Yeah, thanks Engine. And thanks, Jerry.

It's way out in the middle of nowhere, I'm sure. No flights available to the public, but if you know where to look, you can get there by broom. I'll get my firebolt. :)--> Congrats!

Leave it to TWI to take a concept born of individual generosity and turn it into an obligation. It goes beyond abundant sharing It's giving your plurality You really want to move the Word It's time to raise your vision. It goes beyond abundant sharing. It's giving your plurality You've got the choice. It's in the Word. What's your decision? Don't you love how the "choice" is not whether or not to give, but rather whether or not to "do the Word." It's okay if you DON'T do the Word. That's your choice. You're just not doing the Word. No guilt trip there, right? Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Holy cow. Zix, I have to agree with you on this one. Excellent.

I want to point out that I have no problem with the accuracy and integrity of God's Word. I simply do not believe that PFAL is synonymous with that term, and the fact that something appears in PFAL is not evidence to me that it is "the accuracy and integrity of God's Word." It is a thesis to be tested, as the scripture instructs us to do. I'm tired of sycophants criticizing researchers who do exactly what God's Word instructs us to do, which is to prove all things and hold fast to that which is good. I think Wierwille got a lot right. Allos and heteros is something he got wrong. Big whoop? Yeah, big whoop, unless you are so wedded to his "rightness" that you are both unwilling and unable to see the plain truth right in front of your eyes, merely because it plainly and flatly contradicts what the earth-shaker wrote and taught in a class. He was fallible. His works were fallible. So why does it surprise anyone when a flaw is pointed out and documented?

Nope. I have it on good authority that Mrs. God is a Latina. Her name is Gloria Dios. Spanish people invoke her name all the time.

Wierwille used the definitions of heteros and allos as part of his proof that there were four crucified, not two, with Jesus. That part of his argument is discredited. I agree with WTH in that it doesn't mean (by itself) that the four crucified position is wrong. It simply means that the heteros allos part of the evidence does not prove what Wierwille said it proved.

Clearly, you cannot be speaking of Wierwille, for whom the concept of "research" in this particular instance meant regurgitating what so-and-so said about allos and heteros (had his research extended further, he would have seen that he was wrong).

ROB! Where have you bean?

I'd pull THE's feeding tube in a heartbeat if Paw would let me get away with it.

No, sir, you have me mistaken with the man in your mirror. If you want to spend the time with me comparing notes on allos and heteros, and comparing them with what Wierwille wrote, I'm game. Oh, and for the record, I said I did not have the time to try to convince you that your right cheek is of the same kind as your left. Here is my exact quote: Then you wrote: You were either accidentally wrong about what I posted, or deliberately lying and trying to mischaracterize my words. Either way, your mistake is exposed.

No, that's a lie. It would not take all that much time at all. An hour, maybe two, will establish all you need to know. What I posted earlier only took a few minutes. But here's what's stupid to me: you declare with zero research that the definitions are fairly consistent. I look into that claim and show they are not. Then you criticize ME for taking the time to look it up. You should have stopped at "if he's wrong about it, so what?" You were on stronger ground then.

What further proof do you need, assuming you actually care about the issue?

Exactly.

They had reported it on the air.

:)-->

CNN, Reuters and Fox news all reported he'd died, but none had Vatican confirmation (no pun intended).

None. Best thing to do is check every report and what their sources are. I failed to do that this time, figuring no one would blunder on something this big. Me! And I'm in Florida! :)-->

There was an apparently incorrect report earlier that he had died. I started a thread, and Paw was kind enough to delete it at my request. I apologize for spreading the false alarm.

If I'm not mistaken, Prince is now a Jehovah's Witness.

LG isn't saying that you or anyone here is intentionally lying. He's saying that whoever originated that information was intentionally lying.
