As for speaking in tongues, do you think a Chinese person speaking in tongues might come out with some English phrases?
Dost thou knowest this as a surety, fair sir?
Dost thou proclaimest to know the mind of the God Almighty?
Privy, sir- do tellest us this farce of comedies, do!
Zenas, though thou doth protest in the tongue of the fundy, methinks that perhaps thou art forked of that same tongue, as thou also speaketh in the manner of a Poe.
Quite!
If I remember correctly (reading it not being there!!) Elizabethan English (assuming he means that of Glorians not Lillibet) was rather earthy. Not the refined "wilt thou wander with me", more "thou poxie stream of piss".....
That, I think, would wake a few fundies up!
Jesus spoke Elizabethan English. However, Matthew was tri-lingual and was able to translate Jesus' words into Greek and Aramaic so the people in the Holy Land could understand him. Fortunately, "cheesemakers" got translated as eirenopoios ("peacemakers"); otherwise we'd be worshiping the producers of "Dirty Dancing" and almost any movie with Keanu Reeve or Ben Affleck in it.
god didn't understand his mother's language. She said "Yaldabaoth," which means "Get over here, you misbegotten piece of shit," and he thought it was his name.
Funny. But I personally think that only God the Father prefers Elizabethan English, since He is naturally inclined to enjoy the foppishness that it is associated with. God the Son, codename J.E.S.U.S., has a liking for Arabic, Arameic, possibly some Greek, and Ebonics. The Father does not approve. As for the Holy Ghost...He doesn't talk much. Kind of just stands around, looking spooky, reading Anne Rice novels and occassionally appearing on Earth as a poltergeist or as a burnt image of J.E.S.U.S. on a slice of toast. He really got the short end of the divine stick when it comes to that.
Except when he's chilling and listening to his stereo, then he prefers screaming Cockney English.
"And IIIIII wanna beeeee anarchy, oi, oi, oi..."
Jesus would have spoken Aramaic.
Jesus, according to the Bible, is God.
Verily, yonder orator proclaims to all, that he doth knows the mind of the Almighty Lord, but also the spoken tongue that the Almighty Lord prefers...
This guy/gal is being sarcastic!
Why do the anti-fundies seem as unable to read and engage their brains as much as fundies sometimes on this site?
Do you see fundies under the beds too???
How do you know? And don't say "That's the language the bible is in" because, There are bibles in Modern English, Bibles in Spanish, Bibles in French, Bibles in Greek, Bibles in Latin, Bibles in Hebrew, Bibles in Chinese, Bibles in Korean, ect.
God ? wouldst thou mind terribly if I gavest mine strumpet a jolly rodgering ?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
