Hey, where’d he go?
I sold my soul to Satan for a dollar. I got it in the mail.
He’s my favourite deity.

The only one of those I’m not guilty of is Sloth, and that’s because I’m too busy doing the other six.

ok first all is that the whole point there is a satan is cause he aspired to be like god. there for Satan Did what god did the “7 deadly sins” and god cast him out for he’s a jeslous god.

And no, the ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ are not in the Bible as such. They’re sins–like alllll the others–and, to add to Libertarian’s poignant post, the mortal/venial line was toed in the dirt by the Roman Catholic church, not by God, save for ‘the sin that cannot be forgiven, the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit,’ which cannot be forgiven simply because those who do so don’t believe in Divine forgiveness. Plain and simple.

didn’t you know that if the Cathloic church Makes a law or rule like the “7 deadly sins” that god will Follow it. its a strange rule that bascily says that god will do what the chruch says. ask your minster/father or whatever about it they will have more info then i would. there u go Pariah

I think the assumption that his own thoughts would be thoughtful is perhaps unwarranted. Methinks a little more lurking is in order before he goes after the Christians here in GD…
My mistake, Gaudere. I meant to include the caveat: “If you don’t have any original thoughts, bug off.”

ok Gaudere/andros, most of the post i have seen are other opioins just because i agree with what he said doesn’t mean i have to put them in my own words.
Bzzzzzt! I’m sorry, you must phrase your answer in the form of English. I have no idea where you got the idea that God sins. I have no idea where you got the idea that Satan (in whatever guise) committed any of the “Seven Deadly Sins.” The Morningstar (about whom I assume you’re talking) rebelled against God and was cast down. No gluttony, sloth, et al. involved.
Whoopee. You watched Dogma. I’m so proud of you. You’re still wrong. For the moment I’ll forego a lecture on Papal Infallability and ex cathedra inerrancy and just say the theology in Dogma was tortured at best, actively wrong at worst.
Geez, Gaudere, even this guy thinks we’re the same person. Phaedrus, that you? :rolleyes:
No, you don’t have to think for yourself. You don’t have to put things in your own words.
Now turn off the computer–Pokemon is coming on and you don’t want to miss it.

Judging by that sample, maybe he shouldn’t try to put ideas into his own words. When he plagarizes others at least it parses.
Just for shits and gigles, I did the Babelfish trick–“English” to French to English.
Actually turned out to be more readable, IMO.
Allow me to quote my Bible, on the subject of “Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.”
First, here is the text in which we find the unpardonable sin:
The words of Jesus, “He who is not with me is against me, and he who gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven, but the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man (i.e. Jesus) will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age, or in the age to come.” Matthew 12:30-32
And now the article:
This was taken from the Full Life Study Bible NIV.
To add something to the article, you cannot blaspheme the Spirit, if you do not know Him. You must first be a Christian, who starts on that path, leading to those steps mentioned above. I don’t think anyone on this board has anything to worry about. There is still hope for all of you.

But there are a number of things taking my time right now, and my participation for a while will be curtailed. Don’t worry, my child, I will still be watching over you, just probably not posting as much (I want to give Satan and Handy a chance to get ahead of me in post count).

The Holy Spirit is a “He”?
Um … how does one tell?
Tracer: I know that was partly sarcasm. Paul writes, …“the Holy Spirit came on them, as he came on us at the beginning.” Acts 11:15
I don’t suppose the Spirit actually has a gender, but since Paul said “He,” I’ll say “He.”
“Life is hard…but God is good”
Better answer than I would have given, Adam. “Fight sarcasm with sarcasm.” E.g., well, he was responsible for the begetting of Jesus on Mary, wasn’t he. That says “him” to me! 
Random Holy Spirit factoid: In portrayals of the “conception” part of the Virgin Birth bit, the Holy Spirit is shown as either a golden ray or a dove (or both) going into Mary’s ear. Just imagine what the paintings would have looked like if the impregnation had been shown occuring in the, uh, “usual” body part! But anyway, that’s why a nun’s wimple covers her ears; they were considered to be “sexual organs” (at least for Christians) at the time the costume was made up, so you couldn’t be pious and leave 'em hanging out in the breeze for everyone to see.
Interesting tidbit.
My favorite rendering of the Immaculate Conception was from Franco Zeffirelli’s Jesus of Nazareth. It was about five or ten minutes of utter quiet and serenity.
I do hope you’re not saying the “Immaculate Conception” was when Mary got preggers by ol’ H.S., Libby… 
Tracer, in order to determine the sex of the holy Spirit, one does what is always done. Flip the little mother over and look closely.

Oooh, good catch, Gaudere. Hoist him on his own petard.
Aural sex?

Like I said before, I’m a renegade I guess.
