Christianity Etc › Kenji Goto's Jesus Tweets Go Viral After His Execution At The Hands Of ISIS by winner01(op): 11:36pm On Sep 18, 2015
Christian journalist Kenji Goto, one of the two Japanese hostages who was recently beheaded by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) continues to inspire multitudes with his faith in God, as his previous tweets (@kenjigotoip) have gone viral.

Goto's earlier tweets were eerily indicative of his future torture at the hands of ISIS.
"Closing my eyes and holding still. It's the end if I get mad or scream. It's close to a prayer. Hate is not for humans. Judgment lies with God. That's what I learned from my Arabic brothers and sisters, "he tweeted on September 7 ,2010.

His selfless tweet reflects the Savior's appeal to God on the cross to forgive those who are killing him. "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do, "Jesus said in Luke 23:34.

Goto's Twitter page is mainly filled with Japanese characters, but there were some tweets back in 2010 in which he thanked God that miners were rescued in Chile, and also expressed his desire to "make a new world."
Goto became a Christian in 1997 and was a member of the Denenchofu Church of the United Church of Christ in Japan.

He was kidnapped by ISIS in October 2014 after entering the nation of Syria by way of Turkey. He went back to Syria hoping to rescue his friend Haruna Yukawa, who was kidnapped by ISIS last August 2014.
He was the first Japanese man publicly beheaded by the radical Islamic group.
In a leaked photo, it was shown that they forced Goto to hold a picture of Yukawa's severed head on January 24.

"I have seen horrible places and have risked my life, but I know that somehow God will always save me, "said Goto.

Christianity Etc › Pastor Saeed Abedini Hurt Not Seeing Kids Growing Up,' Wife Reveals by winner01(op): 4:24pm On Sep 18, 2015
Imprisoned American Pastor Saeed Abedini has finally been allowed a visit by a family member in Iran after two months.
His wife, Naghmeh Abedini, who was told about the visit, said that having to watch his two young children grow up only through photos is taking its toll on the pastor after nearly three years in prison.

In an update provided by the American Center for Law and Justice , which is representing Naghmeh, the imprisoned American's wife noted that the visit was "bittersweet," with Abedini being denied the opportunity to attend his grandmother's funeral, who died in the last few weeks.
What is more, Abedini also missed out on his daughter Rebekka's ninth birthday, and has come to realize how much of his children's growing up he has been away from.

"It was too painful for him to see pictures of how much his baby girl had grown up since he last saw her, from the 5- year-old little girl to the 9-year-old young lady she has become. A different kind of maturity covered his baby girl's face. A maturity that spoke of painful, tear-stained nights," Naghmeh wrote.

"The picture his family took to show Saeed told him of a girl who was trying to be strong and brave for her daddy. Many tears were shed and stories shared. So many stories that Saeed struggled to remember his babies and our family, memories that the prison walls were slowly stealing from him," she added.

"So many new memories were trying to form about what the kids liked to do now and how they had changed over the years. Saeed tried hard to hold on to something to take back to the prison once the visit was over; something Rebekka said; or something Jacob did."

Abedini is serving an eight-year prison sentence in the Islamic Republic. While Iranian officials have accused him of endangering national security, the ACLJ has said that he's being punished for his Christian faith.

The pastor, a convert from Islam, was put in prison in September 2012 while working on an orphanage for children in Iran.
Naghmeh has been fasting throughout most of the month, anticipating Sept. 26, which will officially mark the date when her husband was sent to prison three years ago.
During the recent visit with the family member, Abedini was told there will be prayer vigils for him and other persecuted Christians on Sept. 26, to let him know that he's not forgotten.

"His face lit up and he was encouraged to hear that so many are praying for him. He was encouraged to know that a date that brought so much pain had become a day when Christians united together to pray for him and the persecuted Church," Naghmeh revealed.

"I made sure that he was told that I had not given up the fight. That we had not given up the fight for his release. That despite government shortcomings, none of us were giving up. That we were getting on our knees and praying and fasting for him each day leading up to the prayer vigil. I knew that during the short prison visits he needed to know that he was not forgotten."

Naghmeh said that the many beatings and medical problems her husband has faced while in prison are also taking their toll, and he is in pain every day.

"Knowing his kids are growing up without him has made the journey that much more emotional for him. He always wanted to be the dad that poured into his kids every single day of them growing up. He was the more nurturing one of the two of us and cared about each and every milestone," she added.

"Saeed realizes that he has had to give up those things that were so dear to him for the sake of the Gospel and that is the one thing that brings him comfort. Saeed is holding onto hope that one day he will reunite with us again."

The ACLJ also reminded supporters that a letter signed online by over 260,000 people is set to be delivered to Secretary- General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon, which will call for the U.N. to do all it can to speak with the Iranian government and get Abedini released.

Christianity Etc › 7 Satanic Strategies To Distract Man From Christianity by winner01(op): 4:00pm On Sep 18, 2015
Pretend for a moment that you believe both God and Satan are real beings. And that God is omnipresent, while Satan is a fallen angel who can only be in one place at one time. God of course being the Creator, and Satan being the created being.

OK, next. Pretend that Satan's heart became proud and he tried to usurp God's authority, and was quickly kicked out of heaven. This would have made him angry and confused, but certainly very focused. Pretend his hatred drives Him to oppose the purposes of God.

Next. Pretend that man, like Satan, has fallen from a place of safety in God's kingdom. And that man needs the blood which the Son of God comes to shed on a cross for the sins of the world. Pretend it's the only way for man to be forgiven and brought into a right relationship with God. Got it? Great.

Now in that scenario, what strategies might an intelligent evil angel devise to assail God's purposes and oppose His kingdom? Imagine Satan coming up with a worldwide plot, and utilizing other fallen angels who now serve him and his diabolical purposes. Imagine each of them being assigned a particular geographical territory in which to carry out their master's orders.

Can you picture it? Well then, just imagine Satan giving the following instructions to his army of fallen angels.

Strategy #1 - Convince man he is his own god. Trick man into believing he is not accountable to a Creator. In other words, get man to think the world revolves around him. Make man think others are either extremely impressed with him; or they think he is a loser. But either way, it must be all about man. We must turn his eyes inward rather than upward.

Strategy #2 - Raise up a bevy of false prophets who propose a variety of alternative religions. Any religion is OK, as long as it isn't Christianity. Any religious practices are fine, as long as they don't involve trusting Jesus wholly and following Him as Lord of all. In fact, use false religion as a weapon against Christianity by convincing man that as long as the religion box is checked in his life, it will all turn out fine in the end. Pretty much sums up why we've got several "christian-like" religions and doctrines.

Strategy #3 - Fan into flame man's sinful desires. Tempt him to give into those desires so that these habits become addictions driving man further from God. Place things in man's path which prompt him to compromise any allegiance to God's Word, and any commitment to holy living. Get man to hate others, hold grudges, and live with bitterness and resentment. Use lust, greed, jealousy, and every weapon at your disposal. Hold nothing back. And realize that your greatest opportunities will occur the moment man steps across any one of God's boundary lines.

Strategy #4 - Speaking of God's Word, do whatever it takes to convince man that Scripture is nothing but a bunch of myths. It is not to be taken literally. Convince man that only "fundamentalists" are naive enough to believe such a thing. Since pride is our specialty, use it to incite man to think highly of his knowledge, as long as it doesn't involve true knowledge of Christ, and a reliance upon God's Word. We must undermine any confidence man places in the Word of God.

Strategy #5 - Use science against man. Lead man to think science provides all the answers he needs in life, and to reject any belief in the supernatural. This includes rejecting the notion of Satan, angels, miracles, and even God Himself.

Strategy #6 - Convince man that no one can really know whether or not there is life after death. Keep man so busy with activities in this world that he barely has time to think about deeper issues, such as eternity, and the immortality of the soul. Get man to view himself the way he views animals. He lives, and dies, and that's it.

Strategy #7 - Realize that many human beings will choose to believe heaven and hell exist. For those people, do anything necessary to convince them they must earn their way into heaven. Above all else, distract man from considering the message of salvation by grace through faith in Christ. No matter what, man must not hear that message. Do anything which distracts believers from spreading the message of salvation in your territory.


Well there you have it. Can you imagine Satan devising such a plan? That is, if he is real, and God is real, and the cross is man's only hope for salvation. It seems like it would be an effective plan. Many human beings would become ensnared by such enticing distractions.

If such strategies were actually being carried out, there would be plenty of evidence right before our eyes, right? Well, look carefully in the world today. What does the evidence suggest to you? Are these 7 strategies for distraction just an imaginative myth, or reality?

If you are too blind to see the Savior today, you probably don't even recognize the very things which are being used to confuse and distract you. Such is the nature of spiritual warfare.

Or did you think the devil was going to show up in a red suit with a pitchfork?

Christianity Etc › 6 Men Christian Women Should Avoid by winner01(op): 1:24pm On Sep 17, 2015
Here are six types of men that you should avoid in having a friendship or a relationship with:

Men Who Don’t Put God First
I believe that this one is the most important of all. If a man doesn’t put God first in His life then he’ll likely put you way down in his list of priorities. A man that has Jesus Christ at the center of his life will also likely hold his girlfriend or wife in high regard because men are commanded to love their wife like Christ loved the church and gave his life for her (Eph 5:25).

Men Who Are Consumed with Hobbies
My wife loves college football and basketball and even the NFL but she isn’t consumed with them. She would rather do things with the family and miss a game than be glued to the TV until the game or games are over. If a man has a compulsion with hobbies, you might end up in second place to whatever it is he is consumed with. Wouldn’t you rather have a man that is consumed with glorifying God first and then put his wife or girlfriend next?

Men Who Mistreat Their Mother
Any man that speaks harshly or mistreats his mother is likely to treat the other females in his life the same way. For one thing, he is breaking the Fifth Commandment to honor his father and your mother. There is a strong correlation between how a man treats his mother with how he will treat his girlfriend or wife. This is a strong red flag if he is harsh or mistreats his mother.

Men Who Only Care About Themselves
I once heard about a woman who complained that her husband acted like God. He all but wanted to be worshiped. Everything had to be about him and he wanted to always be the center of attention. Now God is worthy of that place in our life but no man should ever take center stage or the woman should immediately exit stage left!

Men Who Treat Animals Harshly
Women, take a close look at how a man treats his pets or treats other animals. All animals are part of God’s creation too and we read in the first few chapters of Genesis that God said “and it was good” and this included the creation of animals so if a man mistreats animals or acts with indifference in their care, then that man would be one that I would avoid at all costs.

How is He around Children?
Another red flag is if you see a man who doesn’t like children or even like to be around them. Children are precious to God and if this man is a potential mate and father to your children and he can’t stand being around children or has a short fuse around them, take warning because he may treat them even worse when he has his own family and you’d likely be better off without this type of man.

May God richly bless you,

Ref; Pastor Jack Wellman

Christianity Etc › Re: How Mohammed Compiled The Quran. by winner01(m): 11:00pm On Sep 15, 2015
parisbookaddict:
All heresies draw their strength from some true doctrine,

Mohammedanism aka Islam drew its strength from the some true Catholic doctrines which it
retained then blended several apocryphal books amongst which are;
1. the Infancy gospel of Thomas : this is where mohammed got his stories about the childhood of "isa"

2. the life of Adam and eve: this is where he got the alternate creation story.

3. the gospel of James/the protovangelion of James: the purported biography of Mary which mohammed plagiarised.

4. the gnostic apocalypse of peter: the alleged body double crucifixion which muslims love to appeal to, alsi plagiarised by mohammed.
[size=13pt]
Caveat: These books were fallacious and dubious books which were produced centuries after the events of the new testament and where relatively popular during mohammed's time. The church rejected them 2 centuries before, warning Christians that the books were ungenuine.
[/size]



However it was read amongst some Christians especially gnostics. Mohammed embraced the books and plagiarised them to form the quran even the gospel of James/the protovangelion of James( the purported biography of Mary) formed a significant portion of the quran.

Those who knew he was a fraud were quick to accuse him

[size=13pt]"This is nothing but a lie which he has forged, and other have helped him do it...Tales of the ancients (fairy tales), which he has caused to be written; and they are dictated before him morning and evening." (Surah 25:4-5)" [/size]


Mohammeds "copy and paste" was legendary.

mohammed mixed so much of these books up that he was accused of being mad(as recorded in the quran).

[size=13pt] Surah 15, verse 6:
*{And they [the Arab pagans] say, ‘O you to whom the Reminder has been revealed! You are most surely insane!’
[/size]



On a finally note, Islam differed from most (not from all)
heresies in this, that it did NOT arise within the bounds of the Christian Church.

The chief heresiarch, Mohammed himself, was not, like most
heresiarchs, of Catholic birth and doctrine to begin with. He was different. He
sprang from pagans and blended these texts aforementioned with his pagan beliefs. Note the evidence supporting mohammeds pagan origin;

1. Mohammed's Pagan father was called Abdullah, which means slave of Allah long before Mohammed started Islam.
2. The crescent moon and star is seen high above almost every mosque not to mention the moon god was allegedly one of the 360 gods of the kabba.
3. The muslim obsession with black clothes.
4. The Islamic black flag.
5. The kissing of the black stone done by Muslims which was started by Mohammed for no apparent reason other than a pagan ritual.
6. The circling of the kabba.
7. Compulsory pilgrimage for Muslims which was done by pagans in mecca before Islam.
8. Bowing down and facing mecca when praying. Etc
9. Cultural Superstitions and unfounded hate for wall geckos, dogs(mans best friend), etc

All these are some of the red flags that indicate that there maybe more to Islam than meets the eye. These pagan practises are not seen in Judaism and Christianity which Mohammed claims are people of the book and says he is one of their "prophets".


But that which he taught was in the main Catholic doctrine. This perhaps have led some to believe the Catholics invented Islam. its fundamentals are the same simple massage.

It was the great Catholic world on the frontiers
of which he lived, whose influence was all around him and whose
territories he had known by travel which inspired his convictions.

The dichotomy of beliefs (Christian and pagan) was something he was able to coalesce in the abomination that is Islam and brought a force so deadly that for 1400 years Islam still seeks to see the whole world submit to one man's monadic understanding of a complex incomprehensible being.
grin, I see truth in this though.

Christianity Etc › '90 Minutes In Heaven': How Don Piper 'came back tolife' And What He Saw 'there' by winner01(op): 10:40pm On Sep 15, 2015
[b]Known worldwide as "The Minister of Hope," renowned book author Don Piper said he got to experience the joys of heaven for about 90 minutes after he suffered from a terrible car crash back on Jan.18, 1989.

Don Piper actually looks amazingly well for a man who died over 25 years ago. After 34 surgeries, his legs give him trouble on occasion, and his left arm is frozen in a permanent handshake.

But things could be worse. In January 1989 Piper died when an 18-wheeler plowed over his Ford Escort on a Texas bridge. Considering his extensive injuries, death was a blessing. But it lasted only 90 minutes—long enough for this Baptist minister to visit the splendors of heaven and reconnect with departed family and friends. Everything was bliss until another minister came upon the accident and felt impressed to pray for the dead man. His prayers worked. Piper came back to life. Anyone who's heard Piper speak or has read 90 Minutes in Heaven knows this story well. After its publication in 2004, the book spent four years on the New York Times Best- Sellers list and has sold 7 million copies to date. Hard to believe that the publisher didn't think it would do well—or ever be made into a movie. But now his recollection of that experience has been captured in the film "90 Minutes in Heaven," which premiered on Friday, Sept. 11, in 800 theatres in the US based on Piper's book of the same name.

It stars Hayden Christensen (the "Star Wars" prequels) as Don Piper and Kate Bosworth ("Superman Returns"wink as Eva Piper. Michael Polish ("The Astronaut Farmer"wink directs the Giving Films production. Veteran actor Fred Dalton Thompson (Die Hard 2 ) appears as Piper's minister friend, Jay B. Perkins, and singer-songwriter Michael W. Smith is in a leading role. Smith's son is writing the soundtrack for the movie.

The Baptist minister was on his way home from a conference in Texas when a semi-trailer truck slammed into his car. Piper said the roof of his car slammed into his head, the steering wheel struck his chest, and the dashboard fell on both of his legs.
When paramedics arrived, they found him without heartbeat and pulse.

According to Piper, at that moment he went to Heaven and experienced "surreal" things like meeting family members long dead such as his great-grandmother and joining a Heavenly Choir at the Gates of Heaven.
Piper, an ordained minister since 1985, has appeared on numerous television and radio programs to recall his "resurrection" story. He said God had bigger plans for him in this world, that's why he said he miraculously "came back to life." Piper said sharing his personal story through the film "90 Minutes in Heaven" was both gratifying and difficult for him and his wife Eva, who had to recall all of their personal struggles during that time to be able to deliver an honest rendition of the film.

"I was on the set about 80 percent of the time, and Eva and our kids were all invited to the set, so we were there and saw them making the movie in an accurate and forth right kind of way, "Piper told Breaking Christian News. "It was very surreal—to relive those experiences after all these years through the acting; it was not an easy thing to do."

Another difficulty they faced was in depicting heaven in the film. Piper said after he came back from the dead, he was unable to talk about heaven for over a year simply because there were no earthly words to describe it.
"If that's the case on a personal level, just try to make a film about it! "he said.
"The parts of heaven that they chose to portray are mostly accurate.
But they can't do the colours that I saw there; that I can't see here. They can't do the aromas that I smelled there; that I can't smell here, "he said. "So, it was accurate in depicting the things they could display, but there's so much more—to say the least—to heaven than you could make in a movie."

Nonetheless, Piper praised the producers, saying they did a pretty good job showing heaven in the movie. But whatever visual paradise any special effects team could muster up would simply pale in comparison to the real heaven, he said.

The pastor said he understands that there are sceptics who would disagree with him regarding the reality of heaven, adding that everybody is entitled to his or her own opinion.

"I respect those who disagree with me about heaven. They probably use the brakes on their car, and yet don't understand anything about them either—they use them by faith,the car stops.We exercise faith all the time regarding things we can't see or don't understand, so it shouldn't be any less with a story like this.But it's their call.I just ask people to see the movie, and make their own judgment call,"he said.

OLAADEGBU:
And who told you that 'B' was debunked without any shroud of evidence? What other evidence do you want for the existence of the Creator?

With my limited knowledge and my physical senses I have the evidence of God's existence. When I look at a building, how do I know that there was a builder? I couldn't want a better evidence that there was a builder than to have the building in front of me. I don't even need faith to know that there was a builder. All I need are eyes that can see and a brain that can think.

The same principle applies to the existence of God. When I look at creation, how can I know that there was a Creator? Creation reveals to me that there is a Creator. I couldn't want a better evidence that there is a Creator than to have the creation in front of me. I don't need faith to believe in a Creator, all I need are eyes that can see and a brain that can think.

"For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse" (Romans 1:20).

But if I want the builder to do something for me, then I need to have faith in the builder.

"Without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).

If you need to know God on an intimate level you need faith based on His Word and World. QED. Simples. wink

U just committed ad hominem Mr atheist. Why don't u focus on presenting ur "wonderful" logical argument rather than imply how unclever the op is.

You, Mr atheist believe u come from an ape who just accidentally happens to exist for no reason and out of the choas of the big bang came order without the intervention of anything. If you break your watch to pieces, detach all the mechanical parts and pour it in a blend for a million years (chaos) will it all find its way back together and produce a working watch. NO. but this is what u believe. Out of chaos and meaninglessness came perfect order by the intervention of nothing.


The op and other theists believe they are created in the image of an infinite & perfect being who existed before all else and has revealed himself to his creation as he sees fit; and who created a perfect universe which works like clockwork, the only known planet in the billions of universes which has the only single conditions to support human life. We believe we are infinite beings who continue to exist after human life.

Mr atheist you appeal to textbooks on logical arguments written by men in an attempt to appear smart but please let's see how smart are, start quoting the logical fallacies as it concerns the OPs arguement. Even at that it won't matter, here is why;

We Christians appeal to the bible, the inspired word of a perfect being and thousands of years of wisdom both human and divine. A life manual full of lessons on how to live and the consequences of sin. A book that transcends all human knowledge.

Mr atheist one day you will need a miracle perhaps then u will see how important God really is. And when u bend your knees to pray with sincerity and humbled, he will listen.

[b]In your words, how can any reasonable person believe that the human race evolved from apes?

How can any reasonable person look at and believe that the sun, the stars and shooting stars, the moon, the mountains, the oceans, trees, the animals, hills and valleys, the volcanoes, their exact positions, and the presence of elements that sustain life on earth, which are all not present in other planets as well as the entire universe with all its planets all sprang from energy that created itself?

How can a right thinking human believe that his existence is meaningless, yet I wonder how an object meant to live a meaningless life came to discover his purpose of empty existence? Isn't he supposed to live and die like any mindless object, i.e. a tree, without knowing his meaningless purpose of existence? How can a person with a mind, life, senses, and with the ability to experience emotions, with creative abilities other animate things lack equate himself with the existence led by squirrels, dogs, elephants, plants, buffaloes, cattle, penguins, etc? This too is meaningless.

How can a reasonable man say there is no other world besides the physical world despite glaring evidence to the contrary? Many scientists without any religious affiliations who have conducted years of experiments on the possibility of the afterlife all came with the same conclusion that consciousness continues even after the brain dies. Yet, the so-called reasonable man insists it is not possible. He has conducted no experiment into the matter but refuses to believe those who have.

Finally, how can a reasonable man doubt the testimonies of a multitude of people from different races, countries, era, ages, language, and geographical locations, all saying the same thing about the reality of heaven, hell, angels and demons? How can a reasonable man say they are all suffering hallucinations when, scientifically, it is impossible given the limitations of time, space, distance, and age, of the possibility of ALL suffering the same specie of hallucination?

Christianity Etc › Re: What Do Angels Look Like? by winner01(m): 11:11pm On Sep 12, 2015
[b]Angels are spirit beings (Hebrews 1:14 ), so they do not have any essential physical form. But angels do have the ability to appear in human form. When angels appeared to humans in the Bible, they resembled normal males. In Genesis 18:1-19 , God and two angels appeared as men and actually ate a meal with Abraham. Angels appear as men many times throughout the Bible ( Joshua 5:13-14 ; Mark 16:5 ).
Other times, angels appeared not as humans, but as something other-worldly, and their appearance was terrifying to those who encountered them. Often, the first words from these angels were "do not be afraid," because extreme fear was such a common reaction. The keepers of Jesus' tomb became as dead men when they saw the angel of the Lord (Matthew 28:4 ). The shepherds in the fields in Luke 2 were "sore afraid" when the angel of the Lord appeared and the glory of the Lord shone around them.
As for physical characteristics, angels are sometimes described as winged. The images of cherubim on the ark of the covenant had wings that covered the mercy seat ( Exodus 25:20 ). Isaiah saw winged seraphim in his vision of the throne of heaven, each one having six wings ( Isaiah 6:2 ). Ezekiel, too, saw visions of winged angels. Isaiah 6:1-2 depicts angels having human features—voices, faces and feet. Angel voices are heard singing and praising God in several other passages.
The angel at Jesus' tomb is described as having a brilliant appearance: "His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow" (Matthew 28:3 ).
Whatever appearance angels take on, there is reason to believe they are incredibly beautiful. Ezekiel tells us that Lucifer was "lifted up" in pride over his beauty. In addition, beings such as angels, who are continually in the presence of God, would be expected to have extraordinary beauty because God's glory is reflected upon all that is around Him. [/b]

Will you also explain the absurdities in your beliefs . Please dont run away from the thread or tell me science has not found out yet or tell me to read up - new escape tactics you guys now employ . After "bashing" christians , you'll now evade questions and run away like cowards when your there-is-no-God theories are fed with a healthy dose of skepticism .
You said it bro.

kobosmalls:
Bye! Losers.

Im off this thread either way.

If life cant come from the non-living, then ur God himself must have come from something living too because he is alive.
Isnt he alive?

If he didnt come from any life form, then you have succeeded in putting a big hole in your logic.

And u expect to get those questions answered by jewish normadic cavemen who thought that variations in language came from a particular place, yet non of all those languages are spoken around the middle east. Igbo and yorubas should have all been found there as indigenes of isreal too not indigenes of a far away continent.
Circle leader, why not answer the questions instead of bringing up the issue of language. I will personally show you your folly on language if you answer the above questions. im not raising my expectations on yhu though. grin

1.Where did man 's wisdom and intelligence come from ?

2. Can life come from the non-living ?

3.What accounts for the disparity in the nature of the constituents of our material universe?

4. Why does the universe need to exist ?
ill consider the possibility that he can read and comprehend, if he answers any of these questions. Notice how he has avoided my question the whole time. He is a different type, a joker
