DJ just can't start a month without posting something stupid!

The Word "gospel" is never defined in any dictionary as "good news".

Online Etymology Dictionary

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=gospel&searchmode=none

gospel
O.E. godspel "good news," from god "good" + spel "story, message," translation of L. bona adnuntiatio, itself a translation of Gk. euangelion "reward for bringing good news." First element of the O.E. word had a long "o," but it shifted under mistaken assoc. with God. Gospel-gossip was Addison's word ("Spectator," 1711) for "one who is always talking of sermons, texts, etc."

Did you know the late Bruce Metzger was a Satanist and a Jesuit? Read on!

No hard feelings.

Metzger was a satanist, a secret member of the Jesuit cult.

If his opinion were an honest one, based on mere imprecision, or unscientific methodology, or if it were concerning an issue upon which there was plenty of room for diverse opinion, discussion, without any serious consequence, then I'd say, great. No harm done. Respect him all you wish, grant him every courtesy.

However, the case is somewhat different.

Metzger is no 'absent-minded professor' amicably chatting about an irrelevant and harmless subject, but a professional soldier and master propagandist in a full scale war against the text of Holy Scripture.

I know C.S. Lewis, and Metzger was no C.S. Lewis.

A better parallel would be Herr Goebbels, of the S.S. propaganda arm.

The Jesuit cult was condemned even by the Pope, as a scurrilous and evil organization, and characterized as anti-Christ.

The subject is not a mere academic curiosity, but the heart of the most important Gospel for Christian foundational beliefs.

There is little room for the amenities of tea and cookies around the academic fireplace. Hand to hand combat is the most appropriate paradigm for this situation.

Only the bulldog Churchhill, not the pussycat Chamberlain, can save us now.


Peace,
Nazaroo

Kenneth Humphreys, he's a permanent screwball no question.

After this DJ incident, I'm eagerly awaiting the May installment of Screwballs of the Month. Interestingly, he kept insisting he wasn't one and then did one of the most screwbally things of all.

This is no joke. It is not satire. It is the sickening truth. This is a picture of “The Soldier’s Bible,” part of a series of “military Bibles” being marketed by Holman Bible Outreach International, a division of Lifeway Christian Resources. Lifeway is the official publishing house of the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S.A. In addition to “the Soldier’s Bible,” the CSB Military Bibles include “the Airman’s Bible,” “the Marine’s Bible,” “the Sailor’s Bible,” and “the Coast Guard Bible,” each with covers in the distinct colors and insignia of the respective branch of the U.S. military. (There is also, I kid you not, a camoflauge edition!) According to this website, each edition includes not only the texts of the Old and New Testaments (Protestant canon), but the following features:

• The Star Spangled Banner
• America the Beautiful
• The Battle Hymn of the Republic
• Onward Christian Soldiers (I guess they missed the “marching as to war” lyrics and failed to understand that the hymn is meant to depict spiritual warfare along the lines of Ephesians 6:10-17 and is not talking about Christian participation in physical warfare at all.)
• The Pledge of Allegiance (to the U.S. flag and to “the Republic for which it stands”)
• The Plan of Salvation
• Scripture readings for all occasions (including the Sermon on the Mount, the Sermon on the Plain, Rom. 12?)
• Prayers of General George Patton and General/President George Washington! (Wait, wasn’t Patton well-known for believing that Christianity made men[sic] too soft for war? Didn’t he believe that he was reincarnated as an eternal warrior keeping the world safe for more wars? Wasn’t George Washington a Deist??)
• Quotes from President George W. Bush! (Is that like having a copy of the “Sayings of Chairman Mao?” Which quotes–”Mission accomplished?” “Iraq has weapons of mass destruction?”"God told me to smite Saddam and I did?”)
• Officer’s oath
• Enlisted personnel oath (I guess they are cutting out Jesus’ ban on oaths in Matt. 5:33-37.)

Did you see Jack Bauer's sigline?

I bet the entire "stevec's Constantine Conspiracy etc." thread would provide far more Screwballs than you need. But ever since around page 68 or so, he's been trying to argue that God's "resting" in Genesis 2:1 means that He was tired, thus He does not have infinite power.

Best argument ever: "You rest because you're tired, right? Well, God must have been tired!" (not actual quote)

I've been thinking about reading through that thread, but never quite worked up the motivation.

Jimbo defends Remsburg and implies Tacitus wasn't credible, because his work was anonymously written.

Dang but he earned that 2006 Platinum.

And I'd say shuny, carpe and gaytheist deserve part of the award too.

I'll pile on to Dimbo's award witha quote from his "Holding" hate site:

This is a new blog dedicated to "JP Holding." (NOTE: Since making this update, this blog has apparently been taken over by "JP Holding." This happened after the original owner of the blog was attacked on TWEB by "Holding" and others for being dishonest. The link above goes to a cached version of the blog. Here is "Holding's" new version.)

Now that's JPHOCD for you. Can you imagine if *I* had done what DJ had done, what Dimbo would make of it?

Wow! I can't tell who the screwball is. The idea of a "Soldier's Bible" is pretty screwbish, but the critique made some very common screwbish errors too (i.e., not understanding that Jesus did not condemn all oaths but only the careless oaths that people of the time were making).
