they revised it - back to Orlando - at 5 pm http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ftp/graphics/AT06/...IF/312038W5.gif

The Apocrypha claims that Jeremiah hid it in a cave at Mt Nebo where it would be hidden till God reveals it. I saw a video that had a Jewish Rabbi claiming they saw it the catacombs under Jerusalem but that Muslims stopped them from retriving it. It's a never ending mystery though, great topic.

Being in Orlando, I've been watching this too, the latest tracking from the NOAA puts the storm further north (near Jacksonville) but we all know Charley hit further south than predicted. I'm praying this thing ends up blown out into the Atlantic where it can't hurt any of us. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ftp/graphics/AT06/...IF/311628W5.gif Thats a link to the 11 am chart as of Tuesday.

To me - these two passages hit home when I first read the Bible as having to be from God. They aren't so much miracles or signs, but their content is unlike anything most men would ever profess. Matthew 5 38 "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' {Exodus 21:24; Leviticus 24:20; Deuteronomy 19:21} 39 But I tell you, don't resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. ....and.... 43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' {Leviticus 19:18} 44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? 47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

I am not a trinitarian, although I can see and concieve the possibility of the trinity existing. I just want to note that no one in the New Testament was clear on Trinity (1 John 5:7-8 is suspect at best as a probably addition), and it didn't become a requirement to believe in the Trinity till the Catholic church deemed it so because of Arius trying to deny Jesus His full glory. The Catholic Church didn't rely on scripture, such as the content of Paul's letter: Colossians 1 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. To me - they answered a false assertion with a false answer. In saying this, understand I don't hold any grudges against trinitarians, nor do I think lesser of them, it's just how He has me believing. I think its more important we keep our eyes on Jesus, and let the arguments fall to the way side. God Bless! :il:

I'm new here, and just looking to chat, but is it a requirement that someone profess the Trinity to be a member? My faith lies in Jesus Christ, and in the interest of peace, I'll not express my opinion on Trinity here, but I do not want to accidently offend anyone with ideals that another might deem false in other posts. God bless you all, I hope this is a place that I can fellowship through regardless of theology.
