I will see it again soon and will be accepted.

Spat out and then accepted later?

This doesn't sound like any form of Christianity that I'm familiar with. (I obviously am not a theologist or religious leader, so maybe I'm missing something.)

…But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. He asked, "How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?" The man was speechless.

Then the king told the attendants, "Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Quote:

…The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.

“Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’

“But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

“The first over the wall are always the
most bloody.”

Craig, my man. So sorry for being absent these last few hours. I read some of your posts, and, long story short, I fell asleep. Not to worry, I am back now to hear about getting raptured. Please tell me more, within the allowable constraints of the forum (I've heard religion can get violent, but hopefully we can keep it within the confines of, you know, getting shot in the dick).

I threw myself at the mercy of the court. You are a magnanimous man.

Also, let's deconstruct that statement a little. Not mad at me, "any more", why would you ever be mad at me, sir? Did I do something to upset you?

You're no Shakespeare. Nor even Matthew, for that matter.

Game of chess? I do believe you have a positive record against me. We can fix that.

You’d have to grow some balls and play an Open Sicilian, so it’s not happening.

I’m more into trying to reach 2900 then 3000 rating in the puzzles. I play very few games online these days and definitely not to play against whites closed Sicilian!

I do remember how you kept saying how good you used to be.

I don't remember saying that, but definitely sounds like something I'd say - that's what I tell all the girls.

What's your user name again bro (chess.com)? Let's clash horns.

Ok. You are a prophet. I have a bunch of questions.

1) Are you recognized as a prophet by any organized religious body such as a church?

2) Are you the sort of prophet who predicts things about the future? If so, have you made any prophecies yet that have proven to be true based on empirical evidence? If so, can you give us some details?

3) How do you receive communications from God? Are the communications auditory, visionary, telepathic, or some combination of all three? How often do you receive the communications?

4) If God communicates with you using words, would you say that God's messages to you are linguistically similar to your messages to us? How specific are God's messages to you? For example, did God tell you to spread his message on 2+2, or would that sort of thing be too specific for a message from God?

5) Are you able to induce responses from God more or less when you want, or do you have to wait around until God decides the time is right to communicate with you?

6) Why do you believe that you were chosen to be a prophet? Do you have followers?

7) Do you routinely tell people that you are a prophet? If so, do a non-trivial percentage of your acquaintances think you are mentally ill? (The last question is not an attack. I ask only because I imagine that a true prophet in the modern world would strike most people as mentally ill.)

8. Do you believe in polygamy and what is the legal age of marriage?

I don't know what game craig thinks we are playing, or what he means when he says that I have opted out of the game. He is unable or unwilling to answer these questions, or almost any of my other questions, in a way that I can understand.

I don't see how I can learn anything from a prophet that is unable or unwilling to communicate effectively with me.

But that's your fault for not following his leadership, because then his words would make sense to you. Gotcha!

Just know he was trying to present himself as a condescendingly spiritually enlightened individual back in 2015 and has seemingly shoved his head further and further and further up his own ass in the time since
