Pop preachers and their heretical beliefs

If I don't see squirrels that's proof they may be there?

In your case, yes.

You are under 24/7 surveillance.

[Cow Poke]

Say it with me... If you saw a squirrel, it is NOT A Ninja Squirrel Assassin.

One of the first skills one masters is Xiitchett chiik Txchiwt ti (Invisibility in Plain Sight).

It's a core skill for the Followers of the Acorn

Such a scholar. Or Squirrelar as it may be.

He loves squirrel lore.

He's certainly full of it.

[Sparko]

Occam's Razor. If you see one then it ain't one.

Only a miniscule number of squirrels are NSA. The rest aren't.

ETA: Master Po informed me that while Xiitchett chiik Txchixt ti means Invisibility in Plain Sight, it comes from the Old Squireleze: Xiitchx chixt Txchit "there but not there"

He's a stickler about this stuff.

Meh. Apparently when you have bird feeders out that the ninjas can access, their skills go right out the window.

You need to send some to my daughter's yard. She spent quite a while watching our resident ninja yesterday when my girls and s-i-l were visiting us.

The awesomesauce that is the NSA makes folks want to glom onto them -- even to the extent of trying to take credit for them.

Their history stretches back through the centuries. Only mossy is old enough to have been around when the various clans met and formed the NSA.

So this is how the ninja squirrel assassins came about -- this guy speaks them into existence (or at least claims to).

And the guy's last name befits him well.

Churches Exegeting…. ‘Barbie’ Film.. For Summer Sermon Series

Summertime is ‘Church at the movies’ time for many seeker-sensitive and biblically illiterate churches, and the usual blockbuster films are prime pickings: Mission Impossible, Transformers, Super Mario, and even the newest ‘Barbie’ film. These PG and PG-13 films are all ripe for industrious pastors to pluck ‘life lessons’ out of and to uncover the ‘spiritual truths’ out of Bowser singing ‘Peaches’ or Optimus Prime ‘transforming’ into a new creation.

This is where churches decorate the entire building (or at least the lobby and sanctuary) with movie-themed accouterments, hand out popcorn and drinks, and in the case of Barbie week, ask congregants to come to church dressed in pink, where if they wish, they can do a Barbie-themed photoshoot.

And of course, the requisite sermons. Unfortunately many of the churches will not stream them as they use so much copyright material with the video clips they show, but inevitably some get through.

On the face of it, that runs counter to the concept of Theosis.
"Was broken and would still be broken but for God's intervention" seems to align more closely with the concept.

cf 1Corinthians 6:11 (among others)

Not really. The closer one is to the light, the more clearly flaws are seen. This is not to say that their flaws would seem awful to anyone else, but it's how they perceive themselves, out of humility if nothing else. Even holy people are still human, and can fall prey to temptations.
