Thank you for your time

[dragons08]

yes thank you..whats this thread about?

[lonny23]

God is in control. He wants our love and fellowship.

[LUFPAN]

I agree, Thank You God for this time...and everything else I have.

Its not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit saith the Lord.

Everything that is good in my life comes from God.

GOD IS THE MAAAAAAAAN!


Creating the universe.......and the Earth!? That's quite nice of him......if anyone doubts religion watch the Discovery Channel's program about the formation of the Earth. The Earth's being here and habitable for us makes me really believe that we are SUPPOSED to be here....so we need to do the best we can while we are.

[KatyTigerDad0407]

Religion is for those afraid of going to hell.

Spirituality is for those who have been there and want out.

[slorch]

God hates religion


think about it...

If God was here.....would he want to "Kick it" with you?;)

[Miss Kitty]

Did God create everything that exists? Does evil exist? Did God
create evil?

A University professor at a well known institution of higher
learning challenged his students with this question. "Did God create
everything that exists?" A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!"

"God created everything?" The professor asked.

"Yes sir, he certainly did," the student replied.

The professor answered, "If God created everything; then God
created evil. And, since evil exists, and according to the principal that
our works define who we are, then we can assume God is evil." >>
The student became quiet and did not answer the professor's
hypothetical definition. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to
the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was
a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said, "May I ask you a
question, professor?"

"Of course", replied the professor.

The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"

"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you
never been cold?" The other students snickered at the young man's question.

The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist.
According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the
absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or
transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or
transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460F) is the total absence of
heat; and all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that
temperature. Cold does not exist.
We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no
heat."

The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"

The professor responded, "Of course it does."

The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does
not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light
we can study, but not darkness In fact, we can use Newton's prism to
break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of
each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a
world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain
space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this
correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there
is no light present"

Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"
Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course, as I have
already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily examples of man's
inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence
everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but
evil.

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist, sir, or at
least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It
is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the
absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what
happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart.
It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat, or the darkness that
comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.

The young man's name -- Albert Einstein

Awesome post miss kitty!

[ktfiend]

Please don't take offense if you are in one of the mentioned services. I appreciate each and every one of our service men and women.

It's just a joke (and since my son is in USMC boot, I thought it was funny)-----

In the beginning was the word, and the word was God. In the beginning was God, and all else was darkness and void, and without form. so God created the heavens and the Earth. He created the sun, and the moon, and the stars, so that light might pierce the darkness. The Earth, God divided between the land and the sea, and filled with many assorted creatures.

And the dark, salty, slimy creatures that inhabited the murky depths of the oceans, God called sailors. And he dressed them accordingly. They had little trousers that looked like bells at the bottom. And their shirts had cute little flaps on them to
hide the hickeys on their necks. He also gave them long sideburns and shabby looking beards. God nicknamed them "squids" and banished them to a lifetime at sea, so that normal folks would not have to associate with them. To further identify these unloved creatures, he called them "petty" and "commodore", instead of titles worthy of red-blooded men.

And the flaky creatures of the land, God called soldiers. And with a twinkle in his eye, and a sense of humor that only he could have, God made their trousers too short and their covers too large. He also made their pockets oversized, so that they might warm their hands. And to adorn their uniforms, God gave them badges in quantities that only a dime store owner could appreciate. And he gave them emblems and crests...and all sorts of shiny thing that glittered...and devices that dangled. (When you're God you tend to get carried away).

On the 6th day, he thought about creating some air creatures for which he designed a Greyhound bus driver's uniform, especially for Air Farce flyboys. But he discarded the idea during the first week, and it was not until years later that some apostles resurrected this theme and established what we now know as the "wild blue yonder wonders."

On the 7th day, as you know, God rested. But on the 8th day, at 0730, God looked down upon the Earth and was not happy. God was not happy! So he thought about his labors, and in his divine wisdom God created a divine creature. And he called this creature a Marine. And these Marines, whom God had created in his own image, were to be of the air, and of the land, and of the sea. And these he gave many wonderful uniforms. Some were green, some were blue with red trim. And in the early days, some were even a beautiful tan. He gave them practical fighting uniforms, so that they could wage war against the forces of Satan and evil. He gave them service uniforms for their daily work and training. And he gave them evening and dress uniforms...sharp and stylish, handsome things, so that they might promenade with their ladies on Saturday night and impress everybody! He even gave them swords, so that people who were not impressed, could be dealt with accordingly.

And at the end of the 8th day, God looked down upon the Earth and saw that it was good. But was God happy? NO! God was still not happy! Because in the course of his labors, he had forgotten one thing. He did not have a Marine uniform for himself. But he thought about it, and thought about it, and finally satisfied in knowing that, well...not everybody can be a MARINE.

Yeah, God plays basketball and Satan plays hockey. I always wanted those guys to play each other. One of my great hopes for hockey was that Satan would play for the New Jersey Devils, but he never did. I used to see a guy at Devils games that had a 666 jersey.

I didn't say they are smart, I said they are smarter than the Army and I have to deal with all the branches. The Air Force is the smart group because we send officers into combat instead of enlisted. The Army and Marines get the same amount of money as me, but they get shot at.

Lonny = POGUE (VETS wil understand).

4 years in the Infantry. Airborne, Air Assault. I will admit to the Airforce guys beeing the smartest. They get much better training for life after the service than I could have ever hoped for. 4 years as a grunt and I was qualified to be a security guard (albeit one who was a SME on all Allied and Soviet equivalent anti-armour weapons).

Late at night while your a'sleeping

4 years of blowing things up for a living. It was great.

The Air Force is really just another form of Job Corps. 9 to 5 hrs. off on weekends. Hazardous duty pay to anyone doing a job that might get their uniform dirty. Those who are actually skinny enough to fit into the cockpits are made officers and sent out over the battlefield for the best observer seats in the house.:D

[lonny23]

I have all the respect in the world for all our branches. We each have our purpose in the grand scheme of things. I only know 1 or 2 Air Force people ever that wanted to switch branches, but I've heard a whole slew from the others saying they'd join the AF if they had it to do all over.

Is it true that they don't beleive in running because its bad for the Knees or is that just a rumor?

Many in the AF work long hours. Obviously, the way we set up bases and operations lend to a more normal lifestyle and that's what I like. You can't beat having a base camp to run your operations from instead of always being on the go on the land and sea. You need the land and sea element, but I'm happy staying in one place. They really do ask us to use our intellect and reasoning more in the Air Force instead of just waiting for orders from somebody else.

You run 1.5 miles, do pushups, do crunches, and they measure how big your waist is. You have to get a total score of 70 to pass. For a while, they had us doing a bike test instead of running, but that was because somebody died running in searing heat in New Mexico.

Yeah...that's what I heard. Something about riding a stationary bike and then checking your heart rate or something.

I actually flirted with all branches of the armed forces when I was a SR. I made them all take me to eat and to Rockets games.:D I turned down the Marines, Navy and Airforce because I didnt want a 4 year enlistment I went to the Army because of the 2 year option and got suckered into 4 anyway.

Everybody hated the bike test because there were so many holes it it. They would have you ride the bike for a few minutes and check your heart rate. They adjusted the resistance on the pedals by how much your heart rate was increasing and you needed more resistance to get a good score. Many really healthy people couldn't get a valid test because their heart rate couldn't get high enough. The smokers would smoke a cigarette right before getting on the bike to get a higher starting heart rate and subsequently get a higher resistance because their heart rate wouldn't jump up as much once they started pedaling.

I enjoy harassing all other branches of the service but I respect them all...even the Airforce. However, the use of intellect and reasoning is much more difficult on the frontline. Decisions there must be made instantly and they must be correct. We don't have the luxury of going to the library to read up on the subject, or consulting others before deciding. Intellect and reasoning is much sharper on the front than in the rear.

I said just recently that the Marines have to train people to take orders and execute because they're on the front line. There is no time to discuss or ask questions. You have to hope the person giving the orders does the right thing.

Thanks to all of you for making this board the place it is. And thanks to God for all of the above as well as everything else he has blessed me with. Mostly his patience and forgivness.
