I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. =1.2rem15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’=1.2rem16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

malachi 44 “Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.”
Oh.

My bad.

It means poop in Serbian - I thought you were being blasphemous. :)

Lol - I was making a joke the whole time. 

Southern whites are famous for two things in equal parts: Their respect for, and their ignorance of, holy writ. 

I was being a charicature.

I knew Malachi was a bible book, and I do NOT know malachi means "****" in serbian. 

But conceivably, it COULD. :LOL:   :wave:

And by the way, thank YOU for proving that there ARE principled liberals who wish to post on these boards who don't jump on every train the party sends their way - up to and including the pedo-express. 

I know in the past I assumed the worst of you on that score - and this, because SO **** MANY leftists have gone pedo, to keep up with the Stalinses. But you always came back and said **** that - and you were right there on the front lines arguing for the protection of children from predators.  :)

yes if He was making a metaphor it would be obvious. but He wasn't.

and He repeated that John the Baptist was elijah in matthew 17

6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”10 The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”11 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.

----------------------------

the disciples knew He was talking about John the Baptist.

one cannot get any clearer than than this.

which God? what reality? Every reality is a franchised ideology demanding membership dues or donate all one's ancestral time to making reality true to context.
