Trinity is nothing but a way of self consolation

Christianity discussion
One servant cannot have multiple masters. For, the masters would start a mega war with each other to show supremacy. See, Jesus was CREATED by God. . . He was a Creation, and hence doesn't deserve worshipping.
Jesus himself worshipped God. If somebody follow Jesus, then what he should do is the worship God, not Jesus. . . Jesus came only to show how to pray! Hope people will understand this and abandon the concept of trinity. . .
May be trinity was invented to take consolation that WE ARE POWER FUL, OR SO LUCKY, AS WE HAVE THREE GODS. Actually there is only one God

Matthew 3:13-17
The Godhead is one substance, consisting of three discernable persons who work in perfect harmony. Their harmony stems from their concensus decision to work from the foundation of Truth. The condition of Truth is the only one which can successfully build (anything). A creator, by nature a builder, can only conscience Truth as the basis upon which to succeed.
The three persons of the Godhead, existing in Truth, have divided between themselves the responsibilities essential to creation and its consequential maintenance.
The cited passage demonstrates the trinity quality of God's interaction with mankind. It identifies the Son (both True man and True God), the Father (speaking from heaven at the culmination of the Baptism), and Holy Spirit (decending as a dove-like vision)... This passage comes to us from Jewish disciples, teaching not only their brothers in heritage/faith (Jews) but also the Gentiles.
Man cannot reach up to God, nor attain perfection, from an imperfect state. God must reach down to mankind, providing dispensation from the condition (known as Sin) which was brought upon mankind through Satan (an aborrant, creation - a unique and rebellious angel).

God created Man, as the pinnacle of His living organisms here on Earth. He knew that with the gift of reason would lead Man to be open to suggestions, which He foresaw Satan would make. God didn't walk into creating this universe as some ignorant clown... All the actions and consequences which would unfold were foreseen, and plans for mitigation were set. God loves His creation. And particularly, He loves the most important character therein. God seeks return of His love, equally (as He loves). Because Man is not on the same level as God, and because Man is limited in his abilities, he can only approximate (poorly) in return what God gives to Man.
When Man decided to deviate from God's plan, Man became sinful (and cannot be in the presence of God without cleansing of the sin). Since Man cannot cleanse himself, only God can cleanse Man. That means that the pure, the Truth, has to take upon Himself the sin which Man has manifested. If Man has no cleasing, his future is death - separation from God (eternally). A perfect sacrifice, one innocent of any crime, is the only way for this sin to be removed. The Son (the eternal, the Jesus personality of the Godhead) subordinated Himself to the Father, and refused to use His power (as part of the Godhead) except only as the Father directed. Jesus became a servant to the Father - an example to Man, to be emulated by him.
God wants Man to be able to be in His presence, and commune with Him - just as Man was in the Garden of Eden. The sacrifice of the perfect, sinless life (for the sinful) will suffer the penalty of the Law - which God had put into place as the consequence to taking one's eyes off of God. [This is as true for the angels, as it is for Man - that's why Satan is no longer permitted in Heaven (or any of the fallen angels - demons)]. Satan is sinful. The only problem that Satan has (differing from Man) is that Satan is already immortal (he has no mortal part which can die and leave the "soul" to live on afterward) - there's no solution for him. We're fortunate. We have a chance to regain what was lost - Satan does not.
Redeemed, Man can renew his relationship with God (as God intended it from the beginning). Since God only has Man's best interests in mind (joy, peace, love - as a Father has for His children), an eternity with these I find most attractive.

Your contention is that Jesus was not God. If Jesus was born of a human father and a human mother, then he would be sinful (as all of mankind is, by the Adamic sin) with no righteousness. What is in question (afterward) is whether a human being (as God designed and made them) can remain sinless. God, Himself, has stated that Man cannot do so. Man is less powerful that Satan, and cannot resist the temptations with 100% ability. Jesus, the human being, was begotten of God and born of a human mother. In being born of a human mother, Jesus was True Man. In being begotten of the Father, Jesus was True God (notice that "begotten" is not the same as inherently human parenthood).
The Adamic sin, under which Jesus was born as a man, was removed by the baptism He received at the hands of John the Baptist. At the point where that occurred, Jesus was now available to do the Father's will (using the Holy Spirit as the messenger) for human redemption - the perfect sacrifice.
Demons, who recognize Him as the Son of God, plead not to be tormented by His commands (which they had rejected at their fall from Heaven). Only God can compel Satan and his demons to do ANYTHING. Demons directed by Satan are not exorcised by him - that would be contradictory to his authority.

I completely agree with you ...
However I find it pretty much difficult to believe in the fact that " In being begotten of the Father, Jesus was True God."
Because , God is too exalted to be associated with the concept of begetting children . Even if this is taken to be true, then a thought might arise as to there might have been some super God who had created the present God, and He was so powerful that He did not require any partner.
( God forgive me! I neither believe it , nor do I have that thought )
That Jesus performed so many miracles does not mean Jesus was God. Why God supported Jesus with so many miracles is only known to Him. But as far as my little thoughts can reach, Jesus was given miraculous powers so that he might proven divine ( Not God Himself ).
Also ,do not think Jesus came to save you ,he came to show you a path of salvation , which you have to do by yourself. Otherwise those hypocrites out there will readily take Christianity just in order do sinful acts, and say "there is no problem , Jesus is there to save us " ...

Don't be misled by the English definitions set for the word "beget". Both in the Old Testament (OT) [Genesis] and New Testament (NT) [Luke] there are list of lineages - OT from Adam to David, and NT from Jesus back to Adam. In the context of these lineages, "beget" speaks to a physical act of husband and wife (copulation and fertilization).
The "begotten" Son, of God (the Father), is not a reference to any super-creator who spawned either the Father or the Son. What it refers to is that God is multi-faceted. The personalities He exhibits to us reflect functional relationships (qualities of personality and ability exhibited)... Don't fall into the trap of imbuing God with human qualities - man is FINITE, and our understanding of God is therefore LIMITED. If we attempt to describe God in terms WE understand, then we do HIM injustice.
The Father is the creative force, with a plan for the creation that is produced which is event-driven. The Son is the source of LIFE, and the one who tends and nurtures the creation. The Holy Spirit is the teacher and comforter for those caught in this sinful world, with man having fallen from grace through disobedience. Although we humans list them as three named individuals, they are not separate. They are one substance. One God.
AbdulKalam wrote: "That Jesus performed so many miracles does not mean Jesus was God."
You didn't read the references I listed earlier, obviously. In those passages, not only did Jesus declare that He was God (the Son) - but, the demons identified and declared Him as such. Reading the Bible will point out the inter-relationships between OT and NT.
AbdulKalam wrote: "Also ,do not think Jesus came to save you ,he came to show you a path of salvation , which you have to do by yourself."
If you read the OT story about the Tower of Babel, and the King Nimrod who tried reaching God by human efforts, you'll see God's reaction to it - by destruction of the Tower and confusion of the languages. This was to prevent mankind from falling completely under Satan's control. God wanted to give mankind a chance for salvation. NOTHING that mankind will do can reach God, because of the sinful condition (which prevents being in the presence of God).
Only God can absolve mankind of sin. And the rule invoked was that something's life must be forfeited for transgression. The Hebrews were given a system of sacrifice (animals for people), a cleansing through blood of innocents - an encouragement that there is a way for mankind to be reconciled to God.
Since man cannot reach God, then God must reach out to man. His answer was Jesus, the Christ. The spirit of God (as 'the Son') being sent by the Father, as a sacrifice of total righteousness and innocent of sin, was the solution to mankind's transgressions. He does it once ONLY, for ALL sin - if He didn't to it once-and-for-all, then we'd conclude that God wasn't capable of doing so... But, He did do it - perfectly. His GRACE and MERCY are extended to man, even though man doesn't deserve it (and deserves punishment, instead). God wants us to be able to join Him, in His heaven and remain with Him ALWAYS... THIS is the measure of His love.
AbdulKalam wrote: "Otherwise those hypocrites out there will readily take Christianity just in order do sinful acts, and say "there is no problem , Jesus is there to save us."
The fact that only God can see into the heart of a man, permits Him to discern between those who are genuinely followers of Christ and those who aren't. Man cannot fool God. Those folks to whom you allude (going out and sinning like there's no tomorrow) aren't truly believers - they haven't embraced Jesus' teaching. They will receive judgement commensurate with their behavior. The true Christian confesses a sinful nature, amplified by the tendency to think of self over God. The sincerity of confession (which only God can discern), is answered (through the Holy Spirit) with the reassurance that Christ has paid for ALL sin (past, present, and future).
The Christian lives with the assurance that following Jesus' path, fulfilling His command to spread the Word through evangelism, and the Grace the Father provided through Jesus' death and resurrection will result in judgment being the Father viewing each individual through the righteousness of His Son. Since His Son is sinless and righteous, the believing Christian will see God and be in His presence forever.

Note the use of "begotten son" appearing in OT:

Here David is the narrator. If that doesnot make David God, why do u take Jesus as God ? (While reading the Bible, you will find many references to "son of god", where g in god is written in lower case, however the word used in original scriptures is all the same.)
So it is obvious u are clearly overlooking some verses and only choosing those which satisfies you .
If the demons declared Jesus as God, that was like a gambit in chess.
You said : " Since man cannot reach God, then God must reach out to man..... "
See how close to us is God as Written in Quran : (if u have no access to Quran, please google)
'We (Allah-SWT) are closer to you than your jugular vein'. (Qaf – 16).
'Wherever you are, He is with you'. (Al-Hadid – 4).
When My servants ask you (O'Prophet – SAWS) concerning Me, ( tell them ) I am ever present ( with them ) and I listen to the call of him that calls Me. (Al-Baqara – 186).
Also see that He doesnot need to sacrifice Jesus for our salvation. He Himself is the most forgiving :
"Say: O My servants who have transgressed against their own souls, despair not of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Surah az-Zumar 39:53) (...there are many verses like this)

The translation which I view is found on biblegateway(dot)com using the New King James Version (NKJV).
If you viewed Psalm 2, in its entirety, then you would see it was narrated by David (inspired by God), but David was writing of the coming Messiah (Messiah = God's annointed savior). The title of the Psalm being "The Messiah's Triumph and Kingdom"...
The NKJV states it as:
"'I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me,
'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You..." (as far as you quoted).
Capitalization of pronouns in the Christian passages comes from the detailed research by theologians into who was speaking to whom (and when), in many places where the recorder does not make it obvious. In this case:
LORD = God
Me = Messiah (Jesus)
My Son = God's son (Jesus)
You = Jesus
The passage you quoted, of which I've provided the Christian clarified rendition, is reflecting David being given information about one of his decendents - the promise that the Messiah will come "from the house of David" to rule... Now, read the rest IN CONTEXT.
[If you point a finger at someone, and claim "cherry-picking", then you must be prepared to have someone point one right back at you.]

I acknowledge that God is *omnipresent*. You understand this word, yes? It means "present everywhere at the same time". This is something that Christians understand - along with *omnipotent* and *omniscient* ("all powerful" and "all knowing", respectively).
The ancient Hebrew recorders viewed "heaven" as "in the sky" (where God was at creation). They didn't have the benefit of Ptolemy or Galileo... So, the Nimrod story reflects the idea of man attempting to reach heaven (God) by "going UP". And, the opposing direction would necessarily be "DOWN to earth" (where man lives). It's traditional worldwide to assume that kings sit on thrones, elevated above the floor where the "common" people are. The idea of God "reaching DOWN" to man stems from this concept - so don't sound self-righteous.
The animals are sinless, they haven't trangressed God's laws. That's why they were eligible to act on man's behalf. But, they are not volunteers - they are taken.
AbdulKalam wrote: "Also see that He does not need to sacrifice Jesus for our salvation. He Himself is the most forgiving:"
God makes the following statement (Malachi 3:6): "'For I am the LORD, I do not change;..."
He is steadfast (immutable) in His laws and behavior. To be True always, He cannot be any other way.
I agree that God is forgiving, and merciful. He, also, laid out a set of rules by which this universe would behave, and what was acceptable to Him (Gen 2:16-17): "And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.'"
SIN (i.e. transgressing God's command) brings death. That which has sinned is tainted, and is no longer sinless (or righteous). Something tainted cannot make itself clean. That would be like having a glass full of water getting sludge poured into it - then expecting the glass to clean itself (without being able to replace the water).
For the Hebrews, He instituted sacrifice - the very first occasion being when God clothed Adam and Eve in animal skins to cover their nakedness at their expulsion from Eden. But, the sacrifice was momentary - not covering everything. Each sin committed, individually, requires new sacrifice under that system. Man was not free of sin, in and of his own efforts. Human beings are incapable of remaining sinless (100% without sin). If they could be, then why would a person need God? And THAT is what God is trying to communicate to us - we CANNOT exist without Him.
Being immutable, God maintains His position regarding sin. If there is to be a final solution to sin, then God Himself must perform it - because the works of man cannot cancel sin. Man is tainted. Only God is sinless and righteous. And, since the sinful state remains in man God must provide the permanent solution...
As Christians believe, that sinless (and volutary) sacrifice was God (the Father) accepting Jesus' (the Son) life in payment. Since God is omnipotent, death (as we know it) does not control God. And, so, Jesus' resurrection to life is an expected consequence of Him being one with the Father.

If sin brings death, [Ezekiel 18:20] and if your assertion that sacrifice of Jesus was the the permanent solution to sin, then why do men still die ?
Jesus said : I am the way, and the truth, and
the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.[ John 14:6]
What he meant is that "I am the way to God, Follow my footsteps and then only you can come to God".
Note Jesus said "Moses wrote about me." (John 5 :46).
This verse points to Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18 :18. Here God says "I will raise a prophet like Moses." Hence, Jesus was telling those Jews that he was that Prophet.
Jesus also said :
"Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master; neither one who is sent greater than the one
who sent him." (John 13:16).
Regarding "begotten son" check Luke 3:38 "son of Enos, son of Seth, son of Adam, son of God.". Here Adam is also son of God.
Check Romans 8:14 - "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God."
See Luke 1:31-32 "31.And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. 32.He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David"
Did you notice "he will be 'called' the Son of Most High" ? It means Son of God was only a name of Jesus.
"The only Son" as stated in John 3:16, is actually a misinterpretation. The original Bibles had " the unique Son" in its place, which was replaced by the current words by Jerome in around 336 AD. [http://www.mostmerciful.com/gideon-bible.htm]
Some states
John 10:30 "The Father and I are one."
to prove Jesus is God, or Son of God or whatever. But what is the context of "one" here ?
Please read John 17:11
"And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one."
One here means unity , not 'the same'.
(Recall the time) when the angels said, `O Mary! Allâh gives you good tidings through a (prophetic) word from Him (about the birth of a son) whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, (he shall be) worthy of regard in this world and in the Hereafter and one of the nearest ones (to Him), [Quran 3:45]
She said, `My Lord! how can I and whence shall I have a child while no man has yet touched me (in conjugal relationship)?' (The Lord) said, `Such are the ways of Allâh, He creates what He will. When He decrees a thing He simply commands it, "Be" and it comes to be.'[Quran 3:47]

One has to know the nature of man. He is a two-part creature, which requires a third part to thrive (I'll get to that in a minute). Man's nature is earth-bound.
Man has a physical side, his body and his mind (intellect). That is earth-bound, coming from the physical environment. We, as physical human beings, are carbon-based mud bound to this planet. Our raw material comes from what is around us. There is no further extension to that. Even in Genesis 1 it says so - created from the dust of the ground.
Man has a soul - the "breath of life" which God, Himself, imparts to each and every person. This is spirit, because it came from Spirit. It is not physical, as the body is physical. God's Spirit (what He is) is eternal. So is the unique soul He gives to each person. It will out-exist the body - because it was given to us by an eternal Spirit.
See Genesis, and the admonition given to Adam. The person, Adam (body and mind), will die if God's command is transgressed. The spirit must return to God (see Isaiah 55:11). But, if the soul is sinful, it cannot return to God (Genesis 3:8, 4:16; Leviticus 22:3; Psalm 51:11, 68:2, 76:7). It must be cleansed of sin, in order to be in His presence (heaven - the dwelling of God). The judgement of God stands firm when it is levied.
In the case of Adam and Eve, the immortal physical quality they enjoyed being with God was forfeited. And, as such, all human beings are now mortal, inherited from sinful beginnings. The critical issue for God is that the soul does not also die because of the sin instigated by Satan. It is Satan's future to be separated from God for eternity. But, God does not want the misleading (Satan) of the innocents (Adam and Eve) to be eternal suffering for mankind. Therefore, a provision was made. A temporary measure for the Hebrew nation (blood sacrifices). But, this leaves out the Gentiles (non-Hebrews). God does not want just SOME to be saved, he wants ALL to be saved (should they recognize their errors, and seek out God). To achieve final solution, He sent Christ. [Previously, I spoke to man's inability to reach God.]
Now, the third part of man (the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit, "God with us") is that which makes us complete - and He marks us as those faithful to God. So, when we physically die, we are accepted into God's presence and do not spiritually die ("second death" = eternal separation from God; Revelation 2:11, 20, 21:8).
God has promised that when we physically die there is a new, incorruptable body awaiting us. Because He was communicating with common men (disciples), He spoke in terms that they could rationalize. In my view, the "new" body reference is really an allusion to a change in state of existence. They did not have the concepts to describe or understand this... The soul will be absent from the physical body - but still be able to emote, reason, and impose action that affects this universe. The soul will draw nourishment from God, Himself - maintaining vitality from the source that feeds everything.

AbdulKalam wrote: "What he meant is that 'I am the way to God, Follow my footsteps and then only you can come to God'."
Actually, because of Jesus' unique position as the final sacrifice (eliminating attribution of sin to human beings - IF they believe in Him and His action) is "the way". Up to Jesus' appearance on the scene NO Gentile had a chance to be forgiven. Why? Because the failure to recognize and worship the one (and only) God placed a roadblock in "the way" of the path to God. Jesus' comment states that His actions had removed the blockage - sin - as interference to mankind's path to God. Those wishing to "come to God" can only come due to Jesus' accomplishment.
This life provides irritations, placed in our path by Satan and his cohorts (demons). If a person does not trust in God and His plan for us, then these obstacles become fatal to the soul (as no one can perfectly satisfy obedience - Romans 3:21-26). To "fall short" of God's glory means "missed the mark". Missing the mark equates to being unrighteous, a judgement that has already been levied by God. There is no reprieve from this judgement, because any man trying to justify himself fails. Those who have trust in God (the Father and the Son) will experience irritations from these same sources. But, the difference is realized in that God only permits what the person is capable of handling. With every temptation, God provides ways to avoid committing the sin (sinning = allowing oneself to experience the fulfillment of the temptation).
AbdulKalam wrote: "Note Jesus said 'Moses wrote about me.' (John 5:46). This verse points to Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18. Here God says 'I will raise a prophet like Moses.' Hence, Jesus was telling those Jews that he was that Prophet."
Again, you read only pieces... I agree that Jesus was a Prophet of God. He did make claims, which He identified as coming from God (the Father). Those events foretold were realized, with only one exception. He has not yet returned in glory, to judge the world. THAT is still pending. At that time He will initiate a kingdom (of the Jews) which will last "a thousand years". Since symbology is often used, which does not follow literal meaning, this "thousand years" can be interpreted to refer to God's time (see 2 Peter 3:8). Man's time is not on the same scale as God's time.
That is not what you have been debating - you claim that He is ONLY a prophet (being not captialized = just human). Prophet is only ONE of the attributes He has. You think that He has only one mission during His sojourn on Earth.
AbdulKalam wrote: "Jesus also said: 'Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master; neither one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.' (John 13:16)"
If you examine your mathematics rules, then you will notice that "not greater than" is NOT exclusively the same as "is less than". The phrase does not rule out the property "is equal to".
As I mentioned in a previous posting, capitalization is placed in Christian translations to highlight when the speaker or the object is referring to God, Himself. Reading the surrounding passages to your citation (John 13:12-17):
"[12] So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, 'Do you know what I have done to you? [13] You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. [14] If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. [15] For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. [16] Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. [17] If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them...' "
He has provided His disciples with an example of servitude and humility. Since Jesus is God in the flesh, then His comments to the disciples are saying that the twelve should do likewise to all the rest of mankind (and that failure to do as Jesus stated would be like saying "I'm better than or equal with God, who washed *my* feet"). A disciple is ALWAYS considered less than the master, since the experience the master has (coupled with the theory being taught to the disciple) outweighs the disciple's theory only.

Read the entire section (Luke 3:23-38). Notice the first verse:"[23] Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph..."
Notice the parenthetical. Since Joseph was not Jesus' biological father (everyone thinking that He was, because Joseph did NOT shame Mary by pointing out that she was pregnant BEFORE they both had been brought to the marriage), someone else is the father. Mary, being a virgin (attested to by the midwives who delivered her), had experienced an immaculate (or virgin) birth for Jesus. Had the virgin birth been biological only, the child would be female. The DNA held by the female human being is two (2) "X" chromosomes in each cell of her body. In order for a male to be born, one of those "X" chromosomes has to be replaced with a "Y" chromosome. They are not self-generating. Joseph had not provided it. No other human being had provided it. That leaves only one alternative - God. Creation is uniquely the purview of God. [On the other hand, Satan is the destroyer - given measured release from God's bindings, when needed.]
That begs the question as to "how" God provided it. The Bible passages describing the "annunciation" (archangel Gabriel announcing God's selection of a Hebrew woman to bear the Son of God) state that the Holy Spirit (third person of the Trinity, the one who would inhabit each believer's heart) would "overshadow" her... Now, when God created the universe (Genesis 1), He "overshadowed" the waters. You can try to read into it any number of explanations which make sense to men. But, I think that, since God is not limited by human characteristics, we men shall not know what has not been explained - but those souls "returning to God" will understand, when everything is unveiled over eternity.
The lineage lays out a list, each human "begets" a "son" (not "Son"), in keeping with the Christian annotations for clarity distinction between mankind and God. Man was a creation (separate and non-existent prior to creation), not a portion of God (as the Son and Holy Spirit are, with the Father) who existed from eternity past. Let's not fall into the trap of trying to describe God in human limitations, as if they are specific independent persons... Let's use an example to clarify (presuming you are married male and have at least one child). AbdulKalam is simultaneously a father, a son, and a grandson. You are not three individuals, but three relationships defined by roles. As a father, you have one role (assigned certain specific characteristics). Similarly, as son and grandson, you have other distinct roles. Your roles overlap only in that you are one individual and those roles interact.
Examine Matthew 1:1-16. The phrasing used for Jesus' relationship to Joseph and Mary: "[16] And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ." Notice that Joseph is referred to as "the husband of Mary", and the attribution of birth attributed to Mary alone ("Mary, of whom was born Jesus..."). After all the painstaking soandso-begot-soandso (in so many words), why is Jesus not so listed? There is no "Joseph begot Jesus". Joseph is not Jesus' biological father, which this list represents between prior generations. As I pointed out, there is only one option for Father. The Father's substance was provided to Mary, in the form of the "Y" chromosome which made a boy possible. And God, Himself, inhabited Jesus (true man) as His Soul (true God)... Here is the catch - Mary's lineage is also through the "line of David". Whether He's referred to by his father's line or His mother's line, He's still a son of David - a royal line.
AbdulKalam wrote: "See Luke 1:31-32 '[31] And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. [32] He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David...' Did you notice 'he will be "called" the Son of Most High'? It means Son of God was only a name of Jesus."
I suggest looking at Matthew 1:23 (Immanuel = "God with us"). If you read the Bible through, you will notice something significant. God often calls men by names *other than* those supplied by the person's parents. We discussed the facets of God being "named" (which describe collected characteristics). God uses names this way - look at Jesus speaking to his first disciple Simon (renamed "Peter", and what "Peter" means). Look also at Revelation 19:11-16 - many names are attributed to the Son of God, seen now in power and glory.
AbdulKalam wrote: "'The only Son' as stated in John 3:16, is actually a misinterpretation. The original Bibles had 'the unique Son' in its place, which was replaced by the current words by Jerome in around 336 AD. [http://www.mostmerciful.com/gideon-bible.htm]
Your quotation is not NKJV John 3:16. The NKJV inserts "begotten" between "only" and "Son" in your quote. The website you provide is Islamic - and the credentials of the host are suspect as someone well educated in Christian studies. Would you expect a Jewish scholar to convincingly (and supportively) expound on the validity of Islam? I strongly expect your answer is, "no".
The following is attributed to: Robert Dean Luginbill, Ph.D; Classical and Modern Languages.
However, the ancient Greek referred to, "monogenes", is literally "one begotten" - and not translated as "unique". I found [www(dot)ichthys(dot)com(slash)mail-Only-Begotten-Mother-Of-God-On-This-Rock(dot)htm; question 1, response 1] which I think ties Hebrew and Greek together to resolve the uncertainty. For interest's sake, you might also read (question 7, response 7) further.

Supernatural: Bad Day At Black Rock
(S03E03) And with that, the fine folks over at Supernatural HQ have gone 3 for 3. This week there weren't any strange creatures or escaped demons causing trouble for the boys, but that didn't stop them from having a very entertaining adventure. We got a little comedy, the much anticipated return of an old foe, and the introduction of another interesting new character. What's not to like?
Ok, I do have one small complaint with this episode, so let's get that one out of the way first. I would have preferred that they didn't have our pal Gordon (Sterling K. Brown) in the opening. I get that it's supposed to lay the groundwork for what's to come, but it kind of blew the surprise of having him pop back up. I know, that's really picking at the nit, which goes to show just how good the rest of the episode really was.
Since we're already talking about Gordon... I was so happy to see him back. That is a great character and I'm very much looking forward to his inevitable escape from prison. It really does make for a great showdown once he catches up with Sam and Dean. Because, as he told Kubric twice, "Sam Winchester must die." There is just no way that meeting can go down without a fight. It's also interesting how the opening of the gate played right into his theory about Sam. More fuel for the Sam-hunting fire. They really did get a lot of mileage out of Gordon in very limited screen time.
Initially I wasn't sure about his little buddy Kubric (Michael Massee). He's growing on me though, and I think his whole "I'm on a mission from God." delusion could actually pay off with some interesting angles as we move along. It's a nice bit of casting as well. Michale Massee has been in a ton of stuff, and this kind of character is right in his wheelhouse. I look for him to travel down an increasingly crazy path, with Gordon humoring him as long as it works to his advantage, as we saw in his less than impressed reaction when Kubric told him that his mission is what brought him on board. Creedy (Jon Van Ness) does come across as a little more expendable. Once Gordon is back in action, I would look for bad times to befall Creedy.
Also this week, we continue to learn more about John. His storage unit full of hunting spoils was a bit convenient, but in thinking about it, it made pretty good sense. Being at the job for as long as he was, it stands to reason that he would amass a goodly amount of spiritual flotsam and jetsam. I was left with a question regarding the break in though, why just the rabbit's foot? Both the thieves, and Bela, passed up a whole shed full of potential profits. With the thieves, the gunshot wound may have been motivation to move quickly. Why Bela didn't request any other artifacts puzzles me though. Possibly because she knows the dangers and isn't willing to warehouse the stuff herself.
Ah yes, the lovely and talented Bela (Lauren Cohan). She's like Dean, if Dean were a really hot girl with a questionable moral center. She certainly is an interesting addition to the story. My guess is we'll see this situation play out again in the future, where the boys need an artifact but Bela has designs on selling it. It's all very reminiscent of Angel needing the Axis Of Pythia and fighting with Gwen to get it, which is a good thing I think. If you are going to echo plots from another show, Angel is a good one to work with. But here's hoping that Bela has a little more staying power than Gwen did. Also, I can't help but be curious how a meeting between Ruby and Bela is going to play out. It should be fun. And, of course, Dean won't be forgetting about that $46,000 any time soon.
As to the rabbit's foot, it was a solid plot to drive the hour. I think the bigger picture stuff overshadowed it, because that's the real treat to Supernatural, but there was a lot of fun to be had with the story. While the fight scene where Sam actually picked up the foot was well done, the real fun came in watching Sam struggle with his new found bad luck. Just randomly falling down, knocking things over, the hotel fire, it was all very funny. For me though, the best of those bits was the sheepish look on Sam's face as he confessed to Dean, "I lost my shoe."
There was also a quick little bit at the beginning of the show that caught my attention. When the boys were driving the car and Dean asked Sam if he was feeling ok. I took that as another reference back to the yellow eyed demon's question about whether or not this is 100% grade-a Sammy that Dean brought back. The fact that they keep hinting at that idea leads me to believe that at some point this season we are going to get some very dark Sam stuff, and that holds a lot of potential.
So, wrapping up, high marks all around. The Supernatural team is laying some pretty heavy groundwork at this point, but it seems to be heading in a very good direction. Ruby, Gordon, Bela, and add in the expanded role of Bobby and we really have something to look forward to.

Breast ultrasound
Breast ultrasound is a test that uses sound waves to examine the breasts.
Alternative Names
Ultrasonography of the breast; Sonogram of the breast
How the Test is Performed
You will be asked to undress from the waist up. You will be given a gown to wear.
During the test, you will lie on your back on an examining table.
The doctor or nurse will place a gel on the breast skin. A hand-held device, called a transducer, is moved over the breast area. You will be asked to raise your arms above your head and turn to the left or right as needed.
The device sends sound waves to the breast tissue. The sound waves help create a picture that can be seen on a computer screen.
The number of people involved in the test will be limited to protect your privacy.
How to Prepare for the Test
You may want to wear a two-piece outfit, so you do not have to completely undress.
On the day of the test, do not use any lotion or powder on your breasts. Do not use deodorant under your arms. Remove jewelry from your neck and chest area.
How the Test will Feel
This test usually does not cause any discomfort.
Why the Test is Performed
Breast ultrasound is usually ordered when more information is needed after other tests are done. These tests may include mammogram or breast MRI.
Your health care provider may order this test if you have:
- A breast lump found during a breast exam
- An abnormal mammogram
- Clear or bloody nipple discharge
A breast ultrasound can help:
- Tell the difference between a solid mass or a cyst
- Look for a growth if you have clear or bloody fluid coming from your nipple
- Breast ultrasound may also be used to guide a needle during a breast biopsy
Normal Results
A normal result means the breast tissue appears normal.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Ultrasound can help show noncancerous growths such as:
- Cysts -- fluid-filled sacs
- Fibroadenomas -- noncancerous solid growths
- Lipomas -- noncancerous fatty lumps that can occur anywhere in the body, including the breasts
Breast cancers can also be seen with ultrasound.
Follow-up tests to determine treatment may be needed:
- Breast lump removal (lumpectomy)
- Open (surgical) breast biopsy
- Stereotactic breast biopsy
- Ultrasound-guided breast biopsy
There are no risks associated with breast ultrasound. There is no radiation exposure.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Women's Basketball team couldn't overcome a 44-19 disadvantage on the scoreboard in the second half and dropped their season opener to nationally-ranked Carthage College 80-44 in Flood Arena on Friday night.
The Lady Reds came into the game ranked ninth in the d3hoops.com pre-season poll and 11th in the USA Today/ESPN Top 25 pre-season poll.
Beloit hung fairly close with CC through the first half, with the lead at only 24-15 with 6:43 remaining before the break on two Diana Sopkowicz free throws. But the Lady Reds went on a 12-4 run over the next five minutes to stretch their lead to 36-19 with 1:34 left. Carthage led 36-25 at the break.
The Buccaneers pulled back to within nine at 36-27 just over 30 seconds into the second half on a Kandace Fox three-pointer but the Lady Reds took off on a big 20-2 run over the next seven minutes to move up by 27 midway through the half at 56-29. Diana Jacklin had eight points for CC during the run while Cailee Corcoran scored seven.
Beloit would get no closer than 23 the rest of the way. The biggest Carthage lead came with 1:44 left at 78-39.
Fox and Sopkowicz led the Bucs with eight points apiece. Jacklin paced the Lady Reds with 18 while also grabbing a game-high eight rebounds. Corcoran added 12 and Dani Ripkey 10.
The Buccaneers have a few days off before hitting the road next Tuesday, traveling just down I39 to face stateline neighbor Rockford College. Tipoff is at 7:00 p.m.

Are you having trouble sleeping at night? Do you find yourself "nodding off" during work, or having trouble falling asleep at bedtime? Maybe your spouse experiences the same problems or suffers because of your sleeping problems.

The Associated Press reported that environmental groups say plans are in the works to bring oil by pipeline from western Canada to Montreal and then to Portland. Critics say tar sands, or oil sands, oil is so corrosive, acidic and thick that it's more likely to spill than conventional crude oil and that would put rivers, lakes and streams at risk in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, according to AP.

Communication centers on the study of the word - spoken, printed, translated - however transmitted. Study includes a thorough grounding in the conceptual, theoretical and ethical dimensions of discourse, as well as the development of skills and proficiencies in the practical application of communication principles. The goals are to understand human message sending and receiving processes, to evaluate critically language and evidence and to manage effectively the expression of ideas.
Communication studies are the inheritor of a long and honored tradition. Since the ancient Greeks, the study of rhetoric (the art of effective discourse) has been recognized as a vital pillar of human learning. It formed one of the seven liberal arts of education in medieval Europe. Modern communication studies focus on persuasion, personal development organizational and group dynamics and human relations in a multicultural, multilingual world. Despite technological advances over the centuries, the word remains central to human life.
The faculty is committed to the continual assessment of our programs, to ensure that our students develop communication competencies sought by business, industry, government, education and the professions. Communication studies can provide the basis for a productive career and a rewarding personal life.
A major in communication offers an array of career opportunities in such fields as public communication, television, radio, journalism and public relations. In the education process, emphasis is placed on media convergence exemplified by speaking and writing skills as well as gaining technical knowledge related to mass media production and publication. A major in communication is one of the most diversified areas of study available to students who wish to excel in business, industry, government or education at the local, state, national and international levels. Missouri Southern graduates in communication have found successful careers in the media, in government, in education and in a variety of public relations positions for hospitals, state and national associations, in retailing and in industry.
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in communication have three options. Option I: Speech Communication, examines the role of human communication in social organizational, political and cultural interactions. This option places a balanced focus on the theory and practice of communicating. Special emphasis includes identifying the antecedents of communication, its form and content and its consequences. Option II: Mass Communications, offers students the necessary abilities in planning, preparing and producing programs in electronic media and/or designing and writing for journalism. This option emphasizes the technical skills, creativity and demand for understanding target audiences in mass media. Students gain hands-on experience in television, radio and print laboratories. Option III: Public Relations, allows a student to develop a specialty focusing on the aspects of promoting and showcasing organizations. Also available is a Bachelor of Science degree in Education with a teaching emphasis in Speech Communication and Theatre.
The curriculum for speech communication and theatre education is a joint effort by the Department of Teacher Education, the Department of Communication, and the Department of Theatre.

The infamous Pirate Bay was taken offline yesterday thanks to the sustained efforts of the big corporate content creators. This wasn't something new for the BitTorrent indexer and, like each time before, the site is now back online with the help of a brand-new ISP. Who would be willing to take on the task after all the previous providers were attacked by the MPAA or the RIAA? Well, surprisingly perhaps, it's the Pirate Party, the political group that doesn't, or rather, didn't have any affiliation with the site until now.
The Pirate Bay is back up and sailing at full speed (you can't have a Pirate Bay report without some nautical reference). Everything should be working fine and people around the world should be able to access the site at this point. The Pirate Bay went back online earlier this morning sporting a lolcat picture instead of the usual logo with a message for 'interested' parties.
The lolcat pic was accompanied by a blog post in the charming lolspeak, a true symbol of web 2.0. There's even an 'encoded' message that we'll leave you to discover for yourselves.
"PLZ LEARN: TPB CANT BE SHUT DOWN LOL! AS U MITE HAS READ OR NOTICD, PEEPS ONCE AGAIN R TRYIN 2 SHUT US DOWN. DIS WILL NOT SUCCED, LOL. OURS RLY NICE WEBHOST WUZ THREATEND WIF RLY HUGE FINE, SO WE DECIDD 2 MOOV TEH SIET SO DAT THEY DIDNT GOT INTO TROUBLE, LOL. TEH DECISHUN 2 MOOV WUZ TAKEN BY US, TEH PIRATE BAY, LOL," the blog post signed by a Dr LOLCAT read.
"TEH PIRATE BAY IZ AN UNSINKABLE SHIP. IT WILL SAIL TEH INTERWEBS 4 AS LONG AS WE WANTS IT 2. REMEMBR DAT, K THX. TPB, ONLY IN IT 4 TEH LULZ SINCE 2003," it added.
It's not the first time the site has run into this kind of trouble, but what makes this 'resurface' special is the site's new ISP. The Swedish Pirate Party, the original one, said it was tired of "Hollywood's cat-and-mouse game with the Pirate Bay," so it decided to step in. The party will provide bandwidth for the site as it believes the attempts to bring it down are "nothing less than political censorship," as Rick Falkvinge, the founder and leader of the Pirate Party, told Torrentfreak.
The party, despite its name, has no official affiliation with the site. It became particularly popular after the ruling in the Pirate Bay trial and has managed to get seats in the Swedish Parliament in elections last year. Since then, similar political parties have popped up around the world. The party's main ideals are copyright and patent law reform and it fights for online freedom and privacy.

Danny Gallivan
|Danny Gallivan
April 11, 1917
Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada
|February 24, 1993
(aged 75)
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
|Radio and television sportscaster
Danny Gallivan (April 11, 1917 – February 24, 1993) was a Canadian radio and television broadcaster and sportscaster.
Early life[edit]
Born in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Gallivan began his broadcast career at a local radio station in Antigonish, Nova Scotia while attending St. Francis Xavier University. While at St. Francis Xavier, he was once roommates with Hollywood film director Daniel Petrie. He taught high school algebra and Latin in Antigonish following graduation and took a stint in the Canadian Army before returning to continue his broadcasting career.
Hockey Night in Canada[edit]
In 1946, Gallivan moved to a radio station in Halifax where he became sports director. He was spotted by a CBC producer of Hockey Night in Canada while in Montreal to broadcast a junior hockey playoff between Halifax and Montreal and was asked to fill in for a sick announcer in 1950.
In 1952, Gallivan began a 32-year stint with Hockey Night in Canada, mostly calling games involving the Montreal Canadiens, before retiring after the 1983–84 season. Immediately after Bill Hewitt was forced to retire in 1982, Gallivan motored (for a time) to Toronto to announce mid-week Maple Leaf games – he announced the night when Rick Vaive scored his 50th goal of the season, a first in Maple Leaf history. Gallivan did play-by-play for at least 1,900 regular season and playoff matches, including 16 Stanley Cup victories for the Canadiens.[1] His colour commentator for many of those years was Dick Irvin, Jr., from the 1960s up to Gallivan's retirement in 1984.
On October 9, 1970, he had the distinction of announcing the Vancouver Canucks' first-ever game in the NHL, a 3–1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on CKNW radio.
Colourful descriptions[edit]
Gallivan was known for his colourful descriptions of action on the ice. Hard shots became "cannonading drives"; saves were "scintillating", "larcenous" or "enormous" rather than merely spectacular; and, after a save, pucks tended to get caught in a goalie's "paraphernalia" (goalie equipment). If the goaltender made a fantastic or impossible save, he would refer to it as a "hair raising save" or that the goalie "kicked out his pad in rapier-like fashion" to foil a "glorious scoring opportunity". He would use words such as "anemic" to describe an ineffective offence or powerplay. He also coined phrases like "nowhere near the net", when a shot would go wide, comment that "there has not been a multitudinous amount of shots" to describe a game with a "dire dearth" of shots on net, would mention that a defender was "wasting valuable seconds in the penalty" when they were ragging the puck, and would almost always announce, "and the penalty has expired!" at the end of a penalty. Passes from the corner and through the crease area would always feature Gallivan shouting "centred right out in front!!". The ultimate Gallivanism was a word he coined: the "spinarama," which described a player evading a check or when a player would deke a defender with a sudden 180- or 360-degree turn. Its chief practitioner was Montreal Canadien Serge Savard so that the move was also known as "The Savardian Spinarama". Many players were also known to "dipsy-doodle" with the puck, or come out of their own zone "rather gingerly". When a university professor wrote to Gallivan protesting that there was no such word as "cannonading", Gallivan wrote back: "There is now." The Canadian Oxford Dictionary now includes an entry for "spinarama".
Like many hockey announcers, he would often shout whenever a goal was scored, louder with the Montreal Canadiens. On the down-side, his style was unmodulated, nearly always intense, so that a goal or near-goal towards the end of a 7-1 game sounded very similar to that of a 2-1 game.
Later life[edit]
Gallivan was active in retirement, working with several charities, and was the recipient of several television/broadcast industry awards. He made a cameo appearance in the 1975 Canadian feature film The Million Dollar Hockey Puck. Gallivan also had a cameo as the voice of sportcaster Ferlin Fielddigger in the 1981 animated TV special, The Raccoons On Ice.
Honours and awards[edit]
- 1974 - ACTRA Sportscaster of the Year Award [1]
- 1984 - Hockey Hall of Fame Media Honouree [1]
- 1985 - St. Francis Xavier University bestowed upon him an honorary Doctor of Laws Degree [1]

The Bibi Proposal That Led to Kadima's Departure from Coalition
Haaretz explains why Mofez decided to remove his Kadiam party from the Bibi coalition: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu submitted early Tuesday afternoon what he termed a new and far-reaching legislative proposal intended to resolve the quarrel between Likud and Kadima regarding the wording of a new law which would equalize the burden of army service. The document was forwarded by Netanyahu confidant attorney David Shimron to attorney Alon Gellert, who has represented Kadima in talks between the parties. Sources close to the negotiations claimed that the proposal is intended to partly accept Kadima's demand that Haredim up to age 23 be drafted.
According to the Netanyahu proposal, the oldest age at which ultra-Orthodox would be drafted into the army will be 23. At the same time, incentives will be granted to Haredim who enlist at age 18. However, based on the Netanyahu proposal, young Haredim would be able to continue to push off their draft: Anyone who does not enlist until age 23 will not be able to enlist into the army, but only into an operational civil service that would include firefighting units, Magen David Adom, the Israel Police and the Prisons Service.
Mofaz rejected the prime minister's proposal, which was submitted this morning. "Based on the proposal that was rejected, between the ages 18-23, for a lengthy period of time, only 50 percent of target subjects for the military draft would be drafted. Whereas 50 percent of those subject to the draft at ages 23-26 would be directed toward civil service," Mofaz explained. "Netanyahu's proposal contradicts the ruling of the High Court of Justice, does not conform to the principle of equality, is disproportionate and does not meet the tests of effectiveness that are set down in the High Court's ruling, or the principles of the committee on equalizing the burden of IDF service. Let's make this clear: We are referring to enlistment targets that do not include all of those eligible for the draft, and we are therefore countenancing a 'word- laundering' that in effect leaves the situation as it was."
A senior Kadima official stated in response that the proposal is complete rubbish. "This is the same proposal that has been sent to us before, one time through (Ya'alon) and another time through (Ze'ev) Elkin. There is no compulsory draft here up to age 23."

The Smashing Pumpkins website has posted a wonderful interview with Frank Olinsky, the art director responsible for developing the group's album covers from 1995 through 1999. Olinsky explains his role as an art director and shares some original sketches by Billy Corgan that provided the concepts behind many of the band's covers.
Thru the Eyes of Frank Olinsky
June 12, 2009
Frank Olinsky is the art director behind the extravagant and intricate packaging that accompanied all of the Pumpkins' official releases between 1995 and 1999. From Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness to the singles that supported Adore, he oversaw the creative process that led to some of the most visually engaging albums in the band's discography. He has also worked with R.E.M., Sonic Youth, Duran Duran, and Philip Glass, just to name a few, and helped co-create the chameleon-like logo and original look of MTV.
I caught up with Mr. Olinsky to talk about his time working with the Pumpkins, and just what exactly an art director is.
For more information about Frank Olinsky, check out his blog at http://frankolinsky.blogspot.com/. You will find lots of great examples of his work and cool personal stories like this:
I still can't believe I actually worked with David Bowie, Brian Eno and Philip Glass together on one project. The package design for Philip's Heroes Symphony, based on the music from the Bowie and Eno album Heroes, began as rough sketches on a napkin. (Yes, it is true that some really good ideas begin as rough sketches on napkins.)

Saturday, July 30, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
FLOWERY BRANCH -- After getting shredded by Aaron Rodgers, the Atlanta Falcons knew they needed to get more pressure on the quarterback.
Enter Ray Edwards.
The Falcons welcomed their new defensive end to training camp Saturday and can't wait to get him out on the field alongside John Abraham, who essentially had to go it alone last season when it came to rushing the passer.
Atlanta ranked 20th in the league with 31 sacks -- and Abraham had 13 of those. The other end, Kroy Biermann, managed only three.
Edwards should be a major upgrade, totaling 16.5 sacks the last two years with the Minnesota Vikings. He agreed to a five-year, $30-million contract with the Falcons that includes a guarantee of $11 million.
''I think me and Abraham are definitely going to be a great tandem,'' Edwards said after watching an afternoon practice from the sideline, decked out in a new red-and-black Falcons cap. ''We'll work on playing off each other and causing a lot of havoc.''
The Falcons could've used Edwards back in January. After winning the NFC South and going into the playoffs with home-field advantage, they were routed 48-21 by Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, the eventual Super Bowl champions.
Rodgers threw for 366 yards and continually spun away from Biermann and anyone else trying to get a hand on him. The Packers didn't have to punt the entire game, picking apart a defense that had largely managed to hide its biggest deficiency during a 13-3 regular season.
''We missed a lot of sacks in that game,'' safety William Moore said. ''Bringing a guy like Edwards in, that's what he does. He's a great addition to this team.''
While one player can't do it all, Edwards' impact should trickle down to the rest of the defense, making everyone a little better.
He'll certainly be welcomed by the guys in the secondary, who shouldn't have to cover opposing receivers quite as long with Edwards and Abraham bearing down on the quarterback.
''We needed some help. We needed to help Abe out,'' said Roddy White, the Falcons' top receiver. ''We've got to rush the quarterback, keep those guys in the pocket, get some sacks. It's a lot easier to cover people for two seconds rather than three or four seconds.''
All eyes will be on Atlanta's defense, which is seen as the weaker link next to an offense loaded with weapons.
The Falcons bolstered the offense even more by trading up to draft receiver Julio Jones, who joins a unit that already included White, quarterback Matt Ryan, running back Michael Turner and tight end Tony Gonzalez.
But Mike Smith thinks this might be the best defense he's had in four seasons as Atlanta's coach. Edwards joins a group that should have back every starter from last season, including up-and-comers Curtis Lofton, Sean Weatherspoon and Brent Grimes.
''I think it's very strong,'' Smith said. ''You've got to go play the games, of course, but I'm very pleased with the way this is coming together for us. When we first got here, we said it was a process. It's always a process. You're never going to have the perfect roster, but you're always striving for that.''
White is convinced the defense will carry its share of the load in 2011.
''We're going to get a lot more sacks, which means we're getting a lot more pressure, which means we're getting a lot more interceptions,'' the star receiver said.
The 26-year-old Edwards was a fourth-round pick by the Vikings in 2006 and ran into problems the following year, violating the league's steroid policy. He received a four-game suspension and admitted taking a workout supplement without checking to see if it was on the banned list.
Bouncing back from that mistake, Edwards had a breakout year in 2009 with 8.5 sacks as the Vikings made the playoffs.
Now, he's ready for a new start with a once-downtrodden franchise that has put together three straight winning seasons and two playoff appearances. Both trips to the postseason were one-and-done, leaving the Falcons with a very clear goal: Super Bowl or bust.
Playing in the NFC North, Edwards got to face Rodgers twice a season. He had no trouble remembering how many times he's sacked the Super Bowl MVP (twice last year, six times in his career) and looks forward to facing him again on Oct. 9, when the Packers visit the Georgia Dome.
''I'm definitely coming to a great team,'' Edwards said. ''I feel like I'm the missing piece.''

TJ Cycles Frame 1979
TJ Cycles (Trevor Jarvis Flying Gate) Frame.
Serial # 83239(?). Number carved by hand in the bottom bracket. Reynolds 531 DB. I assume this is a 1983 build. Dovedale lugs and Reynolds 531 ST tubing. The Trevor Jarvis Flying Gate was a copy of a Baines Flying Gate model made from 1936-1954. The Trevor Jarvis model was made from 1979 and continues today.
This bike belongs to Ken Wallace.
