You have to be grounded in the Word to properly understand scripture. The bible is written so that those who are not grounded in the Word will take a wrong turn before you even get started. Becoming grounded in the Word is accepting Jesus in spirit and in truth. The Bible expresses this throughout it's entirety in many different symbolic scenarios. Sort of like if I wanted to fully convey a number to someone I don't know. If I write 10, you get what I mean but someone from a different culture or time period would have no frame of reference to relate this to. Therefore I will also write llllllllll or I might even "write" this :baseball_bat: .....that's 10 fingers and also the last thing I will try to beat into your head. This thread has been great and I'm thankful to all of it's contributors. Nice meeting you rkc. :beer: I'll see you all soon in another thread....I'm shaking the dust.

Helldriver, the day that someone DIRECTLY shows you God you can be assured that it is wise to doubt. You can be equally assured that if you seek God you will find God. A humble nature towards God is the first requirement. Without that you will never know God.

Human logic + Holy Spirit = Divine logic I trust Jesus because I trust His spirit of truth and it speaks to me above all implied secret knowledge. Faith is not so much a decision based upon tangible facts as it is a direction that one looks to. Jesus saves that which is lost. Wisdom preserves that which is found.

28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. 29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. 30 As he spake these words, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 17:7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 17:25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

First make sure that you have a little free play at your clutch lever. Then look at the other end of the clutch cable and make sure your clutch arm pointer aligns with the arrow on the case. Push on it with your thumb or lightly pull on the clutch to take up the spring slack on the arm for an accurate assesment. If it is not aligned properly then loosen the lock nut and turn the adjuster screw in the center of the pressure plate to align it and then tighten the locknut. Other than that I always scuff my steels real good on a rough concrete surface on both sides and then clean them before installing. If you do all of that your clutch should last a long time.

I respectfully disagree Meat. The object of your faith must have the power to deliver what has been perceived. Jesus is not an "invisible man in the sky", he is a real man that dwells in the hearts of men and women and children all across the world. People come alive in Christ everday and in every walk of life. If you are not a child you have to humble yourself before Him and honor his sacrifice for your free spirit. Above all, know that he loves you, as do I.

Thanks Deuce. Cool pic RJ. I recognize you on point. We have Jesus as point man on our tac team and I know He will get us home. Luke10 21In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. 22All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. 23And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: 24For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 25And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbour as thyself. 28And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33But a cetain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had com0passion on him, 34And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him and whatsoever thou spendes more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36Which now of these three thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37And he said, He that shewd mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. Helldriver you are choosing to be one of the thieves who try to "strip people of their raiment" (clothing i.e Jesus) "leaving them wounded and half dead". If you would please try to stop that, then I could much more easily love you as the brother that you are.

Yep, and here he goes again with his same babble. Ripping on the Aaronic priesthood of the Levitical age. It went right over his head on the last page where the bible shows that Jesus came before and is above and seperate from the Aaronic priesthood, which only forshadowed the coming of Christ in it's rituals and history. Jesus put an end to that dark shit for a time. That is until people like hatedriver begin to rise up. Deuce has it figured out from there....

Dude, it is what it is. We are all going to die anyway and like I said, when it is your time you are going to be tripping on how fast it all passed before you. You need to make an effort to understand whats going on. Your denial doesn't change a thing. To address She-Males earlier point, all that I will say is that if this world would ever decide to start killing Christians (which is hard to imagine), I'm ready to GO because I wouldn't want to live in a world like that anyway. I'm content with my position because Jesus said that He is the way, the truth and the life and I believe that. The message speaks for itself.

Well sir, my deductive reasoning tells me that God plans to clean house at some point. You and I and others reading this have now partaken of the forbidden fruit. IMO the FREE gift of salvation promised by Jesus is the only TRUE life to be had after ingesting the forbidden knowledge of good and evil. Soon you will begin to see God's power at work in this world and you will be forced to make a decision. Good luck. Genesis 3:5 3But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; 14And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. I clothe myself with Christ. I retain my innocence in Christ and I look forward to being a child again.

Genesis 14 18And Melchizedeck king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 19And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 20And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. Psalm 110 1The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. 2The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. 3Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. 4The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. 5The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. 6He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. 7He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. Hebrews 7 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 12For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 13For he whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. 14For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. 15And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, 16Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. 17For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Helldriver, go ahead and keep ripping on the Levitical era. That is all that you are doing. If you took the time to understand how that dark period of history foreshadowed in minute detail the coming of Jesus Christ, you would then begin to understand and appreciate the reality of Jesus and what He did for us all. God's word was JUST, even in darkness. You just don't take the time or don't have the capacity to understand it. God's Word is merciful in the light.

You had me at pint of fermented goats milk. Good one. :beer:

Helldriver you are a LIAR and you know NOTHING of what you speak. If you knew the bible like you pretend (lie) you do, then you would know that my works or deeds, whatever you want to call them, are not FOR my salvation. Any works or deeds to please God that I could possibley perform come FROM my salvation. My salvation is wholly and completely in Jesus and that which is done in faith is not sin. I do still sin and I know when I do because I have a concience that tells me so. Calling you an asshole and a liar on the other hand, I do with FAITH. Get it asshole?

This is where you threw in the chips asshole. Trying to divide us by kissing their asses with compliments while singleing me out for darkness. Anybody who reads this thread and knows love, can see right through you.

Fucking amazing. It has a certain quality that I can't quite put my finger on, but I like it. Not to say that I condone a tattoo on Mike's chest because if it were artisticly rendered to exacting specification by the tat man, it would appear as if it came from a jailhouse hack with a home made gun :shrug: :beer:

Coming from you, that is very inspiring to me. I see the darkside every day asshole. I see the light too, and Thou art with me. I really don't like your selfish philosophy and I am grateful that the likes of you are boiling to the surface so that you may be skimmed off.

What happened to the yawn smiley because this guy is boring the shit out of me. I think this thread has ran it's course. Helldriver you lived up to your name and mirrored your negative image for a positive outcome in spite of your intentions. Good job.

Thanks. :beer: To bad that waste of space headgiver doesn't get it.

We had you on the ropes. Rocketboy didn't give you long enough to think about it, but I feel ya. Your starting to get it. You got a long way to go but it can be made with one easy leap.

Yeah, keep thinking it's a STORY you scared little pussy. You SHOULD be scared. The more advanced mammals have "evolved" into beings that LOVE and NURTURE. That is the MARK of your more advanced life forms. The philosophy that you have been duped into promoting is REGRESSIVE and WILL NOT STAND. Love for the life around you is more important than love for your own brief moment of pleasure and pain.

Get it right you LIEING ASSHOLE. The song says that "hell and fire was born to be the least and that satan will "posess your body and make you burn". Your father has made you believe that you can make your OWN wings and "fly on your way like an eagle", but your flying a little too close to the SON. But only God can say that for sure because the only unforgivable sin is when you choose to wage war against the Holy Spirit, which imo you are. Lucky for you I'm nobody, but I am in Christ.

Hey headgiver, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden sings this about your hero Crowley...check the Accident of Birth (solo) release: Vision of a new world from the ashes of the old "Do what thou wilt!", he screams from his CURSED soul A tortured seer, a prophet of our emptiness Wondering why, wondering why... A man of sorrows, wrecked With thoughts that dare not speak their name Trapped inside a body, made to feel only guilt and shame His anger all his life - "I hate myself!", he cried "Do what thou wilt!" "Do what thou wilt!", he cried Biographer Lawrence Sutin passes on various stories about Crowley's death and last words. Frieda Harris supposedly reported him saying, "I am perplexed," According to John Symonds, a Mr Rowe witnessed Crowley's death along with a nurse, and reported his last words as, "Sometimes I hate myself."

I think you are right Deuce. Taintdiver is a moron. Here are some dark rush lyrics for you: And the men who hold high places Must be the ones to start To mould a new reality Closer to the heart The New World man is not concerned about Jesus. Thats yesterdays news. Hes not concerned with yesterday He knows constant change is here today Hes noble enough to know whats right But WEAK enough not to choose it

I have a question for any of you web savy computer guys. Why does bansheehq exchange 3 times more cookies and run 4 times as many scripts on every page request, than say planetsand for example? Why are people experiencing everything from javascript errors to worms and viruses since we got the "new look". It always did run more scripts and cookies but now it is even worse. Has some new spyware been implimented for a profit scheme at the expense of our privacy, because if so I want to make sure I discontinue my annual premium member fee. I don't mean to be ignorant with my ignorance but can someone shed some light on this please?
