Me and my brother are real big on snakes. We regularly go up to the Great Smoky Mountains and look for copperheads. We've found a few and my bro has even been bitten by one. It was his fault. He was being naive. Anyway, I'm trying to see if I can identify that snake. The closest thing I can come to is some weird corn snake. It has the corn snake/rat snake kind of head, but I'm clueless. What is it?

How big are giant rabbits? I've seen some normal pet rabbits but never a giant one.

My brother used to have a black and white rabbit named Sarah, but she got out of her cage (which was outside at the time) one day and got run over. I also know a family who had a bunny named Basil. He was really funny. We would go over to this family's house and at different times Basil would all of a sudden start tearing around in circles at top speed kicking his legs everywhere. It was pretty funny. He lived around 10 years I think, maybe more. He died just recently.

I have a Golden Retriever and a very large American Toad (Bufo Americanus). My oldest brother has a leopard gecko, two tree frogs, a mud salamander, a slimy salamander, a spotted salamander, and a long-tailed salamander (I think). He also has a leopard or pickerel frog. He used to have a black widow named Medusa, but she died (my mom was real broken up ). And we also used to have multiple scorpions back when we lived in the Southwest (New Mexico). My mom won't let us keep snakes. It's not because she's afraid of snakes, it's because she doesn't want to have to keep mice in the freezer.  

I am having an extremely hard time following this conversation, but I would like to say that the word Antichrist does not fit in a lot of what has been said.

The Antichrist is a person, not a belief. The Antichrist is somebody who draws a large number of people away from the truth in the Bible and creates a counterfeit. I think Josph Smith could be one of the Antichrists mentioned in the Bible. I think Muhammed could very well have been an Antichrist. I think the Pope *gasp* could very well be an Antichrist because a lot of Catholic beliefs are nothing short of blasphemous.

BTW, Ambassador4Christ, I didn't take the time to read all of your posts, but the ones that I did read I agree with 100%.

What's so bad about MN sports? I do agree with you about the Traitors, though.

GIVE ME AN "H"! GIVE ME AN "O"! GIVE ME A "C"! GIVE ME A "K"! GIVE ME AN "E"! GIVE ME A "Y"! WOOHOOO!!

*applause* Thank you, thank you very much

You guys are missing something very important. The SDAs can't even say that Saturday IS the seventh day. True, Saturday is the seventh day in our calenders, but our calenders didn't come around until well after Creation! So for all we know, the day that God rested could be Tuesday.

Basically the SDA belief is too legalistic for its own good. If the world were to all of a sudden adopt a new calender that had the seventh day be where Thursday is now, what would the SDAs do? Now you might say that God expects us to worship on the seventh day whether its on Saturday (like the current calender) or on Wednesday (like a future calender might have) to honor His day of rest. But I think that is placing too much stock in worldy things. The world is always changing. We can't go chasing the seventh day around. God just wants us to honor a day, no matter when it is, and worship him and rest on that day.

"Oh foolish Galatians! . . . Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?"

I don't believe SDA is a cult. I believe there are good Christians who hold to the SDA beliefs. However, the SDAs are most definitely wrong. Just to give you an example, the SDAs strictly follow Biblical teaching by worshiping on Saturday. But even they miss some important aspects. For instance, if you strictly follow the Bible and worship on Saturday, you also have to strictly follow the Biblical day. The Biblical day starts at sunset the day before and ends on the next sunset. So, even the SDAs are off, because their Saturday night services would actually be on Sunday morning according to the Biblical day. And according to that their Saturday morning services should actually be on Friday night.

What I'm trying to say here is that the SDA belief is way too strict. So strict, in fact, that even they don't follow it completely.

Hey!

My name is Timothy Estabrooks. I'm 13 years old. I'm 5'10" and 130 lbs (I'm not overweight, by the way. I'm actually slightly skinny). . .And I plan on becoming a lawyer and then running for the Senate because the goernment could use some good Christian people.

I live in Andersonville Tennessee. I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and then my family moved to Carlsbad, New Mexico, and then Westminster, Colorado (a suburb of Denver), and then Tennessee . . . and hopefully that's all you need to know about me.
