Re: What Is The Christian Message?

I completely agree with the first post by niftydrifty, and completely disagree with his treatment of my fiend MrFungus in his 2nd post, after Fungus clarified his sharky position with another sharky position.

Putting Fungus aside to grow where he grows, I am quite descending from the positions taking so far by my sisters Rev and Felicity, from the question imposed and the answer given (what a surprise to see me descending).

Even if the question and the answer are quite acceptable in a Church where the public still connects them to the rest of the NT, they may not satisfy the growing appetite of Fungus dwelling outside the Church.

If I was growing in damp and dark places like Fungus, I would rather see the answer as the golden rule expressed in a form a maxima. Moreover, then it has required Felicity to supply it with the additional and quite undefined comments. This is the teaching, sorry we don’t follow it, but we have vague excuses. Catholics always want to oversmart everyone. Now I am thinking if I should start arguing that we do follow, thus unwrapping the given capsule and making it all big and lengthy…

I don’t feel like doing this, because that would be just an appeasement to the growing appetites of my friend Fungus among other valuable reasons.

But there is one thought that came to me about encapsulation of the teaching. As usual it is crazy and it is over all possible extremes. And as usual, it absorbs me more than any other thoughts. ( May be because it is known that one has to go over all extreme measures if one wants to kill fungus.)

So, this is the challenge I am calling Rev and Felicity , and any other Christian to undertake in the regards to encapsulation.

You have only one word to express teachings of Christ and NT and Christianity.

You have 15 minutes after reading this challenge.

You have only 2 choices to post:

1. Your word____________

2. WTF?

Run or make a pick.

MY WORD IS:

And I don’t mind if yours is the same, just post it,

How would we do – should I go first, - or you would give it a shot first?
