  well one thing is it doesn't have rebar which can rust over long periods of time and crack the concrete. was it partly the engineering in arches and

  no rebar more than the concrete mix itself?

  ADCMS: Surely you're correct 2 million people could not live in the wilderness. But there wasn't. At one time there could have been 500k Israelites in Egypt total and that is when Pharoah started killing the firstborns. The registry included dead ancestors. Abraham was gathered to his peoples after he was dead. It is possible that this is translated poorly by someone who thought they knew what the bible was saying. So it was probably alot less around 100k. In numbers Moses took a census of LIVING firstborns and only had 22k so there you go. Numbers 3:40-43.

  Is not Judicial Committees directly against Matthew 7?

  by runForever in

  2. beliefs

  i was just doing a little research in this where it says "do not be judging.

  " in matthew.. it looks like the connotation here is not judging if someone is doing right or wrong but judging the person themselves in a certain way.. such as reviewing all their actions and nitpicking them down.

  reducing people down to what they do and then pronouncing a judgement upon them.. over and over again.. .

  GETTING THINGS STRAIGHT. Who invented the "FDS" as a prophetic identification of the GB? WHEN?

  by Terry in

  15 july 1906 issue of the watch tower russell stated maria russell was the first who in 1894 "called attention to matt.

  24:44-45, applying it to me at a meeting at allegheny and in another meeting with the new york church.

  i demurred that i had not thought of the passage thus, and declined to make any personal application of it, although i could not deny the force of the argument....i urged great moderation in the making of any personal application" (p. r3811).
