G'day mate, hope you're well brother Rodney.

And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
(John 11:49-52)

Plus the costs of recording to 8-track must be in the sky by now. Such a big market for them.

By cracky, if'n Obama said them Russkis done attacked them democrats in the 2016 campaign, and he said so soon after that Clinton lady lost, then it must be them dad-gum Russkis done attacked them. Guess that Obama fella didn't know it until after the election for some dad-blame reason.

When John the apostle saw the glorified Christ, he "fell at his feet as dead." (Rev. 1:17)

There was not a greater prophet than John the Baptist, who said, "There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose." (Mark 1:7)

You say God is "cool". Do you not see the discrepancy?

Rodney, bless you! You will have a great day and many great days to come!

As for my days, that is in His hands, not yours:

Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; (Job 14:5)

God you are... cool!

You really should quit using mundane language to refer to Almighty God. He is not your equal. He is your Creator. Show some respect.

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. (Psalms 50:21)

Now I'm picturing gonzo Dave sitting in a little, dark closet surrounded by empty cans of the Aussie "delicacy", with stains all over his donkey fur vest and smeared all over his face as he opens yet another can to stick his fingers in and scoop another bite.

Rodney, if you decide to follow Ezra and have your meetings outdoors, that's good by me.

Ha! I don't think so bro. After all, not having to buy chairs means more dosh for tracts, doesn't it? Have you seen the price of church chairs today?

So you can think of the words you are singing, of course.

The Word is very clear on this. If you are having problems with it, you need to study, you need to pray and you need to seek the Lord's will in the matter.
Mark 16:14-17
14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

"They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

Dave, I understand your rage. I mean, look...here I am, educated, unnaturally handsome, physically proportioned, and I have everything going for me as everyone looks on in envy.
Then there's you, you poor kid. Sitting on a park bench surrounded by your aluminium can filled shopping carts with missing wheels, tattered cardboard sign which reads, "Can you spare a nickel,
mate", only all the words are spelled wrong, and your days are spent swatting away the pigeons trying to perch on your nose.
I feel your pain, so you call me whatever you please if it brightens your day even for a moment. Poor fella.

It is written and the Lord Jesus Himself said in Mark 16:15-17 that one of the evidences of being one of His believers is speaking in tongues...

Now here's what Jesus had to say about identifying a true believer:

"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." (John 13:35)

Well Rodney in this instance, no a dag is not worse than a nong.
A dag is goofey nong.
A nong is a simple dag, you know a bit touched by the not so smart stick, although in Christopher's case, when he fell out of the tree, he hit every branch on his way down, do he's a special kind of touched on the head, know what I mean?
