Now any questions ?????
Yes. How can you claim to be an expert and yet never have heard of Strong's Concordance? That's like saying you are an expert on culinary arts and have never heard of Julia Child or have never heard of espagnole.

Who is the "True God of the Bible" ?
by Phizzy ini decided to ask this on the back of "lost"'s thread about yhvh etc.. quite often on here we get bible believers trying to tie the whole mess that is the bible together, and maintaining that it tells us about just one "true" god.. who is this "true" god, and what is the proof that he is true ?.
was he the god of abraham and melchizedech ?.
the god of the ordinary jew before the babylonian exile ?.

This seems to be a bit all over the place. Is the idea to simply be nice? If so, that's not a bad idea, usually. Is the idea to NOT challenge people or debate things if it makes someone uncormfortable? If so, that's not going to happen.

Are we all missing the true 'MARK' of the Wild Beast?
by Newly Enlightened indisclaimer: hubby & i have been watching a 5 dvd documentary on the 'secret's of the founding father's' we're not sure if we believe everything they talk about but here is some interesting things to think about..... revelation mentions that the 'mark' would either be on the forehead, [for everyone to see] or, on the right hand [if you make a fist, it is hidden] rev also says that no one can buy or sell without this mark.
the wtbt$ isn't too clear on what they believe that mark is, so.... what is one thing that we cannot buy or sell without?.
money!.

On my way into work today,,,,,
by Jomavrick ini was listening to some southern radio preacher giving his sermon.
he was talking about the need to sell out to god and not just say that you love god but prove it.
he then said something that made me laugh - he said " a wife doesn't prove that she loves her husband in the parlor, she proves her love for him in the kitchen".. now i find that hilarious for a couple reasons, what do you ladie's and gents think??

So you know of no way to tell the difference between demons and schizophrenia, yet you also claim doctors can't tell the difference only because they weren't trained to do so, yet you believe some cases are misdiagnosed because there no test, yet claim for a certainty that demons can cause the same symptoms as mental disorders?
Do you realize how incredibly inconsistent and lacking both critical and logical thinking your position is?

When people cross the line and their behavior gets them in trouble with society. Jesus is one of the tools society uses.
OK. So some people use Jesus to feel better, others have no need of him.
Anyway, what objective diagnosis could a doctor that believes in demons use to differentiate between demons and schizophrenia.

EP, this is just a communication problem, I know you're no fool.
My opening premise was not "if x = 0.999" but "if x = 0.999 . . .", note the ellipsis which denotes a recurring decimal.
Thanks for the compliment, I know you aren't either. However, having said that....
I know what the ellipses denote, but you are talking about two different things. First, the infinity part is talking about math, the relationships between numbers, theories, proofs, sets of numbers and how they interoperate. The second is simple arithmetic.
In the arithmetic portion, the example starts with the idea of infinity with "x = 0.999..." but then switch to a finite set to do the actual arithmetic. In the example, they arbitrarily add an extra order or magnitude into the 10x portion but do NOT in the x portion. It's not valid to switch orders of magnitude. To remain consistent (a hallmark of good arithmetic) it would look more like this:
x = 0.999..... < consistent to 3 decimal places
10x-x = y
10*0.999... - 0.999... = y < consistent to 3 decimal places
9.99.... - 0.999 = y < consistent to 3 decimal places
The problem in the example is that they are NOT consistent to the same decimal places. If you say decimal places do not matter, then it's just as valid to do the arithmetic like this:
x = 0.999
10x - x = y
10*0.99999999 - 0.9 = y
Having said that, due to the real number system that we use that allows for infinities of numbers. It is absolutely true that it is a interestiing curiosity of our number system, but in practical terms or in calculable terms of physics or arithmetics, they are NOT equal.
And that's way more math than I thought I would talk about today.

I'm surprised that none of you commented on the paranormal videos, which contain very interesting footage and appear to indicate the existence of the spirit world.
What in the video indicates a spirit world?
It's a great place to diss on the WTBTS and keep up with their insanity but try a decent discussion on these type topics and you get every skeptic in town trying to discredit you for no reason other than they have nothing better to do .
First of all, your insults are lame and pathetic. Secondly, a decent discussion is being had. If you claim something, it is up to YOU to present convincing evidence. A discussion has nothing to do with accepting ridiculous claims with no evidence.

Nicolau, if x = 0.999, 10x does NOT = 9.999, it's 9.99
