Dammit, why didn't someone send me an updated script? I can't work like this! Call me when it's time for my close-up!

Pirate: Just heard your girl there is back on the market! Jennifer Garner is splitting up with her husband...

Don't feed the troll, Larry...

btw, this thread will be very confusing and not that funny unless you've been here a while, or so bored you read the past two months worth of posts. Sorry about that...

Vick: Perhaps, but in order to be initiated into Mike's church, you have to believe that PFAL was written by Lord God Almighty, something even Wierwille would have laughed at.

You just can't avoid its ubiquity... I shall now reveal the eight-volume teaching on Doctor's Penultimate Misplaced Teaching™. I know you're all hanging on every word, but time has run out for me today.

Of course, you can help by not feeding the troll, i.e., just stop replying to those posters you disagree with.

I think we probably need to resurrect the Troll threads. Paw must be on vacation.

Pat: Um, what sort of green cheese is it really made from? Brie? Camembert? Gouda? Edam? Cheddar? :D-->

Then sometimes it's just a fat idiot pushing an agenda that's so far to the left it makes Joe Stalin look like Joe McCarthy. :)-->

You have a happy birthday, or I will be forced to write at you again...you've been warned! :D-->

WW: Now, it really does affect the tides, but as for the rest of it...

Well, shaz, I'm supposedly a "Scorpio", except there is no constellation by that name. (It's Scorpius.) Trouble is, due to precession of the Earth's axis over the millennia, the Sun is not even in Scorpius on my birthday, it's now in Libra. Pretty much no one's born under their "sign" any more. Heck, some folks are even "Ophiuchuses", since the Sun passes briefly through a thirteenth constellation now. --> (Nov 30 - Dec 17, if anyone really cares)

The only thing that might have a biological link to the Moon's orbit might be the menstrual cycle, they're about the same length. However, since the date varies from woman to woman, it can't be a direct causal relationship.

My employer tells me he'll pay me every two weeks, but I can't actually spend the money until it's in the bank.

Jerry: I tend to believe Wierwille had it right with that misplaced comma in Luke 23. As for the rest, I don't think "shall have" is the same as "have now". I still think this is a matter of interpretation, not an indisputable actual error.

You do realize, WordWolf, that the Moon has the same mass regardless of its phase? More crimes are committed during the full moon because it's easier to see at night then. ;)-->

Jerry: I think your thesis is only valid if everyone who will wind up with eternal life is already predestined to have it.

Mike: The more actual errors you can conclusively resolve, the better. Ultimately, though, you have to resolve them all in order for your claims that PFAL was just as God-breathed as the rest of the Word to have any merit. Unless, of course, Wierwille was wrong when he said that one misplaced preposition would make the Word fall to pieces. Since that's in PFAL too, though, it can't be both God-breathed and wrong at the same time. As for "then" not being time-based but logic-based, it cannot be. The prior sentences from p. 87 should be included, too: PFAL, pp. 87-88David also did not say "Well, I am sorry." This phrase does not occur in 2 Samuel anywhere. That's a quibble hardly worth mentioning in a man-authored book, but an outright falsehood if it's in the infallible Word of God.

Since Windows is a 32-bit operating system, the maximum physical memory address space is 4GB. Remember in the old DOS days and the 640K barrier? 4GB is the Win barrier.

Jerry: I was just saying that no one before Pentecost was assured of eternal life, they still have to pass the judgment, even Moses and Elijah.

Geez, John, if you want to fly me down there, I'll even let you look over my shoulder while I build it! :)--> You don't need a 3GHz processor to run a freakin' file server. The bottleneck is going to be your network speed and your hard drive speed. We have a real business database server running 4 ancient Pentium Pro 200-MHz processors, and we never go above 35% on the CPU utilization monitors, with hundreds of connections. We're cloning it onto a newer surplus 2xPentium II 500MHz box with 4GB of RAM. Stress testing hasn't forced it above 10% utilization yet. This is with a 100Mbps Ethernet network and 7200rpm hard drives in a RAID 5 array, too.

Once you have pulled the pin from Mr. Grenade, he is no longer your friend.

John, I wouldn't build my own business computer if I were you. Home computers, absolutely. Business computers, you want to have a service organization on the hook if it blows up on you. If you absolutely must, go with an AMD dual-CPU board like the Tyan (make sure you get the multiprocessor Athlons, not the regular XPs) and no more than 4GB of RAM. (True geeks will know why... :)--> ) I don't think there is a multiprocessor/Xeon version of the Pentium 4 at any speed. Get a beefy power supply, a RAID 5 controller, and at least 6 hard drives for your array. If you use 120GB drives that will give you 600GB of space spread across the parity set.

Jerry: Off the top of my head, I'd say no. There is still the chance of everlasting life for pre-Pentecostals at the resurrection of the just, and Jesus could have been referring to that, since your example seems to require works of the Law instead of grace. In other words, Wierwille can still be correct, as all who died under the Law have to be judged by the Law at the end. Those who are judged faithful get eternal life then--not now. Just a thought, Zix
