Actually, since He is no respecter of persons, we are all "special snowflakes", with our own purpose and calling, as our life is hid in Christ. Peace

I understand it just fine. It's your intellect that doesn't understand it, and you can't because it didn't come from the carnal mind, it came from the Spirit of G-d. If you only knew how it works; understanding is immediate with revelation given by the Spirit. Peace

Amen. I didn't. The wine is the light of the candlestick. Are these men drunk with new wine? Peace

No you don't. You are so immersed in your obedience and bafflegab nonsense you are blind to the central and core message of agape. It is a shame that your stumbling block is the very scriptures you hoped would enlighten you.

Hey Hannibal, I don't know if this was directed AT me, or just inspired by my user name . If the former, this is the second time you've talked about me having a son who isn't my son. Is there some symbolic significance to this in your opinion and, if so, would you mind sharing with me what it is? Thanks.

P.s. I have always enjoyed reading fleshed-out stories of historical figures, so I enjoyed what you wrote. I very much admire story-tellers.

On the very day that Pleroo became a woman of her own right, she was standing on the east side of the Nile river when she saw something in the waters. It was a basket that came floating along and inside the basket was a beautiful male child.


Since the beginning of her birth, the great wise men prophesied of her that she would abound, that she would make full the brightness of her calling by all the high prophets of Egypt that spoke of Plerro saying,'' Carry through to the end, fill the cup to it's brim, that she would consummate a marriage covenant to a God, and her life would render to full measure when she would have a child.


She always thought she would meet a great prince and get married to have such a child that would save a whole world making her complete in all the prophesies the wise men of Egypt had spoken of the great princess.


It was said that the son of such a great princess would supply liberally all things to fulfill the promise of her destiny.


She never supposed that she would find a son not her own, and this son would be the great general and ruler who would save all of Egypt against the enemies advances.


From where the son came, nobody knows only that she found a beautiful boy upon the river and she took him in to be her own and she loved him more than life itself even though it was no son of a consummation but a son of a miracle that came to her in a basket, an ark upon the waters.


Just as she had taken the child from the waters she was met by 7 wise men appointed to the court of the palace of Egypt.


They began each in his turn to bless her and the child saying,'' Fill up, fill up, make full to overflowing as a river that overflows it's banks, so that nothing be wanting to full measure, Render perfect and make complete,'' said the wise men.''


Of sayings and promises, prophecies, bring to pass, ratify and accomplish O Pleroo.


The word went out amongst every Egyptian and every slave in Egypt about the fame of finding an Osiris upon the waters and Pleroo had found him and raised him up to be her own.


When he was just a child people would stop in the streets awestruck at his beauty and height as a 5 year old would look like a teenager in wisdom and in strength. People would stop in the streets mesmerized at the child's beauty so much that rumors abounded about where the child had come from and it was said in the land of Egypt,'' Let not Pleroo breath her breath upon you lest you should be consumed in the flames because her lover is a God and we know not where this child of God has come from only that she has presented him, watch out unless you provoke the gods.''

People are born as animals and if just one person has an afterlife, it is because they were pregnant when they died.


A body is female, all bodies are female as all spirits are male inside a female.


We are taught that we are all virgins before God and just as the prophesies state, '' A virgin will be found with child.''


Christians are betrothed to Christ and although they never knew their betrothed, they are found pregnant as there is a seed planted in them and this seed begins to grow into a male child.


That maybe too confusing to you but that is what the bible is teaching us, that when we die, we will give birth to that seed within ourselves, a seed planted their by God that a person is no longer just an animal, but A son of the living God.


But yeah, that story was a play on your name.
