Yeah I think we're about "ripened in iniquity". Good choice of words! I suppose some (or many) would say that foks in ages past felt the same ("Good Lord Martha, a horseless carriage, it's the end of the world!"). It just feels like this time around there's a little bit of an edge to the times. Almost
It's been played through before, but I'm curious what other's observations might be. From subtle to not so subtle changes in everything from global warming to increases in persecutions, locutions, apparitions etc. Are we about there yet? Are the branches growing tender on the old fig tree? Should we start carrying our coats to the roof top? I'm looking for personal im
"And the love of many will grow cold." Perhaps the sifting of the wheat from the chaf?
My question to you would be......have you ever sat down and read the gospels yourself? Not the whole bible just the gospels? Yes. Pretty much every version in print, including Coptic; oft times with Strong's Concordance and extracts from the Latin Vulgate and Greek Septuigant for comparative study. I a
well I knew that...but I was wondering which verse? Sola Scriptura was my answer to your question: Can you tell me where I went wrong?
Shame they do not have a feed back button. Or an editor!
TW, Bravo. I guess that's basically my position in a nutshell with a few minor differences. MM, you hit it on the head but with the qualifier that I think Saddam had to go. dharma, I've been saying that all along to anyone whom would listen. Just flip open a history book, or even better look at the Bible; those folks have been at it a long time. Who in the hell do we think we are to impose western style democracy? A flip through most of the blogs
Can you tell me where I went wrong? Sola Scriptura
dont mean interpreting scripture. That is precisely what I mean. One has to interpret and then make the application. On a personal level that works fine for the most part. But in a publc way, say preching, or endorsements (or non-endorsements) as you pointed out it doesn't work so well. The denial of
KFC, please stop taking my replys out of context. Your defense of hurling your interpretation of scripture, as it suits you, is insulting at best, and offensive at worst. You are not the final word on how to interpret scripture. You are on a power trip. If you feel a call to preach get ye forthwith to a seminary or Bible college of your choice. Learn why wherefore and how, be examined and tested, and credentialled. Otherwise you are just so much wind b
SO they can teach us, but it is still their interpretation. Yes and no. When a body of religion, Christian or otherwise convenes a conclave or synod to decide which teachings are spiritual, and which are to be taught, and how they are to be taught, it is by consensus. Each faction/tribe/region, however
Hehehe...I always wondered if a drummers rhythm would carry over to other...ahem...areas. So....does it? This probably would go better over at MM's DOM Club post, but because you asked.... 1. A drummer uses multipl
TW, ya got yer head on straight! The problem comes when the little darlins get older, sometimes cash is the only thing (or a gift card) you can do. The items they are interested in are either expensive and would wipe out the whole Christmas budget or things like clothes (which if you magically bought the same thing they were going to get themselves, would still be wrong!) they want to shop for. You are right, it's not the stuff, it's the tradi
I suppose it just falls from the sky, too Well shucks no sparky, we plant it. You mean you never seen a snow harvest? You have heard of snow fields right? How do ya think you get them thar sno cones anywho? Well hell's bells son, the Seven Eleven would go outta bidness if we didn't growd it. I tell ya w
'cause we're all over with the musicians Careful I think you must have a short in your cord, it sounded like you're actually playing a guitar or something! Serious too...I like a bassist I can follow and complement cooperatively. ('cause his mama won't!) I had to laugh at the fol
I'm really familiar with Paul's letters and the gospels. And I was wondering......where about are you getting this? Cuz I don't see this anywhere. There is a great deal of difference when we're talking Scripture and Tradition Of The Faith. There are many, many sources in the Tradition Of The Faith that

Hopefully this year you'll get a lump of coal. You might actually prefer it to gifts. Ouch! Geez that's cold..........not korea cold, but cold....... <BR
And as a bass player, that's an important question to me. How come I can never find you guys when I'm looking? Drummer here.
So drooling is ok as long as not actually seen doing it? Only if it doesn't drip in the cleavage!
absolutly! as long as the gal is over 18 "What?" ::::::continues chalking the number 18 all over the carpet::::::
Ah ha! The plot thickens! She got the soon to be graduating step-daughter a Laptop/Printer/Digital Camera bundle. I have been assigned to teen proof it, (not parental controlls; anti-spyware, anti-virus etc.. I'd say idiot proof, but that would be unkind, she's a sweet kid, but she doesn't understand blonde jokes!). Trust me it needs to be done. "Why are all these strangers sending me email telling me to stop spamming them? I didn't send them anythi
Ok, now I am afraid. I was bribed! When she finally returned home about an hour ago, she asked me to help unload. It was obvious by the size of the load that she was using the side mirrors to back up.! As I silently hefted packages and bags from outside to inside, she handed me a bag (why do they always do that when you're standing there about to fall over from the load you're carrying?). She had picked up a replacement 200 GB hard drive for m
I think that may have been my wife!
Hussein, when he violated the terms of the Gulf War cease fire, fired on our aircraft, paid bounties to suicide bombers, thwarted sanctions and starved his people, etc. Just because one President could ignore it for eight years doesn't mean every President would. Point well taken. But isn't that more in
