. . . is that they express themselves so sincerely and with such brief efficiency, from the cores of their incarnate beings.
You can even see their little rib cages squeeze sometimes when they have something to say.
Whereas humans often go on and on at such length and with such elaborate and deliberate palaver that it gives the impression they are connivers who are up to no good.

You’re bored out of your mind.

@pb1022 saidHow much more bored is that so-called Christian among us,
LOL.
You’re bored out of your mind.
who turneth his attention to such a transitory and tiny thing as my post,
and sheweth forth thereby his addiction to contumely,
as one who only pretends to abide in the Christ he only pretends to espouse?

Imitating a cat lover now ?
Let me ask you Kevin, You've done a lot to demonstrate that you can be quite clever. Now are we all to assume from this that you are also wise ?
I mean like - "Look I can be real clever. So you know I have wisdom too."

If so, can you provide an example?

@sonship saidYou almost sound proud of your own lack of originality. To each his own I guess...

"Originality" is a criteria which you added.
I said nothing necessarily about the man's "originality".

You hear what you want to hear.
It is virtually impossible for any person to not be somewhat original.
As our finger prints and our voices and our personalities are "original" somewhat, so often is our utterance, expressions, way of speaking.
However, having said that - you and a couple of others have been trying for YEARS to get me to blush (if I could, my complexion is dark) at the fact that I follow and repeat and speak like Christians that I have learned from.
If you haven't gotten it by now - you are wasting your time and energy in that endeavor. It has never worked. And you probably need to explore some other objection.
Now let's be reasonable. If you learned a lot about successful chess play by studying games of, say, Bobby Fischer, WHY on earth should you feel embarrassed / ashamed / second or third class /un-legitimate / unoriginal about following his ideas ?
At any rate, I learned a lot from two brothers Witness Lee and Watchman Nee.
And I feel honored to speak like them and even more to live for the Lord like them.
You are WASTING YOUR TIME waiting for me to be embarrassed that I copy, sound like, imitate either of these two brothers.
Now go off, put on your "defender of mainstream Christianity" (which you think is hooey anyway), hat, and learn what this means -
"The things which you have also learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you." (Phil. 4:9)
Its true.
