Hey all.

coconut theology

coconuts for Jesus
Welcome to the RF,had a good day at work and now liberating a beer from a pint glass,true hero.
Thank you for the welcome. What do you do for work?

Hmmm, (I pray you do not take unnecessary offense) as for alcohol, I am not a friend to it, and an enemy to it (not you). Several reasons, one scriptural (Proverbs 20:1; Habakkuk 2:15), the other personal, as my own brother while intoxicated, and under tremendous pressure, took a steak knife to his wrist and cut long ways down, jaggedly ripping through tendons and veins, thinking to end his miserable existence, quite some years ago. He lived (barely, after trying to fight off the police who arrived to try to save him for the ambulance that was coming, and took him quite some time to regain use through therapy), still has the scar from emergency surgery, and still drinks and has very low thoughts of himself. I have seen the alcohol destroy quickly and slowly in agonizing ways the lives of others of my family, as well as marriages and relationships to children. My aunt, who likes wine and gin, barely has any mind left, and is very sad to be around.

I know I asked about your day, but thought I would share just a bit about the subject. I do not condemn you for your statement. I would say that if you put away the beer forever, that would place 'hero' in my book to your account.

"Here" is RF.
We eat pictures here.
Pictures might be too high calorie, as you know the saying, a picture is worth a 1,000 words, and depending on the richness of the image, it might be much more, like a cheesecake factory level.

Have you ever masticated through the book of Daniel, or Revelation? The images that are smithed there are quite filling.

I eat pictures, but not books.
That would be ridiculous.

A little over a year ago. However, you are inspiring me to read it again and study the dreams and Daniel's interpretations.

Anything specific that you would recommend that I focus on?
Compare each word in it, to other same or similar words in it in each chapter/division (so when in one place it uses a word, see that same word in the other chapters of it alone). Also, the underlying foundation, or 'structure' of the texts/words. There is a very interesting chiasms, mirroring that goes on there, from 1st to 7th chapter, and again another pattern arises in 8-12. Also, if read alongside Leviticus 16 & 23, but that can be done after the first read through.

I would be interested in your findings, or take away from it after a few read throughs.

It's all about moderation and drinking for pleasure not effect,drinking beer is pleasurable to me.

I currently work as a chef in a busy restaurant but I also do some farming,I'm not religious btw.

Thank you for the kindness and smile.

You're welcome. :)

Chopin, hmm, what do you recommend for first time listener to Chopin, to try out. I really like Handel and Vivaldi, and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture with full canon (just reading the comments on youtube on this are worth the time to listen to the full thing).

I like Chopin but I prefer Beethoven really. But there is one track on the disc that gets me every time. It was used in the film "The Pianist" and you may have heard it before. (See below)


Ohhh, that sounds good in two ways, relationship with mum and food. Do you bake/cook also like your mom?

I don't sadly. I should cook for myself, but then I might be in danger of cooking more gingerbread and ruin any attempt at dieting. I've had 4 gingerbread biscuits today and they are so nice as we keep chicken so the fresh eggs have really added more flavour. I'll try to not have any more till tomorrow at least. ;)

Let me know how that went, hopefully good. (Sorry, I wasn't able to reply till much later, as I ended up having to help an elder with their computer (laptop) issues). Took some hours, and then was busy uploading, editing, etc.

My dad got most of the gravy before I could get a chance, but it was lovely. Sweet Potato, parsnips, carrots, Brussels sprouts and chicken. Perfect!

Technology wise, I'm usually the one that breaks things so my parents don't tend to let me touch their computer if they can avoid it. They still ask for my advice though. :D

Cold where you are, not where I am (tropical humidity), but there came a nice breeze, to cool and dry a bit.

Always nice to have functional tools, like a keyboard and mouse. In fact, mine are getting up there in age, use. Keys starting to stick. I had at one point a 90 dollar wireless mouse (excellent spinwheel, precision laser, etc), which broke, and then got another, and it broke in the same manner (left click copper spring would break). Seems not all parts are made equal in it, so I stopped buying so expensive things, and have a freebie optical mouse from a now and recently deceased aunt.
Delhi, 49 F, cloudy at the moment. That is quite cool for us.
I am not enamored of these fancy gadgets. I like the old wire-connected things. The mouse and key-board cost me some 4.5 USD. My son wants me to use blue tooth, got two sets, both went dead. We have a saying in Hindi "Naya nau din ka, purana sau din ka" (the new one will last for nine days, the old one will last a hundred days).
Pictures might be too high calorie, as you know the saying, a picture is worth a 1,000 words, and depending on the richness of the image, it might be much more, like a cheesecake factory level.
If it is a BMP, it is likely to be more meaty.
I like alcohol but I am a very light drinker. However, I have lost a brother and a brother-in-law to alcohol. They did not know limits.

Why not coconuts?


Did you know that coconut water can be used as a replacement for blood plasma in surgery ? It can also be injected to increase the amount of blood in your veins and improve physical performance.

Coconuts, spinach....the world of hardcore bodybuilding !

That would be ridiculous.
Ezekiel and John were an eater of books:

Eze 2:8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
Eze 2:9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
Eze 2:10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Eze 3:1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
Eze 3:2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
Eze 3:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

Rev 10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
Rev 10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
Rev 10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
Rev 10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
