I mean, why does it have to be only two? On another note:try and tell someone from the way that there really are more than just 5 senses....

Oh well....enough bullshonta for one night....or at least now...

And various places one can store coins.

Kinda like International Outreach Countries.

Perhaps I am wrong, but don't directors live at HQ? or did that change? Rosalie said in a cabinet meeting many moons ago that they would likely lif the requirement for directors to live at HQ but I am out of the loop.

Or that God who is spirit communicated with a donkey who lectured Baalam. So much for God only being able to communicate with spirit because that's what he is.

That's an awesome cover. I love her voice to begin with but bringing in the congas and backup vocals took this rendition over the top. Loved her slide work on the guitar too.

And the list could go on.

Ok. Modern books to ancient is a misnomer. There were no ancient books but handwritten tablets, scrolls, papyrus, etc. Most people in ancient times were illeterate and ancient literary works were typically read aloud in group settings. One of the things you are stumbling with is reading modern day practices into ancient history. These practices were not limited to secular works but religous as well. In Israel the scrolls were kept in the temple until Israel was carried away by the Assyrians. Same holds true for the souther kingdom as well, scrolls were in the temple until they were carried away into Babylon. The synagogues that cropped up in these conquering empires was where the scrolls were eventually kept. So there is no apples to apples comparison with ancient lit vs. modern lit. So there were no Bibles in homes because the first printed Bible didn't come into existance until 1455 with the invention of the printing press that produced the Gutenberg Bible. Jesus understood his mission from scripture but he most likely used the Septuagint, which will likely make you flip your fundamentalist bic. The Septuagint was translated into Greek from Hebrew and was very common in Jesus day and came into prominence around the 200 B.C. Why was the Septuagint popular? Because many, many Judeans no longer spoke Hebrew or understood it after long captivities inside conquering empires. So, there were multiple intrepretation everywhere. Not to mention that the Babylonian Talmud had come into prominence amongst jews all across the ancient world. That book is extremely twisted but it was the basis of the religious leaders of their day. Jesus confronted this practice when referring to the traditions of men that religious leaders held in greater esteem than the Torah, and other Old Testament writings. To say Jesus was kept from multiple intrepretations ignores history and also runs cross purposes with scripture because Jesus was tempted in all things as we are yet without sin. Naturally he would have been tempted to use ungodly intrepretations of scripture and the earth was steeped in them then, same as today. The world was no less a wilderness in Jesus day from today. Do you really think that Jesus had access to a book that gave him "tight, precise, detailed, TECHNICAL advice on how to do it."? Life didn't work that way back then. He would have first been taught orally by his parents and then from the synagogues and temples. Culturally and historically how it worked. I can garuantee you that Joseph never gave Jesus "The Messiah's Manual to Saving the World" that had all this tight, precise, detailed, TECHNICAL advice on how to do it. Technical writing wasnt a thing back then. I give you the example of Jesus spending a few days in the Temple reasoning and disputing with the elders and Drs when he was 12. That's how they did it back then. They would discuss scriptural matters in the temple/synagogues where they would be exposed to any number of intrepretations from any number of people present. That's why Paul went to the Synagogues to reason with Judeans concerning Christ. They had scrolls there for reference and discussion.

David B is a musical gene-yoos...imo.

Man...I would advise staying off that Lo Shonta Express...I hear it's a great ride and a fee falling experience but the sudden stop at the end tends to be a bit jarring to the senses....

I don't really think mike understands what the Bible actually is or isn't and is left with vics fundamentalist view, leaving him scrambling around to make sense of it all. If you follow st vics plagaraized view then you are left with a hot mess of what Bulllinger believed and he mashes up a bunch of dispensationalism into the mix. Bullinger has some cool ideas and he has some really crazy ones too. He is seriously a mixed bag. So with viewing scripture through that lens one is left with a distorted view of reality and that tends to cause people to have to come up with some sort of fiction to make the concept jive with reality.....or redefine reality into a highly structured, heavily micro managed alternater reality - in the case of HQ, gunnison, etc.

Not sure who knows this...but: There is water at the bottom of the ocean. This one right here...prob my fav song form them of all time.

No...you would be stating the obvious. Mike knows what he's doing and it's done by design.

Speak! One of the best posts ever and lately that bar has been raised.

Pssssst.....hey Mike......I thought the word intreprets itself. You just did a huge Freudian Slip there buddy!

%#@! I never thought of that and I have a 10 pound pomeranian. She's already scarred because we moved from a carpeted home to 100% hardwood - she looks like a cartoon character running in place most days. That vacuum would be the move....my 16 year old torments her enough so I shouldn't...but mann do I ever want to.

Yeah....I can relate....

Ahhh....I see what u did there

Dig that...I don't think that thing goes too much farther than the osc warehouse unless vern lays some new tracks.

Bout 95% from anywhere conclusive.

Literal translation according to usefulness.

And you've read 23.7 pages in 5 years. That would make your conclusions 95% incomplete.
