You prove my point here... the KJV == "The Mormon Bible"... ....... And to EL: Outer Darkness is not in the Bible. No one has demonstrated otherwise, except to further prove that it is in the Mormon's twisted version of the Bible. HUH???? The King James Version may be used by the Mormons,...

Addendum: What about your own personal hypocrisy in your simultaneous belief in marijuana and in a religion that disdains intoxication of any kind? How do you justify the kind of material on your website when you claim to have "faith" in Christianity? Christianity does not "disdain&q...

Outer Darkness is a MORMON thing. Wrong. Prove it. You haven't, yet you talk with the authoritarian flare of an expert. I know this one. I live in Utah and quite often am told the very clear differences. And the proof is at www.biblegateway.com. The words Outer Darkness are not used together in the...

As the topic of contradiction, EL seems to have summed that up fairly well, so your claim is still rendered false. I might recommend, if you have any allusions to competency, that you read whole arguments in their original context before submitting your input. I might recommend, if you have any pre...

Is luminous the first OSC fan on this board who actually agrees with OSC's politics? I can't think of any others... my oh my this is going to make a few interesting threads, I can tell already. ( Starting off with a near ad hominem... just, wow.) I do, and more so. I've just spent so much time argu...

Sibyl

Heh...well..sorry about that..I looked at the post above it. Still, though. It takes me about 2 weeks to finish a book :( Depends on the book. Most of OSCs serious ones take me a couple of days, now, some more, depending on length and how much time I have to give it. When I was in high school, the ...

No one is chatting.

At 1:34 AM, that's not surprising. But there were several of us in IRC dalnet's #Anglican, where you'd be welcome. I don't do AIM, myself.

I make a compromise on the happy holidays/merry Christmas and will sometimes say happy Christmas. Well, not really. But I do say that anyway sometimes. But "Happy Christmas" is the way lots of British people say it all the time anyway.... I don't know how "Merry" became American...

How old am I? Let's see... Approximately 12057120 minutes, if my math is correct. I did remember to take leap years into account. I'm actually a little disappointed that no one has asked what that comes to in years. Either you all have calculators handy or you just don't care... I'm inclined to thi...

Sibyl

I don't really agree that God owns us. He gave us the gift of life, self-conscious life. It's a gift, and hence it's ours now. He has no right to have it back. If God told me that, proving the OT right and me wrong, then He can commit the genocide Himself pretty well, and doesn't have any right to ...

Anyone who wants to do chat in a friendly place is welcome at dalnet's #Anglican, where I'm channel owner: you can get a taste of it with Java, which is not really very satisfactory (there's special software that you can download which is a lot more versatile, if you like it), from dalnet's home pa...

And A.B., the internet is for porn AND sci-fi forums. It's about 80% for the former, 19% for the latter, and 1% for everything else. In other words, 99% of the internet is for people who aren't getting enough sex! :lol: I think your estimates are a little off. There's a lot of porn, okay, but I sta...

Well, there's that, but I think his official website www.hatrack.com has a bunch of members. They're too good for us. Well, I'm registered there too, but it appears that the only way to post there is to move into the Alvin Maker universe. I enjoy Alvin Maker, but I'd rather converse in my own voice...

Sibyl

If God asked you to kill every person in a town, (effectively committing genocide) would you do it? As to whether or not God would ever actually ask that of his followers, I refer you to the Book of Joshua, notably the Siege of Jehrico and the Conquest of Caanan. I am not asking whether or not the ...

I was reading Revalations when I noticed 1:3, where it says "the time [of the prophecy] is near". Considering that its 2,000 years later and Most biblical scholars agree that the events of the book haven't come to pass yet, what does he mean here? Psa 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sigh...

Sibyl

Or it could be that Christians believed the second coming would be some time during the first century...

They did. They believed that "this generation shall not pass away...". But obviously they got it wrong. Even Jesus' disciples got wrong a lot of things that He said.

I just finished "Lost Boys" on Christmas Day, by pure coincidence. I had no idea that the last big scene would be on Christmas Eve, and the book's been kicking around the house for a while--the cover and blurbs gave me the idea that it would be imiatation Stephen King, and I detest SK: I w...

Congratulations, lyons!

Enjoy your Rite of Passage!

Well, actually, the "inflammatory language" is an allusion to a new book [url=http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n20/eagl01_.html]"The God Delusion"[url\] I'm sorry Sibyl, but I can't make heads-or-tails of this article. I'm just going to take this paragraph: "Dawkins holds that the ...

Haha. IP is a dead end. It will show up somewhere in Kansas, thousands of miles from me!

Not really a dead end. Some of us are in Kansas, and some of us are in Oregon. And we pass information around....

Perhaps I jumped the gun saying that Trinitarians and non-Trinitarians alike attribute that verse to Jesus Christ. Jehovah's Witnesses sure do and since I had never heard that verse before becoming a Jehovah's Witness I just assumed it was a given. But it goes along with "He is the image of th...

Sibyl

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that the impossible is actually possible.

Mat 19:26 But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Sibyl

I'm talking about what most people believe. My perception is that most Christians DO believe in a corporal resurrection, but I may be wrong (hence the poll). Well.... I guess "most Christians" would be Roman Catholics, other sorts of Catholics, Anglicans, and Orthodox: I suppose adding th...

I need to apologize for my tone in my previous post. I was not meaning to sound like a jerk. It's just that when the same "mistake" and explanation for why it is a mistake is thrown out there and it's wrong and each time I have to explain it again, each time I get a little bit more irrita...

And Happy Holidays too,
To all of you!

And what you said "It isn't very well respected by Greek scholars" is most likely something you read on the internet on a Christian apologetic website like CARM or something. And the way you explained "there is no indefinite article" reeks of Christian apologetics. And how do I ...

Another fun phrase that seems relevant: "Everyone who disagrees with me is a moron." Irony is really hard to do in e-mail (or board posts) A really good way to say this without insulting other people who don't think about it carefully is to use a word from another e-community of which I'm...

Just a couple of things in this post, because I keep reading back through the thread and galloping off madly in all directions, so have to limit it.

Contrary to popular belief, Jesus came back as a spirit. "Why, even Christ died once for all time concerning sins, a righteous person for unrighteous ones, that he might lead you to God, he being put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit. "-1 Peter 1:23 and "Indee...

A tenet of Christianity is that the son of God, Jesus Christ, died, and subsequently came back to life. I think that all reasonable people would say that a person can not die and then be brought back to life. It's just not possible. And it's well known that the church has always said that Jesus was...

I'm not sure how reliable it is, but the article claims that swear words in a person's native language are actually processed in a much deeper, more primitive part of the brain than regular language. I'll testify to that! My bunch of girls in college were group-friends (and sometimes paired) with a...

Sibyl

heh. i'm sure she had it rationalized. People are all different. Probably most people rationalize things so that "bad", even "I just want to" looks "good". But I do believe that some people don't care, and "I want to..." is all that counts. They're called soc...
