  i have been research the topic of how christ died and have read many articles (most interesting of them was at the url http://www.freeminds.org/doctrine/cross.htm) which indicate that he died on a cross, so i contacted the wt and they told me to look at vine's expository dictionary of new testament words, and this is what i found.

  topic: cross, crucify

  <a-1,noun,4716,stauros> .

  Gumby, I'm curious, do know what word Josephus actually used since cross would be it's English translation.

  We're all Americans....Reparations?

  reparations.

  this country was barely populated when slaves were brought from africa.

  are you going to hunt down every descendant of slaves, many of whom took on the names of their owners families and have thousands upon thousands of descendants?

  I ifnd it bizarre for a Canadian to teach an American about their own history. Country Girl, the American Civil War was not started over the issue of equality of man. Rather the civil war began over the issue of individual state rights. The Emancipation Proclamation wasn't written until well after the start of the war.

  As far as the issue of reparations go, I agree with your conclusions but not your reasoning.

  Drug War Blaspheme

  i would appreciate getting opinions on the scriptural status of drug prohibition.

  is there any evidence that the early christians had any prohibitions against using drug plants?

  Your first premise that to ban drugs is to blaspheme, is utterly preposterous. According to the bible, God (or whatever you want to call him/her) is the creater of ALL THINGS. Therefore he/she is also the creator of evil. If this is blasphemous, blame your bible not me.

  Whats the best anti-war film?

  .

  just watched the "thin red line" last night, a very artisticaly shot film with great music, that shows the mental aguish suffered by soldiers in war.the contrast between the peace and beaty of the island and its people and the war being fought makes you wonder what war is all about.. it makes me wish that people would sit down and think about what they are actually doing when they talk of sending people to kill for their country..

  Been and done alot of different jobs.

  At present I'm the only university educated roofer/shingler I know. I love the job, I love the risks involved... no pressure, no stress... I love high places; I also take pride in being one of the best in my neck of the woods at what I do. The best part is I get 3 months off every winter.
