  1. As you wish, WordWolf. However, I do believe Steve answered my question.
  2. It's not Wierwille who skips from noon to 9 a.m., it's John. And John skipping from noon to 9 a.m. without so much as a "the next day" reference strains credibility beyond the breaking point, in my opinion.
  3. Perhaps plausible, but it now strikes me as rather arbitrary to shoehorn an entire day of activity between vv. 16 and 17 and suggest, for no comprehensible reason, that the author did not find the events of those 21 hours worth mentioning.
  4. Oh, that's right. Wierwille stretched out the timeline. Totally forgot about that.
  5. I tossed my copy of Jesus Christ our Passover in the trash some years ago, but I have a question regarding how TWI handled one of those pesky apparent discrepancies. In Mark 15:25, it says that Jesus was crucified at 9 a.m. In John 19:13, Pilate doesn't hand Jesus over to be crucified until noon. They can't both be right. I remember being very impressed with how JCOP handled discrepancies (although there are some arguments I no longer buy, but that's not important right now). How did JCOP handle this one? Anyone still have it?
  6. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl First quote was a clever quip about the actual Disney ride.
  7. Cheated to get it. Will post an answer Monday if no one really gets it before then.
  8. Are the movies in the right order, or did you describe the second one first again? I think I've got the first one, but I'm stumped on the second.
  9. A boy wizard learns more about potions than he ever bargained for when he stumbles upon a used textbook written by a cartoon Moses.
  10. I'm here. I'm here. A boy wizard learns more about potions than he ever bargained for when he stumbles upon a used textbook written by Moses.
  11. I say give him the credit for it, WordWolf!
  12. Cheating permitted after a couple of days. This was a recent Best Picture Oscar nominee. Not a blockbuster, but hardly obscure by definition.
  13. SIT and TIP are by inspiration, not by revelation. I love how VPW can invent distinctions out of whole cloth and have people parrot that opinion as gospel decades after he lost the ability to con anyone out of another dime.
  14. Please do a word study on firmament. Please show what that word means throughout scripture: empty space, or a solid structure? Please tell me, based on genuine historical research, what that word meant to the audience that originally read it. What did it mean to the first century church? Please show me any indication that Biblical Israel or the early Christian church was aware of the vastness of outer space. You won't find it. Science, not scripture, gave us this knowledge. P.S. You keep saying things along the lines of accusing me of sounding like a natural man, etc. I would appreciate it if you would cut the bs. If you're going to challenge my points, challenge them. This ad hominem nonsense is beneath you. Challenge the merits of what I'm saying, with facts instead of opinion. Saying it sounds like what a natural man would say dodges the issue of whether a natural man is approaching the subject matter with more intellectual honesty than you. I contend that on this issue, he is.
  15. You can deny it all you'd like. You're flat out wrong, but go ahead. The truth needs no defense, remember? You can pretend the Bible says what you claim it does, but it doesn't. You can call me a natural man, but only one of us is letting the Bible speak for itself on this matter, and it's not you.
  16. The second version of the clue contains a simple restating of the title of the first moving, using other words. Deafening Sound and unbelievable proximity... encounters of the third kind. :)
  17. Terms of Endearment Jack Nicholson The Witches of Eastwick
