Stay thirsty my friend. So you're a drunkard? Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Well if you were living back in the "primitave ages when people didn't know shit" and you saw saw a vision of the future, what would you think helicopters were? What would submarines be? How about Jet fighters? Battleships? Atomic Bombs? Meteorites? Flame throwers? Automatic weapons? Molotov coctails? ...or maybe...maybe it was just literal! Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

The last time I took the effort to give you a long elaborate reply, your answer was this: "...thanks for the long and well put together response. I see what you are saying but I think an argument can be made either way." This is a debate forum and you still never made that argument, which means either you don't have one or you just didn't wanna do the research....which is the problem. Nobody wants to do their own research...So excuse me if I don't feel imedialtely obliged to reply to your mockish tone. I don't respond to that very well...but don't worry about that...That's my problem, I have to deal with it. You just deal with yours, if you want. (far be it from me to tell you what to do.) You seem to come across as one who is knowledgable about Islam so you should already know that one of the points of the Old Testament was to establish that religion for which you so zealously defend. Regarding Haggar and Ishmael: Gen 21:13 I will make the son of the maidservant into a nation also, because he is your offspring." Gen 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. Gen 21:18 Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation." Gen 16:11-12 The angel of the LORD also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers." Now obviously there is alot going on here especially when you throw Sara and Isaac into the mix, and the whole to "throw rocks or not to throw rocks, that is the question" thingy....and I want to give an explanation of all that, because though you seem to mock, I believe you are a thiest and really want to know, unlike many people here... but I want to be thorough, dilligent, and thoughtful. To do that requires prayer, biblical references, historical and circumstantial contexts, etomology and the use of all the other tools availble for understanding. To Collate an hour long expostion can take anywhere from 30-80 hours for those that have studied the Bible for 30 years and do this work full time. I haven't and I don't...yet. Now, as I was attempting to gather those references in my study for your convenience, I have learned something new about God, The Old Testament, and myself...I now have a responsibility to go off on this rabbit trail to deal with those personal issues...So excuse me as I go off into the wilderness to do just that...Do I have your blessing O Mighty Skyrad, defender of the great nation of Islam? When I get back, (whenever that may be) I will continue building my exposition, and though only parts of it may make it's way back here, I will personally send you a full copy whenever I feel it's complete...untill then Max's response should suffice. Also, My studies will probably include some extra Biblical sources such as the Quran so I can better understand Islam and how it relates to Judiasm/Christianity....are you willing to put forth the necessary effort in your study of the Old Testament? Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Well hopefully we can all make eachother better Christians... Ya, well...you know...that's just like...uh...your opinion man. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Well one of the last scientists I heard to speak on the subject said, I hate it...I wish it would just go away...but at least she was honest. But it is your opinion...you were created and the influences on your life since then dictated how you will respond... I think we need to understand those influences. I can admit that God's influence has more effect on me now that I'm actually more open to it....and go figure, it's actually working out just fine. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

I like how you keep ignoring my refences to that scientific invisible omnipresent substance... It must be very difficult for you to admit you have to have faith in something. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

I like to use the word paradox...not contradiction. But yes, the fact remains that it has not been resolved, but that doesn't mean I'm ignoring it...I have faith that we will someday understand, probably around the same time you understand your dark matter. Ya, unless we call it Karma...something that doesn't have to be attributed to God. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

No, it was an example of reaping what you sow... Those deals were legit. There is more to do in Vegas than gamble...and those deals were legit too...well except one of em. What do I believe? What contradictions? Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

I said God works all things for the good of those who love him...but I think your idea of good is different from what God thinks is good, and what I've learned it to be. The truth is I'm not married to a hot nurse...I'm not married at all...I thought we were playing it out...It was a miserable attempt at showing how God could use a bad thing and turn it into a good thing...but there were some elemets of truth in there. I did date a hot student nurse in college for awhile, and later found a paralegal/law student who I met in a bar with whom I had a baby...the first few years were marvelous, pratically living as an athiest...but then it became a living hell...it was the beginning of the end for me...God started to break me down...I began to reap what I've sown. I had worked hard in various legit business and got along wonderfully with those I liked, but I was also a hard heated cynical bastard and schemer...by the age of 12 I had already played a significant role in bringing down a local franchise of a national chain...It hurts me to think that If God didn't break me, I could very likely be among the secret handshaking elite helping to drive this country into the ground for their own personal gain... Anyways, I had it all...but after three years with my family, all my greed, pride and lust for the world turned against me and I practically lost just about everything over night...I praticaully lived in hell for 3 years forced to live and befreind all the people I despised and continued to indulge in my own evil desires...God continued to break me down, and it felt like anything I did, no matter how close I came to rebuling my life God would crush it...I didn't understand it...my plans should've worked, they always have...but all these bizzare coincedences and people reniggin on their word and deals fallin through just broke me down even more... I finally said fuck it and ended up in Vegas for my final stand against God... It was my last chance to to hold onto everything me...my achievements, my pride, my chance to make everything "right" in the wrong way...and I almost made it...what a blast, shit was looking good...I thought "I'm gonna come out this looking better than when I was king of my own world." But noooooooooo...Vegas tore me up like the bitch I was. I wasn't fit to live in their world. I was finally completly broken, humiliated, and ashamed... On that long, humbling ride back to Detroit all I pretty much did was contemplate God. A few months later I ended up in Clearwater Beach, FL for a Job at the Golf Channel, but that fell through as well...but by this time I had started studying the Bible and was completely fascinated with the character of Jesus...and was completely at peace. I just prayed and asked the Lord not to break me like he did in California and Vegas...I said I don't completly understand this Jesus Guy, but I believe that He is your Son...I really need you this time, everything I do now gets crushed, just show me whats up... ...And that's it...that was the end of that life. I'd love to go on and tell you all the amazing things that has happened to me since then and all the adventures around the country and how God has restored me but I've gone on long enough and I usually just save those stories for those who want to believe. All I'll say for now is I find it amazing that when I was in Clearwater, I had nothing but God and it was the happiest, greatest most adventurous time of life. I don't have nearly as much worldy possessions as I had when I lived for myself, but all I need is provided and I'm happy with what I have and finally free from that bondage....I'm free from the bondage of myself and free to live for others as God directs me. I have resources and places available to me around the world for God to use me when needed, and He does....There is even a place in England that I have yet to visit...maybe I'll meet you some day. And just in case you're wondering, I actually did try to go it alone and fulfill my own ungodly desires once again...and the same thing happned as before...crushed. I basically used up all my get out of jail free cards...I'm a slave to Christ, and I like it here, don't bother trying to break me out. Now I apologize for going on and on...feel free to break it down if you want. People can call me a weak ignorant puppet sheep, but I simply don't care...I am a sheep...a sheep is a stupid animal that just tends to go off in it's own direction and I need guidance. ...and that guidance sets me at peace and I'm happier than ever...The only problem is that sinful nature still in me that pops up from time to time and I want it gone...I expect God to fulfill His promise in making that happen, just as he fufills all his promises...ultimately for His own glory.

Ultimately, it's not about me...it's about sacrafice and dying to yourself, but sometimes there are a few perks. What the hell do you mean? Jakee, I love you man...you crack me up! Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Well, you can say he did then right a book about it...wala, a new religion...it would be a cross between Mormonism and Scientology. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Good article...Thanks! I never really thought about it like that...but he's correct...the liberation theology of the right...Interesting. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Life happening is the miracle. I don't know, but it's humbling to think about...for obvious reasons. Both. I would really like to see a mathematical equation for that one...anybody up for the challenge? Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Well, you're a Christian, you're wise... How about you resolve the Wisdom of God's Sovereignty with that of human freewill? It's never been done...perhaps u da man! Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

I don't think so...we were created to do as we will, but that will not thwart the purposes of God. It diplays His Glory. I chose to play with fire and she chose to go to work. It had never worked out for me...It's a personal thing. You are calling it a better place...but for me it really was...I was in the bars looking for what I wanted, not what God wanted, so I got burned. My type of women do not mix well with me...I needed a miracle to keep me from them and that's exactly what I got. Exactly, and here's some information for you - I came from a very dark place...not your classy wine tasing sophisticated lounge, but rather a very deep dark shithole in a wall...not a place where women nor men should look for love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBxOma7EIRA&p=349B4F1B32F550EE&playnext=1&index=29 Misery: THERE IS A CHILD AND SHE SLEEPS IN THE GUTTER DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES AND SHE'S EASY TO SEE SHE IS NOT YOUR CHILD SHE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER'S AND THOSE YOU ABANDON THEY ARE LEFT TO ME AND KNOW I WILL IMPALE HER LIKE A KNIFE LEAVE HER TWISTING DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY OF A VERY SHORT LIFE WITH ME LISTEN NOW CLOSELY AND HEAR HOW I'VE PLANNED IT, PLEASE LET ME TELL YOU JUST HOW IT WILL BE SHE'LL FEEL THE PAIN BUT SHE WON'T UNDERSTAND IT, SHE'LL THINK IT'S HER FATE, BUT WE'LL KNOW IT'S ME AND KNOW I WILL IMPALE HER LIKE A KNIFE LEAVE HER TWISTING DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY OF A VERY SHORT LIFE WITH ME SO LET ME KNOW HAVE I BEEN CLEAR THAT I WILL MAGNIFY EACH CUT AND EVERY BRUISE AND EVERY SINGLE CHILDHOOD TEAR I'LL PICK HER SCABS CRIPPLE A HAND PUSH A FINGER IN EACH WOUND I MAKE NOW TELL ME THEN DO YOU UNDERSTAND YOU UNDERSTAND? YOU UNDERSTAND YOU UNDERSTAND? YOU UNDERSTAND AND KNOW I WILL IMPALE HER LIKE A KNIFE LEAVE HER TWISTING DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY OF A VERY SHORT LIFE WITH ME For many people that is the truth, which is why I'm there. I don't have to think about it...I see shit just about everyday that I could use to shove a middle finger up God's ass, but I chose to live by faith...and the evidence in this life trumps anything you can say or do to me. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

No...it's not manipulation, it's a miracle...Divine intervention...the Wisdom of God working through man's free will in order to fulfill his good pleasure...and mine too btw, you gotta remember I'm the one with a hot brunette nurse for a wife...I don't feel manipulated...maybe she does, but it's hard to tell, she never complains about anything. Did I say that? I have a wonderful hot nurse for a wife and all you can think of is why I'm so special because of the place I met her? The truth is I don't know why I'm so special or even derserve any divine grace...I just know who to thank! Not when it's comming from Quade...He is notorious for being a self proclaimed smart ass. They have absolutely no bearing on my life and I don't sit around all day looking for questions to bolster unbelief...I have all that I need. *closes laptop and goes off to the beach with hot wife on a tuesday afternoon* Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Well lets play it out... I play with fire and get burned go to the hospital and meet a hot nurse and get married. It's like God's way of saying here, I don't want you to meet your wife in a bar! There is nothing really wrong with those questions just the tone in which they're asked. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Exactly To me, all those questions sound like something a spoiled rotten ungratefull little brat would say, even though they've been provided with absolutely everything. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

No, that's not true...bad things have happened to me as a result of God's judgement against me. ...and some of those judgements are just the natural way things work, you play with fire, you get burned... Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Ho hum . . . another idle threat of violence from people that can't respond to an intellectual problem of their own making and how "Christian" too. Ho hum, another example of bigotry and ignorance from those who have nothing better to say. Ok Quade...looks like you've given up and my play on words never registered so allow me to explain for you and anyone else that's having the same trouble: You "get around" the "Law" through Jesus Christ so that you don't have to throw rocks at people to begin with. I find it interesting that you thought I was talking about getting away with murder...but it's a good thing you noticed that wouldn't be Christian, and that says alot. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

And I think it's a mistake to disregard any principles of life contained within. Really? Because I think you'd be arrested for not ignoring quite a few of them. Last time I checked the cops didn't take too kindly to stoning your neighbors. Don't worry, I know how to get around the law...would you like a "boring face to face session?" Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Are you suggesting that I read as much as you...I seriously doubt it! Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

you seem to have a bunch of questions...I don't. Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...
