I'm not going to go through the posts, but I remember one in
which
you waxed eloquently about your great IQ.

Matthew, for one, got you on it, because you dishonored your
earthly Father in the process.

That was one of the worst posts I've ever read on any
newsgroup.

And speaking of slander, you do it to me and other
non-Calvinists
constantly. In almost every post you make, at least towards
us.

If you do respond as usual, and deny this, I will look up
the post
and post is for all to see again.

I will repeat what you snipped and ignored. It is a legitimate point,

Wasn't John so proud of his closeness to Christ? Look up the word
[poor] in John's gospel and see how many times it is found. In a
quick search I found just four, and none were spoken by Christ! And
three of those, John 12, had to do with Judas' complaint of not
selling the ointment for the sake of the poor. The other verse was
also not from Christ, and also involved Judas, in an odd way. When
Christ said "Go, and do it quickly.", the others thought, since Judas
had the moneybag, Christ had told him to get something for the feast,
or give something to the poor. I'm thinking that even may have been a
Jewish tradition at feasts, and not something particularly Christ did.

This is unusual treatment of the poor by John, compared to other
writings. Since it is unusual then I at least think to consider it as
prophecy. And it is that other's teachings on the poor might be a
_betrayal_ of the Gospel. From the evidence available to us all, this
is not a difficult consideration for me. And telling me I "don't
listen to God" is no answer, at all. You have refused to listen to
the evidence, which is of God.

The Bible's treatment of the poor (or more specifically, taking money
from Christians) is spurious, and at times even vicious. Especially
referring to the execution of Ananias and Saphira as recorded by Luke.
He treated it as if it were for a 'lie,' though obviously for the sake
of belongings, _ALL_ of a property. I reject Luke, and that story
completely. B
