And a little soft porn:

Ezekiel 23
"8. Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.
...
20. For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21. Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth."

With all the talk about bigotry today, it reminded me of another scripture from the Bible!

Today we read form Matthew chapter 15.

"15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour."

Isn't wonderful to know that God has his favorite children? But if you're not one of his favorite children do not fear! He considers you a dog. Man's best friend! Isn't God a bigot.. I mean great. Isn't God great?
Here's praying that you're one of God's chosen people!

I distinctly remember that a seminary teacher once tried to claim that the "dog" Jesus refers to was actually the Hebrew word for a type of cute little puppy that families kept as pets.

Does anyone else know anything about this?

Matthew chapter 15.

I distinctly remember that a seminary teacher once tried to claim that the "dog" Jesus refers to was actually the Hebrew word for a type of cute little puppy that families kept as pets.

as far as I know, seminary teachers, bishops and GAs are noted fror greek, hebrew and aramaic knowledge. Roman Catholic priests want to overtake and outstrip them with 4-5-6 year full time seminary.

by the way seminary - as many other words in the boundary of Mormonism - was raped/prostituted.

I, for one, am absolutely enthralled by the discussion of these two brilliant theologians.

Don't know how to deal with a problem child?
Look no further then the Bible...

Deuteronomy 21
 

18 ¶If a man have a astubborn and rebellious son, which will not bobey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

 19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto athe gate of his place;

 20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

 21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

I am the LORD your God, and I love the words "utterly destroy~" and I use it over and over again, times without number.

Exodus 22
20. He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

Numbers 21
2. And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3. And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.

Deuteronomy 2
34. And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:

Deuteronomy 3
6. And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.

Deuteronomy 7
2. And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:

Deuteronomy 12
2. Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:

Deuteronomy 13
15. Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

Deuteronomy 20
17. But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:

Joshua 2
10. For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

Joshua 6
21. And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

Joshua 8
26. For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of A.I..

I got tired. There are 10 utterly destroy left in Joshua only, and this is only the sixth book of Old Testament.
There are fiftysome more I don't cite because enough is enough.

For optimist readers: in the New Testament nobody should utterly destroyed.
