- My sentiments *exactly* Mr. Locklin. I was merely pointing out the
- fact that someone of the "non-Christian" faith was trying to prove
- his point by referencing the Bible - which we all know is not valid
- in the realm of alt.satanism :-)
-
- Also, if you are going to rebut my post, I would ask you to please
- keep to that context to which the post was written in. My post
- was not meant to use the Bible as proof, but to correct someone
- who was misusing it in the first place.
-
-
- >>(oh yeah, and look at the gnostic gospels if you want info on that
- >>Jesus charachters sexual habits)
-
-
- Excuse me for being the one for a quick answers - rather than rereading
- all the gospels before this discussion ends - but could you please
- provide some references so that we may talk on common grounds.

-
-
- And neither is it here on alt.satanism :-)

- >>To the Shuggoths with you...

- ("mis-quote-animous" - sounds like something from a roadrunner cartoon.)
-
-
- My love to all of you in Christ Jesus, Amen.
