Sounds good to me. Just dont call the acolytes "elves!"

I enjoy serpents with a sense of humor like Rev Rattlesnake and, of course, Monty Python.

While Fawzo is correct as to vs 9-20 not appearing in the Sinaiticus (and also Vaticanus), other early manuscripts have variations of these verses and the passages (vs 9-20) are quoted in the 2nd and 3rd century by Hippolytus and Irenaeus. They are considered authentic by Catholic as well as Protestant faiths otherwise they would not be in the canon. We cannot say in surety that the were not even a part of the original gospel or that the verses are forgery (forgery of what, Fawzo?) - that we do not know, we only know our current earliest copies do not contain the verses. Therefore, as Christians, we can have certain doubt as to whether they are to be considered "gospel" even though included. Either way, I do not see that as a discrediting of scripture. No one, IMO, is trying to hide the facts, and if some are ignorant of them, whose fault is that? It does, however, support my position that the bible, although God inspired, is not word for word inerrant.

Absolutely. Hex, Im not understanding you. In love is in quotes, so does that mean the correcting is not really in love, or because it is a different faith.

Love is the fulfillment of all the law. If what we say or do is not out of love, then it is not of God. This I believe.

This unfortunate experience does not negate the quoted bible verses, only their misinterpretation as a side-show antic.

Let us remember those who gave their lives in service to their country and fellow citizens. Freedom is not free.

That's your opinion, but you dont have to be wrong. What about Art? Music? TV shows? Movies? Food? Clothing? Having pets? Teacher evaluations? Jobs? Governments? Political parties? You say you like it and I hate it. Nope, I say the situation is true in a lot of instances, including responding to your post. Peace.

Okay, I'll marry her.

It made my day when I read it so I had to share. Really a touching story of a spiritual encounter. Peace.

I found this most enjoyable and would like to share with you. I especially like the term: "You dont have to be wrong for me to be right." And the other way around. The title is "The rabbi and the Christian cab driver." Enjoy. Peace. http://www.huffingto...nk3&pLid=163258

Comgats. Best wishes for a long and happy life together.

For a city boy my roses came out nice this year.

and the Huggies readily available!

Looks like two guys so perhaps it just refers to Gays?

Moved to appropriate topic.

Thank you for sharing, for in sharing we learn and gain understanding. Peace.

I would no nothing illegal, or against my Faith. (now, ask me what I'd do for a Klondike bar!)

What a delightful couple! Thanks for the laughs. It confirms my suspicions of who runs the house.

No, this thread did not die, it was reborn in another topic RR.

in my prayers.

Happy Anniversary to you. You have been a blessing and inspiration to many of us here on the forum. I am blessed to have met you. Peace. Joe

Will do. Sorry to hear it. Still having a hard time getting to the site and posting.

I am truly sorry to hear that.
