[less]

Yes, at least our leaders there are showing some indication of humility.  That's a very big lead.    

Would we ever see Kerry (or P. Clinton) doing that??  I don't know.  Maybe flipping the bird to the photographer, I guess.  


Right now, Tuesday eve, from over at Drudge:  

Popular Vote 11% of Precincts Reporting
George W. Bush   55%   8,101,550   
John Kerry   44%   6,502,610

Electoral
Bush 102
Kerry 077


So right now, P. Bush definitely in the lead, but that's only 11% of precincts.  89% still to go.  So it's still very early.


'Just thinking, tho, what if Kerry DOES win - militarily, to me, the absolute unthinkable.

I just see us, militarily, overseas, in a total rout, if Kerry wins.  

And, in our Supreme Court - we have possibly four seats coming open, in the next four years?

Yikes!  With a liberal President, our Court will become even more liberal than it already is!  

Just those two realities, I think, would be the beginning of the end, if not quicker, for the U.S. - quicker because of a castrated military, but perhaps longer as the court gradually becomes more and more a liberal, socialist court, and legislates us into subjection to the U.N.

That's the way it looks to me - a deathnell militarily, and in our courts.

I agree with your summation on a Kerry administration. Our military would become less than a police force. With Kerry in office then former P. Clinton would become a shoo in for Sec Gen of the UN. That with a drastic change in the courts would tie us in to full control by the UN.

[BIG ONE]

This is the soap box that I use and it's a BIG ONE!

[without a cause]

I have limited time this morning so I will give you a brief statement on this.

Mat 5:21  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Mat 5:22  But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

This does not necessarily mean brother as in sibling nor does it mean that we are to hate him.

If you can check back with me here I will present the rest the Bible has on this.

[F]

Hmmm, I only count five.  


FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-      

SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-

IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE

EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...


and I've already violated any time limits - by far.  


*sigh* I waz alwayz the last one finishing tests, too.  


HMMMM.  WAIT!   THERE  ARE  SIX!

I just now noticed another one in the 'ofs'.  


Dumbkopf!

How dumb can you get.    


*sigh*


And I've had to 'study' it too, at least four times, just to 'find' all six.  

*sigh*

It's all for naught.  I'm dumb.  It's true. *sigh*    


But it IS a good game.  Actually a little sophisticated.


How would you know it single out 'fs' as a letter people would repeatedly miss?

Why do we miss them?

Must have something to do with the way our lips pronounce them - linguistics.  

B/c the 'f' in 'of' is pronounced entirely different from the 'f' in 'files', so we miss it completely.

Because we're 'lip' reading, when we try to find them.

I'll betcha that's why.  But TimV ain't here no mo, so we can't ask'm.  


   

When reading most people do not actually read the word "of".
Our minds for some reason pass over this type of word. Try writing a paragraph sometime using "of" frequently leaving it out in numerous occasions. Most people will not even realise that you left any out because their minds will assume it to be there.

[FIESTY]

In his case fiesty is spelled  FIESTY  

LOL!   What a cutie! I'm glad you've got that little friend!

Thank you. He has been a really big help to me since I became handicapped. He has certainly been a very faithful little helper.

LOL. Both are funny yet so sadly true.

MY nightmare is also along those lines but with Bill Clinton getting the position of Sec Gen of the UN. It is a position that he has announced that he will be going for in 2006 when Kofi Anons time is up. It is believed that if Kerry makes President that he will get it.

Silver Surfer,

I do understand what you have been saying. There is a difference between the "Law of Moses" and the Ten Commandments. It is a difference that many people do not understand.

The Law of Moses has to do with the sacrifice of animals, the how and wherefores of setting up the sacrifice altar plus a few other laws given by Moses. These laws were done away with, (or I should say changed) with Jesus and the cross.

The Ten Commandments were given by God to Moses on the mount. Yes these commandments do still pertain and as followers of Jesus we are to keep them. The important thing here is to understand what it means to be under the Grace of God through Jesus Christ. Those that attempt to keep these commandments without accepting this grace first will be condemned to an eternal death.

Rom 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

If we love Jesus we will have the desire to abide by these commandments. Will we succeed even after accepting Jesus as our Saviour? No for we are still in the flesh and the flesh is weak.

Mat 26:41  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

He will continue forgiving us for our weakness (sins).

1Jo 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jo 1:10  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Can we overcome those sins when we are tempted? With His help, yes. When tempted we must take it to Him just as we must do if we were weak and fell into temptation.

That is the wonderous benefit of grace.

Rom 6:14  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

My child dressed as a Florida voting machine !  

Oh No! That poor child.

blackeyedpeas,

I understand the health problem and how it can affect a person. I am suffering from the Gulf War Illness. A problem that has hit many Gulf War Veterans. There are times that I cannot think straight, remember things, and sometimes cannot get out of bed because of it. Not complaining here just saying that I do understand. I join in prayers with Bronzesnake for your health and well being and in your request.

Thank you for clarifying your statement. I didn't mean to sound contentious either. I feel that such things are minor details anyway being that the most important is that we will not be subjected to the condemnation of hell by having our name in the Book of Life through the Grace of God through Jesus Christ.

May God bless you both.

[NO]

The definition of the word 'custom' " a usual practice, habit. social convention carried on by tradition."
Are you saying that we should be dressing as they did in the early church? Are women in your church braiding their hair? that is forbbiden if we were to follow your interpretation .

Blessings,
bluelake

What verse 16 is saying is that they had NO custom that defined a requirement for the length of hair. That he (Paul) really was not concerned with such a trivial matter as length of hair. His main concern in this letter (chapters 10 and 11) to the Corinths was the women in the church that were acting like the pagan priestesses and prophetesses (acting like men) and was telling them not to follow that example.

So that leaves us with 1 Tim 2:9 and 1 Pet 3:3.

First lets look at 1 Tim 2:9.

Here it is telling them their place in the church and how to go about properly conducting that position. Being "modest" in appearance is just a part of that. Modesty here is in comparison to women of that time and in that area that were putting their hair in real fancy broids way high on their heads (called beehives, if I remember right). Modest apparel was not saying that women have to wear dull looking clothes such as straight black or gray dresses. To be modest here is saying to be properly covered and not to wear all kinds of gold and pearls or other such adornment. Simple ear rings or a wedding ring, perhaps a simple necklace, not outlandish but simple. This was in comparison to those women there that wore jewelry in their hair, a dozen neclaces, a ring on every finger and such all over their dresses.

Does this mean that women cannot put their hair in a simple twirl on top of their head or a simple bun? Not at all as it is a simple, modest hair style.

1 Pet 3:3

Here the main idea behind this chapter is the relationship of a man to a woman and woman to the man. That the woman should be more concerned with having her heart right (the inward adorning) toward God and toward her husband than to spend a lot of time on the outward adorning.

People that take these verses as a single verse and not read the whole chapter, very frequently misunderstand the intent of them. One must read the entire subject to get the proper message being relayed.

Pastor Roger,

ahhhhh ...........  you are not convinced .........

maybe I should brew up some more reality coffee?


Shalom, Nana

Be sure to drink a whole pot yourself.

I wasn't referring to Bush or Graham.

conspiracist  

MalkyEL,

"Our current president is a 33rd degree mason [satanic]..."

Where do you get this from? President Bush's is a member of the United Methodist Church and is an avid listener of Billy Graham. Have I been in the dark about the methodists and they have masonic levels now?

 

blackeyedpeas,

The Great White Throne Judgement will be a place of dread and fear. Christians won't be there.

I see there is something that we don't agree on.


Rev 20:11  And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Rev 20:12  And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Rev 20:14  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.


Here it tells us that all are judge at the "great white throne" as the book of life is opened there. Those saved by grace have their names written in the book of life.
