In reply to mansions..., posted by krazy kat on July 22, 2002, at 21:01:31
... who believes that he has many mansions - notice he doesn't use the phrase "big houses" or "large-ish dometic dwelling spaces..." He calls them MANSIONS. This is a VERY particular word, chosen with care, here, ringing a very particular bell for Christians.
Those of us who attended Sunday school against our will (like me) probably can't recall, but all you Biblical scholars will know chapter and verse what the exact quote is - something like "My house has many mansions?" "In my house there are many mansions..." And God said it, or Jesus said God said it -
So Lou thinks he is God. That's mighty frightening ...
Hey, isn't there a separate board for these guys? Well, there sould be. And then the rest of us who DON'T think we're God could continue our discussions about things "of this world."
