Guys, about a year ago I mentioned I was looking into this view and I have to say I'm pretty much a convert. WOW, is it solid. I thought it had no merit but I read Thomas Talbotts "Inescapable Love of God" and was floored. He's a christian philosopher and makes some incredible points. I'm not in my second book on the issue called "The Evangelical Universalist" and its every bit as good as Talbotts. Basically it sees the nature of God as being love. All attributes are extensions of this and therfore God seeks to reconcile all (not some as reformed argue). Excelent book by Talbott, I recommend it to everyone. Auggy

hahahaha yea, it's unbelievable what people will do with scripture. Kill cause God kills! OUT! Aug

Im a huge terran fan I love the ghost and nukes you get like 15 of em and drop em and it wreaks havon on everyone sometime even yourself lol great game! allanon, let me know when your going on PM and I'll duke it out with you i suck though man so if you're good take it easy on me Aug

I watched the trailers and thought man they don't read their bibles...or perhaps they do and read it with laziness??? No where does it say people will dissappear? It's causing a lot of controversy cause in the game your a left behind person who takes up millitary action by killing others (I think muslim) is included. what do you guys think? Auggy

My suggestion is a 3 ccd camcorder. If your lighting in the church is low then you need to buy a NICE camera from 2000-3000. if you go 3000 you can get a sony HDFX1 which is a hi def 3 ccd camera I have and it's AWSOME. couple that with vegas video and your rocking. I believe if you get vegas 6 from B&H for 99 you get a free upgrade to V7. As for audio you can get a small SD recorder like this, http://www.music123.com/Zoom-MRS4B-Digital...r-i149332.music its a small SD 4 track digital recorder and will plug right into the audio mixer. But running it into the camera really handles it all. Its only advantage is if the tape runs out the audio does not stop so you grab it all. But syncing is a challenge I'm doing wedding videos and I've learned the hard way : ) I would say if your lighting is good go with a low end 3 CCD camera. Dont go with a 1 CCD no matter the size. 3 CCD makes a workld of difference. Aug

mookie, are you saying using both a router for cloaking on the net and use software to ward off attacks when programs are exploited? Aug

ok, i've got a linksys wireless router. Does it have a firewall? if so how do I enable it? Aug

is the windows really good? I thought that thing would be cracked in 2 days : ) Aug

Guys, I'm a long time norton user and I'm sick of it. I know that 2003, 2004, 2005 all have a bun that arbitrairily causes them to turn the security off leaving you exposed. I've read about it and I'm tired of waiting a year to see when a new version will come out that does not have this. I know you guys are truly learned and am hoping you all can tell me which is a better firewall. Heres a good way to start. Panda is out. I hate this wall more than norton. so lets start from there.

yea, I think the office has curb beat on awkwardness. Did you see where michael (manager) calls oscar "raggy" OH MY!!!! that was sooooo wierd and akward I was dying turning red. I heard the brit one was funny as well. I'd like to see em. Good TV man!

yea, Not the british one. Dude I was dying when jim (in his new position) HAS to play call of duty. The workers shut all the blinds and then all you hear are guns and gernades. Then the manager comes out and says "you two (jim and some other cat) GET IN MY OFFICE NOW". You think he's gonna yell at them for some job or failure to meet a quota but he says "we're getting creamed out there" hahahaha hah aha the managers in on it too hah ah ahahahaha ha. I actually think this show is funnier than curb although I LOVE CURB! that show makes me die laughing too. Along with sein. How can you not die laughign with sienfeld. Aug

It's totally the best show since Seinfeld. It's so flippin funny you'll die laughing. Aug

yea I ditto your dads lesson. That is a major part of Jesus' lesson and we miss it. Indeed alot of what Jesus taught should have been applied to Isreal. Those who live by the sword die by the sword. Isreal did not realize if they rose up againse rome they would be crushed. Gods kingdom is one of serving one another rather than only the strong survive. Aug

Actually, I'm not doing this for unbelievers but for believers. The question is do believers believer he "broke" the law or what? In our sunday school class it became more apparent to me how legalistic we are when we read the scriptures. I listen to christian radio (conservative) and I hear a very dogmatic point of view. In our ss class a heated debate broke out because I defended the pharisees on their position. I did not defend them as to being righteouss but if a human logic is applied then they are right on target. I realized...they were conservatives HAHA. For example... Jesus declares all food clean. In order to understand him I took our class for 6 weeks back to the mosaic law about the foods and what we found is indeed God does say they are detestable to him and isreal was not to eat them. So what does the scriptures mean when its written "I came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it." So we discussed what is unclean about pork and believe it or not people argued that God told moses and Isreal that because of tricanosis or cholestorol. They had a reason for everything. So I realized they don't see that Jesus has vision that understands the law where we don't. Thus it made sense why people took me a bit strange to defend the pharisees. Really I was accusing them but in a opposit sort of way. Aug

geek, t ake your time bro. I'm not going anywhere. I'm trying to get ideas to make it really happen. Simulating the trial that is. I've read a ton of commentaries and they for the most part similar except for the more liberal ones. They get a bit out there. But if any thoughts or questions cross your mind then please, shoot away. Aug

Why not? Jesus said that he is the way to heaven, that we are not burdened by not eating pork etc. So he is rewriting it. In my view Jesus did not come to earth to follow existing laws of the Jews, but to basicly change them so all can enter into heaven. So why not use the words Jesus said? Since Jesus is on the defence we cant use the words that built our faith? If so then the accuser cannot use the OT Jewish laws. Since it is the basis of the accuser's knoledge. sorry, I meant NT (exceptions of the gpspels) For the very reason you point out. But understand in court it is no proof to quote jesus. In other words if the pharisees charge Jesus as a heretic for promoting "eating unclean foods is lawful" then the law will be used against him. The pharisees will quote Exodus, Lev, numbers and Duet... If a member of the defense tries to quote Jesus it is circular as the judge will need to see legal evidence as to why it suddenly is clean or it is not a violation of the law. If a member tries to quote paul then it becomes unfair to the prosecution (pharisees) as there was no new testament. My motivation is in the literallness I believe that we are all like pharisees. Since you hold a different position than most you don't quite fit the mold but most believe Jesus did not "rewrite" or "change" or "edit" or "abolish" the law but "fullfilled" it. (what ever that means). In sunday school I presented a case that the pharisees were not all that off based if human logic is used. But my point was about dogma and judging people. Jesus had spiritual vision but we use a more human vision and read the scriptures with arrogance as if we can harmonize it like a math book. Thus, if most poeple reject Jesus "rewrote" "abolished" or "broke" the law then I'd like to make a case to see if they can defend the position. Every commentary I could find on this subject seems to lead to a modern mechanic of "Jesus did everything that the law required, and doing good work on the sabbath was permitted in the OT" So I'm saying "show it to me".

wow way, This is my first day reading this post and my heart goes out to you and your whole family. I'm saddened by hearing such hardships with people I know. my wife, myself and my daughter wish you the best and will keep you in our prayers. Auggy

Guys, I see it's been a while since any of us have posted here so I'll go ahead and get some feedback from my ol bros. I've been studying the book of luke and one of the main themes I've learned is the reversal that Jesus brought to their line of thinking. This made me question myself and my upbringing. In class (sunday school) we've been going through luke and when we see Jesus going against the grain I was taught that he adhered to the regulation of the torah. But then I taught SS for 6 weeks and I decided to take the class through the mosaic law and what I found was that Jesus in fact does not do the norm. When I was taught he obeyed the law I thought it meant he did every rule and regulation cause to not do that meant it was sin. For traspass of the law is sin right? Now I realize its a matter of perspective. What does law mean to you? What is the mosaic law? What does obedience mean? thus I found that my thought reasonins and mechanics lead me to the same conclusion the pharisees had. Thus I found myself the same as them and ready to hang the one man, I've admired so much. I hear people say "we all put him on the cross" but now I'm convinced WE ALL WOULD PUT HIM ON THE CROSS if we were spiritual jews. This lead me to begin to organize my first theatrical attempt. Putting Jesus on Trial. An interactive simulated modern day trial between a prosecution and defense. The prosecution will be challeneged to prove why Jesus is not of God and is indeed a heretic. Their claims are (this is what I have so far w/ help of my father in law). 1) Jesus broke the sabbath or teaches others it's ok to do "good" work on the sabbath while the written word says "you shall not do ANY work" 2) Jesus forgives the prostitute when he should have stoned her as the law requires of adulterers. 3) Jesus is teaching that unclean foods are now clean; scripture clearly teaches there are unclean foods. 4) Jesus is touching the unclean (diseased) people and not going to the pries to be cleansed as required by law. My father in law has more... the Defense will have to argue why working on the sabbath is not unscriptual and is obedient to the mosaic law. and so on... now heres comes the rub... Hind sight is 20/20....right. Defense CANNOT use new testament scripture to defend the accused. My idea is to put believers back at the time (there was no NT) of the hearing and making a case from the text (OT) to prove he is innocent. It's a tough assignment when we think so algebraically. My feelings are we too might see him as a Joseph smith of his time. Its this SS class that has taught me to see him deeper and his teaching. Any thoughts on pulling this off? Auggy

guys I'm going ape on this one. I'm a huge freak of this game and I live! Spy owns! I hope he can still play dead that was so clutch! Aug
