"Since the 1970s, The Way International has been engaged in a Biblical study of the Greek word pistis, most often translated “faith” in the King James Version of the Bible, to understand its accurate usage in the New Testament. The words “faith” and “believing” in the King James and other versions of the Bible are used interchangeably; however, they are not synonymous. One concern has been that the current English usage of the word “faith” implies no believing action, which the context of many of the occurrences of pistis shows in the Scriptures. Many on the ministry research team continued working this topic over the years, seeking to understand the different uses and usages of this word pistis and the different Bible kinds of faith" The Way continues to build on the "Gospel of Faith" movement.... that Victor Paul Wierwille took from Kenyon, Cliffe and many others.

No. For the record, he's neither the first nor second place-r. How to calculate BMI..... Take the weight in pounds, and multiply it by 703. Then, divide the product by your height in inches (12 inches to the foot), then divide that quotient by your height in inches (yes, a second time.) The result is the BMI. For this round, using a calculator is not cheating, but looking it up still counts as cheating.

Honey Don't For anyone interested, HERE is the original by Carl Perkins.

I think this is a typical post from someone who claims we should forgive and move on, and that now the ministry has a new twist. Besides that....forgiveness is a release from guilt, but it doesn't imply the restoration of a relationship. Because that requires repentance, which in TWI's case is asking for forgiveness from the people they have harmed and acknowledging that Wierwille was a plagiarist and that he harmed/abused many people. And we all know that TWI WILL NEVER DO THAT. And I do not agree about "The new face of TWI", because TWI appears different on the outside but internally it is still basically the same - a cult. For those asking, YES, TWI has been promoting ROA 25 as an "open christian festival" and encourages people to invite friends (even if they are outside the ministry), However that is the same old lie to appeal to young people. Have a good day!

Sorry. Got a lot on my plate, these days. I need to pay closer attention.

Let me try to narrow this down. It is one of 11 Ringo Starr songs (with The Beatles) in which he sang lead vocals. Obviously this isn't "Octopus's Garden" or "With A Little Help From My Friends", or "Yellow Submarine". So there you go. There's only 8 more songs to choose from. Ringo sang lead on one song on almost every album by ~The Beatles~`. They had 12 studio albums. Come on. This is pretty easy breezy.

Calvin Coolidge?

Let me check my notes. 1-Correct- Abraham Lincoln, at 6'4". (LBJ was second, at 6'3 1/2".) 2- Correct- James Madison, at 5'4". 3- Correct- William Howard Taft, at 322 lbs/340 lbs, depending on the source. 4- Correct- James Madison, at 122 lbs. 5= Well, I'll call it CORRECT because it was Taft, with a BMI of 42.3. Even Taft's height couldn't shake that. 6- Incorrect. He was pretty lanky, but there were other lean Presidents who had a lower BMI. BTW, I'm showing results that said the lowest was a President whose BMI was 25.3, and there was no way to calculate the BMI of another. That having been said, all that's needed to calculate it is the height, the weight and the formula. The lowest BMI of any President so far was 20.9, once it's actually calculated. So, that just leaves #6 unanswered.

So long as it was presented, and even promoted to a point, but not made mandatory/indoctrination, I think it would help, at least as far as was stated on that page. On paper, I think it is a good thing. In moderation, I think it would benefit society. In practice, if it caught on a lot, I think there would be a rude surprise in that- once it took on FORMAL structures and FORMAL doctrines- it would start to suffer from some familiar problems. I'm well aware there are people who say much the same as this- without any structure to draw from, and live their lives with a view towards making the world a better place. I'm well aware that some of those people are atheists or agnostics. But, it would be INEVITABLE that structures and doctrines would form. It's been that way through all of history, and I would not trust anyone who claimed it was only a possibility. Once those formed, it would become an organization. Once that happened, we would find SOME people using it for their own ends- hypocrites who mouthed its tenets but looked to get what they could from the system, people looking to skim off some money and pocket it, people in it for the authority of the offices, and so on. I think that, for the most part, the ideas are good. I think that, should this gain a lot of popularity, it would replace one set of structures with another one. Eventually, everything someone might complain about if there were a religion would appear- dogmatism, corruption, etc. I'm also aware some people alive now would probably swear up and down such a thing could never, and would never, happen. But then, every group has their fanatics, and fanatics have never been strong on reflection and examining the evidence or their conclusions. So, yes, a positive thing, but overall, a lot less effective than you're thinking.

Romeo + Juliet Vondie Curtis-Hall Die Hard 2

I think I answered most of these when I gave a similar clue. Abe Lincoln James Madison William Taft James Madison (again) I'm tempted to say Taft again, but a shorter, lighter President may have had a lower BMI. Coolidge? This might be Lincoln again. He was pretty lanky. George

There will never be a perfect world, but do you think if humanism was promoted more so that more people could choose to live accordingly (instead of living religiously), this would be a positive thing for societies? Below is some information about what people would learn about humanism. What is Humanism?

Ok, next one. The category is US history, to be specific, US presidents. Please name which US President was 1) the tallest US President 2) the shortest US President 3) the heaviest US President 4) the lightest US President (based on the Body Mass Index/BMI rating..... who was 5) the fattest US President/President with the highest BMI 6) the leanest US President/ President with the lowest BMI Answer at least 2, and we'll see if we can get all of them filled in.

That it would. George

Exactly! George

That'd be Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up".

Eh, "Clueless"???????

IIRC, Joe Maslow arrived just before him, curious about those. I know he got SOME answers. He was also a lot nicer about asking.

If one is insulted by another’s observation, then the insulted will be the sole participant in the insult.

As I recall, when you first started posting here, you said you were looking to expand your knowledge and operation of the revelation and impartation manifestations. How would you rate your experience in that regard?

Mmmph
