It's "shoot" not "put." "Sometimes you just have to learn to say WTF"

Why am I still a Christian?
Raf replied to Rocky's topic in Atheism, nontheism, skepticism: Questioning Faith
The ex-Muslim atheist Ayaan Hirsi Ali recently announced her conversion to Christianity. Her conversion story is steeped in politics, so it's impossible to discuss her story without discussing politics. Ground rules: The validity of her political views are off limits. The validity of her religious views are. Why I am now a Christian - UnHerd I have not read her essay, nor have I listened to the video in the o.p. I will not comment until I do one or the other, preferably both. In case you were wondering why I'm so quiet. :) -
This movie featured Dylan McDermott, John Mahoney and Rene Russo.

"A man curses because he doesn't have the words to say what's on his mind." *** "'Black: Destitute of light, devoid of color. Enveloped in darkness, hence, utterly dismal or gloomy as, 'The future looked black.'" "Pretty good with them words, ain't ya?" "Soiled with dirt. Foul. Sullen. Hostile. Forbidding, as, 'a black day.' Foully or outrageously wicked as, 'black cruelty.' lndicating disgrace, dishonor or culpability. And there's others. 'Blackmail.' 'Blackball.' 'Blackguard.'" "Yeah, man. That's something, all right." "Let's look up 'white.' Here. Read." "'White: The color of pure snow. Reflecting all the rays of the spectrum. The opposite of black. Free from spot or blemish.' 'lnnocent?' 'Pure.' Huh? Ain't this something?"

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Amber Heard.

Well done, Chockfull.

You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you. ;)

You know if I realized the opening post was from 11 years ago I MIGHT not have split the threads.

In case he's busy: Hogan's Heroes is correct. He had me at "It's a comedy," which I will always hear in Gilbert Gottfried's voice.

That would be an example of it, not an explanation of it. It also assumes the verse does not mean precisely what it says.

ALMOST... I have the first half, but stuck on the second. My guess is the OG. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

I agree with Nathan. It looks like this traces back past Wierwille to Bullinger.
-
I disagree. 1. Who is that author? What are his credentials? Where did he study? What are his sources? We genuinely have NO IDEA. Amazon tells us nothing. He does have a website. Doesn't she'd much light. He's a Trinitarian, so that rules out a Wierwille clone. Still could have had some intersection with TWI. But not enough to render a verdict either way [technically, that's a not guilty, but I'd go with a hung jury]. 2. This is one guy. You said referenceS. Plural. But can you find another one that's clearly not TWI influenced? I couldn't. I tried, and came up with the same guy. Others clearly have TWI fingerprints. I mean, it's a Bullinger doctrine. Surely TWI didn't originate it.

Oh my. HUGE TWI connection there. The Revised English Version of the Bible (REV, not to be confused with the Revised English Bible, REB) was developed by Spirit and Truth Fellowship International. About | Spirit & Truth (spiritandtruthonline.org) John Schoenheit pretty much runs the show, with accountability (this is not intended to in any way discredit the hard work they put into it). There's even a Wierwille on the team.
