  1. No. These are translations. “To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.” “Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do.” "Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them." "In questions of this sort there are two things to be observed. First, that the truth of the Scriptures be inviolably maintained. Secondly, since Scripture doth admit of diverse interpretations, that no one cling to any particular exposition with such pertinacity that, if what he supposed to be the teaching of Scripture should afterward turn out to be clearly false, he should nevertheless still presume to put it forward, lest thereby the sacred Scriptures should be exposed to the derision of unbelievers and the way of salvation should be closed to them." George

  3. Okay, I'll jump in. A guy falls for a girl he's never seen. She blames him for her dad's death, but he takes out the real killer. George
  4. Okay. Anyone else want to give it a go? George
  5. You are a gentleman and a scholar. "In questions of this sort there are two things to be observed. First, that the truth of the Scriptures be inviolably maintained. Secondly, since Scripture doth admit of diverse interpretations, that no one cling to any particular exposition with such pertinacity that, if what he supposed to be the teaching of Scripture should afterward turn out to be clearly false, he should nevertheless still presume to put it forward, lest thereby the sacred Scriptures should be exposed to the derision of unbelievers and the way of salvation should be closed to them." George
  6. Actually, that's right. I was just about to come back and correct it, but you got in first. George
  7. I'm guessing that this is a translation of Ovid's Aeneid. Aeneas was a Trojan who (according to the Aeneid) established Rome. Of course, the Aeneid was in Latin in dactylic hexameter, and this is English in iambc pentameter... George
  8. I DON'T have the freedom "to live as I choose," and neither do you. I have to follow laws. I prefer those that are in accord with God's Word, because I believe those are most beneficial to mankind. I have the freedom to vote for those laws I desire (either directly or representationally through elected officials); but it's meaningless if a judge can decide that HE thinks the law is inappropriate and toss it out. George
  9. I never said that man's laws were God-given. I said that God gave man laws. Those, of course, ARE the ones in the Scriptures. George
  10. Which is why God gave man laws -- to protect people. Live outside His laws, you're asking for trouble. George
  11. "According to my observations, there is sufficient reason for greater optimism." "You took the words right out of my mouth." "Unfortunately, extinction is often the natural end of evolution..." "Get some rest." "You may think you are tougher than everyone else, but I can go without sleep just as long as you can." "Don't make me laugh, Starfleet." "I feel for the robots, but what you're proposing is exactly the kind of tampering the Prime Directive prohibits. We know almost nothing about these creatures, or the race that built them. What would be the consequences of increasing their population, both to their own civilization and others in this quadrant? Who are we to swoop in, play god, and then continue on our way without the slightest consideration of the long-term effects of our actions?" "Wait a minute. If both sides called a truce, then why didn't they stop you from fighting?" "They attempted to do so." "And?" "We terminated the Builders." George
  12. I hate to be a troll, but THEY'RE WRONG. George
  13. Cool! He should be entering the workforce about the time I retire! George
  14. Basic Instinct Sharon Stone Catwoman George
  15. It is, in fact, The Tudors. Quit playing hit-and-run, TLB. Post one. George
  16. Coffee/Maxwell House/Drop Titanic/Sink ? George
  17. In that case, try this: Two pics; need names George
  18. "He will tire of you, like all the others." "And if he does not?" "You think you know a story, but you only know how it ends. To get to the heart of the story, you have to go back to the beginning." "Is this not Mademoiselle Anne? Enchanté. His Eminence has told me all about you, but he did not tell me how beautiful you are. For a Frenchman, that is almost a crime." "It would appear that the King's whore is the cause of all this. Why doesn't someone just -- get rid of her?" "Qui tacet, consentire videtur." George
  19. Boat/ship/yacht Eva Mendez (?) George
  20. Assuming Paw doesn't want to post one, I'm tossing it up for grabs. George
