You know, it's pretty hard to hold down a regular job or keep a
relationship together if you're engaged in all these activities you
seem to think us "sinners" are constantly engaged in. You are like
Chicken Little, calm the ***** down. We don't need your panic stricken
warnings to keep our lives together.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for
the desires of the flesh.

Does that sentence actually mean something?

It means bind yourself with the I Am, and you will be all you can be.
He will do everything you do, and life will be abundant.

Great. Translating gibberish into different gibberish. That was a big
help. Can anyone translate gibberish into English?

The life you're trying to keep together will end, and of what use will
your sinful pursuits be to you? Just eternal damnation. Instead,
live your life for Christ.

that job.

No.

Let's review the Ten Commandments:

11 Obey what I command you today. I will drive out before you the
Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 12
Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where
you are going, or they will be a snare among you. 13 Break down their
altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.
[a] 14 Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous God.

15 "Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land;
for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to
them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices. 16 And
when you choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons and
those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will lead
your sons to do the same.

17 "Do not make cast idols.

18 "Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days eat bread
made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time
in the month of Abib, for in that month you came out of Egypt.

19 "The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all
the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 20
Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it,
break its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons.
"No one is to appear before me empty-handed.

21 "Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest;
even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.

22 "Celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat
harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. [b] 23
Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign
LORD, the God of Israel. 24 I will drive out nations before you and
enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up
three times each year to appear before the LORD your God.

25 "Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything
containing yeast, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the
Passover Feast remain until morning.

26 "Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of
the LORD your God.
"Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk."

27 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write down these words, for in
accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with
Israel." 28 Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights
without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets
the words of the covenant-the Ten Commandments.


1. Just the other day, I made a pact with some Perizzites, Hivites,
and even a Jebusite. I haven't attacked their altars or even cut
down their Asherath poles.
2. I thanked Ceres for my breakfast.
3. I didn't make a cast idol, but I made one out of Play Doh.
4. I did not celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
5. He ain't about to get my kids. He can have all the kittens my
cat just had if he wants them, though.
6. I worked this weekend.
7. I don't even know what the Feast of Weeks is and I'm not
celebrating it, unless of course I can get drunk off my ***** and go to
a tittie bar to celebrate it.
8. I didn't do a sacrifice, so I guess I'm okay there.
9. I seethed a goat in its mother's milk a couple of days ago.
Well, not really, but I had a pepperoni pizza.


So I haven't kept the ten commandments. Thanks for asking

Except at mass, when you're expected to eat him. Nice religion.
