That got your attention.

Both sides of the coin will be here, the pro group will have their tongues hanging out, the anti group will be preparing for a Holly War.

I meant in discussions of politics or political type discussions.

Well it is biblical:

Matthew 7:16-20, the Bible says twice, "You shall know them [Christians] by their fruits."

the "should be seen part"

Romans 13:1-7 states, "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established."

Paul's inspired words are also those of Peter's in 1 Pet. 2:13-14

So to speak against the government would be blasphemy.

the "not heard" part.

of course there is a "get out of goal card", there always is.

Daniel 3, Act 4:19 and Rev. 13:16

but be it on your own heads.

You seem very confused. To have an opinion in a democratic country is not against the law or rebellion. It might be where you come from. To rebel against the Government is violating God's commands unless of course the Government has become so ungodly that they force believers to comply with their ungodliness (eg murdering the unborn) . It is usually the self righteous left who feel they have a right to strip off naked for any reason or throw urine at the police that you should be writing to. I have yet to see the Baptist or Hillsong or Salvos or Brethren promoting rebellion against the Government. I do see it daily among the earth worshipers.

Wybong I like your posts

Your misspellings are a joy to behold

For instance a “Holly War”, … doubtless played at university level where its the “Hollys” versus the “Ivy” League

And then the

“"get out of goal card",”

That’s a hoot,

Most folk I know enjoy scoring goals, not getting out of them

but those in gaol are more disposed to seek an exit.

It seems to me that whilst you felt brave and decided to use the following phrase, on another thread,

“mean that it is OK to call you an idiot..”

Has come back and bite you.

Posting in debate is a bit like a battle of “wits” and

your posts demonstrate, you are clearly under-equipped

Now, since you have used up all your “free kicks”

I will suggest you practice with your kicking foot

and aim for the goal,

instead of your own butt

Thank you Col, your attention to my posts spurs me on, I must be doing something correct. I do however bow to your superior ability to pick nits, your many posts prove you have very little to say on anything yourself.

I stand corrected, and offer no excuses. Grammar and spelling have never been my forte and spellcheckers do funny substitutions.

I will be more attentive, sorry to upset your fun, but please do keep us informed.

Col,

You've proven that you are clearly over-equipped for this site.

Why don't you practise putting your foot fair-square in your mouth where it should stay for a while? Just so it stops the braying noises from coming out.

You're still giving all the one-trick ponies out there a good name.
