It is interesting that melanoma is a cancer of the skin, the largest organ of the human body which protects the person from infections. So according to the death cert. it had spread to the liver and the eye(s). Kind of interesting that it would be in the eyes....spiritual judgment to say that it was the "blind leading the blind?" Also, once the liver is infected, it is a surefire death sentence....you only have one....and if there aren't any donors....well, death usually doesn't take that long once it gets to the liver. I would say that his alcoholism didn't help much and perhaps that is why his liver couldn't fight it off, so to speak, because it was constantly cleansing his blood of the alcohol intake. In ancient days, seers would "look into the liver" to be able to foretell the future....hmmmm.

When the Lord God Almighty's foot doesn't even fit into the universe.....

I've even pondered on whether or not the body of this person would be one of the first successful cloned humans, thereby appearing to be human, but having the spirit of THE Anti-Christ.

Hey I think it is neat. But what would be better, at least IMO is to have some kind of downloadable program that a verse a day would come up when you are loading your computer for the day. Maybe it's my popup blockers or something, but it would be more attractive to see the Scripture verse just floating and not confined to a box with a yellow exclamation point. I'm not sure if this is my pc doing it or your program. I'm not a geek by any stretch of the imagination. But I think you have a great idea.

Hey, Dooj That chicken stir fry sounds absolutely scrumptious. Thank you. Always looking for new and interesting variations on a theme.

I can't get your link to work, WS.

It's also interesting to watch institututional money and how they move in and out of the various markets. when there is a sharp decline and it's clear that the high rollers are leaving, it's time to leave also. Once, I had looked at a five year graph on Exxon and it seemed that when the high rollers were dumping their stocks, it causes others to leave too, and then when the prices fall, here comes the high rollers buying up the same stock that is now half of what they just sold it for, thereby making windfall profits by far and away and doubling their stock holdings.

So you changed your moniker? Tao is each? Am I reading that correctly? I've been squinting to make sure I was reading it right? Should I look in the ?Bhagdavich gita or gotta? Can't spell it either. And is that Ulysses S. Grant?

Which probably meant, bend over!

OKC, that's almost poetic! You use some great words there.

But this "person" is going to have to be or appear human. If signs, miracles and wonders that are false will be done by this person, then indeed, if they are wounded mortally in the head, what is to stop stn from "raising" up this "dead" human and making him alive again? Absolutely nothing.

Thanks a lot Kit! Got some good notes out of it! Congratulations on your Auditor Certification!

Margo is Ann Lander's daughter? Well that explains everything! After going deeper with the Lord Jesus Christ, I stopped reading Ann and Abbie as well. I found I was already in the company of the perfect advisor.

You'll see those Hebrew letters a lot better if you look in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia But don't forget if you have access to a hard copy of the book to start at the end and turn your pages to the right. You will be reading the end of the book before the beginning! This will cause a huge brain strain at the first and you will leave with a headache. Oh and don't forget, you will be reading from the right of the page to the left, too.

I think the oddest thing that stuck out for me in Margo's column was this: DEAR WEN: Not only does your mother have a heart the size of a navy bean, she is certainly behind the times. Federal statistics show that 45 percent of all pregnancies are among women who are not married. You read that right: 45 percent. Without meaning this as an endorsement, Yeah Wendy, don't want to endorse this type of lifestyle, BUT......Your Mom is really behind the times! I think she did just endorse it! But then she topped herself off with even more pee poor advice: In other words, the stigma is gone. You mention having had problems with your parents your whole life. This is just another one. The very idea of offering condolences in this situation is appalling. They don't sound supportive or loving, so ignore the noise. And maybe ignore them. --- MARGO, DISREGARDINGLY Oh yeah, Wendy, dump your support system. Not sure if Wendy just wants to whine because Mom doesn't back up her poor choice or this entire article is fabricated so that Margo can foist her views on the unsuspecting public. I mean if you look at the letter, Wendy states that she doesn't have time to "I don't have the energy to look for a house, go to work and plan a wedding." Hmmm...didn't she say she was getting married in the summer anyway. And who necessarily needs a house just because you're pregnant. The baby will not take up that much more space, at least not for a while. And if she is a dentist, I doubt she is living in a hole in the corner apartment. Then she has to go to work. No big deal, who doesn't? But then look at her supposed last comment....she doesn't have time to plan for a wedding???? Wait a minute...wasn't the wedding in the summer anyway? What gives? I think perhaps readers should DISREGARD MARGO.

Yes, you're right on one thing, the book of Revelation will remain hotly debated depending on which church you attend. I see that there is a debate amongst theologians on the dating as well; from Nero's time to Domitian's reign in 95. As far as too much OT Jewish imagery, you have to remember whether it was written in the 60's or the 90's, a vast proportion of the church was Jewish so it would fit right in, besides they were very familiar with apocalyptic literature. Whereas, we have not been raised with such literary genres, except perhaps the light treatment one may find in the fairy tales. So your point on that issue does not follow, because the church was Jewish Christian. I have flirted with a lot of different views, not content to just (as of yet) nail one down, but rather finding contentment in being a Pan-Millennialist.

My Hebrew lexicon and yes, it also shows breath or vapor as well...which is empty, nothingness...which is why the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY likens our lives to it as well. What you do not see in the English bible is the hyphenated word attached as a prefix to Abel...his real name is "El-Abel" or God Empty and since English puts its adjectives before the noun....Empty of God.

WS....you're too much! Yeah, but this was years out of twi already before THE LORD did the cleansing. LOL!

Communion is medicinal and that is why Paul said in Corinthians that "many are weak and sick among you and many sleep because they had not properly discerned the body of the Lord." Are we literally to consume the flesh and blood of Christ? Obviously not, for I do not believe in transubstantiation. But yet the images are there, I think, for us to learn from. It's also possible that the Eden in the green was a temporary set up to see which tree of life that they would choose and that had they chosen Christ in that moment of decision, the heavenly Eden would have descended or just appeared and then they would have been eternal. But praise the Lord Jesus that HE was willing to die for us and to shed his blood so that we may now have eternal life. Even if we never really know exactly what happened, I can see another image of God tabernacling with HIS people; and as Abel was really named: "empty of God" then because of Christ being in us and HE being Emmanuel, "God with us" it is in direct opposition to Abel. Another thing that I have pondered on is this: Is Revelation really for the future or is it right now? It was written to the then church and apparently they understood the imagery without a hitch. Because if the Christ is the true tree of life and the river of life is flowing out, which would be linked to the Holy Spirit, then we have received all these things through the cross of Christ and Pentecost. Anyway, just more thoughts.

Here's another aspect that I have thought of too, and that is the promise of a Savior comes to the couple by God when the "blame" is rolling down hill in Gen 3, and God states that it will be the "seed of the woman", which of course, it's the male that bears the actual physical seed. Since Adam was the first, we can safely conclude that God had informed Adam that this seed was not to be wasted, etc. If he did partake as even some ancient Jewish theologians were surmising the different possibilties of what happened on that fateful day. Since Adam "knew", the transgression was on him, but only "sin" was on Eve, probably since Adam failed to "talk with his wife". Clearly, that sin still exists today, Gentleman! You say Sunesis: Bride, I too have thought the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was Christ, or a type of Christ. Are you really meaning to say, that Christ was a type of the Tree of Life? Because that's what I was saying and I think since the Bible contains a whole lot of double prophecies etc., it is highly likely that Christ was the TRUE TREE OF LIFE, while the man's member was an earthly tree of life, since it is obviously the organ whereby seed is emitted and children come forth. Also, as I said before in a previous post, Cain was the first to commit physical murder, i.e. abel (here is a neat-o-rific thingy) Abel in Hebrew is really: "El-Hebel" which means empty, void, nothingness. What did his parents just lose? They lost God! And so they named their son, "Empty of God." Is that wild, or what? Plus, the real first murder came with Adam and Eve, when the dvl tempted them and said that they "would be like gods", what does a god decide? What does God have as HIS perogative? Life and Death is at HIS disposal? So when they partook of the seed (human beings in seed form)(if they did) they became like gods having that choice. So, I guess, if they did, and the text doesn't really say, we are speculating, cannibalism was really the first sin, or murder, at least in the physical. While in the spiritual, it was rebellion against God and trying to sit in HIS Throne. As far as revelation....yes....eating from the TRUE TREE OF LIFE, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. I just thought of this.....if they did eat the flesh of their children in seed form....what did the Lord Jesus Christ command them in the Gospel? You must eat MY flesh and drink MY blood. Then the original sin is reversed out, by eating from the TRUE TREE OF LIFE. I hope this is not too radical at 5:30 a.m. :blink: Again, I would never teach this as doctrine in a church, there'd be too many heart attacks and epileptic seizures happening all at once.

But please do note that hypothesis starts with HYP(e)! plus please do note that hypo is: hypo- under or below something, low hypothermia

Is it just a coincidence or what? Rosie and Donna? Ros e O'Donn ll? Is it the name?

In Genesis 14, the Hebrew word that is used is really a compound word....melchi=King and zedek=be in the right, be right, have a just case. Therefore, v 18 could be translated as such: And the king of righteousness and peace brought forth bread and wine; and he was the priest of the most high God. It is interesting that this king brought forth BREAD AND WINE, a foreshadowing of the elements of communion that the Lord Jesus served at the last supper. What is going on in this passage is this king and Abraham are partaking of a covenant together and sealed with bread and wine, and this king blesses Abram, possessor of heaven and earth. The writer of Hebrews clearly connotes that Christ is the one referred to in Psalms 110, Hebrews 5 and 7. So who is he? I think it was the pre-incarnate Christ in physical form.

I take it then that you desire to become an author someday? Very well written imo
