Oh, there is a MOG Fortune 500 now? Sweet

Source? What does it even matter? I just had a thought. I heard of this bloke, Gbenga Adeboye. We shoulda documented what he saw.

Well, three veteran votes. [size=4pt]The rest na formality[/size]

For feari of bulala, I'll give three options and depending on your votes, I'll decide whether to just go against your choices for the hell of it.

Fantastic Mr. Fox.
The Ladykillers
Silence of the Lambs
L. A. Confidential and
The Informant.

After 24hrs, I'll review the movie y'all would have influenced me to choose

What are you both doing online at the same time at this hour? You guys bring out the best in each other. Indeed I understood the message Nuke, lol. I'm looking for kAG sef on your thread, Deep. She/he left when I brought up her/his she/he sex, lol. Go help me find him/her Deep, please?

Lol. Are you saying Deep Sight is wise and intelligent and intellectual? Lol. I just couldn't help it, forgive me. I think this verse sums up what I've been trying to say before Nuke and Deep engaged each other and everyone in the virgin birth saga. The verse shows that one needs spiritual 'organs' to understand and recognize spiritual matters. Leave your intellectualism at home. As I said earlier, this is not a bad thing and is not the same as being plain stupid like people who . . . . . . well pick a suitable example.

You're pretty optimistic but he committed (allegedly) a civil crime not a spiritual one. God, I'm sure will look the other way and let justice (which he must be a big fan of if you believe Jesus died for your sins etc) go through.

Stuff by Sara Bereilles (?) and Robie Williams (love this dude)

His reward will be in heaven and his punishment here. Or would you it were reversed?

Charlie Wilson's War. A surprising film. Never heard of it and I was spellbound by Philip S Hoffman. Finally the last bit for him to enter my hall of fame. Hanks was his usual awesome self. Julia did well. Very well actually. The film as a whole was good to see. Strong moving story without the usual sappy crap

I doubt my prayers are worth much but I'm not about to waste them on a crook just cuz he pays his tithes. No sir

Lol. I'm glad. Truthfully, there's no point either way. If I was a Christian, meaning I worship Christ, I wouldn't think it even mattered that much anyways. Jesus would be just as awesome either way. While we're closing curtains, may I suggest we close the curtains on whether Jesus is divine too and 'argue' about other things whereof one's opinion really makes a difference in the world.

Tell me, how can someone purposely knowingly ascribe to the devil what one believes to be God's? I don't get it. Plus let's not forget the dudes are priests and they couldn't have thought things like the devil is as powerful as God.

NDEs really make my tummy ache. How anyone would believe in such things is beyond me for I'd think even if it were true, it's not for public consumption. If I came back from death, I wouldn't tell anyone what I 'saw'. No sir

Besides, I'd say it is impossible to once be 'born again' and then choose against this. It is impossible. It is like living in Siberia for seven years and just out of the blue decide that Siberia does not, never had and never will exist.

Ah. History repeats itself even in the short span of a few threads. I think I'll just be a passive reader from now on. Ceteris paribus

With matters of the heart, hints are terrible things. Sit them down and tell them in clear terms that you are not interested. Don't be a jerk about it but be lucid. Don't go about giving attitude or all that Colin Farrell crap

I guess I didn't get the memo

Wth? Of course he said that because he's an atheist

Christianity is fairly free. Why do you find a need for straitjackets? Are you a Deeper Lifer?

Some people are only perfectly capable of making things more incredible. Do your cause a favour, Alex. Stop talking.

What difference does it freaking make?

@Deep Sight. You're right. I did not take time out to read all the seven references in toto. I assumed you and Nuke were in concordance with the 1 in 7 thingie. I thought there was only one verse, one bone of contention. Now I have seen the other verses. I agree that the young woman fits virtually all, as it should being the literal translation, but I also think people would not go around calling young women virgins except it serves a purpose like with Mary. You won't introduce your daughter to your friend: 'Hey Mark, meet my virgin daughter.' I believe at an age, that would be taken for granted. Especially given the Jewish laws against fornication and adultery. Nevertheless this shouldn't be conclusive proof. Frankly, I'd say the lot of the references in the OT are of little or no significance except the Isaiah verse. I've discovered that many of the NT writers tailor their writings to suit almost all the prophecies in the OT even without seeing anything for themselves and that's what happened there. I can show an example of this. It is just misplaced zealousness. It was expected that there would be a virgin birth and therefore, a virgin birth is reported in the NT. All I'm saying is, you cannot use the NT to prove there was never a virgin birth because I think it is clear what the NT meant despite its choice of words. And in any case, Mary's declaration of confoundment as to the whole Jesus business is proof enough. Plus you don't go saying: behold! when you're gonna do something mundane like making a 'young woman' conceive through normal means

This is a Catholic Church. The money almost always goes straight to the Vatican.

@Deep Sight. I didn't mean to insinuate dishonesty or duplicity. I meant that as regards your singular relationship with Nuke. He'll continue to not address 'issuses and not persons' if you finish arguments once and for all. You're not a liar at all, just a good lawyer.

This is the religious version of the American Dream abi?

I think being good to others and yourself and to God if that's possible is all that matters. Religion (not brainwashing) cannot make a truly good person bad, only stupid. But religion can turn a bad person into a thorough psychopath.

I dunno how one can ever hope to show that the bible never meant that Jesus was a virgin birth. It's impossible and a bit ridiculous. If there's a one in seven chance that alma meant young woman there, are we then to consider the remaining six as useless? Also it would be some miracle, as the bible implies, for a young woman to have sex and give birth. Some miracle indeed. This is not worth debating. I don't believe in the virgin birth but it's not because of a 'the bible never said so, see here, look' mentality

Ah. Superman. Snyder. Good vs Evil. Considering that Batman went from something I couldn't give a damn about to something I take seriously courtesy the Nolans, I'll give Superman a tiny chance. I'm kinda terrified I might like it. Must he wear his ridiculous custome though?

The Bourne Legacy. I've not read the book since I thought the writer is not only unknown to me but also no one can spin it like Ludlum. But despite this, I'm excited about this. Yes sir! Though I'm wondering how Damon will lose all that weight since The Informant. I'm unsure about Gilroy but it seems everyone wants a shot at Jason. I hope he doesn't spoil a beautiful trilogy.

I think it is sinning against the Holy Spirit or something.
