skyrider: by searching Wierwille's works, Mike thinks he IS searching the scriptures.

I cannot think of a bigger waste of time than ferreting out the uses of exception and distinction in the works of VPW to determine why he made what any third grader can tell you was a stupid mistake.

Correction: I CAN think of a bigger waste of time than ferreting out the uses of exception and distinction in the works of VPW to determine why he made what any third grader can tell you was a stupid mistake.

A bigger waste of time than ferreting out the uses of exception and distinction in the works of VPW to determine why he made what any third grader can tell you was a stupid mistake would be convincing Mike that there's no bigger waste of time than ferreting out the uses of exception and distinction in the works of VPW to determine why he made what any third grader can tell you was a stupid mistake.

Bullinger was more clear than Wierwille on the topic, but it really was much ado about nothing.

I received my copy of PFAL after Wierwille died, and it still had "all without distinction." I cannot speak for later editions. JCING has "all with a distinction." SINCE Wierwille did not consider his works God-breathed, it was never an issue, and "you know what I meant" is a perfectly satisfying answer to me.

THERE IS NOTHING "GOD BREATHED" ABOUT PFAL.

Hate to say I told you so, but HE told ME so.

Mannn, this is gonna be GOOD!

Likewise.

Just a note:

I looked up cessationism and realized that, although I personally prefer the term, it is incorrect for this discussion. Annihilationist is the correct term.

A cessationist believes the "gifts of the spirit" (or manifestations: let's not get into that here) ceased with the first century.

An annihilationist believes that hell is not literal.

Babylon Mystery Religion, by Ralph Woodrow. Retracted in "The Babylon Connection?" (the ? is part of the title. I'm not asking).

Is that right? Hmph. I'll have to give those tapes another listen. Or i could just discard them entirely. :)-->

Ever come across an interesting tidbit of info that you just KNOW would surprise the bejeezus out of people?

The lady who played the Irish woman on Titanic, the one who puts her kids to bed while the ship is sinking, is the same lady who played the tougher-than-tough Vasquez in Aliens.

I'll bet you didn't know that.

What do you know?

He, too, said that the notion was ludicrous, since there's no way for anything in the lymph to affect other tissues until it's cycled back into the bloodstream. Of course, he's only a medical doctor....not an engineer or anything smart like that... -->

Oh yeah?

Well, what's his name?

It strikes me that Hannegraff's comments are pure P.I. He draws a false comparison, arguing that "eternal reward" is a parallel to "eternal punishment," when annihilationists (I prefer the term "cessationists") believe the comparison is between "eternal life" and "eternal death." (ignoring the "eternal" argument for the sake of this post).

"We would be FORCED to say that God shouldn't extend eternal bliss to finite creatures."

Right, Hank. That's, umm, well, it's kind of why we call it GRACE!

A good trial lawyer will tell you that juries believe eye witnesses over double-blind, placebo studies. Such a trial lawyer is insulting juries.

We're supposed to believe this stuff now because of the insults leveled at juries by trial lawyers?

My name is Rafael Olmeda, and Penta Water is bunk.

Oldiesman,

If one holds to the view that the historic Jesus was misrepresented by those who came to revere him, it would be easy to acknowledge him as a great rabbi without thinking him lunatic, liar, legend or lord.

Are you asking? Or is that rhetorical.

Chris Geer had two more trustees installed after POP: Johnny Townsend and Ricardo Caballero. They both got kicked out in the 1989 purge.

To the best of my knowledge, Townsend remained a Geer loyalist. I have no idea what happened to Caballero, or if my info on Townsend is still valid (it was 10 years ago).

I think your joke was closer to the truth than your serious comment, unfortunately.

This was not "another viewpoint" on the topic: it was the viewpoint he accepted and propounded as truth.

Part of the premise of the 13th Tribe is that many modern Jews are not the descendants of the ancient Jews but descendants of a Russian tribe known as the Khazars. Everything you need to know about Wierwille's take on this book can be found in the appendix "Jew and Judaean" in Jesus Christ Our Passover.

DNA testing has proven Koestler's thesis false.
