    Another Countdown

    Probably a distant cousin of Buckeye Chuck. (Shameless plug for Buzzard Day)
  2. The gospel that Jesus preached was addressed to Israel and it was completed. It's in writing for our learning not for our copying. snip The gospel record is Old Testament. We were taught this in PFAL. One would have to subscribe to "dispensationalism" to accept this as accurate. There are two ministries of Christ, and you're looking at the old one. Where is it declared that Jesus Christ had two ministries?
  3. There are actually two separate aspects to this. First, you have a doctrinal aspect. Is it really possible for a person to be born of the "wrong seed" and is this what Genesis 3: 15, as well as I John3:9-12, is referencing? That aspect would best be considered in the doctrinal forum, in my opinion. Then there is the actual aspect. Nowhere in Genesis 4 does it ever say that the reason God cursed Cain was because he was born of "the devil's seed". Yet, Wierwille, in dealing with the account in Genesis 4, makes this proclamation on page 76 of Vol. III. "Because Cain was born of the devil's seed he was accursed of God and his offering could not be accepted. Regardless of one's theological beliefs, it is clearly an inaccurate rendering of what is written.
  4. If I had to declare ONE rule of faith and practice, it would be The Golden Rule. It transcends religious boundaries and theological inclinations. But that's just me. :)
  5. Mr.B. In the semi-early days (late 60s, early 70s) everything was pretty loose. Lots of hippie types showing up. You could go to twig in jeans and a tee shirt. You could meet spontaneously in a public park. You could have a "believers meeting" anytime there were 3 people and you felt like it. That looseness attracted people. They were already turned off by formality so this seemed like a fresh approach. Then it gradually got more regimented. Nicer clothes required for attendance. Long hair was now frowned on. Meetings had to be at certain times and follow a set format. Then the suit and brief case phase was ushered in. Then there were forms and schedules and rules and regulations and on and on --------until it began to resemble what people were looking to get away from in the first place. By the time it ended, it changed into what we were originally looking to escape. But it happened in small increments. And if you changed along with it, you didn't notice until there was no one left that resembled the "original" you. Hope that makes sense. edited---2x post
  6. Here's another: Vol.III, page 76 "Because Cain was born of the devil's seed he was accursed of God and his offering could not be accepted. Genesis 4 tells of Cain's treatment." This is private interpretation on VPW's part. Here is what it actually says in Genesis 4 :8-12. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew him. And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? And He said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from my hand. When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. ********************************************** Nowhere in Genesis 4 does it say that Cain was "born of the devil's seed". edit: (Or that it was for this reason that he was accursed of God)
  7. I talk to the wind.My words are all carried away.The wind does not hear.The wind can not hear.
  8. Mark Ham made those references on posts # 678 & 680.
  9. Only a squirrel can appreciate the true "nuttiness" of it all.
  10. I'm not so sure about the "wasted" part but It would have been great to down a few brews with Muddy Waters. It seems like just about everyone he mentored went onto success in their own careers. The list reads like a "who's who" of modern music. Makes me wonder what The Rolling Stones would have called themselves if Brian Jones hadn't been inspired by Muddy's song with the now famous line, "I'm a rolling stone.".
  11. Late at night it's hard to rest So I hold your picture to my chest And I feel fine
  12. Leaving On A Jet Plane---Peter, Paul and Mary (and, of course, John Denver)
  13. Not my cup of tea. I've already wasted too much time worrying about whether I was wasting too much time
  14. Your patronizing insults have worn thin. "I'm too busy to be bothered with you.." "You guys don't have the necessary brainpower." "None of you ever learned how to study." "You're all too lazy to work at this." "No one was paying attention." "I'll only discuss this in PM's so I can control the secrecy." "You guys are wasting my time." etc. etc. etc. etc. Unless you can approach this, or any other subject, like a rational human being and have a healthy respect for others opinions, I see no valid reason to attempt engaging in this thinly veiled PFAL "info-mmercial" any longer. Good luck, Mike
  15. Whether or not I have a rule of faith and practice or can cite an LOC number is really irrelevant to your premise regarding PFAL.
  16. Perhaps you should pose that question to the government agencies who dropped the ball in New Orleans. Make sure to include the racist overtones.
  17. Well, there ya go! Who says you can't "cast out" devil spirits?
