Re: Why I am big on history
History is about people, how things got to be the way they are, and you can learn from past mistakes and past successes ... lots to like.

Re: Gold Standard vs Fiat Currency
OK. I will send you a kilo of bread for every kilo of gold or silver you send me. You need not pay shipping costs: you may send your precious metals on my UPS account! I also accept diamonds and certain semi-precious stones. PM me for full details. FL y:D You probably know this, but Larry Norman's ...

Re: Gold Standard vs Fiat Currency
Regardless of the form, money is always dependent on its acceptance. The hyper-inflation experience in 1920s Germany and modern Zimbabwe came of government printing so many Marks or Dollars that the acceptance value of the note came close to (or became) the value of scrap paper. As Larry Norman poin...

Re: Show banned user feature has been installed
Many/Most/Virtually all discussion sites are targets for spamsters, and have mechanisms in place to screen out the spamsters before they vomit all over the public forums. The "sentry" at RepublicanOperative vets newly registered members and deletes 5-10 probable spamsters a day. Spamsters ...

Re: Show banned user feature has been installed
Thanks! While I hope EfGfS' denizens exercise restraint in gloating, I think this will be of practical value, by letting folks know that those who have met the Ban-Hammer won't be responding to those replying to their past posts.

Bill Gothard placed on administrative leave following abuse
I've very lightly adapted this from the corresponding post on RepublicanOperative. That board has news and politics as its general focus, especially from a US POV. I hope there is enough of general application in this story and my comments thereon that EfGfS's members from EuroLand and Oz find somet...

Re: Proof we are in the last days MORE EARTHQUAKES!

Re: hallucigens
Well Venusians I know say Bible writers were Uranians, but a dude from Ork told me they really were Neptunians. And I believe him.
Seriously, other than their imaginations, on what evidence do these acquaintances make their claim? Or is it just, "You can't prove me wrong, so it must be so"?

No worries Silvertusk I was referring to some others in the end times section of the site from another thread, they know who they are. They would probably be proud to call themselves the "all is well" people. They be like this guy, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDAmPIq29ro They are the 2...

Sherryl Arnett: Jesus never mentioned homosexuality at all. Look up "Red Letter Christians." A growing movement of people who adhere to Jesus teachings. His words are usually printed in "red letters" in the new testament. Rather than be side-tracked by the many divisive and red ...

Re: Act 12:4
One thing to keep in mind about some claims of pagan roots is that "Easter" is English (and possibly Germanic). Latin languages - and Christianity came to Latin-speaking regions around the Mediterranean before coming to Germanic and British lands - use a form of the Latin word for "Pa...

Re: There is no Trinity
PeteSinCA Krystyna, you can also find many/most (all?) of the writings B.W. quoted in the Christian Classics Ethereal Library. The Bible is the only classic for me. It doesn’t mention a Trinity God and I will not break God’s commandment to conform to man-made theologies. Krystyna, you posted the cl...
