Would love to hear your room-mates thoughts Mark. And yours as well.

Thanks Sharon, I hope it works for you cuz mine uses the dictionary from microsoft word. If you don't have microsoft word I don't know what it will use. ----------- It's interesting to note that "the serpent" was also in the Garden of Eden that God created. Wonder why....

sharon, here's a spell checker for you if you are using internet explorer http://www.iespell.com/ after download and install just right click inside the reply box and click "check spelling"

Good teachers never teach anything. What they do is create the conditions under which learning can take place. -S.I. Hayakawa Have a short memory for mistakes, failures and behavior slips. Every child deserves a fresh start each morning. -from the book 501 Tips for Teachers

It's in the Master's hands to do this. And it doesn't say what the torture is. And there is an end to it "until he should pay back all he owed" All he owed is also in the Master's hands. Let's try not to guess at who owes what. That's an endless debate. But God knows.....

the chastening of the Lord God dealeth with you as with sons the encouraging words which God speaks to you as his sons Because the Lord corrects everyone he loves,and punishes everyone he accepts as a son your suffering shows that God is treating you as his sons but God does it for our own good, so that we may share his holiness -- Kind of takes the human element out of it don't it. In other words-it's coming from God to the person. Not from a person to a person. It really is in God's hands. This is why we must be sure when we speak. And people make mistakes. But God does not. Also if God was to correct us constantly, we would go insane probably. But people take it into their own hands to chastise. When they do they are holding that person's heart in their hands. God knows how to handle a heart, we must go with it as He directs from within. Take raising children for instance as Hebrews does. This IS where love has to be the Hottest of all. The nurture and admonition of the Lord. Love has to lead the way, otherwise you will break that person and end any good coming out of it. "so that we may share his holiness" isn't this the good? isn't this the point?

In '81 we had near 4000 go wow. More then what their real numbers combined are today. Should be a wake up to some, though some choose to sleep thru it all.

I like the way you are thinking sirg. And if God is Light then isn't Light also God? and all the colors within that light Love and Light coming from within... Sure does brighten up the place a bit!

why is what is who did it what do we do This is why going on tangents tangle people up. Taking this subject to extremes hardens both sides of the fence.

lol-yeah...AOL, the mafia of the internet. not to offend anyone who uses aol though-just my opinion But I've used their aim and can set it up as well. You can use the im without being a member of aol. In case anyone was wondering.

Certainly, gotta boot my kids off their games though-lol. Post it or email me the time and place. Other IM's-yahoo is the best outside of gsc's private ones. MSN's is a pain to work with imo. Cuz you have to be in their passport system. I have yahoo's-not sure about anyone else though.

"We each contain an enduring spark of that wisdom at the heart of all creation. Isolated and unsupported, it is a small but relentless spark. United with others, those sparks grow into a flame of illumination and strength for us all." from one of the sites you listed

Like Danny and Abi. Time is a factor. Got a full week ahead working day and night. BUT, it is on mind, and should prove to be an exciting experience. I have to put my soul into it. And when I'm ready I'll go for it. Keep me informed. "the voice of a more collective aspect of soul" Yes, the need to open up is here.

Maybe this should be a part of the forum rules. Just a thought.... At least we can make it a part of our lives though.

And there we have it. A Subjective and Objective look at it. As I understand the terms. And to give it a chance to be seen that it might be possible for it to happen in this "age" and the next. As if there is a difference between those two even. Just being open to the possibilities gives a wider base of exploration into what could be. I'm not trying to overthrow anyone's beliefs but rather build upon them. Surely you can relate to this Jb. As we know, today we realize more than yesterday if we stay open enough to learn on any subject. Inner and outer meanings-a two edged sword. Please take my prior posts as to where I was then compared to where I am now. And later posts could come from an even better understanding of it all. And I'll do the same for you. peace to you too

He's a lot smarter then me on a lot of computer stuff. He's been working with computers since he was 3 with our first comp and takes to it easily. But I have been able to help him figure out some things on it too. Which made me feel pretty smart. :)-->

You guys are cracking me up :D--> Can't wait till I get some Grandkids to spoil. I look at pictures of our kids when they were soooo little and it brings tears to my eyes. And yeah I am also known for strong coffee. If you can see the bottom of the cup, I call it tea. :)-->

I'm not smart enough to know much difference between the two. Regardless-both are real. That I'm getting a handle on a little bit. Thanks for your input sirg.

Didn't say a word about me and what i've been through. You assume when no assumptions should be made. You judge when it's not in your hands to do the judging. Sooner or later, twice we must die.

Make sure you make a specific folder for this file sharing. Do not let the program itself choose it for you. Change it's path.

You are only giving access to the folder that you use to share music. It can be copyed and moved to a different folder if you so choose. Your whole computer cannot be accessed by this type of file sharing. Just the one folder that you use to share files. And of course make sure you have virus scanning on your downloads.

My son uses WinMX. free downloads but he says they are slow and we have cable its a file sharing deal and some don't work not reliable but you can get some music without spyware and junk

Why is this thread still going David? You made your points on the first pages. Why haven't you posted anywhere else?

And when it's you watching you in that lake. Tell me about it. Cya on the other side of hell. ying/yang chitti chitti bang bang

Since romans 1 has come up let's look at a couple of key scriptures in it; Romans 1 21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 1st of all "when they knew God". So who is to judge that? 2nd "worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator" now there's a big topic 3rd "Who changed the truth of God into a lie" Yeah "knew God" don't underestimate what that means it's more then knowing scripture many know scripture but do not know God "the truth of God" tell me, who has known this. Most are still searching for it. To change truth to a lie, you must have the truth first. Watch that you don't take Romans 1 to extremes and hang yourself (figuratively of course-don't take that literally and go hanging yourself). Just a little advise-take it or leave it...
