I'm curious what definition of that word you're using. Are you suggesting he enjoy an involuntary weekend or an unconscious one? Hmmm, maybe I can't figure it out because I'm an American and you're attempting to speak in the gibberish vernacular. Freedom or independence; self-governing. FYI: Google does offer dictionary services. And if you had used one, you may have realised that the word you were looking for was autonomous. And, a little further checking indicates autonomic is applicable as well, given Meso's job along with his avowed lone wolf ninja status. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

He reenlisted while in Afghanistan. I believe he will have some very definite opinions. I am leaning in the direction of your response. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

God forbid the U.S have a president who isn't a fat, drooling redneck. It should be so obvious that weight is directly proportionate to one's ability to lead. Maybe you could start your search for candidates at a local pie eating competition, or maybe even a frat house, nothing says intellectual, diligent leader like one's ability to party hard. Once again a foreigner has no concept of American vernacular. That's OK, you have your video games to keep you company. Enjoy your autonomic weekend.

Kallend posted the original link last week. It was real eye opener for me, I mean a life changing paradigm shift in my psyche. I know I was guided to it by the ministry of the Holy Spirit to grant me additional peace and joy on journey home. These scientific types can stack empirical evidence on top of quantum layers of subatomic particles till hell freezes over and it will not make any difference to me. Scientific study will not prove science to a true believer with conviction. On the other hand, no amount of first hand testimony from a born-again, transformed life will have any effect on the scientific, engineering minds. Psychological or spiritual phenomena will not alter the target fixated linear mind of those who live only on the physical plane. The line has been clearly defined. The sides have been chosen. No further debate, discussion or elaborate examples need to be given. Straight is the gate and narrow is the path. There are few who find it.

And this is what is wrong with those promoting it. It's just stupid. The President of the US has more important things to do than this. And you add to the fun with your down your nose blatantly false accusation because you dont have the confidence to deal with it choice post! As far as important things to do? I hope this slows him up until he can be replaced. He has done enough fucking damage

Just in case you haven't already been told, you are doing a great job. I appreciate your faith, presence here and the exhausting effort required to stay in the arena.

What RonD1120 is describing is pluralism/universalism. That is not what Jesus taught (John 14:6). I did not make that statement. It belongs to Laszloimage.

I cannot state the with any certainty the status of Gandhi's soul. I do not know. I have studied other spiritual paths beside Christianity. My spiritual journey started around 1972 and ended 16 Mar 81. When I met the risen Christ my search ended. From that point until now, my focus has been the study and practice of the sanctified life. It is a continual learning process and I have only scratched the surface of what is available. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

BHO just announced, I mean right now while reading this thread, that his birthday is "August 4th, 1951." 1) Can't keep the facts of his cover story correct? 2) Misread the teleprompter? 3) Desires to distract attention from his cranial scar?

That's a pity. I'd expect you not to accept scientific rules for theology and the existence of God. Not believing scientific evidence for scientific conduct is silly. It's what that language is built for. How do you think medicines are developed these days? New medical treatments? It's not the same world as theology, why would you expect to use the same language? Wendy P. I was building on kallend's reference, "The Science of Why We Don't Believe Science." http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/03/denial-science-chris-mooney It is the most meaningful reference I have seen here in SC. It gave me a real "Ah Hah" moment. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

OK...if you want to rephrase it that way I'll accept that. One's as good as the other. I was standing on semantics? Well, "I believe (anything)..." leads to open-ended discussion for debate and/or clarification. "I don't know (anything)..." is more to the point and cannot be debated. You can't get more accurate and informative than that. Yep. I would agree that some things are more likely than others. If we were discussing likelihood and/or probabilities you'd have a point there. From Wikipedia: "The word "semantics" itself denotes a range of ideas, from the popular to the highly technical. It is often used in ordinary language to denote a problem of understanding that comes down to word selection or connotation." The problem of understanding usually comes from... a) trying to fit a statement into one's own frame of reference rather than evaluating the statement on its own merit. b) having no valid frame of reference for evaluation. (a) Twist it, re-shape it and turn it around so that it says what you think it should say...quite common. (b) Talking out one's ass is also quite common. (Now don't go getting all pissy. I wasn't saying YOU were talking out YOUR ass.) OMG, you have been sucked into the rabbit hole. The only escape is thread suicide. Jakee will never let you out.

I'm sure that it is funny. Linear thinkers have goals, logic, methodology and empirical evidence to support their thoughts. True believers tend to think from different spheres of consciousness, some physical and some spiritual or metaphysical. The English language is simply not adequate to describe their thoughts. Get two or more true believers together and they can communicate, often without speaking. They share thoughts and experiences on the energy beam of God's love. Call it mental telepathy if you like but that is not really an adequate term. Pentecostal Christians call it "a witness in the Spirit." Edit to add: That is why you can't use science prove something scientific to true believers. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Man is comprised of a soul, a spirit and lives in a body. The body dies in time. The spirit seeks relationship with God. It is the basis of life. The soul is the mind, emotions and, the will. The soul is eternal. Reference, Hebrews and Charles R. Solomon. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

could we get that in writing, please? I'm a bit tired of the missionaries, constantly pestering me to see the light. They even insist on showing up at races, though those fuckers tend to have a more hateful message rather than a sales pitch for some reason. Print my post. However, it was personal. I can't speak for others. I am getting a bit tired of the same old arguments showing up here against the right to share good news. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
