I think that this is an extension of the concept of "expanded literal translation according to usage." (See my previous post, re: charity!) Since others have already mentioned HoHo and Happy Hearts Day, let's not forget "Bless and Treat." <_< George

Incidentally, it should be "Whence are you from?". ;) George

What a darling little boy! Of course, I'm a bit partial to these two: Young Batman and Robin George

"How do you stand it, changeling, living where you don't belong? Are you happy?" "I'm as much a part of the place as anyone else." "Oh, I doubt it. They tolerate you, but you're not one of them. Being what you are, you can pour your square shape into a round hole, but you don't really fit, do you?" "Don't you feed your prisoners?" "The fact that you just killed a man doesn't affect your appetite?" "It was him or me. And if he'd have killed me, I wouldn't be hungry now." "That... Croden... is an interesting character." "I wouldn't know." "Really? I thought you said you got to know him rather well." "I never told you that! I merely said we chatted when he bought a drink or two." "I've talked to several people who saw the two of you engaged in heavy conversations, while Morn here says you even bought the fellow a meal." "Morn should keep his big mouth shut!" "I'm sorry if I made things awkward; I didn't have much choice." "Why not?" "My needs exceed my skills." "Home? Where is it? Some day we'll know... cousin." "Have you known any twinned Miradorn, commander?" "I'm afraid I haven't met any before now." "In my species, we are not just twin brothers... together we are a self... two halves of one being. I am incomplete now." "You could've left me behind." "Don't thank me, I already regret it." George

I found Waydale about a year before it closed. I think I posted a few times as GreenLantern. (It was so long ago...) George

Of course faith was almost always supplanted by believing. And then there was charity, which became the love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation in the household. George

Not on my playlist, either. The hard part about this thread is to find songs that are almost universally popular. George

That's it! George

Okay, then... "Must go faster! Must go faster! Go! Go! Go!" George

I would suggest that mathematical axioms are necessary only insofar as one needs mathematics. The rules of mathematics are based on definitions of operators and some axioms, from which the remainder can be deduced. One doesn't need to presuppose a God in order to have a worldview, but one either believes that God exists or does not exist. Either belief is a non-falsifiable assumption, i.e., an axiom; and one's worldview will be based on it and conclusions derived from it. I also want to make clear that every axiom is an assumption, but not every assumption is an axiom. If the assumption is testable or can be derived from other, more basic, concepts, it is not an axiom. George

Do not exist. These would be conclusions, not axioms. I don't know what "your point" is. My point is that we all make assumptions upon which we base our conclusions. The examples I gave were not "straw men"; they were accepted examples of axioms to demonstrate my point. What "proven/established logic and evidence" is the basis for your belief system? George

That sounds really familiar, but I can't quite place it. George

I think Ian McKellan might be in it, but I really don't know. If he is, I could go from there. George

First, I have to wonder if Garth thinks he lives in a world without axioms, where somehow everything can be proven. Garth, do you believe that X=X? Prove it! Do you believe that X+Y=Y+X? Prove it! These are just basic mathematical axioms which most high-schoolers know. (And, at least when I was in school, they were taught AS AXIOMS.) Do you believe that God exists? Prove it! Do you believe that God does not exist? Prove it! Again, either of these statements, if accepted (and since they are mutually exclusive, one or the other must be true), is an axiom. From a set of axioms, logical conclusions can be drawn; but there are no "first principles" which are not axioms. For me, it is axiomatic that if the Bible is God's Word, then it is inerrant. (I suppose the actual axiom is that God is inerrant.) A conclusion from this axiom is that if I accept the Biblical assertion of Jesus Christ as God's Son, I must also accept that Moses parted the Red Sea. Others may pick and choose what particular parts of the Bible they wish to believe, but there are axioms underlying any such choices. So, perhaps I should re-state my thesis: ASSUMING the axiom of an inerrant Bible, the fundamentalist methods used to interpret it (as per Bullinger and many others) are logical. Feel free to disagree with my axiom, but don't pretend that you don't have others. George

Indeed. (Though it's spelled "Tutti Frutti.") Your turn. George

Charlene, the only problem I have with the article is that you describe the inerrancy of the Bible as a TWI conclusion. I don't remember ANYONE ever saying "...therefore, God's Word is perfect." The inerrancy of the Bible is an AXIOM, something assumed to be true without proof. For me, a fundamentalist, it is not only reasonable but also makes the Bible more than just a bunch of short stories. It makes more sense to me to believe ALL of it than to pick and choose. George

I'll go again, then. "Wop bop-a-loo-mop a bop bam boom!" George
