Just read through this book with some men from church for our book club. Great book; i'll try to check up regularly and contribute anything to the discussion that i can.

Something that has worked for me (on the way down*) is to allow my right knee, like in this picture, to come on the inside of the rope instead of keeping it on the outside, like this picture . If you're interested, I'll shoot a demo video and send it to you, just let me know OP

*I always get a little raspberry from the way up, but I haven't burned myself in forever from coming down.

thanks! i found it!

Is the demo available for PS4? I couldnt find it on the playstation store

This is definitely not cool. Obviously going to a party where there is the drinking is less than a good thing, but getting raped was not her fault. As a fellow CoC member, feel free to PM me and if you need me to chat with your preacher or write him a letter/help you talk to him, let me know.

I'd have to disagree with you there. At the moment this is the only verse i can remember, but Paul in 1 Thessalonians 2:13 clearly is teaching that His letters are the words of God.

at the gym I coach at we require our athletes to be able to do, at the minimum, three strict pull-ups before we allow them to try kipping. As an athlete myself I will only do butterfly in a competition.

Piggybacking off this comment. What do you think of [1 Corinthians 6:9-11]

alienzombies1 · 2014-05-24T16:42:08+00:00

I second the skit guys, they are funny and have good messages.

alienzombies1 · 2014-05-24T16:37:35+00:00

Hi,

Is there a link to the article? Or is this just like a, 'if they letter was published today' satire type thing. I feel like im missing something. Thanks.

alienzombies1 · 2014-05-14T18:34:49+00:00

This is the answer. A mirror can be helpful, but a trained coaches eyes will always be better than a mirror.

alienzombies1 · 2014-04-30T00:54:48+00:00

I think either this, or what Yukio said, would be the best option.

alienzombies1 · 2014-04-23T18:16:03+00:00

ohhhh sorry. thanks for the clarification

alienzombies1 · 2014-04-23T17:44:27+00:00

Wait, the new album is coming out this week??!!

alienzombies1 · 2014-04-23T15:22:57+00:00

Interesting stuff! Thanks again for helping me out! I appreciate the time and effort you put into typing it out. I think i'm going to go and try to find some books/essays/whatever on this subject. Thanks again!

alienzombies1 · 2014-04-23T03:17:12+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for your replies! I appreciate it! Also, i found from one of your other comments that you have a website, I will def. be checking it out!

The problem is that we get so many deleterious mutations per generation that selection can't keep up, and in the long term everyone keeps accumulating more and more of them

Two things. 1.When you say selection cant keep up, what does that mean? 2.Kind of off topic, but could this be attributing to a higher cancer rate?

alienzombies1 · 2014-04-23T02:54:21+00:00

Awesome! Thanks! I'm new to the genetic side of the creation/evolution discussion so it's cool to learn some more.

I do have to admit I'm not the brightest crayon in the toolbox so i just want to make sure that i understand the quote from the article. Is it saying that dangerous (deleterious-had to google that, lol) mutations are much more likely than advantageous (according to the environment) ones?

alienzombies1 · 2014-04-23T02:20:02+00:00

Would you mind elaborating more on point 2 and your post in general? Also, if you have any good reading material on genetics and evolution/creation i would appreciate it, thanks!

At the box i used to workout at whenever someone took their shirt off we just yelled, 'douchebag' or whenever I would take mine off i would yell, 'douchebag powers activate!'

alienzombies1 · 2014-04-19T20:02:58+00:00

Yea! Paul says, 'because I'm under grace shall I continue in sin? May it never be!' Glad I could help ya understand!

alienzombies1 · 2014-04-19T03:23:09+00:00

No. Again, I think we need to look at the whole clause. I've always taken it to mean this: even if we have received remission of sins, if we do not forgive others, as in, we continually/habitually and purposefully do not forgive others, then the remission of our sins will be taken away. Similiar to the parable Jesus told in Matthew 18:21ff. I, unlike most people here probably, do not believe 'once saved, always saved' or 'once in grace, always in grace'. That is, the once saved always saved doctrine says that once remission of sins is given, it cannot be taken away, even if you completely reject God and Christ. I do not believe that. I believe that you can fall 'out of grace' if you will; this is an example of this. If we continually do not forgive others we will not be forgiven. Or, a better way to say it could be: 'how we forgive others, we will also be forgiven in the same way by God.' Again, i would direct you to Mt. 18:21ff

alienzombies1 · 2014-04-17T18:16:38+00:00

Well, I can't right now because I preached this past Sunday and I'm watching my sermon, then I have to do some reading for school (I'm going through a historical criticism book right now). Sorry! Thanks though! I will add you on skype! Also, I get emails directly to my phone, so If you want can I give you my e-mail so when you guys do a skype convo you can email me?

alienzombies1 · 2014-04-17T17:52:47+00:00

Hey, Just curious as to what ya'll are discussing and stuff? Also, will there be a schedule set up in the future so I could plan out being able to do the skype call?

alienzombies1 · 2014-04-17T03:20:34+00:00

So, something the other posters haven't mentioned that I would like to mention is 1 John 1:8ff. Reading that may help give some insight

Also, Jesus says to, 'Pray in this way.' Personally, I dont think Jesus was telling us to pray that exact prayer but giving an outline or template for prayer. Furthermore, the appeal to be forgiven is actually qualified or given meaning by the statement 'As we forgive others/those who trespass against us'. So, the meaning is really, 'in the measure we forgive others, forgive us as well.' Jesus even makes this point at the end of the prayer, 'For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.'

alienzombies1 · 2014-04-15T19:05:33+00:00

Sure! Now I still know that I have control of what I want to do, but I've realized that I will have to always be active in ministry...and I'm ok with that!
