In any event, if I vanish, just take over.

But don't let it happen too often. Just kidding. Of course, when we had over a dozen players, it took a lot of the pressure off. George

Preparation for the Burial of “Pre-trib”: Decorating the “Pre-trib” Gravesite with Christ’s Gospel Precedent and the Revelation of the Mystery for the Church, “Christ in you, the Hope of Glory” Christ’s Gospel Precedent: Quoting the Prophets’ Prophecies 1. Why did Christ quote Isaiah 61:1, 2a in Luke 4:18, 19? And why did Christ stop at 61:2a? Christ Himself answered this question: “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” (Luke 4:21) By quoting Isaiah 61:1, 2a, Christ marked the present tense fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy in the context of New Testament revelation. Why did Christ stop at Isaiah 61:2a? Why didn’t Christ read Isaiah 61:2b? Isaiah 61:2b was not quoted because it didn’t apply to the present tense, but rather, future tense: “the day of vengeance.” 2.Why did Christ quote Daniel in Matthew 24:15? “So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand).” Christ marked the future tense fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy in the context of New Testament revelation: the rise of the Antichrist prior to Christ’s descent to Israel like “lightning.” Christ’s Gospel Precedent: When a prophet’s prophecy is quoted, it pertains to the fulfillment of prophecy in the context of New Testament revelation—and can either be present tense or future tense. The context determines whether it’s present or future. 3.Is it possible Christ set a precedent during His ministry on Earth (quoting the prophets)—which He continued from the right hand of God when He gave revelation of the mystery to His apostles, directing them to quote the prophets’ prophecies? Yes. When Christ, by revelation, directed His apostles to quote the prophets’ prophecies, He followed His own precedent: When a prophet’s prophecy is quoted, it pertains to the fulfillment of prophecy in the context of New Testament revelation—and can either be present tense or future tense. The context determines whether it’s present or future. Christ’s Gospel Precedent & The Mystery The Mystery: 1 Corinthians 2:8,9 “We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age knew it. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” Could the mystery have been revealed prior to the Crucifixion? No, of course not. After the Resurrection and Ascension Christ could reveal it—and Christ did so. Christ’s Gospel Precedent: Quoting the Prophets’ Prophecies & The Mystery/Acts to Revelation: The Church With Christ’s Gospel precedent, along with His revelation of the mystery, we are empowered by Christ to answer the following questions based on His authority. And with answers to the following questions, the following is revealed: The present and future tense fulfillment of prophecies pertaining to the mystery for Christ’s Church, “Christ in you [present tense], the hope of glory [future tense].” 4.Why did Paul quote Habakkuk 2:4 Romans 1:17? To mark the present tense fulfillment of Habakkuk’s prophecy in the context of Christ’s New Testament revelation—revealing the mystery for Christ’s Church once hidden in the Old Testament: “Christ in you [by faith/Rom. 10:8-10].” For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. As it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” 5.Why did Peter and Paul both quote Joel 2:32a, in Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:13, respectively? To mark the future tense fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy in the context of Christ’s New Testament revelation—revealing the mystery for Christ’s Church once hidden in the Old Testament: “the hope of glory”/future “salvation,” to be fulfilled on the “day of the Lord.” Why didn’t Peter and Paul quote Joel 2:32b? It didn’t apply to the future tense mystery for the Church, but rather, the future tense mystery for the house of Jacob/Israel. 6.Why did Paul and John both quote Isaiah 25:8, in 1 Corinthians 15:54 and Revelation 7:17, respectively? To mark the future tense fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy in the context of Christ’s New Testament revelation—revealing the mystery for Christ’s Church once hidden in the Old Testament: “the hope of glory”/future “salvation” to be fulfilled on the “day of the Lord”: Joel 2:31, 32a; Acts 2:20, 21; Rom. 10:13; Rev. 6:12-17; Rev. 7:9-17 [raptured to His Throne] at the time of Christ’s revelation in the sky: Rev. 1:7; 6:16; 1 Thess. 4:13-17. 7. Why does the blood red moon “appear” in Acts 2:20 and why does the blood red moon again “appear” in Revelation 6:12: the Sixth Seal? Peter and John both marked the future tense fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy in the context of New Testament revelation—revealing the mystery for Christ’s Church once hidden in the Old Testament (Joel 2:31, 32a): “the hope of glory”/future “salvation,” to be fulfilled on the “day of the Lord” with the lunar signal of the blood red moon. (The dark moon is Israel’s lunar signal: Joel 3:15; Matt. 24:29—which is fulfilled when Christ descends like lightning to the Mount of Olives, fulfilling the mystery for the house of Jacob/Israel.) 8.Why did the apostles quote the prophets’ prophecies from Acts to Revelation? Christ, by revelation, directed His apostles to quote the prophets’ prophecies, and He followed His own Gospel precedent: Christ marked the fulfillment of prophecy—present tense and future tense. And simultaneously, Christ revealed the mystery for His Church and the house of Jacob/Israel once hidden in the Old Testament. Christ did so by the commandment of God: Rom. 16:25-27; Gal. 1:11, 12; 1 Peter 1:10-12; Rev. 10:7; 22:16. Next: The Burial of “Pre-trib” on Friday December 5, at approximately 4:30pm EST.

Hey, they are all games and we all have lives.

"Now do you think you can beat The Champ?" "I can take him blindfolded." "What if he's not blindfolded?" "I can still beat him." "I'd just come from the stockyards. We'd gotten reports of hundreds of cows had been senselessly slaughtered in the area, but I couldn't find any evidence. I stopped off for a hamburger and checked in with headquarters." "Who are you and how did you get in here?" "I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith."

It is not. Good, I thought this one might have been too easy.

Those lyrics are familiar, somewhat. Maybe another verse would do it, George. Unless, of course, it has the title in it.

I know the third one. I don't know if the rest of her family were in the movie, but it could be Spider-Man 3. George

There actually was a reboot of The Love Boat (The Next Wave) with Robert Urich as the Captain and Joan Severance as the Cruise Director. They even had a nostalgia episode with the original cast. You're up. George

Close enough. The original The was on the GSC's predecessor site, Waydale. I believe it was April 14, 2000, which totally coincidentally the very same day GSC debuted. In any event, we were on Waydale at the time. There was a competitor site to Waydale that was run by John Lynn's group, Christian Educational Services, which was more openly and explicitly Christian. Waydale didn't care what you believed (like GSC). CES cared. And the contributors did not. Eventually, CES decided it was not worth their time to continue to host a message board where an increasing number of people were committed to badmouthing God, Christ, Christianiy and CES. So they shut the board down. On April 14, 2000. Maybe it was April 15. Not relevant. So I went on Waydale to let folks know the The CES Board has been taken down (that was the thread title). The first post was something to the effect of, "Well, looks like the folks at CES have decided it's not worth it to host a message board where a growing number of people are challenging their doctrine and" blah blah blah. But when the thread posted, for no reason I can figure out, only the first word of the thread title and one word of the post survived. The Well, And people responded. And responded. And responded. Thousands and thousands and thousands of responses. It shut down Waydale. They had to close the thread. A new one popped up in its place. And another. And another., Waydale shut down. Greasespot became our new home. THE followed. It took YEARS for it to finally die. Seriously, some actual GSC members died before THE did. Anyway, this was a joke to let everyone know we were back online. BUT We're going to do another fundraiser because Pawtucket cannot and shpould not handle the expense alone. So buckle up. We need your help if you want GSC to stay open. To be continued. It. Just. Won't. Die.

Incidentally, I want credit for following up quickly on multiple occasions when I've been distracted. Thank you all for jumping in when it's obvious I've been distracted

Very good. I THOUGHT that was the answer to the last question, but Streisand didn't direct. It was one year later. Both starred Nick Nolte though. The director was George Miller, a doctor (who knew?) who directed the Mad Max movies as well as Happy Feet 1 and 2, featuring Robin Williams as Lovelace and Ramon. Both worth watching, though the sequel is far more fun. Yes, Lorenzo was a child, which made it possible for multiple "actors" to play him as he aged. And yes, sadly, he passed away in 2008 at the age of 30, though he was not expected to outlive childhood.

I was hoping someone from that time would explain. I'll explain a bit. It started before I started posting here. As I understand it, something happened. Raf meant to post about it (a twi news event, if memory serves.) He posted it with a normal title and a normal initial post. For reasons of internet, somehow the post got eaten, but not 100%. The first word of the title remained, and the first word of the post remained, along with the comma following it. The rest of the post was blank. Naturally, some of the posters had some fun with it, reacting as if it was intentional, and an artistic choice. But the jokes...just...kept...coming...... Months and years later, they were still coming. People wrote song lyrics for THE. People got titles for THE ("Official Shaver of THE", etc.) It was an inside joke that just never stopped. Years later, another thread was posted. The poster immediately reconsidered. They changed the title to "Oops" and the post to something like "Never mind, please delete." We had a few pages of similar jokes, IIRC. I speculated on whether "Oops" would someday rival "THE" and overtake it (my speculation was largely a joke.) That joke ended a LOT sooner. That's all I've got.

I honestly can't tell, sometimes, what impressions people get. I'm sure someone, somewhere, thought me and Raf were the same person. We have never been the same person, and we have no plans to change that at any time. ;) I've occasionally been mistaken for any notable twi personality, and that's always worth a chuckle. If I'd been a decade older and joined a decade sooner, probably, but I joined in time to participate in the biggest exodus. Knowing all of that, the idea of me secretly being oldies, knowing our history, almost made me laugh out loud. I know you didn't mean that (I know that NOW, at the very least), but it was a little like "In World War II, Stalin and Churchill were secretly the same person." NOW you can see why it was at least worth a smirk.

Technically, he WAS in the Bronx at the time, but he was not in twi at that time. I know because I was in twi before him, and I wasn't in twi at the time.
