  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What's on your mind?

Its all about how you dress.

The key is to dress in 100% natural fibers and make it wool as cotton does not retain heat like wool does. Wool will retain 80% of your heat soaking wet, cotton will not do that. Cotton is for summer and wool is for winter.

Any who, back to the wool. Make sure you buy 100% wool clothing and then layer.

Get 100% merino wool base layers and make sure its the extreme cold type, try the brand Ice Breaker, they have good stuff.

Then layer in a layer of 100% wool thermal underwear and make sure its quality.

Then find a nice 100% wool outer shirt and a nice set of 100% wool pants.

Do the same with your socks. 100% wool base layer, thermal layer, and an outer layer and then some good winter boots with a thermal liner.

You are now ready to live in Canada but if you are ever going to leave your igloo you may want to dress even warmer.
until you look like this

What is this paper for?
...fun... :sorry:

Actually, two reasons. One Sunday afternoon, I listened to a friend explain a theory about the four horsemen and dropped an element of the cosmic temple theory of Genesis to him and the priestly imagery present in Ezekiel 28. He scoffed and said his ride was waiting for him. I decided the only way he'd hear me out is if I wrote it out. ^_^

The rub mentioned in the post you quoted was whether I'm arguing in favour of the Framework Hypothesis of Dr. Meredith Kline or the Functional Creation of Dr. John Walton. I'm thinking it's the Framework Hypothesis, but I'm also thinking there's an incredible amount of overlap (perhaps that the brand of Functional Creation posited by Dr. Walton is a subset of Dr. Kline's Framework hypothesis). Furthermore, it could be simply my limited understanding of both, but my impression thus far is that neither are exclusively incompatible with the theories of material creation, e.g. creation ex nihilo or ex materia.

Anyway, I've got a mountain of reading before that hill is gained, but there are too many Edenic allusions in the language surrounding the tabernacle and temple and the priestly order for me to ignore.

Second, I'm hoping one of these papers will pay off in some way in the future. :p

You are an impressive man, Hawthorne. And I am now picturing you in real life as the guy in your avatar after reading this post. A scholar hard at work. :)

Lol!!!

Or alternatively:


Guy sees girl:
:bigeye:
His friends try to convince him to go talk to her.
:hhh:
Finally he's had enough teasing and is gonna go just to spite his buddies.
:smarty:
What he thinks he looks like:
:cool1:
What he actually looks like:
:ahem:
Then he gets near her and his mind goes blank. Suddenly it's 130 degrees, and there doesn't seem to be enough oxygen.
:hot:
She makes eye contact as he approches. And he suddenly he's frozen.
:freeze:
He swallows and looks back at his buddies. They're all:
:ok:
He finally reaches the top of the mountain, and she waits for him to speak.
:mmh:
But all his nervous, exhausted brain can muster:
:waaah:
So she takes pity and makes the first move:
:hi:
His heart nearly explodes.
:happyblush::blush1::asd::flat4::ueee:
He manages a nod, then begins walking back to his buddies.
"I'm so smooth.":sohappy:

That's brilliant, and true! :D

It's a shame your friend wouldn't give you a fair hearing.
Wow, it sounds like you are writing a dissertation! Interesting...I am not familiar with either of those ideas of creation though I m pretty certain they were touched on briefly in my systematic classes. You and I have different ideas of fun. ^_^
I hope your paper pays off long term. :)

Overnighter no longer. Transferring to a different part of the store on a different shift.

I do not blame you one bit on that. Good for you! :oldthumbsup:

What's the following/friend thing on CF is about? It doesn't seem to make much of a difference?
Old feature that used to have more functionality. It's pointless now.
