may i suggest friend, smaller bites, of information? also, IMHO their will always be those who can't or won't see the forest for the trees. The true meaning of the Spirit of the entire text, in whole, including the Old and New Testament, because the meaning is not found in the primarily in language, translation, version but in the love of God., speaking from His heart to ours.

Just a side thought...Genesis 1:1 contains all 22 characters of the ancient Hebrew....each character is also represented as a number and thus this opening statement contains the potential for all words ever spoken and all numbers (thus all expressed thoughts and all possible mathematical equations exist in potentia Bereshith)....

Think on that...is it not fitting?

That is a wonderful detail! Thank you for providing it!

Hi everyone--- I'm new to Christian Forums and new to this thread but am happy to join as this topic is exceedingly fascinating. Vicomte13 and I were roommates "back in the day," and a sharper mind you will not find!

This still active? I had a baby and it turned into a two week event, so I haven't been keeping up

Congratulations! Boy or Girl? Was just discussing with @Vicomte13 about returning to this thread. He said he would shortly.

Again congratulations. I hope you are on the mend and enjoying motherhood. :)

Little girl! We both had some problems, but we're finally in the clear. She's very tiny but healthy. And I'm ready to get back into my old routines!

Would love to keep this thread going when he has the time. I really enjoyed what he had to say.

Congratulations on the baby girl. Girls are the best.

I'll come back and post more soon.

Girls are indeed special. I have two girls who I refer to as Princess 1 and Princess 2 based on their ages. They have an older brother, my son, a close look alike to me.

My oldest daughter is 21 now and the youngest girl will be 18 in two months. Where did all the years go? I still think of them dancing on my shoetops to Saturday morning music sessions but it won't be too many years longer and I'll be walking them down the aisle, which makes me sad to think about. Although I'm hoping there is some truth to the old saying, "A son is your son until he takes a wife, but a daughter is your daughter for the rest of your life."

To quote John Mayer:

"Fathers be good to your daughters,
Daughters will love like you do.
Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers.
So mothers be good to your daughters too."

All boys here. Two boys 11 and 16. My poor wife....:) Although boys do take care of their moms when they are elderly. Well most do, or some at least.

I'm still watching! Can't believe my daughter is a month old already. I have more time to be on here now
I know I need to return to this. Haven't forgotten. Just have to get up the energy to do it. Perhaps next full moon will be best.

That's when you get the wild gleam in your eye, your teeth and nails grow rapidly longer, you desperately and suddenly need a haircut, shave, and, well... body hair trimming, but your reasoning gets sharp, precise and deadly?

I would like to. He is fascinating to listen to / read, isn't he?

But sadly, I can't make Steve do anything. Nobody can make Steve do anything. Steve can't even make himself do some things! ;-) He marches to the beat of a different drum as the saying goes.

But there's nobody better for late night "bull sessions," where all us young philosophers would tackle the world and we knew just what needed to be done. Unfortunately the years fly by like minutes and we're left with "sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground" [James Taylor].
****************
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand.
You've just got to see me through another day.
My body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way.
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.
