Town Heretic

I've been off my game for years TH. If I manage to hit a ball back these days it's because I've been in the vicinity for it to hit a goal...

Okay, I didn't mean to sound patronizing or anything which is how my last might have come across so sorry for that if so. I just found it a surprisingly good film overall and with an equally surprisingly good performance from Johnson who I'd only known as either 'the people's' or the 'corporate elbow' depending on how the soap opera of the wrestling federation would have him typed...It ain't a flawless film by any stretch but one worth seeing IMO...:e4e:

He's not funny in 'Faster' at all, and I highly recommend you watch it as it has a surprising amount of depth to it including belief. It certainly surprised me when I first saw it...

Have you seen 'Faster' with 'The Rock' in it? A surprisingly good film I thought and Johnson's performance was more than up to scratch considering.

True enough. I could regale you with an embarrassing experience in a Northern biker bar from years back where there was no actual bet on the thing anyway and as such I'm deciding not to...

Hmm, sounds like a load of bollards to me...

:chuckle:

You hadn't but I so hope that's a true story...

:cheers:

Well, that was enough to make me crack open a can of extra strong lager...

Hello Dearie, I gave a warning in a post quite a while ago that Knight might find that he is backing the wrong horses. It has come true. The forum is not the same.

Good morning my friend, It hurts me that you are, again, the subject of a relentless attacker. Perhaps "Ignore" is the only option available under these kinds of circumstances.

I honestly don't know anymore, Brother. I'll be praying for your wife's friend.

What is the understanding of God that transcends our particular thoughts and experiences? And you can say that Christianity is a simple faith with a simple narrative, but I don't really think that's what Christianity has been for 2000 years. :idunno: What exactly do you think Christ accomplished?

:e4e:

I have absolutely no idea why anything about me stands out if indeed anything does.
Thank you for the rep.

Good morning, I'm sure that you and your wife are aware of this but I'll throw it out anyway: Mold in hidden places can be devastating to young lungs. Chlorox spray cleaner is a Godsend for me.

I think calling the rest commentary is a pretty risky thing to say, in light of the history of Christianity. If what you mean by that is that doctrine isn't what saves you then ok, I don't get too caught up in doctrine saving or damning people, but I don't think I'd call the rest commentary. I'm also unsure of what you think the lesson is. Nor do I understand what you mean by the 2nd comment. What do we apprehend about the applied nature of God?

:e4e:

Hello my friend, when someone presents him/herself in a shotgun pattern one has no basis for reference in dealing with him/her. I grant much leeway for youth. However, when the youth is highly educated yet blindered in his prejudices I see no point to continuing dialogue.

Well, I'd say that certain beliefs in Christianity are more important than others. For instance, the resurrection. And I can agree that our faith and trust must allow for some flexibility in some areas, but my question would be what all you include in the 'particulars'. In Rob Bell's Velvet Elvis he talked about not having a faith that is like a brick wall where if one belief gets removed the whole wall comes crumbling down. I kind of liked that idea, but at the same time Christianity loses itself if it doesn't retain certain things so the questions become what are those things, what does Christianity say about God, how do those things relate to our trust in God/what grounds our trust in God, and how one goes about determining the truth of those things.

It's more the béchamel sauce for me...too little and with insufficient cheese infusion then forget it. I'll order a pizza instead, which on occasion has come with béchamel sauce and then I just give up...lain:
