Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire My father was just murdered, I was with him yesterday as he passed away.

Just went back and read past the original post.

I'll put on my jackass hat now.

Good grief. Why would you lie about that?

Oh well, another day on the internet.

Scott, thanks for that well-written post.

I don't bother to rise to the Christian or Anti-Christian bait here on the 'Fire, there's no percentage in it. Mark's alleged Christianity is nothing more than a facet of his psychopathy, a tool he has used multiple documented times to further his many agendas.

I do not condemn the man, but we were admonished by our Lord:

"Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16"You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?" Matthew 7:15

And the Apostles were no strangers to frauds and deceivers:

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1

So let me join you in responding to the "calls for Christians to come out and make a stand." I have mistrusted Mark for years, stemming from verified complaints of his swindles perpetrated through the 24HCF Classifieds, then his gauche and vulgar posts of his semi-naked wife and public boasting about details of her sexuality, then his incessant "woe-is-me" calls for pity (and funds!) while putatively suffering the trials of end-stage renal failure and then his miraculously-obtained kidney transplant. All the while his posts here on the fire proclaimed his faith, his love of the Lord, and so forth.

A liar and fraud is a bad man. A liar and fraud who uses the name of the Lord to further his sins, and to try to camouflage himself so as to deceive more victims and avoid consequences, is in trouble with more than the laws of man.

"Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23"And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'" Matthew 7:23

Mark has a lot more to fear than the courts of law of the United States and the approbation of his fellow 24HCF members, but apparently he is too deeply mired in his sin to recognize it.

So those who call on us to be "Christian" and forgive him, give him a pass, or whatever... GFY. Our faith does not call us to give those who willfully sin over and over again a pass.

Point of interest, my Irish Great-Grandpa was murdered, or so says family lore. Pushed off of a building under construction in Brooklyn by an Italian co-worker, that was the belief among his kin tho' there apparently weren't proof.

Had to be around 1910 or thereabouts. They put in a stone when they buried him, next time I'm up I shall have to try to find it

Happy to say I only glanced at this subject. It's not too often you get a warning about a derailment and can stay away from the train tracks. The name of the "member" was the only clue I needed.

Thanks for sharing.

And family rumor has it my Great great Grandfather was hung for stealing horses....


Very plausible.....

the funny part is scott, my wife is sensitive in that area too, yet she continues to say YOU are a nice guy, go figure?

Hey this thread was about done anyway.

My great great was kilt by the yanks while running liquor up the cape fear.

I'm setting up a gofundme page for his funnel.

Do you have a go fund me page, I'd like to help.

WTF are they gonna say about us, we died in a hospital with tubes up our nose?

I fugged a midget once

Mine was hung like a horse........

Thanks Doc. The part that hurts me most is where he fits the mould so well of the kind of christian (note no "C") that makes up an accurate stereotype that makes non Christins want nothing to do with us. Looking at Mark's actions I cannot blame them.

I hope to go out a little more noteworthy, but I'll settle for not having fugged over people multiple times before dying.

Black fella huh.

My great, great uncle was hung because he shot some dude in the back.


His name is Jack McCall....maybe some of you have heard of him.





And yes he really is my great, great, uncle.

Aren't "Irish" and "thief" synonymous?




Travis

The thief?

A true Christian...
