[Kilted Stranger]

Hello and welcome to another edition of Question Time with... This thread is for you to pose questions to the mysterious stranger of kilts. Do so, but beware, he may ask questions back.

P.S. This is the exception that proves the rule "Never Talk to strangers :P"

[Richard]

Have you ever visited America ?

[stranger]

Do you understand the role of the many 'strangers' in scripture ?

Do you understand the role of the called who are not those chosen by God as His elect? [Many are called but few are (the) chosen]

[Kilted Stranger]

Have you ever visited America ?

Unfortunately not. Its something I hope to do in my life though :) - God Wililng.

By Strangers do you refer to the "Good" Samaritan who was a stranger to the Gentile, but yet stopped to help him out? If so, then yes. Strangers are called to help people without knowing them. "Love those who do you wrong. If we only love those who love us what is achieved. Do not the tax collecters do this?" I couldnt find the verse so forgive me if it isnt completely acurate.

By your second point do you refer to Calvinism? Im not sure I agree with that veiwpoint. For Christ came that all may have Salvation, not just the "elect".

I wasn't specifically referring to the good Samaritan , rather to such scriptures as :-

Isa 56:6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

Isa 62:8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:

Psa 69:7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.
9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

2Ch 6:32 Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name’s sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;
2Ch 6:33 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

Eph 2:11 ¶ Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Eze 47:22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

Joe 3:17 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

De 28:43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.

Ex 12:43 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:

Ex 12:48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

Ex 12:49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

Ex 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

Ex 29:33 And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.

Le 19:34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

Nu 3:10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest’s office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

De 23:20 Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

Eze 44:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.

Eze 14:7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:



By your second point do you refer to Calvinism? Im not sure I agree with that veiwpoint. For Christ came that all may have Salvation, not just the "elect".

[Kilted Stranger]

In reference to those verses, no I dont see the link between them all. What do you feel is the role of strangers?

[A New Dawn]

I have not run into you before, Kilted Stranger. Nice to meet you!

What is your favorite dessert? Do they have ethnic food over there in Scotland (like is very common here), and if they do, what is your favorite non-Scottish food?

[Kilted Stranger]

Nice to meet you too! :D

My favourte desert... Derby Cafe Ice Cream... Theres a shop that makes the best ice cream ever near-by so I get a wee bit of that now and then :D.

Favourite food from another country? hmm... Does Pizza count? :P I quite like a bit of Chinese, noodles and chicken and stuff. Rather scrumptious :D

What is your favourite food?
My favorite foods are sushi and pizza. If I was stranded on a deserted isle, I think pizza is the only thing I could eat every day. ^_^

[Kilted Stranger]

mmm Pizza is good. I had it for my lunch in fact. :) But what toppings? My favourite is just plain old margaretta. Or however its spelled :D

[RED that's ME]

Have you ever eaten Haggis?

[A New Dawn]

What is margaretta?

I like a variety of things on pizza, but my favorite is plain cheese.

[A New Dawn]

Will there be Presbyterians in heaven?
Isn't there a saying that everyone in heaven will be Calvinist? (I read that here, somewhere. :D )

[hopper]

[stranger]

Then who's on the new earth in the New Jerusalem?

Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

[Kilted Stranger]

Have you ever eaten Haggis?

yes. Its lovely! :D :yum:

[Kilted Stranger]

What is margaretta?

Margaretta is just the plain cheese one ;) i quite like having mushrooms on it though. :D

[Kilted Stranger]

Will there be Presbyterians in heaven?

I would say so. :)

As to who will be in the New Jerusalem, I think every one will rule with Christ for the 1000 years until we go on to Heaven. Dont ask me about the Logistics.

[ej]

Do you often wear your kilt?

Do you really play the pipes? Does it annoy the neighbours?

[Kilted Stranger]

I wear my Kilt as often as possible :D I love my kilt heh heh.

Yes I play the Bagpipes :) And Actually, the neighbours quite like it... Ive been lazy recently and stopped playing as often, and they are beginning to complain! :)

Do you play any musical instrument?

[ej]

Do you play any musical instrument?

I used to play the French horn (beautiful instrument but I gave it up age 16 because I didn't think it was very ladylike).

My neighbours play bagpipes though :P

[Kilted Stranger]

And do you complain? :P

[ej]

And do you complain? :P

Ah, no :)
I can only ever hear then when they open their windows. And I like them anyway! I also like it when I stumble across people practicing their pipes out on the Crags. It makes me feel all Scottish :D

[CaDan]

Which clan?

[Kilted Stranger]

alas, none. I think my family were lowlanders and so not part of a clan.

Which is rubbish!

[ej]

What's your favourite Scottish band?

[Kilted Stranger]

Favourite Band? hmmm... toughie Scottish Power Pipe Band are very good :)

[Kilted Stranger]

who else will dare to step up to the plate?

[ej]

I've already asked some questions here, but if you're wanting more I'm very happy to oblige :)

What subjects are you studying at school (Highers?) and what do you plan to do when you finish school? Year out? University? Straight into a job somewhere?

[Kilted Stranger]

Last Year I started out doing 5 Highers (Maths, English, Geography, Biology and Religious, Moral and Philisophical Studies RMPS) I had to drop Maths through the year cause it was rather difficult and im not that way orientated and I failed my Biology. I got a B in English and Geography and a C in RPMS.

This year I am taking Adv Higher Geography, Higher Drama and Crash Higher Music.

Once I leave 6th year, I hope to go straight to University to study Divinity and to get my Batchelor of Divinity (BD) and then go to the church to enter into the Ministry.

I eventually want to become a Chaplain within a Childrens Hospital. :)

What do you work as?

Hey, you've got it sorted! :clap:

Good choice of degree and job by the way. Any idea which University? When you graduate from Edinburgh University, you get 'doffed' with an item of John Knox's clothing, rumour has it...

Coincidentally, I work in a childrens hospital! I work with grownups too (we move between the different hospitals in town), but I like the Kids best.

[RED that's ME]

[Kilted Stranger]

My Dream Car is a Car that works, and is free to use (petrol bills included) And that has loads of cool accessories :D

Actually Edinburgh is my Favourite at the moment.. though Ill go wherever accepts me :).

That sounds awesome :D What do you do when you go in?

[ej]

Wise thoughts :)
My sister had Edinburgh as her favourite this year, but didn't get an offer. She's starting at Nottingham next week

I did my first degree at Edinburgh Uni, and I'm doing my research doctorate there now. I normally surf CF when I'm supposed to be working on my thesis :help:

That sounds awesome :D What do you do when you go in?
I research during the week, so I only cover the hospital at nights and weekends. That means the nurses call me if a kid is sick, or needs to go to the operating theatre, and I go and see the kid and their parents, and operate if necessary, or just take care of them on the ward.

Sometimes it's really sad, especially working with kids who have incurable things :( I've had a few good chats with the nurses and auxillary staff, and they all say it's difficult for them not to get upset too. But most of the children (and their families!) are so incredibly brave, they could be an example to many.

[Kilted Stranger]

ooh.. your going to be a Medical Doctor?? ooh! Sounds like fun! :D

[carmi]

What is your idea of a perfect way to spend a Saturday?

[Kilted Stranger]

hmm.... in Heaven ;)

[carmi]

hmm.... in Heaven ;)

I guess I got THE answer :thumbsup:

[Kilted Stranger]

heh heh. :) how awesome is it gonna be though?? :D heh heh.

I Cant Wait!!!!! :D :clap:

[Kilted Stranger]

whats everyone up to today then?

[Kilted Stranger]

the Scotsmans awfu' lonely...

[KristianJ]

Aye, it be the kilt :P

Non-serious question: Do you know anybody who resembles Groundskeeper Willie from The Simpsons :D
Serious question: Do you support a Scottish football team and if so, which one? :)

[Kilted Stranger]

Unfortunately Not. I would love to know womeone who looks like Willie. :D would be brill.

I dont really support any team, Im not really sporty.. heh... but at a push I would say Scotland first, then maybe Rangers ;)

[Sweet Pea]

Where is your favorite place to hangout?

[Kilted Stranger]

wow... havnt checked up here for ages! :D

I love to hang out in The Basement - which is a floor at my church that is specifically for the Young People. Its really cool. Full of Sofas and it has a pool table!!! ;)

[pdudgeon]

have you ever thought of looking up your ancestors? or has anyone in your family traced their family back?

[Kilted Stranger]

Ive thought about it... But I just dont have the time or energy... or patience to do it.

We went to one of these places once though where you can research it and apparently I origionate from Saxons who invaded England and worked our way up to Scotland where we became Messengers.... Or something like that...

Anyway.. to answer your question not really :D

[KingZzub]

Do you know Donald?

Do you know where his trousers are?

[RED that's ME]

What big adventure would you like to do in your life?

[Kilted Stranger]

Man.. It is dusty in here!!!

Donalds trousers... aye, tis a fair question. His trousers are still in the tailors... silly man!

MY big adventure... hmmm... not sure, see a Revival for sure.

[ahmunmun]

How come I haven't seen you post in the Prophetic Ministry forum, which you moderate?

Love to get to know you over there, since you watch us (I hope)... :)

[KingZzub]

Let's go kill and roast some squirrels.

[pdudgeon]

what do you like to do when you have a day off and nothing planned?

[KingZzub]

have you danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

[pdudgeon]

Zzub, what were you doing awake at 3:45 am???

(i know, dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight.LOL)

[KingZzub]

I was not awake at 3.45 am.

I awoke at about 8am this morning.

Cheers,
|ZZ|

[pdudgeon]

Ah! so then it was not you i heard going 'bump' in the night.:D Must have been Kilted Stranger.;)

[pastel]

My cats usually go "crash" in the middle of the night. :)

[pastel]

"From ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties
and things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord deliver us!"

I have that embroidered somewhere. :)

[pdudgeon]

yep, that must have been it, because it was my suitcase that went 'bump' in the middle of the night.

i'm assuming it went 'bump' because i didn't hear it fall,
but it was on the floor the next morning.;)

So Kilted Sranger, what has gone 'bump' in your life recently?

[ahmunmun]

Is Kilted Stranger still checking this thread?

Also... do you guys know if he has ever posted in the Prophetic Ministry forum, which he used to moderate?

[Kilted Stranger]

/me still checks this thread on occasion.

Also to answer your question ahmunmun it is possible to moderate forums without posting in them. Reading is enough :) I dont think I have ever posted in the forum, but that doesnt mean that I didnt check up on it.
