Two different climate conditions, two different environmental systems with weather phenomenon that never existed in the first condition. We are responsible for this planet and we are ruining it with fossile fuels. There is nothing wrong with being alarmed with global warming. God’s sovereignty does not excuse man to abuse the command to subdue our planet and to pollute it further causing an imbalance to it. You guys claim that global warming is a hoax its all political. Global warming, mini-ice age, climate change, its all a distraction. Fossil fuels aren't ruining anything. I do find it amusing how many people fly and drive all over to protest fossil fuels, pipelines, etc. Doing their part I guess to burn up as many fossil fuels as possible. Pollution, yes, that is, and should, be dealt with. No acid rain in the news anymore. Only smog I read about is in China now, not the U.S. We have a sin problem, which will soon be taken care of, long before substantial CO2 change or climate issues. My question for those who are worried about fossil fuels, is what are you doing for heat, transportation, and all the so-called necessities in life we buy now, that are manufactured, and transported using fossil fuels? Anybody living off the land, with no heat, no camp fires (studies have shown harmful effects just from cooking food above firewood, in addition to the smoke inhalation) What is it going to look like if 8 billion people all try to live off the land with no fossil fuels? I've never heard a protesters answer to this, have they thought about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, getting back to the topic, thank you for these diagrams. I've often thought that I would LOVE a diagrammed Bible, in which EVERY English sentence of Scripture was so diagrammed. The problem is, however, that I would like to see such a thing for the original languages rather than English, too. We are still at the whim of the translator. Have you encountered such a work in any of the languages? I still believe that you are on the right track, though! We NEED such things to better understand what the authors meant when they wrote what they wrote and to understand what the Author meant through the writings of those authors. Regarding the usage of the NKJV, I find it ironic that ONE "improvement" that it made over the KJV was to lose the CASE and NUMBER of the second person!

In the English of 1611, the "thee's" and "thou's" had their place, but in the English of the late 20th Century adopted for the NKJV, they chose to drop the "thee's" and "thou's." The chart is something like this: Quote SECOND PERSON I. Singular A. Subjective - "thou" B. Objective - "thee" C. Possessive 1. Pronoun - "thine" 2. Adjective - "thy" II. Plural A. Subjective - "ye" B. Objective - "you" C. Possessive 1. Pronoun - "yours" 2. Adjective - "your" In modern English, we have reduced all this to just... Quote SECOND PERSON I. Singular and Plural A. Subjective and Objective - "you" B. Possessive 1. Pronoun - "yours" 2. Adjective - "your" Thus, we have lost the CASE (subjective and objective differences) and NUMBER (singular and plural differences) information in the second person. That's all I was saying.

And those remarks made it apparent you'd not realized the member you were confronting had merely shared an article someone else wrote. Which you apparently did not read or you would have noted the author credit at its end. Further, and finally, your critique of Hermanuetics and how it relates in any wise to doctrine demonstrated you are unaware that the two are related. I'd recommend you do not get mad at what you do not know. Rather, take the time and demonstrate the patience to learn what may enrich your journey with our Lord. God bless.

Okay, but just for the record, I don't believe in a static, "they lived happily ever after," existence in the Eternal State. I believe in a DYNAMIC eternal God; therefore, I believe in a DYNAMIC eternity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
