It's an insatiable yearning for stretched coffee.

You have to understand, though, that God gave him revelation, showing him where to find the Xerox machines.

When I was in Jr. High, I did a book report on Huckleberry Finn. (using Cliff Notes, of course) At the next school assembly, I was awarded a PhD.

I want to say TWI is a blip on the radar screen of Christianity, but I don't want to disparage radar screens.

And yet there's that 1% that still insists...

It's all a facade. Like flats in a stage production.

When I first heard Princeton, I thought he went to barber college. (Princeton was once a popular haircut style for men.)

¿Por qué no los tres?

They're on their way to PFAL to deliver a fresh load of...uhhh...collaterals.

That van looks like it's about to stall.

You could have at least learned to spell Gödel properly before you dropped his name, in a failed attempt to latch onto authority. But, anyway, like So-Crates said,

Princeton Theological Seminary is a real educational institution. The problem is that it's not the same place as Princeton University. Many people were led on and left to believe they were one and the same. Now, Pike's Peak Seminary, on the other hand was...can I say bogus here?

Have you already forgotten about the information surrounding Pike's Peak that was discussed here about a month or 2 ago? Did such a location exist? Yes. Was it an academic institution? Most decidedly not.

So, you're OK with receiving stolen property? I think there are laws somewhere that address that sort of thing. Oh, but wait. God told him to steal them so it's all good. amiright? For the record, I don't really care what they say or if they're accurate. My point of concern is that he presented them in a way that implied he was the originator. He wasn't.

So, you see there was this talking donkey...

Since Mike appears to be unwilling or unable to answer the question directly, I'll throw this out here informally. Who here was under the initial impression that Wierwille had authored the "literals"?

Me: "YES or NO" Mike: "Well, ya see, it's like this..........." So, there you have it, folks. This admission speaks volumes

Here's a softball/yes or no question for you, Mike. When you first heard the "literal according to usage" declarations, were you aware they weren't authored by VPW? (Don't cop-out by saying they may have been by revelation.)

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/hyperbole "Hyperbole is not supposed to be taken literally."

Hyperbole is lying if you lead people to believe it's literally true.

Yes, please do. Documentation of said incident would be appreciated, as well.

And yet, we all thought grammar was of utmost importance regarding the comma placement in Luke 23:43.

Mixing tenses is a common error. In this instance, it conflates the finite with the infinite.

They are not even remotely similar. "Even if it never comes to pass" is nowhere near the same as "Even if it doesn't happen today". To be clear, I'm not telling you what to believe. What I am telling you, though, is that these are grammatically not equivalent.

I thought omnipresent was that old Dodge someone gave you as a gift.
