Affectionate Fighting

comes in with her canister of water :)

comes in with her canister of water without copperfox knowing it, sees the peppermnt & spearmint plants are dried up, dumps the whole canister of water on them, runs out at angelic speed :)
 
Now you compare me to Bible heros? Wow. I am honored. Sad to say though that I have never read the story that you refer to. If you would be so kind as to tell me what chapters this specific story is included in, I _will_ read it _tonight_. :]
Just as a heads-up, I've _never ever_ even considered a guy that way before I get married. I won't either. You see as long as I remember I've always had _my_ morals set-in-stone and I am happy to say that I didn't lose them while I was vulnerable. So you don't have to worry about that one. lol.


Two can play at that game.

If Hitler had met you, you would of convinced him to Glove everyone no matter what. No concentration camps or anything. I'll bet that he would have _immediately_ asked for forgiveness and prayers.

If Voldemort had of met you, he would of stopped trying to defeat the goodness of the world. He would have realized that everyone was a equal. Not only would you have helped him, but also all of the other wizards. Clearing their vision so that they wouldn't segargate themselves as they do.

If you were in Star Wars you would of made Darth Vader come to his senses and fix everything the way it ought to be.

I'll even bet that if you met the Devil you'd cause him to return to the throne of God and beg for forgiveness.



Speaking of the Vampire thread.... I think that I am going to have to take a visit back there. XD
 
The story of Eliezer finding Rebekah for Isaac is told in Genesis 24. The same chapter also mentions Laban, who was later to be the father-in-law of Jacob.

Most precious Amanda, all of your praise remains as delicious as ever to be hammered with. Now, please do not be hurt by the next thing I will say; in fact, I'll drop the G again for a moment for emphasis, and say that I _LOVE_ you and would never want to hurt your feelings for one instant. But we should beware of suggesting, even as a joke, that any human power could ever defeat, or change the nature of, the fallen angels, Jesus rebuke them, who are the enemies of our souls. To stress all the more that I am not the least bit angry at you as I say this, you are invited to imagine that I am holding you in my arms like a father and stroking your hair as I speak. Joke about Voldemort and even Hitler at will; but don't suggest that I in myself could have any influence over Satan, Jesus rebuke him. Spiritual warfare is a serious matter.

I say this for your own good, because before God you are as dear and precious to me as if you were in my own flesh-and-blood family. I want you to be "well-equipped for every good work," which includes understanding the REAL war and how merciless it is. I wish I could give you a world in which there was no danger, in which games like ours never had to be interrupted for solemn things. But actually, my solemn warnings AND our game-playing both serve the SAME purpose: expressing my actual no-fooling real-world love and fondness and care for my wonderful spiritual granddaughter Amanda. So now I kiss your cheeks, reattach the capital G to the word "love," and hope that I haven't ruined the mood for your observance of my spiritual birthday tomorrow.
 
*Prances in, not knowing what is going on, and throws flowers everywhere to brighten up the moon, then brings a whole batch of chocolate chip cookies, along with a basket of adorable puppes* These adorable puppes, and treats, are a gift to you all for being such amazing and kind hearted people!!!:p
 
A-F-D, thank you very much for that sneak attack of generosity and good intentions! Virtual puppies are so much easier to take care of than live ones: don't have to housetrain them. God's best blessings be upon you now and always; and please, feel free to "fight" any special friend of yours in this arena!
 
I understand what you are saying and I am not upset at all. I just guess that I took it a little too far. XP My Bad.
Your hugs. God bless them. They never fail to make me smile.
I will read the story that you speak of, right after I get off of here, right before I go to bed. You can even quiz me tomorrow. :p

♥AslansForgivenDaughter♥ - That was very sweet of you to drop your gifts. :] Espically the puppies, you see my last two puppies were stolen and I've always wanted another dog. Alas, with me being in highschool and playing softball my parents don't think that I would have enough time to spend playing with a dog anymore. So your presents really touch me. I agree with Copperfox: God bless you and all that you do. Don't be a stranger around here either. It would warm Copperfox's heart and mine even more if you brought a friend to 'fight' with. XD.
 
Bruiser, you don't even have to say "My bad." There was NO rebuke to you in what I wrote, only instruction for a darling girl whose excellent qualities include a willingness to be instructed. I Glove you more with every exchange, and I'll be delighted to have you let me know--let the forum know--what you gather from reading about Eliezer and Rebekah. Note that the chief historical importance of Rebekah is that, by marrying Isaac, she was to become the mother of Jacob (not Jacob Black, but rather the Jacob who was renamed Israel) and therefore the mother of all Jewish people.

My Glove is with you always and everywhere, not only on the duelling ground.

I have a bad habit for saying 'My Bad' or 'My B' all of the time that I make a mistake or have an accident. I will be sure to let you, and the whole forum, know what I gather from the story. o.0 Wow. So I am taking it that Rebekah marrying Isaac was a _huge_ deal. And you compare _me_ to _her_.!? Woah.

laughing. Jacob Black. You know, I don't think that they ever mention his mother... :confused:

I Glove you _always_.

eek. Pink. You know that I like you at least just a _lot_ since this is the first time that I am using.... pink.... :p

haha that was kind of fun about jack black:D
 

Thank you, F-H, though the wisecrack was about Jacob Black the fictional character, not Jack Black the actor. Still glad to have you post here; this thread was never meant to be ONLY for Amanda and me, though I never tire of her company on it.

Amanda, my delightfully pure and innocent pink-font-using girl: yes, I do compare you to Rebekah. As was true of her, you find it simply natural and even enjoyable to show kindness and friendliness to others.

Her marrying Isaac was a big deal because, in Old Testament times, God made extensive use of family lines in His "spiritual laboratory." Once Rebekah's and Isaac's son Jacob had sons of his own, THEIR personalities began to develop in ways that would influence the character of the tribes they would establish within the nation of Israel.

So do your study; and then I can pretend to be angry at your findings, and "berate" you with make-believe criticism, which you will know is ACTUALLY my grandfatherly love for you and pride in you being thrown on you by the barrelful.

Some how I just don't see myself being that special and important. I guess that is just the lack of self-confindence kicking in. Which is okay sometimes, because I don't want to be a snobby, full of self-pride, ignorant person.

Their, meaning Jacob's son's personalities, influenced the character of the tribes around them in a good way, right?

o.0 I love being loved. yay! I can't wait until I can shove the Glove right back on to you. :]


fernshirehobbit - hehe. That joke was funny wasn't it. :D
 
Don't go away, Amanda; I just have to turn my niceness guns on F-H for a moment.

Fernshire Hobbit, you've got your NERVE, going and complimenting me like that! How can I ever achieve perfect gloom like my hero Puddleglum when insufferably kind-hearted people like YOU keep saying positive things about me? I hope you run right into a trainload of blessings and get knocked sprawling into a pile of happiness!!!!
 
haha. Mr. Possitively Nice (sp) you may call me "Fern", "Ferny", or "Fernie". it would take your marvelous fingers less time to type out:D
 
Going somewhere.? Who said I was leaving.? I am going to be here for at least ten more minutes. :]

fernshirehobbit - He is really great isn't he? Putting little tid-bits in things just to make me smile or laugh even more. :D
 
Now back to the opponent who has seniority in Glove-combat with me:

Amanda, since you are so NOSY, NAGGING me with questions about the Bible, I'll have to give you a non-beating and a non-whipping with some answers.

Not all of the sons of Jacob (grandsons of Rebekah) were GOOD influences. Reuben, who was actually Jacob's firstborn son, behaved as a grown man in a way that I hesitate even to mention on a family-friendly forum (but it IS in the Bible). As a result, Reuben was deprived of the dignity of the firstborn; and God "engraved" this forfeiture on history by seeing to it that the TRIBE of Reuben, though it was promised that they would not be exterminated, would never hold a leading position among the Israelites either.

The three most important of Jacob's sons were Judah, Levi, and my namesake. Levi became the ancestor of Moses the lawgiver, and of all the official priests of Israel. Judah was led to importance by God through a process of having to repent of some serious sins; but he ended up being the ancestor of King David. Joseph was more consistent in morally upright conduct than his brothers--so much so, that some Bible commentators have actually felt they needed to drag Joseph down artificially by putting the worst possible interpretation on his recorded actions. Joseph became the ancestor of Joshua and the great prophet Samuel.

Now, as penalty for your praiseworthy interest in Scripture, you must memorize all the chapters which tell of the lives of these Israelite patriarchs. If you do this, I will Glove you dearly and be ecstatically proud of you. If you don't do it, I will Glove you dearly and be ecstatically proud of you. So you can see how much is at stake!

Amanda, honey, you remind me of a phrase from John Milton's epic Bible-related poem PARADISE LOST:

".......a grateful mind,
By owing, owes not, but still pays, at once
Indebted and discharged; what burden then?"

Translated, this means that your gratitude is a potent Glove-weapon which blasts me with joy.

As for your being important, remember that your being important does not rob others of their chance ALSO to be important; so don't be embarrassed about the fact that you've become important in the life of your non-enemy Papa Joe.

o.0 Double posting again.

How rude I am? My quest for learning is absurd and so called for. I deserve every last one of your 'beatings' and 'whippings' of Biblical answers. I will smile and take them as you throw them upon me, willingly and thankfully.

Joseph was more consistent in morally upright conduct than his brothers.

You deserve his name and support it just as good as he did.

Oh my. There is so much at stake. I am going to have to do my best to make you proud so you will Glove me dearly and be ecstatically proud of me. I would never want to let you down.

--------------

I am overjoyed to be of some importance to someone. Espically someone who has helped me so much. Someone that I look up to and adore [in the best G-rated way]. I hope that I can carry on importance to you and others for the rest of my earth-bound life.
