See, again your comprehension skills are hit and miss KFC. I didn't ask "How does one fall?" I asked "How does one fall HEAD LONG from being hanged?" Big difference First off Jill I cut and pasted your whole quote. I saw what you said. For brevity sake only I asked "how does one fall?" You're very quick to criticize. My answer would be the sa
I was just thinking.....Have you ever seen a happy muslim? They all look so angry and serious. I've seen the children smile and laugh but not the adults. It must not be fun to be a muslim.
I'll make you a deal, I'll be nice to you once you start showing a little bit of respect to the people you talk to. Can you elaborate here? When have I shown you any disrespect? <TD class="mb-Body-
Next time, try reading what is written before responding. This blog was written in response to your regurgitated source and I even quoted it in the original blog. You know it wouldn't hurt to just try to be nice ya know? Yes I'm impressed that you went to CARM actually. Just for your info...
With your explaination KFC, was there a tree in the field? How tall was the tree for Judas to be so high up that his bowels would spill out when he hit the ground? How exactly does one fall headlong from being hanged? Well if he hanged himself I would say there most likely was a tree to do it on. How t
Hi Andy, Interesting..... so....your parents are like me? Hmmmm? So what happened to you? hehehehehe As you know...I'm a literalist but I do believe scripture is both symbololic and literal. When it makes sense...seek no other sense is what I adhere to. I agree with Fox. Job is the oldest book in the bible. The really neat thing i
How did Judas die, by hanging or falling down? Matthew 27:3-8 and Acts 1:16-19 By hanging (Matthew 27:3-8) - "Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? See to that yourself!" 5And he threw the pieces of silv
Thanks LW for stopping by and......lilacs? I'm really not trying to convert or convince so much as trying to explain. I keep saying I can't convince or convert. It's not my job. While I do use scripture when I feel it's appropriate I certainly do not do so if I feel it's not wanted. So if you're the bad girl of JU.....what does that make me? Forget it.....I've already been told.......<img src="../images/smiles/lo
This is a true story. It was the summer of 1997, August 23 to be exact. It was a very warm day and as usual I decided to do my run later in the day because of the heat. I can't remember all that I did that day, but I do remember making my son a homemade birthday cake. It was his 15th birthday. Quite often that time of night, around 6 pm, my
Interesting discussion. I think of what Jesus said..."When I come back will I even find faith on the earth?"
Ok you're right......about the blog/site thing. I'll concede that ok? This anger you have towards me has more to do with the other blog than anything else said here. Admit it. You came here with preconceived ideas about me from that other blog. You came here not to discuss but to argue and push your point at me. It's ok to agree to disagree without resorting to name calling. I have yet to call you or any other blogger on JU a
Well, well, well, I guess I hit a nerve here? Let's see, I've been called, arrogant, uneducated, obnoxious etc. Why is that? Because I answered one of your apparent contradictions? That's what I get? Also how can I be shoving my Christianity down your throat when you are coming onto my site to debate me on what I wrote? Maybe it's the other way around? I can answer each and one of you contradictions but why bother? You are not goin
Yes this is as I said earlier is different than that of the Christian experience. We look at suffering as not something to get away from but part of our refining experience and draws us closer to him. As Christ suffered so shall we. Nobody enjoys suffering but it's lessened by realizing that God is doing a work in us. He never leaves us alone in our suffering. My example would be a silversmith refining silver. A silversmith takes the si
Draginol (yes again) You said: I don't sit around and reinvent the wheel. If there is already a resource that is better than anything I could quickly put together, then I make use of that instead. Productivity is the path to business success. Hence, the links to the sites. So what you're saying is.....you are taking someone else's word for this? If so....why not take ours? Actually I usually tell people not to take my
You're right Draginol....all you have to do is show me one contradiction and I will be wrong about the bible. I know tho that I can show you every supposed contradiction and give you the answer and you will not believe. why? Because unbelief is never satisfied. Never. Unless God opens your eyes. Who knows.....maybe God is trying to speak to you thru us. That's usually how it happens. God always uses man to do his work. Just to a
ok Draginol let's go with Judas and the seeming contradiction you see there. Yes I agree, when you first look at those two they do seem to be contradictory. But they actually do fit together quite nicely. Judas was very inept even in his trying to comitt suicide. As always...you have to take all the scriptures and put together. It all works together. First Judas conspired with the Pharisees to bring Jesus to them in exchange for 30 pieces
Ya, doc....ditto
Draginol One question. If you have read the bible as you say.....then why are you pointing me to a site to give me a contradiction? You should be able to come up with one in a nano second. After all you say there are so many contradictions so there must be many to pick from. The bible has no contradictions at all in it. I still can't seem to get any from people like you who say there are. I don't want a site. I want an exa
Hey Doc, you can put me in that "dark category" as well. The handwriting is indeed on the wall. I agree that WWIII will be as a result of the revived Roman Empire coupled with the events in the middle east. It's starting to happen right before our very eyes. But again after all is said and done... the darkest is always before the dawn........
I agree with you LW.....we have a local yokel here that for quite a while was very verbose in his letters to the editor on all the bad things about America. He was a liberal's liberal if you ask me. So I publicly using the same format offered to pay for a one way ticket to any communist country of his choice. Funny......he never took me up on the offer....but we did enjoy his absense for a while.
Well Draginol.......there's a difference...a big one here. We have no evidence that ERU existed now do we? You are trying to say that fiction and non fiction are the same or similar. What about all the archaelogy involved? There has been numerous digs that show the places, people, events etc are indeed who and what they said they were in scripture. Does that mean archaelogy proves the bible? No. It cannot prove and show that it is ind
No problem Dude....vent away. I do think our country has been blessed for a reason in our supporting Israel. If it wasn't for us I do believe the Jews would not be there. The promise to Abraham from God "whoever blesses you I will bless and whoever curses you I will curse" is still in effect. I would like us to continue in our support of Israel. But whenever we seem to support the Palestinians or try to cater to them.... something bad always seems
Dharma....it's not about winning. The battle belongs to the Lord. I'm just a warrior that's suited up so to speak. When I do bring people to Christ and they finally "see him" I say "one more that has slipped from the grasp of Satan." The war is not of flesh and blood but of spirit and principalities. There is a spiritual battle going on for men's souls and like I used to say to my sons....."I will get between you and whatever is going to take y
Dude, We are told to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. This was written many many years ago, and as we look over there we can see we really do need to pray for the peace of this great city. I know from what prophecy says that there will be a false peace over there as well as the whole world that will last about 3 years just before all hell breaks out. So maybe by praying for the peace of Jerusalem it will help usher in the second coming. <
Thanks Karma for giving me your point of view. I have never "studied" the Buddhist Philosophy like you. I have studied alot on the many different religions and ideas out there being involved in many of them but never been personally involved in the Buddhist movement. I have never figured out exactly what Nirvana really means. Can you "enlighten" me on this? Seriously I want to know. From what I understand it's something that you ca
