I don't recognize the words as meaning what you are trying to say.
You won't use correct dictionary English.
No connection at all.
I huess that is why this has been something I discerned shortly we began talking.

Democrips and rebloodicans.
Politics
Poly ticks
Many blood sucking bugs
I don't see the Democrats as worse than the Republicans, and in many ways they look worse because it looks like they are trying to overthrow the government, which I'm not convinced this isn't a terrible idea.
I'll live with whatever happens. Or not. Maybe if the commies take over they'll torture me to death. Whatever. I'm not scared to go out like a martyr.

I think what you are saying is clearer to me than it is to you.
Does that sound arrogant? You are the one arguing with the dictionary.
I don't know if there is a ball in the box. Maybe there is a ball in the box.
You insist on saying reject because you don't really care what words mean. So what is the deal?
Either you are too prideful to admit your use of language is sloppy...
Or
You really do mean reject, and are only leaving it open as a pretense to appear more reasonable....
But no, I think me leaving the answer open ended is very rational. I don't know what is in the box. Maybe there is a ball in the box. I don't reject that there is a ball in the box, neither do I accept that there is a ball in the box.
In fact, I have no good reason to care about what is in the box.

Thank you, my spouse busted out laughing after seeing this.

I can't possibly mean what I am saying, that would mean I am telling the truth.
No, everything I say must be some kind of code!
Really, the lengths people go in order to deny THE TRUTH.
I couldn't be more lucid. I speak the way I do to prove a point. The only. thing rejection does is solidify my faith because the prophets said it would be like this.

I have told you this from the very beginning....
...your superstitions are greatly the result of bad language.
You accuse me of using proper language to "obfuscate" what I'm saying...
Did it ever occur to you that maybe you might be a tad bit arrogant?
Definition of superstition courtesy Merriam-webster...
Full Definition
1 a : a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation
b : an irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural, nature, or God resulting from superstition
2 : a notion maintained despite evidence to the contrary

Definition of reject courtesy Merriam-webster...
to refuse to accept, consider, submit to, take for some purpose, or use
Rejecting is not the same as saying "I don't know, maybe"

I will grant that whoever is telling me this believes it.
I don't really know if there is even a ball in the box.
So maybe there is a ball in the box. Why not open the box?

My faith, my hope, is in The Truth. What survives my death? The Truth. What is eternal? The Truth.
My religion is to abide in The Truth. Eternal life is in The Truth.
"They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD."

No, I'm specifically saying that if you spend your life indulging the senses, eventually you will become numb to the pleasures they once gave you.
Paganism by nature is an indulgence of the lusts of mind and flesh.
I am telling you out of love that this will not ultimately be satisfying.

You are too prideful to say "I don't know", which is why you don't accept it as a valid option.
You lack the charity to believe that someone making a claim believes what they say.
You think you must either accept or reject a claim.
But.
No room for maybe.

"a round or roundish body or mass"
The dictionary does not say that a ball must be red.
But I never rejected the arbitrary definition that the box diviner made. The box diviner is responding to me in non sequiturs because the Op can't come to terms with the fact that his ball in a box parable is stupid.

The things in this world will not ultimately lead to satisfaction.
Only God can grant that peace that surpasses understanding.

I said I do not know, but I have no reason to doubt the sincerity of the one claiming there is a red ball in the box.
In other words, I believe that he believes what he is saying. I don't know what is in the box.
This guy then arbitrarily defines a ball as being red.
Since he is claiming that there is a red ball in there, that means there is a red red ball.
I ask if he also uses the term ATM Machine.
Then I am told to accept the definition of what a ball is.
What is the point that I'm getting out of all this?
The OP has gone mad.

I suspect the fake Tyrone is white and should not be allowed to say nigga
Good enough reason to ban the word entirely.
Besides that, it is disgraceful even for black people to use that word.
Grow up.
Last thing we need is a bunch of fake blacks running around to perpetuate this negative image of what it is to be black.
There are enough bullshit psy-ops going on against black people as it is.

Think more like, The Light of Truth. Unreality, like darkness, doesn't exist. The Truth, like light, casts away the darkness.
The Light shines in the darkness. The world may be covered in ignorance, illusion, and unreality, but no amount of this darkness can overcome The Truth, which is always there, shining like a star.
Some scriptures from chapters 1 of The Gospel of John and the Epistle of James respectively...
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."
And
"Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures."

I believed in God first.
Why did I join a group?
The same mission. Charity work.
I am not interested in churches that don't do charity work. As far as I am concerned, they are worthless churches.
Now we also do bible studies and such together that anyone is welcome to join. By the grace of God it is usually pretty edifying.
I would recommended the same. Join a group that puts their faith into action. Remember who the faith is in, God, not the group. Not any member of the group. Work together and even maybe learn from eachother.
I personally think this is a good approach.

You are asking this, but I don't see you having trouble understanding how to use English.
So there has to be something in common there.

@3RU7AL
At the very least, you can know The Truth by contemplating the name/word itself and what it must mean.
Even then knowledge of The Truth =/= The Truth. Just being aware of that is a check against the whole, "oh I studied about that already, I already know, I have nothing more to learn". Because we are all wrong.
Keeping it real is certainly more applicable in a practical sense than simply fabricating vain imaginings and rolling with it. I'm sure you agree.

Your friend can clean up the way they talk like everyone else who is used to speaking in vulgarities. It's got nothing to do with color.
And quit pulling the race card, it's assinine.

Not all black people find the use of this word appropriate even among black people.
It is an insulting word. What next? Why don't we just start calling each other motherfuckers as a term of endearment?
No, when I call you a bitch, I'm calling you my dog. Man's best friend.
What is this topic about? It's about the use of a word. It isn't about being black. I don't care what color you are, tha e word in question is an insulting word, and I don't think it is right that juvenile punk ass black culture is now somehow the representative of what black culture is. For real, how would you like it if your entire ethnic group was represented by the lowest and most reprehensible low life culture that can be seen practiced by it?
On TV they talk about black cards being revoked because you don't know what government cheese is. They will tell you that you talk white if you speak proper English. They will call you a race traitor if you don't fall within a certain political line.
Why? Because being black means that you have to fall in line with every negative stereotype of what that means so that the oppressors can pretend like they are accepting you for it.
It's total bullshit. And to you people who are falling for this crap so you can justify your under the cover racism, shame on you. You are part of the problem.
Ya'll racist. Ya'll need Jesus.

I am not saying any such thing.
What I am actually saying isn't really registering with you, because you are talking about knowledge and knowing things which has very little to do with my point.
Truth is not contingent on knowledge. Truth is not the same thing as knowledge.
This is what you are saying.

@3RU7AL
Distinguishing has to do with knowledge, which is not the same thing as how things really are.
Don't get me wrong, I am not arguing against knowledge or to be even clearer true knowledge. I am saying that knowledge of truth is not the same thing as truth.
Discernment is a gift from The Spirit of Truth. All good knowledge is knowledge of truth.

I'm not saying that people who use that word are bad, I am saying that it is really a bad word and I wouldn't want my kids using it and identifying with it.
It is a slur, and it is denigrating.
That is my view. I couldn't hate on Tyrone for using tgat word any more than I could hate on the people in my life who use that word. They know not to call me that.

I ain't knocking hillsong.
But for someone who goes to church, you sure are racist.

And I know not all white churches are the same. I've been to some where they get down.

No, this is an issue close to my heart.
None of you can admit that your idea of what constitutes being black is this thug low life bull perpetuated by a racist media.
You all think you are being accepting, but really you are buying into some illuminati bullshit meant to keep black people down.
But you know, some people go to church, and black church has way better musicianship. We get down at the black church. We don't stare at our shoes and feel ashamed to be there at the black church. When we at the white church, that's what we do.
Really though, there is no white church black church. We all in this together. Just saying,if you know what I'm saying, you know what I mean.
