Got it.

One question: What happens when a female pastor rides up on the one on the right? Short hair. Chaps. Black leather jacket with "Born To Preach The Gospel" as her colors. Doesn't use the kickstand. I'd LOVE to watch the reaction to that woman preaching a "beefy, meaty" sermon. In fact, I'd put an extra twenty in the basket just to watch the parishioners' faces.
One is the real deal, the other is just pretend. It really has nothing to do with the leather or motorcycles.

Actually, I've seen my congregation grow spiritually in the past year. Nobody is condemning them--but I am teaching straight out of the bible. In the past year I covered the Gospel of John, and first 15 chapters of Acts.

You nailed it. Vizio has proclaimed that one is the "real deal" and the other is "just pretend". And he told us what he preaches.

Well done, cpg35233.

I was clarifying the OP's comment--something you apparently didn't understand, based on your response.

Oh. So you think I'm academically challenged and needed an explanation. Got it. Goodness gracious, this must be my lucky day. (Note to self: Buy lotto ticket.) I got the clarification AND found out you think if people aren't doing it right it's just pretend.

Anything else? Quite a while ago you stated that you knew what God thinks. I asked for an explanation of how you know that (these things happen when one is academically challenged) and never got an answer. Because, jeepers, it's not everyday you run into someone saying "I know how God thinks." Now's the time! Woo hoo. I'm going for the triple double.

I've never suggested you were academically challenged, but it did appear you didn't quite grasp the idea of the OP. That's ok...even smart people sometimes don't understand what a person says. Like now--you seemed to think I was saying you were academically challenged (and I wasn't).

I know what God has said -- it's in the Bible. So yes--I know what God thinks on many things, and you can, too--if you read his word.

I read the Bible. The LAST thing I'd claim is I know how (or what) God thinks. Proverbs 26:12

That's probably because you don't understand it.

Maybe you ought to ask a person that has studied the Bible for a long time, maybe decades. Maybe he spent several years obtaining a degree of higher learning on it. I don't know....maybe a pastor?
