  1. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/hyperbole "Hyperbole is not supposed to be taken literally."
  2. Hyperbole is lying if you lead people to believe it's literally true.
  3. Yes, please do. Documentation of said incident would be appreciated, as well.
  4. And yet, we all thought grammar was of utmost importance regarding the comma placement in Luke 23:43.
  5. Mixing tenses is a common error. In this instance, it conflates the finite with the infinite.
  6. They are not even remotely similar. "Even if it never comes to pass" is nowhere near the same as "Even if it doesn't happen today". To be clear, I'm not telling you what to believe. What I am telling you, though, is that these are grammatically not equivalent.
  7. I thought omnipresent was that old Dodge someone gave you as a gift.
  8. There are long posts that say something meaningful and then there are long posts that.....well, you know.
  9. Remember that old Sam Cooke song "You Absent Me"?
  10. I knew someone who died trying to make it work. Then, the ministry blamed him for not having big enough believing. He left behind a wife and 2 young kids.
  11. ...and then there was the man who was afraid of dying in a car crash. "Why, If I was a bettin' man."

  13. Yes or No Did Wierwille say the law of believing "works for saint and sinner alike"? No essays, please.
  14. But it's not just that a triangle has 3 sides. If you look at it closely, each side has 3 border lines.
  15. Except for the PFAL class. (Stand by for incoming rationalization.)
  16. Anyone ever taken a close look at the graphic for the GP? It has 3 thin lines as the border in the upper triangle. Does that have any significance? I have no idea. It does, however, cause me to suspect that VPW may have *lifted* this graphic from a trinitarian, without fully realizing the nuances the originator was trying to opine.
  17. NEIGHBOR: "Hey, your dog took a dump on my lawn. Would you mind cleaning it up?" ME: "Not necessarily."
  18. You mean like teaching your toddler how to do calculus?
