lucky bastard
This guy seems to have low self-esteem, otherwise he wouldn't do this anal thing. It looks unappealing. It is a sign of gay dominance, suppressing others. The source of AIDS, if people feel humiliated. The females shouldn't try to be so submissive in an orgy. Pleasure each other. The man will always find a willing hole somewhere. He does not need to be alway

The Massachusetts Port Authority said the Conley Terminal will be upgraded with an additional berth and three new cranes, while the Boston Harbor will be dredged to accommodate 12,000-TEU vessels.
The South Korean carrier said certain providers have been charging its customers more than what it would have charged to transport cargo and has tried to intervene, taking its concern up with the Federal Maritime Commission.
The Water Resources Development Act has mostly received bipartisan support, but Democrats in the House are upset that a provision that would have protected Harbor Maintenance Tax receipts from being diverted for other uses was removed from the final draft.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The German ocean carrier said the 20 percent year-over-year drop in revenues to $2.1 billion for the quarter reflected subdued economic growth in many parts of the world, tough competition in the liner shipping industry and falling freight rates.
The now insolvent South Korean ocean carrier released a status update Monday on the 97 vessels it operates, which illustrated that 59 of these vessels are still waiting in open sea.
A spokesperson from Hanjin told American Shipper Monday that 28 of the ships it operates have completed cargo unloading.

Is Matt Hughes really a pansy?
OK.... i'm not a big Matt Hughes fan.... in fact, i loved watching GSP kick his ass......
In my opinion, he isn't a pansy... but he just acts like an idiot sometimes.
P.s. i just wrote this to stir up something... its smacktalk after all.... flame suit ON
Most of the time he acts like a total ass.
I doubt he is a *****. Probably more of a jackass than anything.
he is abit of a jock but i watched ufc access all areas with rachelle leah mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........sorry was just picturing something, anyway he seemed pretty cool on that.
he is two faced. I do not like him and enjoy seeing him lose.
I think he's a dumb hick and I loved watching him get his ass kicked.
I cant wait to see it again :)
there have been two instances in his entire career when i actually respected matt hughes...
1) coming back against trigg after the low blow
2) when he legitimately coached rashad on tuf despite not really liking him.
the rest of the time he can suck my right nut :)
Great avatar anton.
He just thinks he is the greatest. He was one of the biggest "padded" fighters of all time and he is finally getting his A@# kicked. If bj hadn't broke a rib he would've owned him. I hate hughes.
You can call Matt anything but i will stick up for him when someone calls him a pansy.

What began as a promising college football season for South Carolina and Clemson ended with both programs ranked in the Associated Press top 10 for the first time. The Gamecocks in a poll released Tuesday morning are No. 4, the highest finish in school history. Clemson is No. 8.
The rest of the top 10 starts with No. 1 Florida State, No. 2 Auburn and No. 3 Michigan State. After South Carolina, Missouri is No. 5, Oklahoma No. 6 and Alabama No. 7.
Behind Clemson, No. 9 Oregon and No. 10 Central Florida round out the top 10.
South Carolina has finished in the AP top 10 only three times - but each of the last three seasons with back-to-back-to-back 11-2 records under head coach Steve Spurrier (No. 9 in 2011, No. 8 in 2012). The Gamecocks closed with a 34-24 victory over Wisconsin in the Capital One Bowl.
Clemson (11-2) won the Orange Bowl, defeating Ohio State, 40-35. The Tigers have finished in the top 10 five times previously: No. 6 in 1978, No. 1 as national champions in 1981, No. 8 in 1982, No. 9 in 1988 and No. 9 in 1990.
South Carolina this season defeated three top 10 teams - No. 5 Missouri, No. 8 Clemson and No. 10 Central Florida.

Chapter 2Our Complications
In horology, a complication refers to any feature in a timepiece beyond the simple display of hours, minutes, and seconds. At Ademars Piguet we have spent over 137 years mastering these unique creations from design through production.
Theme 4
Time Interval
One-fifth of a second accuracy takes years to master. It is to this day one of the most sophisticated complications in the watchmaking mechanism and one of the hardest to perfect. Several construction types have been developed, but the most prestigious and spectacular one is the column-wheel chronograph.
The column wheel is a strategic component that pilots chronograph starting, stopping and resetting operations, and does so with a minimum force to avoid wear.
An Audemars Piguet First
1858 A pocket chronograph with jumping-seconds hand is handmade by Louis Audemars.

New Zealand Lotto
The New Zealand Lotto was launched in July 1987 and is run by the New Zealand Lottery. The inaugural draw took place on the 1st August 1987 with a jackpot of NZ$359,808. Today, the draw is held twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday evenings, and has a guaranteed first division prize of NZ$1 million in every draw.
New Zealand Lotto Draw Schedule
New Zealand Lotto draws are broadcast live on TV and are held on Saturday nights at 8pm NZST and on Wednesday nights at approximately 8.20pm NZST. The latest results are always available to view online shortly after the draw has taken place, with a full prize breakdown found on the New Zealand Lotto Results page.
The main New Zealand numbers are all drawn from a single drum which contains numbered balls ranging from 1 to 40. Six main numbers are chosen at random first and players will be required to match all of them to win the jackpot. One further number will be drawn from the remaining pool of 34, which is the Bonus Ball.
How to Play New Zealand Lotto
Players purchase a minimum of four lines and pick six numbers from 1 to 40 and must match all of them in order to win New Zealand Lotto's First Division prize of at least NZ$1 million. A Bonus Ball is drawn after the six main numbers and increases the value of any prizes won if matched with three, four or five main numbers.
New Zealand Lotto also features two add-on games for an additional fee - Strike! and Powerball. Strike! requires players to match the first four balls drawn in New Zealand Lotto in the correct order whilst Powerball allows you to match a special ball in addition to those in the main Lotto game with the opportunity to win prizes stretching into eight figures. Players must also play the main New Zealand Lotto game in order to enter either add-on game.

Pros: price, works well, quite reliable, also doubled the ram in my PC for a mere $30. works straight out of the box what more can you ask for?
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I notice that the memory is reported as running at 1333 instead of 1600. If so, you need to correct the BIOS settings for the memory. On an ASUS board got to chance RAM profile from AUTO XMP or other memory profile your board might have to correct this.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: This memory card fast enough to keep up with your advanced DSLR. It wont "choke" while taking sequenced bursts shots. it allows awesome HD video without buffer issues. It's one amazing SD card.
Cons: none.. you will regret not buying one of these.
Other Thoughts: I have tried some Class 6 and Class 10 from other manufacturers with my Canon Rebel T3 (1100D). This SD card ended being the best choice for my camera. Since day one i had no issues or missing out on a precious moment. With the increased transfer speed you will have no problems moving files from and to your mac or PC.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you don't see your question listed among our FAQs below, please submit your question here through our online form. We will respond as soon as possible.
No, the teacher licensure program is not a major program at CU Boulder. It is a program that you can apply for and participate in, in addition to your current major at CU Boulder. The licensure program will include 37-42 Education credits in addition to your current major at CU Boulder.
You cannot transfer directly to the teacher licensure program at CU Boulder. You must first apply to CU Boulder and choose a baccalaureate program and major. If you are accepted to CU Boulder, you may then apply to the undergraduate teacher licensure program and possibly start the licensure program the second semester you attend CU.
First, the fingerprints must have been done in the state of Colorado. Second, they must be part of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation's database. Not all schools use the CBI for background checks. Some use private companies. So you may have to submit fingerprints again. In order to find out if you are part of the CBI database, refer to the Fingerprinting Policy Instructions above.
Youth experience does not need to be in a classroom. The two important criteria are that the work is done in a leadership capacity (not just as an observer) and that it is within the proper age group. Therefore, many opportunities are available. You can coach a sport, be a camp counselor, tutor one or more students, lead a pack on an outdoor trek, etc.
Your youth experience hours can be "in progress" or, if you haven't started them yet, you can submit a letter of intent describing what your plans are for completing the youth experience hours. They must be finished by the date of the orientation for the School of Education, so generally you have several months after submitting your application for those hours to be completed.
Tuition and fee rates change frequently. Please refer to the Bursar's website; the Bill Estimator tool will help you calculate the cost of the program. Undergraduate and Post-BA candidates are assessed tuition and fees at the undergraduate level for the College of Arts & Sciences. Tuition and fees for the Master's Plus Licensure program will be assessed at the graduate level for the College of Arts & Sciences.

I wanted to kick this up so I added 1 Jalapeno minced, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed that I toasted. 100% DV of sodium in one dish is way to much. Ponzu a citrus-based sauce commonly used in Japanese cuisine would have been a useful ingredient that would have worked great in place of the 4 tablespoons of soy. I just couldn't add all the soy so I used 2 tablespoons. Garnished with Fresh cilantro and Green Onion I did serve in the pita (Greek) as suggested I would have like to see rice or udon noodles. Thank you.
The flavor in this dish was off the charts! Although the finished product could use some color, each bite is delicious. The flavors are complex, slightly sweet, mild, well seasoned, and was so good it scored as one of my favorite contest recipes. I admit to major doubts when it came time to add so much cocoa powder and I honestly had a backup sandwich meal planned just in case, but it's a contest recipe so I closed my eyes and added it all. The dish smelled wonderful, but turned a blah brown. I had chopped all of the veggies approx the same size as the peas. We loaded it into homemade pitas with leaf lettuce, thin slices of purple onion, and tomatoes. One bite had us convinced the chef had presented us with a keeper of a recipe. Next time I might add red pepper and possibly sprinkle with cilantro for color. Good luck in the contest!
I really, really enjoyed this! I was tempted to use less curry powder, but as it turns out it is just right as written. I have never before added cocoa powder to a savory dish before and found the addition very interesting. I liked this the more I ate it. Served over rice.

You know better. You're an honest cop. Sure I am. And who made me an honest cop? Hank Quinlan. Come on, Menzies. I am what I am because of him.

The best action of MLS Week 27 was highlighted by Real Salt Lake, Benny Feilhaber and Luis Robles, but what about the worst?
The Philadelphia Union and Montreal Impact failed to meet the criteria after a scoreless draw at PPL Park. Despite a man advantage, the Columbus Crew couldn't capitalize and fell 1-0 to the Seattle Sounders. It was the club's 13th loss of the season.
They won't be featured, either.
Some tough competition also kept the Los Angeles Galaxy from making the list of best and worst from MLS Week 27.

"There's a long history of politicians promising a renaissance, a comeback, a rebirth, basing their rhetoric … [on] construction of a heavily subsidized building in the city of Detroit," he said. "And we've shown that it hasn't worked."

Skip to comments.Pre-Trib Rapture Arguments
Posted on 02/24/2006 8:40:59 AM PST by conserv371
click here to read article
I love talking about it, not much for agueing
Until we see Him face to face, none of us will have all the answers.
Have a great week
I believe these are the tribulation saints, who missed the rapture then were saved. They will indeed reign with Christ during the millenium, as will we.
If the Church was to go through the tribulation, it would hardly be a blessed hope to look forward to. I believe if Christ meant for the Church to go through the tribulation, there would be specific instructions how to do so.
Pauls teaching on the rapture in thessolonians tells us to comfort one another with these words, not scare the living daylights out of each other with these words
= = =
Excellent points I hadn't thought about before. Thanks for your greatly enlightening post.
God's best to you and yours.
Please ping me when you get back to it. I like iron sharpening iron discussions.
I'd known it was not Darby and that it was around in the first centuries. But I'd never read a good summary of that evidence before. I think this is just part of such evidence.
Thanks Quix. The thought of being raptured is a glorious thought to me, be it pre- mid- or post-trib, getting caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord Jesus is a magnificent event which I look forward to.
I try to live my life now in such a way that my habits and my strength of character are at a point that if the Evil Days begin and we of saving faith are still here, that I will overcome until the end, please, Lord, make it so. That my heart doesn't grow cold, that I don't accept the mark of the beast, and that my hope and trust remain anchored in Jesus, the One Who forgives sin and conquers evil.
If it turns out we are raptured BEFORE the tribulation, I'm not gonna cling to my front porch and yell, NO NO I WON'T GO, IT'S TOO SOON !!!
I'm gonna say, GLORY HALLELUJAH THANK YOU JESUS and then I'll sing and shout the victory on my way up to be with Him.
Meanwhile, I am praying for all those I love and all those I come in contact with and for the whole world to be made ready so that they may share with those of us who by faith have a place in His eternal Kingdom.
Thanks, Quix. I am still not convinced of pre trib but,as I said before, I'll grab my ticket at the station when the train pulls in.
I understand. Bee back and forth on it myself over a lot of years.
This LaHaye, Jenkins book is well done—better than most I've read on such.
Please consider this thread:
For an update on Babylon
WOW! Your attitude in this post is what I've been looking for in an "end-times" discussion. I too yearn for learning through God's word without arguments and condescension.
Thanks, Quix for re-posting this too.
Thanks thanks.
Sure. Thanks for your kind and well put responses.
People seem to be looking for a Tribulation with a capital "T" when the Bible refers to tribulation with a little "t". In the 24th Chapter of Matthew, it refers to "after the tribulation of those days" as being the time when Christ would return. Who knows? Perhaps the earth has been in the tribulation ever since Christ ascended.
Given the great pains The Lord went to
in order to spell out specific numbers of days and weeks etc.
I think that hypothesis is highly improbable . . . so much so, as to be impossible, to me.
Folks may find the thread of excerpts from
at this thread of interest:
Pretty clear that this describes "the rapture", only problem is this happens after the first six seals are opened. One has to stretch pretty far to ignore it. The "Oh, those are the people who came to the Lord after the rapture" is real thin as they were have mentioned, while the main body was ignored in the text.
Nope, pre-trib is wishful thinking. Specially since the first two seals have already happened.
I've often thought that there's more than one or two raptures.
I wonder if there's a pre vs other list of Scriptures side by side.
I think I know which would be longer.
That's not my perspective.
A number of folks have merely gone to Scripture to try and see what Scripture presented pro or con.
Actually more than a time or 3. Can't find my specific post . . .
Ahhhhhh . . . Evidently you have not read my post 92 above.
I don't think the author's language was unclear. Are you calling 306-373 A.D. recent? or at the latest 565-627 recent? That would be a new definition of recent that I'd not been familiar with. Though, I still want to ask God about 2,000 years SOON, too! LOL.
BTW, there is PLENTY of Scriptural support for the Pre-Trib position. I hope to get it posted within a week or 2.
The "evil days" are here folks and have been ever since Jesus ascended back to His Father in Heaven. What do you all think a quarter of a million people being killed in one year just in natural disasters is but astoundingly evil tribulation? Wars and rumors of wars? Nations rising against nation and kingdom agains kingdom? What were all the world wars and other numerous wars we see today and have seen in which MILLIONS of human beings have been killed other than tribulation? What was the Holocaust but tribulation with a capital "T"? A thousand years is as one day with the Lord and one day as a thousand years. Perhaps we have five thousand more year days to go before Christ returns - it should not matter. We need to be ready all the time and pray. Most of us would like to not have to face mortal death, but rather to be "changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye" and have our completed mortal bodies put on immortality; but whatever happens, the Lord has it all under control, perfect control. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord; He will take care of us, and He is faithful. He is in the NOW and time is no factor to Him.
So, you're saying this is as bad as it's going to get?
I don't know, Jocko, if this is as bad as it's going to get? Scripture says evil men will wax worse and worse in the latter days . . and they are . . wars, rumors of wars, famines, pestilences (what about the Black Plague and the worldwide influenza epidemic that killed millions of people worldwide and only stopped when it ran out of human fuel, Bangladesh type starvations of whole populations, Rwanda, Civil War all over for generations, WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War that went on forever, not to mention all the wars and rumors of wars rising in a crescendo from the time of Christ up until now, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, volcanoes, earthquakes increasing also in a crescendo. I don't think the Revelation of Jesus Christ (the book of Revelation) is only talking about the events of a few days that will cause some newspaper to come out and print as a headline "THIS IS THE TRIBULATION!!" . . but fear not, let him who is athirst drink freely from the fountain that is spoken of in the last chapter of Revelation.
As a curious new student of your Bible study class where do you stand on the "rapture" issue?
I'm trying to get involved with some of these eschatology discussions. Some of the folks (on both sides) can get pretty mean spirited sometimes and it just pushes me away. I believe that whether we believe pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib, that we'll eventually get to the same eternity as long as Jesus is the basis for our salvation.
The main thing I've found in these FR eschatology discussions is self edification. I don't believe they do anything to add to the flock but it does help us to delve deeper into the word. And it the long run, that's a good thing regardless of the reason.
What about you?
I don't believe in it at all. My concern is that if people are taught they will be raptured then they will be deceived when the anti-christ makes his appearance.
I see it as the main deception that he will use to make people believe he is Christ, coming to rapture them away. He does something that "deceiveth the whole world", something that will make Christians that have loved Christ all their lives change suddenly and follow him. The Christians that I know love Christ so much that that would be unthinkable to them so it has to be done deceitfully. They will believe it is Christ because they haven't been taught what will happen.
Many family members and friends of mine believe in the rapture and I am very, very worried about it. When I have talked to some of them and showed them scripture that I feel destroys the rapture doctrine they just do not want to hear it. As a dear sister-in-law said, but you should hear my preacher. It brings to mind when Jesus told us to "take heed and follow no man".
Another sister-in-law said, "but I'm saved, so why should I worry about that?" If she follows anti-christ, even unknowingly, then who is she saved to? He will never leave us but we can leave Him. He is a jealous God and said "have no other gods before Me".
I was taught that the rapture would occur then the anti-Christ would reign and...to be honest, I don't know.
I wish more people would keep that open mind and read what the Bible tells us will happen, not what man tells us. To those that continue to believe in rapture I try to tell them that if we all disappear, as the Left Behind books tells us will happen, then there is nothing to worry about but if someone comes looking like Jesus, doing miracles like Jesus, etc., as the Bible warns he will and we are still in our flesh bodies - go the other way - it is the fake. When Jesus arrives at the 7th trump we are all changed into our spirit bodies and the anti-christ can't do that.
That's how I feel about rapture, just very concerned.
I won't go that far. I do believe that we will be taken up...
1Theselonians 4:15-18 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
I just don't know when it's going to happen. I believe that we; (1)must admit that we are sinners, (2)believe that Jesus is the Son of God and was sent to this world to redeem us from those sins, (3)Confess that He is the Son of God, (4)and accept Him as our personal Savior for it is by Grace through Faith we are saved.
Those are the things that we must agree on. Everything else, including eschatology, we can debate, discuss, and learn from. I just wish we could do it in a way that is honoring to God and not boastful and attempting to be honoring to us.
In Christ,
Amen. It can be Wiley even though it is difficult if one believes differently than another. There are some difficult posters but there are many that are not.
1Thessalonians 4:15-18 - As you, I also believe these verses but I don't believe it means "rapture" as rapture has been taught.
I believe that the subject of those verses is found in vs. 13, and concerns those that are "asleep". Paul is telling us that as Christians we should know that as Jesus died and rose again so will He bring back those that "sleep in Jesus".
Paul then tells us in vs 15 that those which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord , shall not prevent them which are asleep.
Another definition of prevent is preceed - We shall not preceed those that have died before us as they are already with Him. In vs. 16 Paul then tells us that when Jesus arrives it is, with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: This is the last trump and there are only seven (that perfect number) and the dead are first as they are already with Him.
Then we have the verse that I believe has been completely taken out of context -
17.Then we which are alive, and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
In the clouds is a figure of speech. Paul used it another time in Heb.12:1, Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses..., as in a "cloud of locusts" - a big group. Air, as used here, doesn't mean up in the atmosphere but rather "to breathe unconciously, respire, naturally circumvent. If it is your "breath" as air, as God breathed our soul into us then it would be our spirit.
So to me the meaning of vs. 17 is: Then we which are still living when Christ returns will be caught up in a great crowd to meet the Lord in our spirit bodies and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
This thought is further explained in:
1Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
There are many more places where I feel scripture tells us that we will be here at that 7th trump, not gone, but as far as I know, this "1Thess 4" scipture is the one most often used to teach rapture.
If you want to discuss more on this subject I would really enjoy it. There are other places where this subject is taught if you are at all interested. I like to hear others ideas on this and other subjects as I feel there is so much for us, as children of God, to learn.
In Christ.......Ping
1Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
The phrase, "shall be caught up", is translated from the word harpazō, which according to my reference means, to seize (in various applications): - catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).
The phrase, "the clouds", is nephelē which is properly cloudiness, that is, (concretely) a cloud: - cloud.
To put this back in my terms, I must believe the Bible is literal in these cases. You know the old saying, "The Bible said it, that settles it." Otherwise, I/We would be trying to define nearly every thing that the Bible says. Now don't get me wrong. I know that symbolism, metaphors, and anthropomorphisms are in the Bible. But I also know that there are many places where the Bible is literal. I chose to believe that when the Bible says, "...we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air", that it means, "we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air".
You don't sound like you're out of your "comfort zone" at all. I believe the Bible is being literal in the 1Thess.4:17 verse too. Completely literal, I just don't think it means what many are being taught it means.
It is reference to the 2nd Advent of Christ and when that happens at the 7th trump we will be literally "caught up". Everyone will as written in 1 Corinthians 15:51-53. All of us are changed. I take that literally too, whether it means it will be "in the air" or "in our spirit bodies" I guess really doesn't matter. It will happen.
My point in this is that nowhere did it say we would be flown away from earth to miss the tribulation. Perhaps those that teach rapture are taking that from a following verse, 1Thess.5:9, where it says:
For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
We aren't appointed to wrath. We're His children and He loves us but He never said He would keep us from the tribulation, rather we would be able to go through it. Some of our types, or examples, are Noah, Daniel in the lion's den, the 3 Hebrew children in the firey furnace, the plagues of the Exodus, etc. We will experience it and our safe passage is His Word:
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12.For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
If we carry the knowledge of God, His truth, His Word then we shall not be harmed during Satan's tribulation of deceit. We won't believe he is Christ and follow him.
Luke 21: tells us of that time but in vs. 18 Jesus says,"But not a hair of your head shall be lost" In the Olivet prophecies Jesus tells us what to expect in the end times and although He said, "I have foretold you all things", He never said He would take us away so we wouldn't experience the tribulation but rather told us what to expect and what to do during that time.
As I said in my earlier post, I believe that the 1Thess 4: verses are what is most often used to teach rapture. Those teachers need to go farther, to 2 Thessalonians to get the true meaning.
In the second letter of Paul to the Thessalonians, which followed not long after the first, he tried to clear up some misunderstandings his first letter caused:
2 Thess.2:1 Now, brethern, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you
2.Not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us though the day of Christ had come.
That would be 1 Thess. letter
3.Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition.
Satan comes first, we will experience his tribulation before the coming of Christ. Satan is the abomination of desolation that (4)"sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Paul continues and warns us about Satan in the following verses:
9.The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders.
10.and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11.And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie.
12.that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
God sends the delusion, he allows this deception of Satan. He wrote a letter and expects us to read it and not listen to the traditions of men.
This was longer than I meant it to be but I feel very strongly about this subject. I hope you are not offended with this. Many are when rapture is discussed as they were raised with the idea. Please consider this and let me know your thoughts.
Excellent entertainment.
Why do you say that? Do you believe rapture to be a true teaching? Do you believe it to be false or do you think of God's Word as a whole to be "excellent entertainment" that only kooks discuss?
Please explain your remark.
Thank you.
That's ok, this is good stuff. I feel like I can discuss this even if I disagree with you and keep all respect. I will be back to this. Gotta go right now though. Wiley
I agree that this verse refers to eternity. That we will be saved from God's wrath in the judgment, not necessarily during the tribulation. God never promised us that we would not have troubles {tribulation} but you're right, that He would lead us through it.
If we carry the knowledge of God, His truth, His Word then we shall not be harmed during Satan's tribulation of deceit. We won't believe he is Christ and follow him.
If you're right, the tribulation would be the ultimate test for us wouldn't it?
Please stay with me with this discussion. Your probes and questions force me to think and delve into the Scriptures...which is the point, huh!
In Christ
Actually, I never thought it was about wrath in eternity at all. Now that you've brought it to my attention I see that it can mean that. I also think it references wrath during the tribulation. I don't think we will experience the wrath He brings on unbelievers. He loves us and we stand on the Rock
If you're right, the tribulation would be the ultimate test for us wouldn't it?
Yes, I believe all scripture culiminates in that final test. That is what this trip on earth is all about. Who we will follow, God or Satan.
Your friend and student........Ping
Nahum 1:2. God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserveth wrath for His enemies.
7.The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him.
The "Day of Trouble" is either the Lord's Day, the millennium and/or the day He returns, at the 7th trump. Either way the key words are that "He reserveth wrath for His enemies" and "He knoweth them that trust in Him".
I love knowing that........Ping
Puts a whole new light on the term, "You're either with us or your with our enemy", doesn't it?
I'm disturbed that pretrib rapture promoters like to chop contexts in half. For example, they read pretrib into I Thess. 4:17 and ignore that it's tied to the posttrib "destruction" of the wicked in I Thess. 5:3. And they read pretrib into I Cor. 15:52 and ignore that it's tied to vs. 54 (a quote of Isa. 25:8 which all agree is Israel's posttrib resurrection).
How do you tie in post tribulation destruction into, 1Thessolonians 5:3; "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."?
I just don't see how you get that from that verse. I'm not saying that it doesn't I just don't see it. Please explain.

World briefs
Military plane crash in Kazakhstan kills 27
MOSCOW -- Kazakhstan's acting border service chief was among 27 people killed in a military plane crash Tuesday near a southern city.
The Russian-made An-72 crashed 12 miles from the city of Shymkent near the border with Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan's Committee for National Security said in a statement.
The fatalities included a crew of seven and 20 border guards, including the acting head of the ex-Soviet nation's border protection service, Col. Turganbek Stambekov, the statement said.
Authorities said an investigation was opened into the crash. No cause was given, but southern Kazakhstan over recent weeks has been buffeted by winds, heavy snows and low temperatures, causing widespread flight delays.
Police helicopter crash in Ukraine kills 5
KIEV, Ukraine -- A police helicopter belonging to Ukraine's Interior Ministry crashed shortly after takeoff Tuesday in the central part of the country, killing five people on board, officials said.
The Mi-8 helicopter slammed into the ground just after taking off from an airport in the city of Alexandria in the Kirovograd region, about 200 miles southeast of the capital, Kiev, ministry spokesman Serhiy Burlakov said.
Investigators were working to determine what caused the helicopter to hit the ground as it was gaining speed Tuesday afternoon, Burlakov said. Three of the dead were crew members, and two were ground staff on board the helicopter.
Israel to build 942 more homes in east Jerusalem
JERUSALEM -- Israel has advanced the process of building 942 more settler homes in east Jerusalem under a new fast-track plan to tighten its grip on the territory, which the Palestinians claim as the capital of a future state.
A government planning committee on Monday moved the project to the advanced stage of asking contractors to submit bids to build them, the Interior Ministry said Tuesday. Once a bid is awarded, construction can begin on the project in the Gilo area, though it can take months, if not longer, to reach that point. An additional 300 units can be built after further planning, said attorney Daniel Seidemann, an expert on Jerusalem construction who sees the building as an obstacle to peacemaking. About 40,000 Israelis live in Gilo.
Pope's Christmas message focuses on religious freedom
VATICAN CITY -- In his Christmas message to the world Tuesday, Pope Benedict XVI called for an end to the slaughter in Syria and for more meaningful negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, while encouraging more religious freedom under China's new leaders.
Delivering the traditional speech from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, Benedict also encouraged Arab Spring nations, especially Egypt, to build just and respectful societies.
The pope prayed that China's new leadership may "esteem the contribution of the religions, in respect for each other" to help build a "fraternal society for the benefit of that noble people."
It was a clear reference to the Chinese government's often harsh treatment of Catholics loyal to the pontiff instead of to the state-sanctioned church.
Less than 12 hours earlier, Benedict had led a two-hour long Christmas Eve ceremony in the basilica.

NEW EGYPT, N.J. - Plumsted Township is an ordinary municipality in the middle of the state, much of it lying within the Pinelands National Reserve and the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. At one time, its chief distinction was dubious: It had five Superfund sites, the most in New Jersey.
But in January, this Ocean County town of 8,400 residents got a new claim to fame: It became the first municipality in New Jersey to take advantage of a law allowing towns to negotiate a bulk purchase of energy supply on behalf of its residents.
The concept, known as municipal aggregation, knocked about 14 percent off the generation charge of the local utility, Jersey Central Power & Light.

Apprentices and Graduates are answer to the industry skills shortage say managers in the oil indu
Nearly 80% of respondents to a survey conducted by Oil Consultants Ltd stated that providing more apprenticeships and graduate trainee programmes was the best way to overcome the current industry skills shortage.
"Oil Consultants are a provider of skilled and technical personnel to the oil industry" Helen Smith, CEO, "so for us it is interesting to see how the skills shortage is affecting our clients and if there is anything we could be doing as a company to help them overcome any difficulties. To do this we needed to know what our clients felt were the main reasons behind the problem and what, if anything, we should be doing in the future."
According to the survey results, only 23% of respondents felt that there were plenty of good quality candidates available in the market at the moment. When asked to rate availability by the type of candidate required it became clear that employers are struggling to find personnel with extended experience in either a specific skilled discipline or within a commercial setting.
When questioned as to the reasons for this shortage the majority of respondents felt it was down to an aging workforce with insufficient plans for skills transfer. Surprisingly, only 21% believed that developing technologies had an influence on the problem, a factor that has been cited in the past as one of the main causes.
Despite these results only 50% of respondents said that a better skills transfer programme was one way to overcome the shortage with the majority choosing investment in apprentices and graduates as a good way forward.
In conclusion Helen said "this survey throws up as many questions as it answers. Whilst investment in training programmes can only benefit the industry we were surprised that so few respondents felt skills transfer programmes were needed when compared to how many believed that a lack of this activity was actually causing the shortage. Perhaps the true answer lies somewhere in-between, with better training for apprentices and graduates, particularly in the area of new technologies, coupled with mentoring and support programmes provided by more senior staff members and the consultants brought in to work on short term, specialised projects. I don't think anyone knows the right answer but it is definitely an issue that the industry must tackle if it is to continue being profitably productive in the future."

Two losses on the road, two games where the Spurs had chances to make a mark and instead watched the Suns do that, watched the Suns make the big plays. It has all left Gregg Popovich a little testy.

Report: Clippers owner Ballmer will spend "whatever it takes" to keep Blake Griffin, Chris Paul
Is this the season the Clippers break through? They have been one of the eight best teams — usually one of the top five — for several years now, but that has not been enough to get them past the second round of the playoffs. A combination of injuries and running into superior teams has gotten in their way.
This season they will start as the fourth-best team in the league according to most NBA power rankings (including ProBasketballTalk's), but they will still be third best in the West. If things play out according to that script, it would mean another second-round exit.
The difference is next summer Chris Paul and Blake Griffin can be — and almost certainly will be — free agents (both have early termination options). If there is another second-round flame-out, can the Clippers keep them?
Owner Steve Ballmer is committed to spend whatever it takes to keep them in Clipper red, white, and blue, reports Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.
Most importantly, according to Clippers insiders, is his commitment to keeping both Griffin and Paul long term no matter what it costs.
Do both want to stay? That's impossible to predict nine months out. But it's hard to imagine either finding as good of a set up as they have in Los Angeles. Both have firmly planted roots in L.A., with deep ties to the business and entertainment worlds.
Take a moment to step back and realize just how much Ballmer has changed the Clippers' culture in three years from what Donald Sterling would have done. If Sterling still owned the team we'd be asking if he would open his pocketbook to spend to keep his two big stars in the same summer, and even if he was would that be enough or would both players be looking just to get away.
Now it's harder to make a case that either wants out — and that includes the idea that Griffin will bolt to go home to Oklahoma City and play for the Thunder next to Russell Westbrook. Few players have taken advantage of the Los Angeles lifestyle and opportunities as Griffin, who is an executive producer of one television show making a pilot and has worked on a career as a comic.
As for the inevitable Griffin/CP3 trade rumors, take them with a whole box of kosher salt.
As for the idea that they'd make a blockbuster trade, consider this: The only way the Clippers get a decent return is if Paul and/or Griffin agreed to waive their player option for next season, or guaranteed they'd re-sign long term in the city they were traded. There's no compelling reason for either of them to do that after the infusion of television rights' money spikes the salary cap up more than $100 million next summer.
Griffin and Paul will be free agents next summer. Whether they stay in Los Angeles or leave will depend in part on how this season goes and the prospects for them and the Clippers after this season. It's possible they leave.
But with Ballmer willing to open up his bloated checkbook, it's much easier to make the case they both stay put.
Matt Barnes says he's been warned for chewing gum, using bathroom during national anthem
The NBA has long taken a hard stance on the national anthem.
Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf was infamously suspended for sitting during the national anthem 1996. The league has a specific rule – which it doesn't plan to change – that states, "Players, coaches and trainers are to stand and line up in a dignified posture along the sidelines or on the foul line during the playing of the National Anthem."
That makes it more difficult for the NBA and union to compromise on national-anthem protests – especially because precedent has set a strict tone on the rule.
Kings forward Matt Barnes on The Vertical Podcast with JJ Redick:
They don't want you chewing gum. They told me, take the gum out of your mouth.
I was using the bathroom. They said you can't miss the anthem. I'm like, "Man, I had to pee." "Next time you'll be fined." I said, "Ohh, OK."
I doubt NBA commissioner Adam Silver wants to punish players for demonstrating on behalf of important social issues. But he's also behold to the team owners and corporate sponsors, and he must enforce the league's rules.
It's a fine line, one that the NBA's prior warnings on national-anthem conduction make even more difficult for Silver to walk.
Maybe the solution is raised fists? Kneeling, like Colin Kaepernick, would seem to violate the "stand" requirement. But if players are on their feet and in place, would the league really deem a raised fist an undignified posture?
Joel Embiid to start in Sixers first preseason game
Here's a little bit of good news for beleaguered Sixers fans:
Joel Embiid will start the Sixers first preseason game next Tuesday. Embiid was the No. 3 pick and a very highly rated prospect coming out of Kansas, but foot injuries sidelined him the entirety of his first two seasons. Now he's healthy and going to get a start next Tuesday, according to coach Brett Brown.
This will be a process. It will be two steps up and one step back all season for Embiid, but at least he's healthy enough to take those steps now.
Now the focus shifts to when Ben Simmons will be able to take his first steps.
Another report Donatas Motiejunas, Rockets nowhere near deal as deadline approaches
Donatas Motiejunas and his agent had given the Rockets a Saturday deadline to make a contract extension offer they liked.
But the sides aren't even talking in a serious way.
That was reported early on Friday, and now comes another report — this was from Calvin Watkins of ESPN — that the two sides are nowhere close to a deal.
With the deadline to sign a qualifying offer approaching, restricted free-agent power forward Donatas Motiejunas and the Houston Rockets have exchanged contract proposals but remain far apart on an agreement, multiple sources told ESPN.
Motiejunas is seeking a larger financial deal from the Rockets, but the two sides haven't had serious contract discussions in a month, the sources said.
Motiejuas, a restricted free agent, has a $4.4 million qualifying offer on the table that expires Sunday. He likely will sign it — if so he will have the ability to veto trades during the season then would be a free agent next summer. Motiejuas could let the deal expire then sign a new one-year deal with the Rockets, but he would make less money.
Last season the Rockets agreed to trade Motiejunas to the Pistons. However, Pistons voided the deal after he failed his physical. Motiejunas hammered Detroit for how it went down. That left Motiejunas a restricted free agent this summer, but he didn't land any offers from other squads (many thought the Rockets would just match).
That gets us to where we are today, where Motiejunas appears headed to signing the qualifying offer, then testing the market next summer as an unrestricted free agent.

Teas of China
The origin of tea plant traces its roots to Yunnan Province in southern China. Tea culture began here as well, before being exported to other countries around the world. China is known for it's skill in producing all the different styles of tea.
Pu-erh Teas
Pu-erhs difference in flavor comes from an additional step in processing. After picking the leaves, the tea maker creates a maocha, or sundried base tea. Once that's done, the tea undergoes a micro-fermentation process. Once this fermentation has been accomplished the leaves are aged, then packed or steamed and pressed into bricks or cakes. These teas also improve with age some prized pu-erh teas can be over 50 years old. There are stores throughout Asia, that specialize in selling only pu-erh teas and the range -- in style, quality, and price -- is astounding. People will pay thousands of dollars for rare pu-erh teas that are 30 years old and up.
How to brew pu-erh tea:
When the bricks are extremely tightly pressed it is best to use a strong knife to carefully pry out some leaves. The technique that works best is to insert the knife into the edge of the brick and then gently twist it up and down until the leaves loosen and flake off.Add about 3-4 grams per serving of tea (the amount depends upon type of pu-erh) to your teapot or gaiwan.Add hot boiling water at a full rolling boil -- it's the only tea that should be made with boiling water.Always pre-wash the leaves with a brief 5-10 second infusion to awaken the leaves. Then pour off the liquid.Steep
for 2-3 minutes. Once the tea seems ready. pour and taste it. If
necessary, adjust the steeping time for a stronger taste. The Tibetans
are famous for brewing their pu-erh teas overnight to make their famous
Soo Jah (Yak Butter and Salt Tea).
teas also have a lot of medical lore surrounding them. In China they
are considered beneficial for lowering cholesterol, fighting hangovers,
and aiding digestion.
