And not FROM Scripture. Glad you could acknowledge your source correctly. Incorrect-if Scripture is the standard. If pfal is the standard, then you reflected what it said. That explanation ALSO does not correspond to Scripture. Those of us who don't subscribe to "vpw/pfal said it, I believe it" anymore would need, at the very least, a Scriptural basis for it, or even a logical basis for it. A solely textual basis from pfal doesn't cut it- "vpw said it, that settles it, I believe it" is not enough for ALMOST everyone. That IS all out of pfal. However, it is also wrong. For startets, it's been over A DECADE since we first discussed that vpw's explanation of the phrase "private interpretation" in the King James Version was incorrect and failed to address what the verse was actually saying. He invented a different, cool meaning he could use because it reflected what he wanted to teach. The verse was saying something simpler. However, vpw used what he referred to as "private interpretation" to come up with his definition of "private interpretation." A decade later (probably a lot more), you still don't have this down. That matter little with how badly you misunderstand that verse. Fixing the understanding of one word won't correct the bigger problems. If we make it clear when we're giving our opinion or best understanding on something, there's nothing wrong with that. I've given 2 explanations to the same verse together, with their rationales, and said the listeners could pick their favorite. In neither case did the overall meaning change, they both were going in the same direction and disagreed on a tiny point. Except you're "privately interpreting" what privately interpreting MEANS. That may or may not be evil, depending on the specifics, but it certainly is neither God's will nor "best."

Then this show would probably be "Leverage." (Since I can't find any references to a show named "lever" but I remember something called "leverage."

We either need another clue or another show.

I agree about Hackman, but I'm thinking it's Superman 3, not Superman 2. I've seen Superman 2 a lot and I think I'd recognize much of the script. Naturally, if I'm wrong, I will be chagrined.

I was thinking about how "Recognized Corps" was something handy if you wanted to "date up" into the corps, and it worked for John T and others into getting them recognition. However, the phrase I probably should have been thinking of was "Spouse Corps."

John, what's your definition of "foretold?" I ask because Abraham DID foretell at least 1 thing, no matter what we were taught. So, before I point that out, I want your definition of what foretelling is so you don't change your definition as soon as I do to suddenly exclude it.

I forget when I last saw this one, but it was long ago enough I forgot.

"You've really been grand (I thrill when you touch my hand) But don't you see (How can you do this thing to me?) There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my life long sorrow) At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died)"

Too bad-I actually linked through the 4th most recognizable person on the cast. Jennifer, Mark and Andy are all known for other movies.

Too many MADE-UP definitions, made up by people who didn't understand the English language that well. (This practice is still defended by other people who don't understand the English language that well.) There is no word "retemory" in the English language. It is only used in twi and ex-twi circles. It is a portmanteau of the words "memory" and "retain". That, BTW, was written out in the syllabus of a class- Renewed Mind or DwtA, I forget which.

"Every time that I look in the mirror, All these lines on my face getting clearer."

Yes and yes, but he doesn't have the biggest lips- gotta give that to Mick Jagger.

Yes, let's not let the ad hominem attacks, and the strawmen, drag us further off-topic. Delusions help no one.

I'm hoping he addresses this when he checks in again. I intend to post the verses and explain- right after he gives his answer to the best of his understanding.

The song's name is "Wonderful", and the band's name is "Everclear", named after an alcoholic drink that is almost 100% alcohol. Me, I really liked "I Will Buy You A New Life", a later song of theirs.

"Every time that I look in the mirror"

It is if the alcohol is 190 proof.

So you freely acknowledge that a warning system meant to warn against problems or errors can fail to do so, and you understand that. Naturally, you can't reason any further from that. There's the PROUD "black and white thinking" again.... I learned SOME good stuff about praying, and SOME things improved. Therefore, there is NOTHING harmful about the organization that taught it, and the system it imparted. How do I know this? I learned how to parse all this out through the system it imparted. According to its own rules, it says it works fine, and examining it to see if there's a problem is as evil as Eve considering in The Garden.

BINGO. I do not claim that happens everywhere, every time. However, it happens quite a bit. ========================= To illustrate the point, more specifically.... John, According to the Bible, when concerning the prenatal development of children, to the best of our abilities to know, when does the Bible say that we're dealing with a baby and not the potential FOR a baby anymore? This is not a trick question. There is an easy-to-document answer that can be quoted and understood.

*looks it up* I guarantee I have not heard of this until just now. Mostly, when I have time now, and I watch movies, I'm watching movies that have been out for a few years or a few decades. And I am NOT connected to the same culture as closely as I was. (I don't overhear about new movies over the radio or things like that any more.)

Ditto.

"What we've got here is failure to communicate."

Trying to get a grasp here of how you define "world wisdom." So, if something does not contradict Scripture, it is neither "world wisdom" (as used in this discussion) or "bad", then? And thus open for discussion free of condemnation that it is actually "world wisdom", then?
