Both ducks and geese render a *lot* of fat. Much worse than chicken or turkey.

Not a bad thing at all. But if you're not prepared for it there might be a lot of oven cleaning involved. Yes, this is the voice of experience speaking.

@TrevorGoodchild @transgrammaractivist > And yet Dread and I and others figured out the fix was in months ago.

Yep, and while I agreed with you about the A/B divide, I had reservations as to whether team B would be able to stop team A from stealing it again.

You both were right and I was wrong.

I'm still hoping team A completely loses it once Trump is sworn in and begins pushing really hard for liberal secession.

@sickburnbro @cough > what do *you* think this means, though

There are two parts to the commandment.

Love your neighbor as yourself means to love those who act towards you as the good Samaritan did.

Go, and do thou likewise means to act towards others as the good Samaritan did.

@BionicNigga @sickburnbro @cough > It was the Samaritan who was illustrating the principle of love of neighbor by caring for the man on the side of the road, despite the general animosity between their peoples.

Bingo. Now, why couldn't you just have said that to start with?

The Samaritan was "being his neighbor".

But it had nothing to do with physical proximity. If that had been all it was the priest and Levite would have helped. But they demonstrated by their lack of action that they were not his "neighbors", even though they lived closer and were of the same tribe.

> It has nothing to do with repaying others' kindness.

I never said it did.

@BionicNigga @sickburnbro @cough > "Neighbor" != "benefactor".

And yet that's exactly what Christ said it was.

> i.e. he did what was demanded by charity towards the man on the side of the road

And that was Christ's definition of neighbor. Those who are in charity with one another. A person who hates you is not your neighbor, no matter how close to you he lives.

> because *that man was his neighbor in that moment by virtue of being in his immediate sphere of influence so he had the ability to help him in his need*.

You're conflating two definitions into one and denying Christ's explicit words.

> All three who passed by were neighbors in this sense,

And yet Christ said only one was.

> The point of the parable is anyone you come across is your neighbor, even if they're from a group you don't like (Samaritans and Jews hated each other),

The point is that you are to be a neighbor (show charity) to all. But the commandment to love was only to those who show charity to you.

> Good grief you KJVtards are annoying, this is why God instituted a Church and not 30,000 book clubs to interpret His holy Word.

If you're church denies the clear meaning of Christ's words it's not part of his Church.

@cough @sickburnbro > always thought neighbor meant your peoples. But not a biblical person so not really sure.

Christ himself was asked the question "And who is my neighbour?"

He responded with the Parable of the Good Samaritan.

And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

@Escoffier @Sulla_Felix @somemightsay > Why do you think the Catholic churches lampshades weren't removed for gross and ongoing sin?

Well, this is pure guesswork. I cannot know the mind of God.

But my guess would be that while the leadership was corrupt the local parishes were still performing the duties Christ wanted: Performing the sacraments and teaching the Gospel.

I don't think that's the case now. I think the majority of all the clergy in all the mainstream denominations have been corrupted and no longer teach the true Gospel. If you can find one who isn't that's great, but recognize that he's either going to be in a small denomination outside the mainstream or he's fighting an almost certainly losing battle against his own superiors.

@JohnYoungE @Escoffier @KingOfWhiteAmerica @Sulla_Felix @somemightsay > So I believe the actual Church -- this priesthood of all believers

One thing I continually come back to that the 1928 Anglican Book of Common Prayer absolutely gets right is that the Church is the "very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people".

@BadOptniks @patris @JohnYoungE @Escoffier @KingOfWhiteAmerica @Sulla_Felix @somemightsay > A marriage ceremony is nice to have but it's not required for a holy marriage. A Christian should want to be married in their local church. Neither is a funeral ceremony.

You misunderstand the nature of the ceremonies. They're not just for the individuals involved. They're for the whole of the church to recognize and celebrate or mourn the event.

Nope, nope, nope.

You absolutely *have* to have standardized marriage and funeral services.

It's also a very good idea to have a standardized service for welcoming newcomers and children who have grown into the church, but I'll grant that's not absolutely necessary.

Given your structure above, I'll agree that ordination and confession aren't actually required.
