  1. That's interesting. They've spent $100 million on this with another $50 million committed. Which sounds like a lot. But with his net worth being $150 B that amounts to .08% of his net worth. Which is like a millionaire spending $800.
  2. The very first "Christians" were born Jewish and preached Jesus to the peril of their physical lives. The next generation of Christians, one degree removed from Christ Himself, were born worshippers of Zeus, Jupiter, an Unknown God, and multitudes of tribal gods and goddesses. This generation converted in the face of overwhelming persecution and continued in the faith, somehow winning converts. In the past 50 years, China is the country with the largest number of Christian converts - the overwhelming majority of them coming from a Buddhist family. Since 2000, Iran is in the top three countries (if not number one) of new Christian converts despite it being illegal to convert Muslims or to own a Bible at the pain of death.
  3. Is there any entity able to bring criminal charges against the AG?
  4. Can the AG be sued? Is she beyond legal reach?
  5. You're not getting more than 5 miles per hour on a 110v. Closer to 3. It'd take you a a full day to trickle charge that from 50% to 100% capacity.
  6. I was disagreeing with the bolded part. There was a point in every Christian's life where they hadn't yet submitted their life to Jesus. Many of us were changed by what we read or what someone told to us from the Bible. I believe scripture is living and powerful and convicts as Hebrews states. If one's heart isn't in a place to accept the message, he won't. To borrow the quantum physics metaphor, God controls the heart but every person makes the decision.
  7. My reading comprehension's not great even on my best day but I don't think we're talking about the same thing. I don't think anyone in here is calling other people hypocrites - I'm certainly not trying to imply that. My point is that good works, no matter how many one performs, are never enough to satisfy the standard of perfection that we fall short of. And, that someone who professes faith in the Lord without the proof of good works fails the litmus test given to us by Jesus. I didn't envision this turning into an AME but here's what Paul has to say about that in Romans 4.
  8. And yet every Christian, before he was one, wasn't.
  9. Christ Himself defined the division line of true faith vs unrepentance and commissioned His believers to spread the good news of salvation. Part of that commission is preaching what is saving faith, which fortunately Scripture provides many examples for and against.
  10. 150 miles in a perfectly controlled environment. A reasonable assumption is 80% of that when you factor in load (and does it have cooling/heating?)
  11. It's not an exciting pick but I don't hate it. Fans always complain when guards are drafted with a team's first two picks.
  12. I'd consider this for a 16 year old if it had AC and another 100 miles on the battery at this price point.
  13. Oh but throughout the Bible (and Jesus Himself) the point is made over and over again that not only is faith without the proof of work dead, but that works without faith is also death. Jesus doesn't treat it as academic. It's foundational to salvation. Since the garden it's always been a matter of the heart.
  14. I was out on Leody last season when he dropped that can of corn against... Detroit? But this error was worse than that.
