Poncho -- sent you a PM.

RD2 - what John was pointing out was that organization's error. As you said, if they're allowing people to remain in their sin, then they're teaching error; and yet, you're willing to accept their "good" definition of 'prayer language'. How do you *know* that this teaching of theirs is good...

Women are more likely than men to suffer PTSD. Why? Sexual trauma, usually because of rape. Their mental distress is not because of sin on their part. The same goes for soldiers. They're not coming home with unforgiveness for their enemy; they're coming home with unforgiveness for themselves...

That's awesome! "A page is missing, therefore I can't accurately tell you whether I've resigned or not, although I'm sure the system will work out my resignation in a manner beneficial to all of us...."

And before I forget: using Henry's commentary towards your topic was relevant to your topic; but was it relevant to speaking in languages? If that portion of scripture had nothing to do with the gifts, then we have to examine closely if we're using scripture out of context.

There are a couple of things you said that I feel need to be addressed. The first is the reference to "study to show thyself approved." You're trying to tie this verse to speaking in languages. Your logic progression is: building ourselves up is important; scripture says we are to study to build...

Because scripture tells us in 1 Cor 12, in Paul's guidance about the gifts, that we are members of the body and should have care one for another; because scripture tells us in 1 Cor 14, in Paul's guidance about the gift of languages, that we should strive to edify the church. EXCEPT when a...

RD - just a word of caution: In the very same chapter that it says "do not forbid to speak in tongues," it also says "he who speaks in a tongue edifies himself...he who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues...so that the church may be edified...try to excel in gifts that build up...

Your analogy is backward, especially in light of 1 Cor 14. You see, you profess to have a gift, and you attempt to use it, without understanding what it is you are saying. The better analogy here is a soldier with a weapon without understanding what it is or does. It's like giving a caveman an...

Well...my apologies. The question is more complex than I originally thought. On the one hand, with twin comparisons, the answer is 66%. However, if one starts using truth tables, you get: B G B F T G T T (B-boy, G-girl, T-true, F-false) And thus, 75%. Alternatively, upon birth of the first...

With al due respect to Dr. Cassidy and you -- incorrect. First, the opening post did not specify "only" one. Second, in accordance with the wording of the opening post, girl/girl is a valid option, raising the odds to 66% instead of 50%. If the opening post had specified "only" one is a girl...

Although, I do accept that it also depends on which came out first, so I understand 75%....

I'd argue that your options 2 and 3 are the same; thus, 2 out of 3....

About 2/3?

Instead of the primetime speaking slot the White House wanted, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden lauded the accomplishment in a less formal Rose Garden address that was alternately celebratory and hard-edged. “In the end, history is not kind to those who would deny Americans their basic...

Your problem is that you don't realize that we were already neutered. You think Barack overcame a $30,000/year job to become president? You think Harry Reid went from being a McDonald's worker to a Democratic senator? You're too much of an idealist, CTB. You prefer to believe in the illusion...

Please. Only those who had the money and the backing were able to run before the Supremes made this decision. It's not a good decision, and exacerbates what was already happening. As PnS pointed out, it could make the situation worse, and townspeople are notorious for running those guys out of...

RD2 - apples and oranges. The only similarity is that both girls took the initiative to do something about their situations.

Ann, et al -- if it helps any, I found a secular review (from Salon magazine, of all things) that echoes what Matt said in his blog. The upside is that the Salon article author actually researched the book of Genesis to do a "did the Bible say that?" analysis of the movie. The downside is...

Holy curds. If less than half that review is correct, I *have* to figure out a way to correct my friends. They were even talking about taking some of our teens to see this....
