rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18770 | This guy was killed last year while trying to bring the word of god to an isolated tribe. What do you think this tribes beliefs are? ~~~~ After that initial contact, some of the guys went spear fishing and caught what they call “cutt-a-la,” a grouper or sea bass with big lips—they caught two and each weighed about 30lbs. After first going poop in the water, I built the kayak and we put the two fish on top and, inside, my small pelican. [That] contained pencils, my contact response kit (for arrow wounds), abdominal pads, chest seal, dental forceps for arrow removal, picture cards, multivitamins, multitools (including one my brother gave as a groomsmen gift that has my name engraved on it) and, unfortunately, my passports. I had my waterproof Bible and some gifts: scissors, tweezers, safety pins, fishing line, hooks, cordage, rubber tubing and my new Speedo towel. I set off toward the north shore. As I got closer, I heard whoops and shouts from the hut. I made sure to stay out of arrow range and as they (about 6) yelled at me, I tried to parrot their words back to them. They burst out laughing. Probably were saying bad words or insulting me. Then two dropped their bows and took a dugout to meet me. I kept a safe distance and dropped off the fish and gifts. At first they poled their dugout past the gifts and were coming at me, then they turned and grabbed the gifts. I paddled after them and exchanged more yells. Here’s where this nice meet and greet went south. A child and a young woman came behind the two gift receivers with bows drawn. I kept waving my hands to say “no bows” but they didn’t get the memo, I guess. By this time the waves had picked up and the kayak was getting near some shallow coral. The islanders saw that and blocked my exit. Then the little kid with bow and arrow came down the middle. I figured that this was it, so I preached a bit to them, starting in Genesis and disembarked my kayak to show them that I too have two legs. I was inches from [an] unarmed guy (well-built with a round face, yellowish pigment in circles on his cheeks, about 5ft 5") and gave him a bunch of the scissors and gifts. Then they took the kayak. Then the little kid shot me with an arrow, directly into my Bible which I was holding in front of my chest. I grabbed the arrow shaft as it broke on my Bible (on pp 933, Isaiah 63:5–65:2). The head was metal, thin but very sharp. They left me alone as I half-waded, half-swam through the broken coral to the deep where I knew their dugouts couldn’t reach [then] swam almost a mile back to the boat. Although I now have no kayak nor my small pelican and its contents, I’m grateful that I still have the written word of God. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Where. It's certainly not the Bible. That's written totally by men. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

This has always been one of the reasons the Catholic Church has been against IVF. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Going back and reading some of my posts from years ago, I was making so much sense. Good for me.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | This from the same guy who doesn't grasp the meaning of universe, thinks the material universe is eternal even when shown scientific reasons it cannot be, and believes in reincarnation. I loved your answer recently when asked why you believe the universe is obviously eternal. You said because it was obvious. Good for you. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

I'm having the greatest time reading my own posts. I forgot how smart I was a few years ago. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
