If memory serves, "Lucifer" is from a Latin word, meaning "morning star", or "dawn". In English, we've taken it to be a proper noun, rather than a title or description. It's the same with the word " Satan ". We've come to use it for a specific being, when it is actually a positional title...

On this topic, I've always found Ephesians 3:8-12 to be interesting. Verse 9 tell us that God created all things, and then verse 10 give us His intent. It appears here that the intent of creation is to prove to the principalities and powers God's wisdom, through the use of the church. Now, I...

And God looks down and says, "Oh, man! I never saw that coming!" My God is in control. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

I would posit that if even one of them is bad, then all of it is bad. "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump". I was hoping that I could reach you on a musical level, while simultaneously show you that I am not speaking from a purely emotional level. I have experience in music, both as a...

Ok, let's break this song down, and do some analytics on it. The song starts with a tempo just above 200. (Bouncing around from 200-210, a hallmark of death metal). Tempos above 200 release more dopamine in the brain than usual, and some studies even say they release traces of oxytocin, also...

This is slightly off-topic, but there is something that I find hilarious with military acronyms. And that is how often we say an acronym, and then say the word that the last letter stands for. Such as "ACAP program", "CAC card", "ASAP program", etc.

Maybe I'm just experiencing deja vu, but didn't we have this exact thread a year or two ago?

Which furthers my point. "Once you're used to the .. genre", which means that you had to sit through how many songs that only elicited anger and hate before you could finally find out that these guys are singing about God? Two things to this: Firstly, you have no idea what our connections to...

I read the whole thread, and then decided to sample the music. I didn't let my wife know the source of the music; I just let her listen to get her reaction. When she heard it, she responded, "You know I don't like satanic music." Personally, the music triggered my anxiety, and I had to calm down...

This is kind of an old thread, but seeing as there's some new replies, I'll reply, too. I mostly play piano and baritone/euphonium, but I consider myself proficient at rhythm guitar, bass guitar, and the ukulele. I also mess around with harmonicas, some drums, and the simple woodwinds. Here's...

This is sad. I've always made it a point to try to support them by buying what I can with their logo. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

Ardor: Extreme Vigor or energy; zeal; loyalty Faith: Something that is believed especially with a strong conviction We could stand here throwing definitions around all day. But, to get back to your OP, the statement is ludicrous. It is the pleasure and the duty of Christians to discover more of...

It seems the dictionary disagrees with you. According to Merriam-Webster, in the full definition of religion, the fourth entry states, "A cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardour and faith". That sounds like evolution to me. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

Maybe. Sappers lead the way... Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

The best duty station is the last one you had, and the worst is the one you're at now. That maxim held true with almost everyone I talked to in the service. My favorite was Schofield barracks, Hawaii. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

Yes, that's fine. It's a sentiment I've tried to get my civilian family members to understand. But I don't think anyone who isn't military won't get it. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

That's a good point, Don. As an E1, I was responsible for roughly $150,000 in equipment. I also went through three months of training every day for eight hours (480 hours) to do my "entry level job". Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk

So, I couldn't sleep tonight, and decided to figure up how much I made on average per hour through my 7 years in the military. To do this, I looked up the pay scales through the years I was in http://www.dfas.mil/militarymembers/payentitlements/military-pay-charts.html. I also looked up...
