  1. Ok, then Swordfish John Travolta Pulp Fiction
  2. Linked 2x through the X-Men on the same page, George? Why not link through the other wizard if you're stuck? Or maybe the 1/2 elven dude if he was in the movie?
  3. This is indeed that song. The other song, off the same album, was "Boy in the Bubble." I dislike hotlinking videos directly into a thread, but I have no problem with clickable links to them. Here's the link to the official video. "You Can Call Me Al." "Boy in the Bubble."
  4. Here's the supposed second "key." 2. Stand fast on what you have received. God will not tell you a second time until you obey the first. Ephesians 6:10-13." ================================ Ephesians 6:10-13 (KJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. =============================== There is absolutely nothing in there concerning revelation or even secular instruction-and this "key" was supposedly directly about divine revelation. That there was a verse-reference makes it look like this "key" had a Biblical basis. If so, why invoke verses that had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT WHATSOEVER? It obviously wasn't a mistake or typo, because that would have been fixed by an editor or proofreader in the short run. It was meant specifically as camouflage. -------------------------- I would expect that supposedly applying this "key" requires minding 2 other keys given later- -Revelation given once MIGHT change -Revelation given TWICE is established (will NOT change) Add that to this one, and the understanding of this one becomes -Carry out the revelation you've been given one time. Do not wait for it to be established with repetition. If later revelation contradicts this, it supersedes the current revelation and has precedence over the current revelation. Naturally, that is a lot more sensible, but it does NOT fit on a bumper-sticker and may have been too long for vpw to memorize. ---------------------- Galen, that was the one, although it could have been ANY that I foolishly tried to follow and ended up discovering it didn't work in practice.
  5. Mrs Wolf said Love, Actually Martin Freeman The Hobbit:An Unexpected Journey
  6. Ok, different song, same artist. (I'll name the previous song when the next one is named.) "A man walks down the street. It's a street in a strange world. Maybe it's the Third World. Maybe it's his first time around. He doesn't speak the language. He holds no currency. He is a foreign man. He is surrounded by the sound The sound- Cattle in the marketplace, Scatterlings and orphanages. He looks around, around He sees angels in the architecture Spinning in infinity. He says 'Amen!' and 'Hallelujah!'"
  7. I'm stuck on the second one. "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang the Drum Slowly"?
  8. Could be an attempt to lampoon serious spy movies, like "Johnny English" or something.
  9. Here's what I found on #1 offhand. ========================= 1. To receive revelation you must first become meek. James 1:21, Ps 25:9 Sincerity is not meekness. Meekness means you’re willing to change your mind and do God’s Word. Solomon – I Kings 3:5-15 I Kings 11:1-13. ======================== Ok, let's see if those verses are in any way relevant to "to receive revelation you must first become meek." 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. =============== James 1:21 has nothing to do with "to receive revelation you must first become meek." It looks like it's speaking SPECIFICALLY about The Written Word, which is nothing to do with "receiving revelation". That would contradict what was said about "Word of Knowledge", which said "4. It is not a knowledge of God or His Word. This comes by study, learning, and application of self." So, clearly it's irrelevant, a distraction. =========================== Psalm 25:98 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. =========================== Again, nothing about "to receive revelation you must first become meek." It's about God instructing people, but neither says this refers to revelation nor says meekness is a requirement for any revelation. So, another distraction. ========================= I Kings 3:5-155 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. 6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 7 And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in. 8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. 9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? 10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; 12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. 14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days. 15 And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants. ======================== Still waiting for a verse reference that actually addresses the supposed "key" of "To receive revelation you must first become meek." ======================= I Kings 11:1-131 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites: 2 Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. 3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. 4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as did David his father. 7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. 8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. 9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, 10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the Lord commanded. 11 Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant. 12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. 13 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen. ================================= That's all the verses given to supposedly give examples of, or to explain, "To receive revelation you must first become meek." The class that's supposedly teaching this key has no verses whatsoever to explain it, no Scriptural justification in a class supposedly based on Sola Scriptura, supposedly all explaining what the Bible said on subjects. Is it reasonable to think this key, then, is Scriptural, seeing as no Scriptural basis for it was ever actually given, and several verses WERE cited but formed a distraction FROM it and were labeled as an explanation? I think not. That is not a REASONABLE conclusion. That is not a LOGICAL conclusion. One may make a "leap of faith" that it is, but only by disregarding reason and logic.
  10. "It was a slow day. And the sun was beating On the soldiers by the side of the road. There was a bright light. A shattering of shop windows The bomb in the baby carriage Was wired to the radio." "It was a dry wind And it swept across the desert And it curled into the circle of birth. And the dead sand Falling on the children The mothers and the fathers And the automatic earth." "It's a turn-around jump shot It's everybody jump start It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts. Medicine is magical and magical is art" "And I believe These are the days of lasers in the jungle, Lasers in the jungle somewhere. Staccato signals of constant information- A loose affiliation of millionaires And billionaires and baby These are the days of miracle and wonder. This is the long distance call. The way the camera follows us in slo-mo. The way we look to us all. The way we look to a distant constellation That's dying in a corner of the sky. These are the days of miracle and wonder And don't cry baby, don't cry Don't cry."
  11. Is this one of the "Pink Panther" movies like "Curse of the Pink Panther" or something?
  12. It wasn't? *checks* http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473075/?ref_=nv_sr_1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Persia:_The_Sands_of_Time_(film) Sure looks like the subtitle was part of the official name as well as the advertising for the movie. It's on the theatrical release poster. "Star Trek"(2009) is also known as "Star Trek: the Future Begins", and that's even in the theatrical release poster, but is not written to indicate that was the official release title. IMdB lists it as "Star Trek"(2009). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796366/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 So, "POP-Sands of Time" may not have been best known by that name, but then "Scott Pilgrim" is remembered more as "Scott Pilgrim" and not as "Scott Pilgrim Saves the World." Doesn't change the name, however. The Powers That Be were hoping to make a movie franchise of POP, so they were clear from the beginning they wanted the movies to have different names. If "Pirates of the Carribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl" had been the end of that franchise, few would remember it has a subtitle as well. Anyway, I think someone can name the entire thing now.....
  13. Seems people want to discuss vpw's supposed "keys to walking by the spirit", but nobody wants to make a thread about them. So, here it is. I've heard before that some are common-sense, and some are just plain wrong, and some are at least questionable. I FIRST heard a doubt about it way back when. Shortly after the big split of 1989-1990, where lcm got 80% of the members to get up and leave, and most did so while still buying everything vpw ever said. I was trying to use one, and it was getting me nowhere despite me doing what it said. A more veteran "twig coordinator" who was an Advanced class grad mentioned he'd had misgivings about how accurate some of them were. He was right, my life got better as soon as I stopped trying to follow that one.
  14. Right so far. What would you call the man who might eventually become king of the place?
  15. Kate Beckinsale Underworld Bill Nighy
  16. Jake's actually been in a LOT of stuff in the past 10 years. Something like that may be in the middle. Meanwhile, what would you call a potential future king of ancient Iran? Whether or not you were a videogame fan?
  17. Is this a Before-And-After on the Movie Mashup thread? (Any movie, any type of clue, others must guess its name.)
  18. It might, but the melody is completely wrong for them. I actually considered one of theirs first, but thought nobody would recognize even their biggest hits. "It was a slow day. And the sun was beating On the soldiers by the side of the road. There was a bright light. A shattering of shop windows The bomb in the baby carriage Was wired to the radio." "It was a dry wind And it swept across the desert And it curled into the circle of birth. And the dead sand Falling on the children The mothers and the fathers And the automatic earth." "It's a turn-around jump shot It's everybody jump start It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts. Medicine is magical and magical is art"
  19. Another triple. In this 2010 movie, a writer builds a time machine and travels into the past, chasing a contemporary serial killer who fled to ancient Iran. There they clash with each other and a potential future king over a special knife containing magical sand as well as ownership of the time machine, for their similar properties. His job becomes more difficult when an officer for a security agency kick-boxes his way into that time and place, trying to end damage to the timeline. Stars include Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina, Malcolm Mc Dowell, Mary Steenburgen, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mia Sara, and Ron Silver.
  20. Was this the "Incredible Hulk" show from the 70s?
  21. I have trouble taking "experts" seriously when they can write that with a straight face. That reminds me, was this the question you thought I didn't address earlier in the thread? I did my best to cover everything you MIGHT have meant, and you said I still hadn't answered it. In other news, the simplest way to read this is that the prophecy was given at that time when addressing those people specifically, since they were the intended audience. And that he spoke truly, but they "heard" that realpolitik strategy was to kill Jesus to keep the Romans off their backs. So, the Sanhedrin got what they thought was exactly what they wanted to hear.
  22. The blatant plagiarism of vpw, who claimed all his teachings were based on enlightenment from God Almighty rather than plagiarized books from many authors, that has been documented in detail here. Questions- BG Leonard Help! The PFAL class was stolen JE Stiles the Gift of the Holy Spirit vpw's plagiarized sources vpw on the sources of his books vp plagiarism documentation Among other threads.

  24. Actually, you know the 2nd and 3rd parts of the answer. If you were more up on video games, the first part might be easy to answer.
  25. Another triple. In this movie, a writer builds a time machine and travels into the past, chasing a contemporary serial killer who fled to ancient Arabia. There they clash over a special knife containing magical sand as well as ownership of the time machine, for their similar abilities. His job becomes more difficult when an officer for a security agency shows up, trying to end damage to the timeline.
