "we are going up the sperm bank" it sounded like other people saying they were popping to the local supermarket. The two children tho different ages, had one father, (the donor for each was the same man) and two mothers. It was a real "odd set-up" and they weren't the kind of women who you couldn't tell were women to look at them. In fact at the club where I met them, most of the men till they knew she batted for the other side were chatting her up.
But we know what God says regarding homosexuality.
Genesis 13
13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD.
Romans 1
2
4Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Though they know God's decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
And have often wondered how the term "gay" came about to be used as a colloquial regarding homosexuals. I had no idea till very late in life that "gay" meant anything other than happy, glad etc. And so today did a bit of digging on this word: And it seems that even using the word gay inappropriately to refer to homosexuals can be seen as inappropriate and bigotted. This world is P.C. (not computers) gone mad! Tis a bit like when me and my brother were kids... both of ethnic origin. And they had the gollywogs on jars of jam. I also had a huge stuffed golly wog (negro doll) exactly the same as the one above, and didn't think a thing about the racial connotations. And then years and years down the line, they are now teaching our children too, that to sing ba ba black sheep is also racially offensive. Is it any wonder that people get touched by insanity in one way or another, with such obvious extremes of DO NOT OFFEND ANYONE! God siad to Love our neighbours as ourselves, and quite rightly. But he didn't say to mollycoddle anyone into feeling offended at the slightest casual remark that has no offense in it. No wonder the world is going to hell in a hand-basket, when everyone is so worried about upsetting someone when there is no real cause. And no one is very worried at all about bringing judgment down upon us. Now that's something to worry about.
And we worry about being offensive by using incorrect terms, yet allow the legal murder of millions of unborn children, and hardly bat an eye... something don't computerize methinks!
Definitions from American Heritage Dictionary.
gay (gā)
adj. gay·er, gay·est
1. Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.
2. Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry.
3. Bright or lively, especially in color: a gay, sunny room.
4. Given to social pleasures.
5. Dissolute; licentious.
n.
1. A person whose sexual orientation is to persons of the same sex.
2. A man whose sexual orientation is to men: an alliance of gays and lesbians.
Usage Note: The word gay is now standard in its use to refer to homosexuals, in large part because it is the term that most gay people prefer in referring to themselves. Gay is distinguished from homosexual primarily by the emphasis it places on the cultural and social aspects of homosexuality as opposed to sexual practice. Many writers reserve gay for males, but the word is also used to refer to both sexes; when the intended meaning is not clear in the context, the phrase gay and lesbian may be used. Like the other names of social groups derived from adjectives (for example, Black), gay may be regarded as offensive when used as a noun to refer to particular individuals, as in There were two gays on the panel; here phrasing such as gay members should be used instead. But there is no objection to the use of the noun in the plural to refer collectively either to gay men or to gay men and lesbians, so long as it is clear whether men alone or both men and women are being discussed. See Usage Note at homosexual.
to persons of the same sex.
n. Usage Problem
A homosexual person; a gay man or a lesbian.
Usage Note: Many people now avoid using homosexual because of the emphasis this term places on sexuality. Indeed, the words gay and lesbian, which stress cultural and social matters over sex, are frequently better choices. Homosexual is most objectionable when used as a noun; here gay man and gay woman or lesbian and their plural forms are called for. It is generally unobjectionable when used adjectivally, as in a homosexual relationship, although gay, lesbian, or same-sex are also available for adjectival use. See Usage Note at gay.

Working on a list of rules for potential employees
I'm just getting by business off the ground, and have had a few students telephone me looking for work experience. So, with that in mind, are working on a list of rules to keep my employees happy. Impressive huh? Have only got two done thus far:
HOLIDAYS:-
Each employee is entitled to 104 holidays. These will be called Saturday and Sunday.
ABSENCE DUE TO YOUR OWN DEATH:-
This will be accepted as a reasonable excuse for absence. However, we require two weeks notice as you are expected to train your replacement.

Dumb people...
Well, dim people are often fun to be around. And they make oneself feel far less stupid than one actually is! You actually believe you are nowhere near three French fries short of a happy meal at all!
Dim Bulb?
In 1802, Immanuel Kant discharged the man (named Lampe) who had faithfully served him for many years. He proved unable, however, to dismiss Lampe from his mind.
The troubled philosopher finally entered a memorandum in his notebook: "Remember," it read, "from now on the name of Lampe must be completely forgotten."

When I read this first, several months ago, it appealed to me big time. So, thoguht I would share it here. If it misses its mark, tis probably cos I'm not a scholar!

A: No, I was shot midway between the fracas and the navel.

Computers... hate 'em or love 'em
I've always hated to be around technophobes. Not sure why, guess in my mind it showed a distinct relucatance towards progression of technology. And probably for no other reason, than at least the ones I know, dislike technology for disliking sake. They were people who disliked change and refused to think abuot change in themselves too! Or their lives.
But computers... I have a love hate relationship with them. If they go wrong and I can't fix it, I hate 'em. But when they are doing precisely what they are supposed to do, love 'em. They save me endless hours and often let me do things would not be able to otherwise do at all.
And I "hate" (term used loosely) people who have computers, and they have had one a while, and if they get a problem expect someone else... i.e a friend to fix it, when often its their own lack of taking care that has made it sick in the first place. Not being virus protected, not doing computer maintenace etc. I have spent hours of my life, working on friends computers like this, and begrudge that time now gone. As if they'd have used the computer at the top of their body, it mostly would not have happened.

Darwin's Muddle
>
Actually, tho I spoke of Charles Darwin yesterday, admit to being absurdly ignorant of his theories, except he was the leader of the evolution theory. But, having read some about him in a B.B. Warfield book, the thing that stood out to bop me on the nose, (ouch!) was how when he was theorizing, and he was corresponding with a Christian guy he knew, when trying to think through his theory vs the Biblical account of creation, he wrote multiple times, "I'm in a dreadful muddle" in his making sense of anything. Think that says everything.

Talking of Bill Clinton
Not that we were...BUT we are NOW and was earlier!!
Being a Brit, I love irony. Tho my comprades here tell me it is lost on Americans' for their undrestanding it. I'm sure most folks can see this point:
Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs,
and Hillary got $8 million for hers.
That's $20 million for two people, who for eight years,
repeatedly testified they couldn't remember anything.

Still searching for Proof of saneness
I went to this web site with some feeble hope of passing the test and being declared "sane" A machine knows better than man right? And the result I got, and I quote is, "We are very concerned about your lack of sanity"
I am determined to prove I'm sane before I die! Which realisically may not be that long a while!! So, I better get a m ove on and continue my search. I feel a bit like David Banner... in the Incredible Hulk, searching for an anti-dote for his radiation which made him turn into the Incredible Hulk. I liked Bill Bixby as mild Mannered David Banner.
But then I always did go for the under-dog. When the odds were against them, and were essentially nice folk. And didn't dislike the jolly green giant either!

The Sanctity of Marriage (rant for the day)
Tuesday, March 23, 2004
I had a T.V. programme on earlier I was half-watching, and at some point there was a wedding ceremony. And the vicar's words rather surprised me. As it was a modern thing. I don't recall exactly but it went along the lines of: Marriage is one man and one woman, etc, etc, and no one else can enter into it, as said in the Laws of our land. Well, I don't know the current legislation here regarding men "marrying" men and women "marrying" women. Or men "marrying" women that were once men, or women"marrying" men that were once women. But I do know at least several years ago, that it rather depended on the leader of a church, as to if he would conduct such a ceremony, so it may have progressed, (ir one can call it that) since then. But far from it being ias stated in the law of the land, as homosexuality is NOT illegal. But tis against God's law. And there are very specific references as to how God hates and abhorred this sin, in Genesis and Romans 1.
But when one gets men of the clergy themselves, making such a mockery of God, and the laws of Nature, suchas here:
Rev Peter Stone and again,
Mark Savage makes you realize how man will go to any lengths to justify themselves and alter the words of Scripture. I actually had a long email discussion with a personal friend at the time about a year or so ago, who was using this site,
Religious intolerance to say why "according to the Bible homosexuality was ay ok!" I'm sure God is just reeling and a dancing at how we know what He meant which is not what He meant at all, and how we pervert the Scriptures to suit ourselves. The Pharisees and the Saducees did this, tho to the other extreme, they added laws that were not laid down by God. Man has always thought we know the mind of God, and what He says isn't what He actually means. A good kind, God, will bear with us, and let us do just what we want, but If'we're nicer than your average Joe's and don't' set out to hurt other people are fairly decent, we just work our way into Heaven by our goodness and niceness. The Papists still propogate this, under the guise of Christ. But Popery, (a nice word methinks) thinks they are the final authority in what Scripture teaches, and not the Holy Spirit which indwells every true believer. If we can do just about anything we like, and get to Heaevn anyway, why do Christians who were once lost, pray to God and worship His name, knowing He is there God, and not a God who will accept anyone no matter what? This verse in itself, says just how many professing Christians will fall short on Judgment Day, and they too will hear He never knew them, before they are cast down into the lake of fire:
The Narrow and Wide Gates
Matthew 7
13
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it,
14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
If being as nice or as good as the next person, earned our way to Heaven, then not many people would be left behind.
And so to the papists, and the whore of Babylon, and to anyone who argues with these words.. suchas His popeness only being able to inerpret the Sciptures and thinking the narrow gate above is not talking to how God lays down who gets to have eternal life and who has eternal death. I wonder if the Pope has more brains than me, huh? Not saying much since the guy has Parkinson's is it? That the Roman Church is relying on someone to say exactly "what God meant" who maybe too fuddled through illness much of the time to even know what time of day it is!
One of the closing lines in the Canon of the NT in the final book of Revelations: 18
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. 19And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
Marriage is sacred. God instituted it. The family is an institution. And I do know at least that the words let no man put assunder come into the marriage service, but that's exactly wht man is trying to do, in his knowing what God did and didn't mean and perverting the Scriptures to his own ends. We all have a tendency to see things how we want to see them. I know I do. But we all have to look into our own hearts to see what our motives may be for any thing. We need revival. For the Spirit of God to move upon our lands. As I have heard a lot of stuff about revival lately. And even those who lived through it, yet remained unconverted, knew and could NOT argue, that something supernatural had happened. That God was at work. They admitted it, and knew it was true, yet couldn't probably take it further than that. But no one who has lived through revival, whether converted or unconverted remains unchanged. How could one.. when one almost comes face to face with God. When most of us only probably expect to in eternity.
Oh, and I just wanted to say, that the Babylonian Whore has no resemblance to Dolly Parton in Best little whorehouse in Texas!

Tis Ridikerous!!
"Its a free world," is the single most dumb saying I have ever heard. A great price was paid for this world, to save it from sin. And if it was a "free world" why are there so many countries that still hold there people in bondadge and slavery? Hmmm?
Of course, we would expect that kind of comment from the venerable Tony Blair, P.M. Such a nice guy... so he'd have you believe. One never can tell when he's fibbing as he does that supercillious smile!! I recall when Billy Boy Clinton was running for U.S. President, I said I do not like or trust that guy, he reminds me too much of John Kennedy, and we all know the road he took America down. Sex, lies and videotape. Okay, so, I'm sorry, the guy was killed. But would be a hypocrite to say something nice about him which I do not believe just cos of that fact. He left a leagacy that went further than the space race. He altered the way public figures were seen by their public. Was it for the better? Hmm... well, given this was forty years ago, times have changed, but not for the better. The age or liberalism, and ism's in general. Times change yet God is the same.
If you want to be free, then give yourself away!! And don't' put tickets on yourself, none of us are worth a dime in literal terms.
tonyBLAIRpm It's a free world. Well in all of the world except the bits me and DUBYA are planning to invade.

Are you in Love?
Well, if I understood the question, I may know!! I was in love once... when I was six!! There name was G Webb, (name protected for there sake, of it ever become public knowledge they were attached to a crazy Calvinist!) and they were the only other kid, anywhere near as small as I!
Take the
Are you in Love Test.... tis a real mind boggling eye opener! Well, guess it is. Am still trying to find out the real meaning of the word.
From dictionary.com: love ( P ) Pronunciation Key (lv)
n.
A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.
Sexual passion.
Sexual intercourse.
I would like to ask here, what has sex got to do with love? Huh?
A love affair.
An intense emotional attachment, as for a pet or treasured object.
A person who is the object of deep or intense affection or attraction; beloved. Often used as a term of endearment.
An expression of one's affection: Send him my love.
A strong predilection or enthusiasm: a love of language.
The object of such an enthusiasm: The outdoors is her greatest love.
Love Mythology. Eros or Cupid.
often Love Christianity. Charity.
Sports. A
Love is one of those great mysteries of life methinks. You never know what it is till its too late, and then you've either fallen out of love already, (sheesh this world is so fickle!) or, too afraid to take the step to commitment in the firsr place. (tho I have been committed several times... the mental health clinics still have my records!) I think the question "what is love?" is a bit like asking, "How long is a piece of string?"
I do love tho. I love my Lord and Saviour, a few people, (I don't have a lot to go around, so have to keep the numbers down!) and dogs, and animals in general. And chocolate milk shakes. And KFC's. So, I guess I could fall in love with a chocolate covered chicken!
Take the test tho, its the last rule on the question, "Are you in love?"

Hey You!! Sign up!
(I love weird and wonderful)
Any of my online friends, who is ever the first to hear I have popped my cloggs, then please inform the rest of the folks via this!!
Died Online
Posters adorning post office walls often read, "WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE." They conjure up visions of the wild west. Even if it's not your picture on the poster and you are not "wanted," a vital question remains. Are you dead or alive?
"Why that's silly," you say. "Of course I'm alive. I would not be sitting here reading this article if I were not alive." But you could be dead and not even realize it. Your conscience could be dead. Your heart could be dead to the real feelings of His love! You could be dead to saving understanding about the Creator. This is in fact the way the Bible talks about people who do not trust the sacrifice of God's Son for forgiveness of their sins. "You were dead in your trespasses and sins" (Ephesians 2:1).
On the other hand, the Bible says something wonderful about those cleansed from sin. "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ" (Ephesians 2:4-5).
God does not want you dead or alive; He wants you ALIVE."

The Tower of Babel
1
Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
9
That is why it was called Babel -because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Well, Dawin would no doubt be happy now, to think his theories were still get expounded, if he were alive. But he's probably not too happy right now, if we assume to know where he likely is right now. Not in Heaven would be my best guess, but only a guess.
But, I used to be, (in fact still am a bit) love reading and watching things about Dinosaurs. Some of them are cute!! I loved the series, of the B.B.C's
Walking with Dinosaurs. And up until not that long ago, thought they were almost as old as me! Billions of years old. Then found the truth, and major oops.
But, when one reads stories like this:
Lunar Mountain has eternal light How could anyone possibly think we as a species and everything on this earth and the Heavens and stars all got here by "accident"? Tis a mystery! Tis a mystery at the awesomeness of God, how by His breath we are here and sustained, tis even more a mystery, how any one boasts of such madness as to say "oh, we all arrived via the big bang" Well, I thought the big bang was a pile up on the motorway/freeway, but probably if I'd have understood it, would have thought that too, as we get brainwashed by the system. I got brainwashed another way, but are glad they left that bit out!!
Psalm 19 [NIV]
1
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard. [1]
4 Their voice [2] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world. Full chapter can be read at

Take the googlism challenge
Monday, March 22, 2004
Well, I found, this site, quite silly!! But you know how those silly things in life turn into something one just must do? I took the Googlism challenge and you can put in a name, a place a date and one more option that for the moment has poofed right out of me head. So, this date has significance in my life to some degree, so put it in. I didn't like the one that says "so far past you can't remember it" but, particuarly liked number 3! You get born, then people mess with you in all kinds of ways... they change the person you were, or who you would have been without there "help" To take the Googlism challenge yourself click the link:
