Sure! I read your posts...

Busily? :-)

Which I have not seen, nor care to. She didn't release that movie...

I speak from attendance...

  The Baptist denominations you mention, no way!

Way.


 The

The one I went to (for a while) did.

  As far as cites, please give some which

-> Mark 16:17-18.

A fine declaration, buttressed by Acts example...


 I don't think your little goddess-thingie will be
-> very happy with your paucity of knowledge in this matter...

I think you just made two errors.

As for my 'paucity of knowledge'... all come 'short of the glory of God'...

I'm workin' on it....


  You might
-> want to start with the Wikipedia articles on "Snake Handling" and on
-> "Church of God with Signs Following".

No thanks...I'll take the Jerome Biblical commentary and
Bultman's New Testament theology...
-> 
-> You know, you really should visit the US more often.  Might learn a bit.

That's a dumb remark.
-> 
Ever stay in Canada? Learn anything?

on

dictionary,

there's

-> 
->  JO> Perhaps you could concentrate of content rather than form.
-> 
-> Bad form distracts from and dulls the intended message of good
content...

Not as much as snide remarks...

-> It is hard to take seriously the recommendation of a person who thinks

-> all strive for good quality in both form and content.

There are better things for which to strive...

My affability (which is considerable) is continusally tested
by pretense of certitude, by inaccurate labeling me....what arrogance.

Since when is condescension  'good form'?


-> 
->  JO> Dialog with a lessening of snide.
-> 
-> Snide can be fun, and is a cut above base rudeness.

Obviously your opinion the which I do not share.

->

->

of

->

That must be a new motto for you.

Hold that thought.

I too so hope.

Perhaps Republicans will retrieve their party. 

-> 
-> I think I saw in Rasmussen today from Saturday's results - Harry Reid
-> and Scooter Libby have identical 'favorable' ratings, both at 19%.
Reid ain't no hero of mine. Neither is Libby.
From whence I wonder did that 19% come from?
