    What is your spiritual gift?

    This is not a favorite subject of mine to discuss... but since the question was asked, I have virtually concluded there are no spiritual gifts today. Those "tests" (and I did take a few years ago) just show what you want to believe about yourself. And when it gets down to it, they show no...

    George Blanda

    Blanda, Namath, Stabler, Todd... 38 years of coaching, I'm sure there are more than those. I first knew of Blanda in the 1970 season, when he pulled so many games out for the Raiders. I think it was a year or 2 later that I was reading and found out his NFL career was thought over, then he...

    Do you lock up your house including windows when you go out?

    Yes-- as far as that goes. A few years ago my central A/C went bad and for a couple of years I had a technician charge it in May. But it would lose all the coolant by August. I had already gotten a small wilndow unit for my bedroom, as it seemed 'overcool' to keep the entire house A/C'ed for...

    Chiasmos, Inverse Parallel Structure, Sets Order of Lastday Events

    Is anyone really reading as much as 20% of this? I ain't.

    The place of women in the Church

    Paul evidently "forgot to erase" one or more of the things he wrote on this general topic. What do you think it was, or they were??

    The place of women in the Church

    I do not regard "Sunday School"-- at our church we call the different departments or classes "Bible Fellowship Groups"-- as that which comes under biblical mandates about such topics as women teaching men or 'everyone has a prophecy, a tongue, a prayer...' Teaching by classes is a human idea to...

    Worst Hymn Texts

    How about "Life's Railway to Heaven?" I like that one, but mainly because I've always been fascinated with trains, and am a model railroader. So if one like's a hymn because one like's the hymn's nonbiblical imagery, does that rate it unsatisfactory? On the other hand, the 23rd Psalm and the...

    Interesting quote

    Yes or No: Should biblical principles be written into our laws?

    Mexico was here first?

    Manifest? Is that like Oktoberfest, only it's all men? Anyway, Mexico may have been here first. The Yucatan Peninsula had to be there to receive that great meteor 65 million years ago that extunk the dinosaurs.

    Favorite Cheerios cereal

    I saw a trivia item in a publication yesterday that said Cheerios were originally named Cheerioats. I wonder if Post Toasties were originally named Cornies. :laugh: on looking that up, wikipedia says the original name of Post Toasties was Elijah's Manna. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Toasties

    Obama appeals for tolerance on 9/11

    Sure you could. At least in the USA you could. You would just get arrested, tried, and likely convicted if you actually did murder anyone with blue eyes.

    Baptist Board NFL Pick'em League

    Well, I just checked and I'm in the lead by 3 games and rank #11 out of 7877 overall. It might be hard to keep these rankings.

    Obama appeals for tolerance on 9/11

    "They" didn't do too good a job; there's a billion of them.

    Obama appeals for tolerance on 9/11

    “Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security” So anyone who is not in favor of removing ALL metal detectors and other security devices at airports is absolutely undeserving of liberty?

    Obama appeals for tolerance on 9/11

    The more "tolerant" of islam we become, the more like Saudi Arabia. The more loud calls for prayers 5 times daily, of which the the first and foremost of chants is about the one allah and the one prophet. The more the furtherance of that one allah and one prophet justifies anything and...

    Dreams

    Dreams simply reflect what is on your mind, especially your worries. As I say that, and really belive it, it's an interesting coincidence that I remember a dream this morning that, as I was joking around with birthday wishes for my sister (this is, in fact, her birthday), my mother, deceased 9...

    Pastor compensation

    I agree with your basic reasoning here; though I do doubt in many cases the "underpaid compared to their counterparts in secular jobs." In addition, I do know a few things about some of the perks that often go along with the job, from travel agents, clothing shop owners, auto service reps and...

    Is this blasphemous enough for you?

    I suppose it would explain the "perpetual virginity" of Mary if anyone who touches her is immediately killed.
