Comedy Goldmine XI: The Atlas Forum Demilitarized Zone

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

I encourage people to view other posts in the thread where he lambastes JSoujourner for the original analogy with ice cream where he (JS) described the Trinity as being like Neopolitan ice cream.

Hold it right there, soldier!

JSoujourner first came up with the icecream analogy.  I just altered it for the sake of peace.

You have to understand that I have four kids who fight with me over who's getting a fair share of the chocolate portion of a box of Neopolitan, so I know firsthand the DANGERS Neopolitan can bring to a peace loving family of Christians.

So, let no one cause me trouble over fearing the terror of Neopolitan, for I bear on my body the marks of spoons!

As you were, soldier!

to me, a more accurate analogy (though no analogy is going to fully work) would be to have an infinite and invisible tub of ice cream (it can be any flavor you want, though it must be a uniform flavor, not a mixture). 

Take a FINITE scoop of that icecream from the infinite and invisible tub and place it on a counter top so that you can better wrap your finite mind around it. You can discern the presence of the scoop ice cream spiritually, you can discern the location of the scoop (it's sitting on the countertop), and communicate with it, but you can't physcially see it.  You can consume the invisible ice cream so that it is inside of you and have a continuing relationship with it. - That's the Holy Spirit of God - God manifested spiritually.

Take ANOTHER FINITE scoop of that icecream from the infinite and invisible tub and place it in a bowl so that you can better wrap your finite mind around it. This bowl you are allowed to touch and handle, though the icecream is still invisible.  - That's Jesus Christ, God manifesting his spirit in the flesh (blow).

Jesus Christ, that FINITE scoop of icecream placed in a bowl, packaged so that it can be handled, is the EXACT representation of the uniform icecream in the infinite and invisible tub of icecream.

The Trinity is much more appealing when you think about it in the simple context of an infinite and invisible tub of ice cream.

Psalm 34:8 "Taste and see that the LORD is good"

Walked right into that one, didn't you?  Like shooting tuna in a barrel. 

I'm older and I'm smarter, you could learn something from me.

Sometimes I get a mental picture of forum posters, and for jmfcst it's of a guy clutching a Bible to his chest and rocking back and forth in his chair, grinning and mumbling quietly to himself.

Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe...Anytime you attempt to a decent portrayal of someone, you've got 50 ways you can screw up.  If you can think of 25 of them, you're a genius.  And you ain't no genius.

Now, I know I've shaken you up in the past, but that's no reason to continue to be disrespectful:

I don't really mind if admitting that I had no idea what jamfest was talking about makes me look like an idiot.  The fact is that his cryptic metaphors were worthless when not even provided within context, and I'm pretty confident that I wasn't the only one who didn't know what he was talking about.  I think my point is that he can easily say now that his 'prediction' was accurate or whatever, but so can astrologists whenever one of their vague or cryptic predictions actually comes true.

Ha ha, did you actually just dig up one of my old posts that emphasizes my point that you're a gibbering crackpot?  Nice.

no, I dug it up to emphesize the fact the refresh rate of your "mental picture" isn't the fastest on the forum; therefore, you should be careful attempting the following:

So, would you prefer to be seen by the forum as a crazy old lunatic who posts pictures of trains to somehow convey a prediction, or just as an ordinary crazy old lunatic?

I prefer the trains, they seem to do the most mental damage

no need, we can't fight in here.  See the sign?  It's a Demilitarized Zone

Oh man guys, if we're lucky, this could lead to a regional conflict and then Armageddon and Jesus will come back! Hooray!

no, it goes something like this: 
1. regional conflict
2. rebuilding of Temple
3. revealing of AntiChrist
4. world war III
5. AntiChrist makes peace and seems insurmountable
6. AntiChrist declares himself God and sets up Mark of the beast, beginning the Great Tribulation
7. killing of Christians  (I'll probably be killed, so you'll like that)
8. Jesus appearing in clouds visible to entire world and rapture of Church and the start of the outpouring of the Wrath of God (you won't like this part)
9. destruction of Mystery Babylon (probably America)
10. Armageddon, as AntiChrist assembles all the world's armies to the middle east to fight Jesus
11. Jesus' physical return and beginning of 1000 year reign from Jerusalem.

This all makes sense until step 9. Probably America? Psh.

you think I should strike out the word "probably"?
