You guys are so much fun, how can I stay away?
Like an addiction, I have to come back for a new fix.
Really, don't get dull on me.
The verbiage makes me feel right at home, having grown up in it.
2 of my buddies at work are like that too, we give each other our doses of daily abuse, having been friends for decades.
It's like a mutual admiration society in reverse.
But I admit, as a Christian, I go easy on them.
Not like my BC days.

Speech or writing that uses too many words, or excessively technical expressions. I've never heard that word before. Learn something new every day

Losty,
What word?
Coffee and a nap?
A lot of coffee and a nap????
I just had chocolate and a quarter cup of coffee and am ready to bounce off my chair.

Verbiage. :p
I've had just a few hours of sleep in days, the hours of sleep I did have were not all that restful. I'm exhausted. Tired of being tired all the time. I think coffee and a nap is just what I need. No chocolate though. Sugar in the morning makes me feel super icky.

I was taking a nice relaxing bath and I remembered a question one of you had, so rather than take a bath-nap (do any of you take naps in there?) I came back online....
Quoting Ksa:
professor Wrote: The hard part (and I mean sweating-hard) for myself was making the decision to get off the throne of my own life and placing the real king there. The King who died in my place.
THAT is entering the Ark.
(Ksa continued)
Do you realize that the Revised Standard Version of the Bible does not make it very easy to believe in the ascension, trinity and crucifixion of the Christ, much less in him dying for the sins of men. You're telling me what the apostles of Christ interpolated...I wish to know what the Master has to say. Where does the Master say any of this in the Bible?
My reply-
Ksa, I use the King James or Amplified sometimes.
But it doesn't matter if these exact words are in there or not.
The concept is there.
The terms, trust in, believe on, believe in, call upon, and many other words convey the idea.
In the OT, the entire system of animal sacrifice to cover the sins of the nation for a year, was a foreshadow, a prophecy, of what the Messiah would do in his own body- not for a mere year, but forever.
Maybe you should throw that RSV in a recycle bin?
It is probably a version that came from the corrupted Hort/ Wescott deal I heard about.
Simon, critical thinking and rationality?
You made me think of something.
There are only 2 groups that know what is going on.
The Illuminists and the aware Christians.
How is that for rationality?
Losty where's the sexual innuendos about professor thinking about KSA in the bathtub?
No offence, prof. I'm just that immature when it comes to innuendos. ^_^
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

What, your face took off like a rocket?
You might want to see somone about that. It doesn't sound healthy.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
