Quite.

Isn't the fourth one Jim Nabors' great great great gramma?

And the final one has a rather nice mustache!

Nard, couldn't view your attachment but mean the guy to whom this group http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/An_Absolute_Treasure_John_Smith/ is dedicated.

dandelion:
Yeah! Same guy. Can't figure why you and Doug Spaulding having trouble.

I'm having the same problem. I think it might be because the image you posted has ".jpg" in it twice. (The link is called introii_pic.JPG.jpg.)

One obvious explanation is that belief lets you off being judged for what you did with this one life you were given. (Karma and Samsara are a sort of passing on of the consequences of blunders or successes - nothing like a judgement by the Creator.)

Well, since Sunday is Christmas Eve on the old calendar, may I reiterate:

Your Nativity, Oh, Christ our God,
Dawned upon the world the Light of Knowledge;
For by it those who worshipped the stars
were taught by a star
to adore You the Sun of Righteousness;
and to know You the Dayspring from on high.
Oh Lord, Glory to You!

-Troparion of the Nativity

Blessings to believers, non-believers, doubters, confused, those who think they know; in short, as Tiny Tim says,
"God bless us - every one!"

Right! And as the New Year begins, we could ALL use a Blessing...or two!

CHUCK COLSON is speaking at Saddlebnack Church today. What he has to say about modern-day Christianity is bleak. You can catch his sermon 4 times today (Sunday, Jan 6th)...by this link. Times are noted on the link page. Sometimes it takes a minute or so to begin the stream...

(For those not familiar with Colson, he worked under President Nixon, was convicted with Watergate, and went to jail. In jail Chuck Colson accepted Jesus Christ. He now has the largest Prison Ministry in the World.)

Oh Friend Henry, not the Atonement Theology again!

Praise GOD, Blind Henry. This Doug Spaulding has been taught by some heretic out there who branded his poor docile brain with junk. Perhaps a later cousin of Mr. Electrico?

Good. The definition of Heresy is: "a challenge to a prescribed system of belief, especially a religious one."

So I guess that makes me (and any thinking, questioning individual) a heretic!

Proud heretic here.
