Yeah, if your going to have a high speed crash on a motorcycle and break your back, at least have the decency to do it with a Honda Goldwing or a Harley. This way, when the guy that runs you off the road flees and your insurance doesn't have the exact coverage to cover such an event, you can be stuck with the hospital bill and the cost of a shredded bike.

Oh, wait, FR must be back up. Where is the delete button for this rant....

RE: This way, when the guy that runs you off the road

Road?

I don't use no stinkin' road.

The sidewalk is much safer. LOL

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

How is that different than polytheistic? Someone break that word down for me.....(please)

Well...maybe if you beg a little more...

Ok, i'll be generous, but don't get used to it.

A straight (or gay, what ever the case may be) Polytheist believes in and worships multiple Gods. Hindu's are an example of polytheists.

On the other hand, our beloved LDS "associates" believe in the existence of more than one God "There are Lords many and Gods many"...but they Worship only one God, who is the God of this planet.

henotheist

where's the prefix from? mean?

(beg, grovel, please...yada,yada, etc.)

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

Dave,

Ping to #77, Jean forgot you.

[CCWoody]

In hindsight, the sidewalk would have been safer than a major highway. The upside is that it simply wasn't my day to die.

[Wrigley]

You are right. The idea of Mormon Only, or Calvinist Only threads is nuts.



And I can't say that I would not post to a thread that purports to be Mormon Only.

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

Henotheistic -the word is a combination of two Greek words, (You need BSTGreek font to read this) eJnovß, which means one, and qeovß, which of course means God.

This is distinguished from monotheism which is also a combination of two Greek words, movnoß, which means only or unique. and the same word for God.

The difference between the two is that "henos" or one does not necessarily deny the existence of others, while monos certainly suggest one that is unique and the only kind of it's class.

i knew you were going to ask me the etymology of that word, it is your nature, you were Predestined to do it. ;^D

[CindyDawg]

BTW if you really want a private conversation you could try the SBR no one goes there willingly:>)

Well, ah, actually I do peek in there every once in awhile. :') Hasn't been too long ago since Dave returned either. You know that though, caz you were with us. lol How have you been doing? CD

[xzins]

I kept trying to come up with another english word with the prefix "heno" and couldn't do it. Still can't.

My greek is so old I don't even remember numbers, cardinal or ordinal.

This server slowdown is really annoying.

Yep, I'm among the chosen. No doubt about it.

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

i hope you are clear on that now

There are probably quite a few people here who are better at Greek than i am. My only real advantage is that i actually use it every day. Besides being a necessity in my studies, it is good practice, and is probably real good practice for a pastor (which i am not).

i have lost some of the languages that i am familiar with, Irish, French, German. You have to keep up with them. i still retain enough German to get by, but Irish would be hard for me to follow these days, haven't heard it since childhood.

[xzins]

My German is decent. It's street German but I can definitely get around the country. I had 3 years in high school years ago, but then 2 tours in Germany.

I can't read theology, but I can hold a conversation at the gasthaus. (My favorite in my last town: Die Kleine Felsenkeller. They had schnitzel tellers that were about 15 inches in diameter....jagerschnitzel, wiener, rahm,....this isn't fair. Ein grosse weizenbier und jagerschnitzel, bitte!!)

[snerkel]

i knew you were going to ask me the etymology of that word, it is your nature, you were Predestined to do it. ;^D

EEEEKKKKKKKK. Running away as fast as I can. LOL ;)

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

ich trinke Deutch Bier und esse Saubrauten gern! Wo wohnen Sie in Deutchland? ich wohne in Stuttgart und Bad Konstadt.

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

ain't goin there, private joke! You can breath now.

[xzins]

Hi Snerk.

REad through the thread. Tell me what you think? Calm, emotionless debate without disruption?

Do you think those who hold to a non-trinitarian god are worshipping a different God than those who worship a trinitarian God? I do.

[snerkel]

I thought you might find this useful. LOL

You are right. The idea of Mormon Only, or Calvinist Only threads is nuts.

It scares me when I agree with you twice in one week.

But you're right. I grew up in the South. In the 60s. Next thing you know, they'll be a delegation over here from The Guild demanding that some of us be bused over to the Mormon threads, that some of the Mormons be bused to the Catholic threads...

Your heart's in the right place xzins. But this isn't the answer.

[CCWoody]

Ich trinke Getränkbier von vielen Nationen, aber ich boykottiere snooty französischen Wein im Augenblick.

[xzins]

Wir hat in Bad Kreuznach gewohnen. Es war bei die Nahe und, vielleicht, nur zehn km aus die Rhein. Wissen sie wo Bingen oder Rudesheim am Rhein ist?

Wir hat die sehr besserer wein aus alles Deutchland! Und auch die bier war wunderbar.

Except for getting my genders and cases wrong, I do fairly well....at getting around the countryside. They're not letting me in Tubingen anytime soon. The main American fallback on articles sounded like "de"....a bastardization of der,die,das, dem,des...etc.

Who can remember that a tree is masculine (?) and a factory is feminine (?)....or vice versa...or whatever. Just say "de." The Germans would grin and bear it.
