option 2: the bible is all made up.
it explains a lot - admit it.
dr. margaret barkers new book, the great angel: a study of israels second god, argues conclusively that yahweh, the god of israel, was not the father of jesus, but jesus christ himself.
furthermore, the belief that jehovah was gods (elyons) first son a tradition that went far back into israelite history.
it not only was known to the ancient prophets, but to the early christians and even the gnostics.

so as not to hijack another thread, just a few comments on why we (americans) find that soccer is generally a boring game to watch.. 1. lack of scoring: american football adjusts the rules periodically so that each team averages around 3 touchdowns per game.
basketball added the three-point line to encourage more scoring.
even traditional baseball has tweaked the rules to encourage more scoring.
you don't really "get" football. It's a much older game than your american football so most people don't want loads of technology introduced like very accurate clocks, video replays, coaches with huge motorola headsets etc. The fact that decisions are made my an error-prone human makes the game on the whole more interesting as you get controversies etc. Making it all robotic would just rob the game of the 'romance'.
offside is essential, again if you understood the game you would see why it's needed.
it's not all about scoring loads, I have seen 7-0 games that are boring (its not that interesting ot see a ball go in a net) and some 0-0 amazing games. the joy of football is watching the off the ball movements, team play, last ditch defending, great saves, great shots etc. The fact goals are so hard to get makes them mean so much more when someone scores.
to simplify it all to points is pretty shallow imho, it's like you are only looking at 10% of the game?
and look at basketball? really high scores, very frequent scoring, and most of the world is bored to tears by it.
apparently people ( like me) from the home counties of england don't have an accent, its just english...?.
for the record i would say my accent is rather like kira knightly.
I disagree with the statement that 'everyone has an accent'. There are some folks that do not really have 'accents'. Listen to the evening news folks. Very rarely do they have accents that are discernable.
Thats ridiculous, if i listen to a USA newsreader they have an american accent to me, if you listened to a UK newsreader they would sound like they had an english accent.
Everyone has an accent.
up to now, i haven't openly shown some of the things i've been researching.
this one is burning in me, i can't contain it.
i've tried seeing if online i can find anything about it, but can't.
I know you love these deep meanings :) But don't get lost in scriptures, and then lose Christ and His message along the way.
= don't worry that the bible makes no sense and is full of contradictions and obvious amends, just ignore that and have blind faith anyway in something based on the same book.
i'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.
i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.
i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.
hair too long
hair coloured
hair too fashionable
stubble
beard
having a 2 seater sports car
not wearing a jacket at the book study (the house had the central heating on all day, even in summer and with 15 people in there was roasting)
wearing an orange tie
correcting an MS (IQ < 100) who couldn't read a rota on whose turn it was to do the microphones
not doing enough hours in FS because I refused to spent 5 hours a month wasting time by walking instead of driving to places etc.
just like the parlor game - you read what the person before you has written, attempt to repeat it as precisely as possible without looking at it more than once.. don't look at any previous posters' postings.
as you look now, you should only be able to see this panel, so scroll to the bottom of the latest page, read once and post.
let's see how this turns out.
at the expense of not being politically correct, the statesman tramped on native americans and buffalo alike. He trampled on them like elephants.
whoohoo!
werewolves and stuff!.

ronaldo was amazing last season
its horrible, really kills any atmosphere, I've been watching on mute, which also sucks - real real shame, we only get the world cup every 4 years and its being completely ruined.
in a game the other day someone was booked for playing on after being offside, how did he hear the 120 decibel whistle over the 140 decibel buzzing though? ridiculous. Football is a team game that requires the players communicate with each other, how can they with all the noise? :(
