  1. My general rule is to refrain from posting or answering anything Way related on PM. I do occasionally make exceptions to discuss unrelated matters like musical equipment, gardening, cooking, etc. But, that's me. Your mileage may vary.
  2. Welcome to GSC, fredgrant. I have a busy day ahead of me, but I'll try to give it a go when I can. (Sometimes it helps to post a bit of a snippet to pique peoples' interest.)
  3. When it comes to things like original languages and origins and meanings of specific words, I think it's in our best interest to default to the experts who have dedicated their careers to this field of study.
  4. VPW may not have taught specifically on the canon, but he used its chronological sequencing extensively to push his agenda. The administration demarcations, doctrine/reproof/correction epistles having to appear in a specific order, to whom it was written, etc. These concepts all rely heavily on an exacting sequence of canon. But, the sequencing and interpretation of its importance is a man made reality, devised to promote various agendas. This is why chronology and source of origin can not be lightly ignored.
  5. The Word doesn't say anything about the canon. If it did, you would have told us what it says a long time ago.
  6. Mike That's straight out of PFAL. (Session #5? I don't know. I'm an old grad who probably wasn't paying attention.) "STAND!...something, something, something." Well, I'd like to add to that by saying "Don't look down!" You might find you're standing in something that's, eh, how do I say this?, not the most desirable thing to stand in.
  7. HERE is an interesting youtube from the "Who Wrote The Bible?" series that deals with the origin and chronology of the gospels. The episodes that precede it deal with the old testament, while the episodes that follow it deal with the epistles, as well as Daniel and Revelation.
  8. Here are the 2 statements you made that seem to conflict: *God did not intervene to help make the KJV happen. *He had his hand on the process all along. No. I meant to say that Matthew is sourced from Mark and Luke, Mark being the first written, along with another source which has since been lost.
  9. These two statements appear to conflict. I'm sure you must also be aware that Paul died before the Gospels came into being and that Mark was the first one written. Matthew and Luke are sourced from the information in Matthew. *(Bolding added.)
  10. Does this include the biblical canon and the significance of its specific order?
  11. I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
  12. Boy, howdy. I'll tell you what really WAS absorbed, though... those lipstick stains. There's a secret way to get rid of them that most people don't know because they either weren't paying attention or didn't study their instructor's manual the way they should have. It's all in there. You just have to read between the lines. That manual is just packed with hidden gems, waiting for the meek to unearth them.
  13. I try to stay on Mike's good side because I figure, if and when he gets his class together (I'm believing for a film class.), he might let me be in charge of refreshments. I can stretch coffee with the best of them and make those old foam cups look almost new. I have a secret way of making lipstick stains barely noticeable. Or, I could string some chairs, unless I've forgotten how to do it. I probably wasn't paying close enough attention to the fine details of the process like I should have the first time around. There's a lot of nuance that gets lost on us old grads as time catches up with us. That's why we have to come back to the guiding oversight of those who have mastered the process.
  14. In an effort to demonstrate the Universe revolves around Earth, The Way International has announced its own space exploration program. The first venture will involve a crew of four, departing on a voyage to the Sun. To avoid burning up, they will be making the trip at night. (The capsule has been christened Four Crispified.)
  15. Can you do that? I mean, if it came from God, it belongs to everyone.
  16. Some might say there were leaders who were "Lude fellows of the baser sort"
  17. It's a good thing it wasn't a film class; she looks too young to know about splicing.
