Zaac--if you continue to focus only on the eternal, and give no thought to our daily lives in our fleshly bodies in this rotten world...how long will you or your family be in this world? The ultimate conclusion of what you said is to stop working, stop going to school, stop buying goods and...

As for your example of Old John - I knew a guy like that in Colorado. His name was Gordon. You could always tell what he had for breakfast by looking at his beard. Sometimes you could tell what he had for breakfast yesterday. And he'd take a bath, when the water company received a payment and...

Can't find a way. My first impression is, use Google Analytics, since Google's still storing the search terms; but the implication is that Analytics won't be able to see the referring terms, either.

1) The patrols have a purpose; and I'm surprised that an Army SSGT doesn't realize it. It's called "presence" and "deterrence." HOWEVER.... 2) The part about the flooding and having to go out on patrol anyway - poor leadership. Where this ties into the first is, it's possible that while the 2...

Salzer - how come you won't search out the scriptures with me or In the Light? Iron sharpeneth iron. You know, I was like you, not that long ago. The pastor taught me that what we wore was important, and I in turn preached that message. Then I came across a young man named Tyrel, whose...

Okay, that took a lot more reading than I thought it would. It would appear that the first police to use semi-auto pistols were in California around 1966; they adopted the Colt 1911 .45. However, the Illinois State Police are credited with setting the trend in 1967 when they adopted a 9mm...

ARGH. How is it that you and I can agree on some things, but be so far apart on topics like gun control?!? <grin>

Salzer -- I know there are a lot of posts you're trying to keep up with; but I still have to ask: are you ignoring mine, or just didn't see them?

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

Go back and look at your Strong's again. That verse says that women are to adorn themselves. The word adorn carries the meaning of ornamenting, embellishing. The verse goes on to clarify with "not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls...." If I take this verse at its strictest sense, then I...

The primary difference between a semi-auto pistol and a revolver, is that the semi-auto is "self-loading." There are different trains of thought on the "cycle of operation"; some only view four steps (feeding, firing, extracting, ejecting); my training identified seven steps (feeding...

HEY -- ARE WE ALL THROUGH BEING HOLIER THAN EACH OTHER? (NOTE: I said "we") I pray for Hillary, that she'll get better. I pray for President Bush, that he'll get better. And I've got a whole list of other people that need praying for, too. How about we all get on our knees and...

In 1968, the most common type of pistol was a revolver. You might have had M1 Garand rifles from WWII; possibly some M14's from Korea/Viet Nam. Don't have time right now to get into the statistics. Maybe later tonight, or tomorrow. I believe you're exactly right about population...

Well...now that you do, how does it affect your position? If registration isn't curbing gun crime--and in fact, in some states where they have strict registration, gun crime is high...whereas, in some states where there is little gun control, gun crime is much less than in the states that have...

Illinois has had their FOID requirement in place since 1968. I think they've had enough time to determine if this type of regulation works.

Blackbird - we pulled my oldest out of the public schools when she was in second grade. Both my older two graduated from homeschool, and went on to college. My youngest is 13; we occasionally take them to a local school for standardized testing. When we did that last year (when he was 12), he...

As mentioned to EWF: Trying to keep it simple for Zaac. Don't confuse him with actual historical facts and background. ;)

Not my intention at all; I was trying to point Zaac to a time in history where taking up arms was accepted, and even encouraged; and ask him, if he were in the same position then, would he be preaching the same message. If he can't put forth an intelligent position statement in that regard, then...

That's a cop-out, and you know it. Did you not have at least one history course during your upbringing? Are you the product of a failed public school system, or a "chained in the basement homeschooled kid"? The scenario is very simple. Americans at that time were upset about increasing taxes...

The article doesn't actually say it, but makes a case for regulating guns just like cars. Everyone's allowed to have a car; but if you use it, you're required to have a license, or face penalties. Of course, that's what Illinois has tried to do with their FOID requirement; and yet, Chicago...
