This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

1 Timothy 1:15

Not sure if I'd say it my absolute favourite, but it is a good verse, keeps turning up at the moment.


Geggs

'. . . the Christian who lives in Christ must refuse every image of the preincarnate God except insofar as such images are transfigured by the self-sacrifice or self-negation of God himself.'


The Gospel of Christian Atheism, p. 92.

Blyssid be the tyme
that appil take was!
Therfore we mown syngyn
Deo gracias!

'Adam lay ybounden'

And, a translation (from English to English) for the mods:

Blessed be the time that apple was taken! For it we must sing thanks to God!

I love that.

You should have a look at the whole thing, Effers:

The kid has been watching this version over and over for a few days now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juUNs3vcPNk&feature=related


We spend a lot of time listening to the Mediaeval Baebes. Nothing like pop music in Latin and Medieval European Languages.

I forgot to add in that last post:

For most of Christian history it's been felt that it was a very, very good thing that Adam and Eve took that initial bite, that the post-Lapsarian world and future is a vast improvement for a whole lot of reasons over that original conception of eternal paradise in a wee garden, and not only because we got bacon after the Fall.

""and not only because we got bacon after the Fall.""

francis or butty????

Well, both, obviously.


and back and streaky and peameal (my favourite> and apple wood smoked and maple and . . .

crispy!!

crispy indeed!


I prepared a lovely spaghetti carbonara this evening (with a half-bottle of home-made Trebianno). Without the Fall -- completely impossible! We'd still be sitting asking the T.Rexes to crack us another coconut.

thought thats what the horn on a unicorn was for??? opening coconuts!!!

It depends on which part of the Garden you're in. Here in the North American part we'd need the T. Rexes. I expect in South America they'd rely on the Megatheriums.

""Here in the North American part ""

just look!!!! we are all in "go-down-under-land" together and i'll have none of that sepratist talk!!!!

next you'll want to be building a tower and start talking in tongues

and it came about that adam and eve did befoul the garden with their soil, for they felt no shame.

genesis 2:26

and raising the woman to her feet jesus said "let him who is without sin cast the first stone" and lo! was a rock pitched from the crowd and struck jesus upon the headturning to the crowd jesus said to the thrower "sometimes you atheists can be right bas*tards! dont you understand it was supposed to be a metaphore, dont you lot understand metaphore??"
