You probably haven't heard of all the Christian programs which dig deep into Los Angeles, helping the criminals. Missionaries go to prisons to help the people there and Christians comfort the families of those who are in need.

Lief, I must say that he lives in Britain. It's not very likely that he'd know the goings-on in a city on the far side of a country across an ocean.

If he does, my hat comes off to him.

Glad to hear you get some pleasure out of life.

Food for the Hungry is not soley U.S. They bring food to different places in multiple countries where people are starving or in desperate need.

However, I am not surprised that Coney wouldn't know very much about Christian activities.

I am a bit surprised though, Coney, that you'd make broad statements like you have without a good awareness of the facts.


By the way, and this has nothing to do with anything I've said, I like your sense of humor . You've gotten me laughing quite a few times on threads, even though I didn't post it .

[Gwaimir Windgem]

I was referring to the LA stuff.

And yes, I think Coney is probably the funniest person here.

Hey now dont go apologizing for defending your opinion on me. I can handle energetic discussions. They are the most fun. and the christians here (you, Rian, all the regulars) are perfectly reasonable folks with hardened opinions that make for often enjoyable discussion. Now a few new folks have come on recently that have made me worried about the open mindedness of the christian population of the moot but that certainly isnt you. so dont sweat it. give me a hard time when you feel the need to you know I can handle it. And Ill be sure to do the same.

Oh gosh. (Sighs) It's just getting a little late for me. I don't like being hard on people accidentally. On purpose is one thing, and I don't mind your being hard on me much either. Actually, I can't really remember a time when we've been hard on each other, despite our essay exchanges .

I was just more emotional on this side of California than I usually am. It's all my book's fault; it's keeping me up too late!

Not that I haven't enjoyed every minute of it .

I think I'll have to be getting off soon. I might want to edit a chapter of my book before going to bed. I finished Part 2 of it a couple days ago . Yesterday I edited nine chapters, I was so into it. Today I haven't edited it at all; Entmoot has conquered me for today.

Before you go, Lief, I seem to have forgotten your email address... Could you PM it to me?

[Lief Erikson]

Ruinel . . . hello? You haven't answered my question- do you want to see some physical evidences for the Bible's being the Word of God? Don't be afraid; I wouldn't send you on a spiritual hike .

Ironparrot actually asked the same question some time ago, about why we believe in the Bible as the Word of God. I think I do have to answer that one last question, before going to bed. That would basically catch me up on the last of the last three days' argument that I missed and caught up on today.

Man, posting happens fast here. I think we'll have overwhelmed RÃ*an, when she gets back.

RÃ*an, when you get back and if you read this, would you mind giving me your opinion on my statements on page 45 about who enters the kingdom?

Oh, I'm very sorry. I read your PM, along with a couple other PMs, and never answered any of them! Just another evidence of how tired I am today .

LOL...................went to church from age 6-11, never again

get those three post's in.............get that extra thousand Gwai

*off to the Land of Nodd*

*Yawn*

[Lief Erikson]

I have a problem tomorrow concerning church. I need to go and meet a youth pastor so I can discuss with him co-teaching a class on apologetics of the Christian faith. Defenses for it, and such. Because of my research of that, I'm capable of responding to the question of whether the Bible is the Word of God with physical evidence. Though not to affectively. Obviously, I cannot prove it. Simply make it seem somewhat more likely.

So I'm torn between going there and going to my normal class, at which a screenplay writer is going to be. He has just finished reading my book today, and he enjoyed it and has many comments and notes he wants to discuss with me.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Ooo, boy, that's some choice.

EDIT:

get those three post's in.............get that extra thousand Gwai

-looks at post count-

Yowsers!

[Lief Erikson]

Goodnight, Coney . Goodnight, Gwaimir, Ruinel, Insidious Rex, everyone .

I'll probably be on again a little bit later to discuss the Bible as the Word of God. Then again, I might wait till tomorrow. We'll see. Gotta run now and see if I can take my shower!

Sorry, I thought it was rhetorical. Do I want to see any physical evidence that the Bible is written by a supernatural being? o.o Are you joking? No, I do not care to see any evidence from a cheap tabloid, thanks.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

I gave you that word, and look what you do!

[Lief Erikson]

You're making prejudgements, Ruinel. But anyway, I'll wait till later and respond to Ironparrot sometime tomorrow, or the day after.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

I also am interested in it, Lief. Ruinel can just scroll past it.

Oh, I'll read it if he posts it here. I just don't want any hooey sent to my email address.

[Artanis]

I'm also interested.

btw, I think Coney is right about Nebraska ... together with Alabama, Florida, Virginia, at least ...
