  1. I actually created an AI based on my past posts to carry on for me in this forum. Turns out he doesn’t post very often either. —-generated by mordorbundchat
  2. Wait, what land is that?
  3. The “controversial” commercial: I struggle to see the controversy here. The message I get from it is “Yes, many people who are ideologically opposed to you are Christian. They belong in the body of Christ. So do you. There’s a place for you and a place for them.” It’s an attempt to invite people to fill the pews who may feel alienated by church. Once there, it’s the job of local congregations to help them feel welcome and the role of local ministers to invite the same sort of change and indwelling encouraged of long-time members. Calvary Chapel in California took a similar approach with the displaced hippies and its members today form a small Bible Belt in a land of “nones”.
  4. Depends on if you’re referring to Deity. 😆
  5. I thought there was a standard that said capitalize pronouns for divinity if there's some ambiguity about whether it's a member of the Godhead speaking. "And the disciple whom Jesus loved lean on His [capital, must be Jesus] breast and he [not capital, must be John] said 'Lord, who is it?'" I might have read that for another organization's publications. Here's something more official: Looks like this style has been in use for 50 years.
  6. The first 4 lines hits different when you’ve been reading Jacobean English.
  7. If only there was 3 lines of 5 syllables each to remember when Easter is…..
  8. A shame this wasn’t written 7 years earlier. I mentioned to a professor that I wanted to learn more about the symbol, and he said he didn’t know anything about the Melchizedek connection. He gave me a referral to special collections so I could see it on the cover of a codex. Somehow I found a book with the Ravenna murals (did I get those from Lyons himself?) and got a friend who spoke German to translate portions for me. I even pulled up material on Melchizedek but there was nothing there. Gaskill, what took you so long?!?!?!
  9. @Just_A_Guy’s article refers to it as Rub el Hizb. Maybe that will yield results.
  10. If the United States is willing to get involved in the Middle East because of our interest in petroleum, I think we should do some "nation building" in India to free up their untapped dairy resources.
  11. How did you react when he was diagnosed with "being in love"?
  12. Nibley's Temple and Cosmos (page 17): "The curious Saturn stones may refer to the unlimited glories awaiting worthy saints." No citations for it though.
