nippy316 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 WHOA...nice work MC and Jake. Jake, did you have to brainstorm to make that analogy?? That was complex--and completely accurate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Jake's an engineer; he's good at thinking intricately! And MC, well, he's just brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Huether Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Again, thank you. But really, if a point was made, God was the one who made it. I really didn't have to brainstorm at all. It kinda just popped into my head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman82 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Orchids are flowers, orchards are where fruit is grown.... Anyway, SkubaSteve, when were the apples replaced by oranges???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Huether Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Orchids are flowers, orchards are where fruit is grown.... Anyway, SkubaSteve, when were the apples replaced by oranges???? Huh! I noticed that, and actually spell checked it. But since Steve first posted Orchid, I went with it... Not at all to blame it on Steve. Anyway, that was my mistake. Okay, replace all the Orchids with Orchards. Hehehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatholicAndFanatical Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 wonderful analogy guys, now im hungry :D Praise be to God for your talents, im awaiting an answer from Steve on this one.. CatholicAndFanatical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatholicAndFanatical Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Actually, Lets go in the direction that steve went and say the Original apple orchid was there, but 1500 years later oranges decided to be planted. we all know the story so far right... Ok, So in the Manual for growing apples that the founder of the orchid left us, it talks about divisions among us, that we should only be apples, there will be others that come along that will bring false apples and they will be called oranges..My point? God Wanted apples, not oranges, if your an orange..your not with God who started an apple orchid (sp?) and only apples. Those oranges only share in some of the soil only because they are washed in the same blood as we Apples, however, their roots cannot grow deep and cannot reach the full promise of the apple orchid creator because, well..their not apples. ok, im not making sense but the whole point to my horrible analogy is that the important thing to remember here is God doesnt want oranges, he created Apples, Apples are the Truth, healthy, shiny, pure, non blimished..come to the Apple. Apples...mmmmmm CatholicAndFanatical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatholicAndFanatical Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I love fairy tales... especially non-applicable ones how is this not applicable? Just one way to describe in laymens terms the foundation of the Church. I see no fairy tale in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
