despite several scary moments for children (for whom, i am assuming, the movie was made for) - which were dealing with the mad scientist and a long needle pointed towards underdog - this movie was a little on the hilarious light side. i suppose there is nothing religious about it - but it does show the idea of justice and compassion - which i like. the ending is quite just. and it's quite funny when underdog starts rhyming everything he says. ps i wanted to go to 'no resevations' but ended up with this kids movie. i actually enjoyed it. next time - i will sneak away to see what i want to see. has anyone seen 'no reservations?' what did they think of it?
must be x-rated - it won't come up. rimv2 - you really should behave yourself.
how did this get in my underdog thread?
i believe that the constellation was God's early way of explaining time and 'aons' or ages - but in a much different way. it is only interpreted by humans one way - but by God another.for one thing - he created the sun and moon for seasons - and then He gives his own months which (if you read the OT calendars) are lunar - not solar.
and, sargon - most likely was no other than NIMROD - who began a false religion to counter the true religion and worship of the true God.
abraham was a follower of the true God - so to find out truth - one must search for relevant things according to God's word. one would be the accurate calendar and times for worship. Dec 25th was never a given date in the bible for the worship of God. in fact, harvest time was much more important. if you travel to israel - you will notice the festival of sukkot is not december 25th - but rather - sometime in september/early oct. when the harvest that God allowed (via the sun he created) is harvested. symbolic of the harvest of mankind at the judgement (wheat and tares, etc).
so, take a look at the back of the companion bible
and figure for yourself when Jesus Christ actually was born. we know the course of abia had something to do with it - which was actually recorded.
and, we know that 'shepherds were abiding in the fields.'
now, some say that is completely possible in israel in december
albeit quite a bad time for a baby to be born
Sept. 11th is what I heard.
and, though i can't remember the year - possible 4 or 3 BC. (to avoid the wrath of the herod - who killed - supposedly - all the baby boys under 2 years of age).
God even predicted this to happen (the birth of Christ) back in Isaiah - and also his death. that He would be 'cut off' in the middle of the week. which - when you look at when Jesus died - was probably a wednesday - and risen three days later. wed evening crux night/ thur thur night/friday friday night/saturday risen before the sun on sunday. he was gone. out of the tomb when mary and the other mary came to see the tomb. 'as it began to dawn....' he wasn't IN the tomb on sunday. in fact, he was ressurrected before 'it began to dawn.'
now, i'll look for the site which explains in modern terms some of the symbology of the astrological figures in terms of God's own story he may have given to abraham and also to other saints, like joseph - who may have shared some of it with the egyptians - countering their beliefs that the sun was a god at all. and, that the seasons were entirely dependent upon crops - which joseph saved the egyptians from extinction by understanding the dream of pharoah (the understanding given to him by God) - and letting pharoah know that God stands alone - apart from His creation. and that it is not the sun that helps mankind survive - but God.
horus is a figment of the egyptians imagination and not truly a real being.
godammit people you can't pregnant dog about susan changing the topic to religion when you're purposefully egging her on.
Anyway, looking forward to Super Bad with Michael Cera of Arrested Development. Also waiting for Kung Pow 2 (which comes out in 2008) and the Arrested Development Movie (which is supposed to come out 2009). Might see Balls of Fury.Arrested Development- top rated TV show on IMDB beating out Family Guy, Simpsons, Seinfeld, Frasier, Friends, Will and Grace, Daily Show etc. 5 emmy noms in the first season alone.
Fox cancels it =/ *** idiot Fox demographic ._.
yes. but, who's actually came first. you see,
God had this idea of salvation from the beginning
i believe even the constellations were renamed and assigned from what God originally designated.
perhaps they were a reminder to those who understood - that God has a plan of salvation and it's written entirely in the sky
including the star (angel) that led the wise men to the place of Jesus birth. the stars serve God's pupose - and the popul vuh is a figment of ancient men's superstition.
and the popul vuh is a figment of ancient men's superstition.
dance around with the popul vuh if you think you are more advanced, too, then.
as i see it - you have a choice.
i'm not taking the choice away from you.
i'm just saying - do you want to look stupid?
incantations are what elijah proved the followers of baal were doing in vain.
just muttering incantations is not advanced thinking.
try a religion that gets results.
ps tell me if this makes any sense whatsoever to you.
there are many ways to satan and only one way to God. Jesus Christ.
as mentioned abov e- sunworship is a good indication that it's not the one true God one is worshipping. rather, a false god. one the mayans actually sacrificed children and virgins to. you can see from the beginning - they adopt many religious ideas into this religion. it's basically 'let's see what works.' there are recipies like this.
i believe that the epic of gilgamesh started this whole wierded out bible story thing. genesis 10:10 mentions babel and erech (urak) where gilgamesh ruled. (another name for nimrod). and accad and calneh, in the land of shinar. now, the popul vuh mentions Nim-Ac or nimrod-of accad and nim-tziis or nimrod who knew of the 'bread of life' or worship of the one who holds the 'four corners' of the earth - mentioned in the popul vuh as being created - and substituted himself for this bread.
nimrod was no other than sargon I - of these previous cities - and the sumerians paid tribute to the 'skies' (sun, moon, stars, planets) with sacrifice of their children. the tower of babel was echoed by the aztecs, mayans, and incas - and nimrod's mother - semiramis gave women 'power' of creation as well with fertility and the accompanying rites. tammuz was the 'reincarnated' nimrod - (whom semiramis deified as the 'sungod') after nimrod was killed by a wild boar. actually, i think it was 'seth' who killed nimrod - but in any case - he died and semiramis kept his name going. ps i believe the reference to the early beings in the popul vuh refer directly to demons - who lost their love of God and praising him and became like wood, but were not created from wood. without love to God or the other angels who worship the true God. they were not first 'men' - but first 'beings' created with manlike features and yet 'without blood.'also, i believe that ezekiel mentions satan as falling like lightening. thus, the reference in various places to the lightening, the various jewels that surrounded satan when he was created in beauty, and his old name 'lucifer' - light bringer - was the depiction of a 'good god' - and one that he wanted to maintain with this 'emerald-like' image of himself. ezekiel 28:13 'you were in eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering; the ruby, the topaz, and the diamond; the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the lapis lazuli, the turquoise, and the emerald; and the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets was in you, on the day that you were created they were prepared.'
dance around with the popul vuh if you think you are more advanced, too, then. as i see it - you have a choice. i'm not taking the choice away from you. i'm just saying - do you want to look stupid? incantations are what elijah proved the followers of baal were doing in vain. just muttering incantations is not advanced thinking. try a religion that gets results.
How indeed? - although I am rather more inclined to ask myself WHY...There's some seriously lunatic stuff here that is full of solecisms...So should I assume that you skip over Variation IX whenever you listen to Elgar's Enigma Variations, then?...Rather more chaff than wheat here, it would seem...The what?I'm not actually all that bothered about the precise date, frankly.Well, now there's an esoteric deduction! Shepherds throughout history have rather tended towards working in fields, you know...Do they? Who does? And, rather more importantly, what is?Who says so? And why? I admit that my knowledge of babies is vastly less than yours, but why would there be good times and bad times for birth on a calendar basis alone?What? You mean that 9/11 wasn't even original?Christ was born possibly 3 or 4 years before the birth of Christ, then; well, that's just a starting example for the kind of confused thinking, obfuscation and the rest that continues to beleaguer this entire business.You know, you write all this detail with such apparent confidence that one might almost be forgiven for assuming that you were there right from the time that God predicted the birth of Christ in Isaiah (why and how did He do it there? - and was Isaiah not capable of thinking and writing for himself?). It's all a STORY, Susan - just that; no more and no less."God's own story"? By your own admission, God was not a storyteller and, it seems, He was capable of putting across ideas only via the mouthpieces of others. So the sun does nothing to help in the survival of mankind? Well, that's really aboyut as nonsensical as you yet got, Susan. How can you even think such a thing, let alone write it?And what has all of this to do with anything under a dog? God is "dog" backwards, admittedly, but I cannot see it going a whole lot farther than that. I am reminded of Groucho Marx's statement that ran something along the lines of "outside of a dog, a book is the greatest thing; inside of a dog, it's too dark to make any difference" (he didn't say what it might be like under one)...(Waits for Santa Susanna to start addressing "ahinton"...)Best,Alistair
It is bad enough that you trumpet the bilge you believe in, but it is even worse when you try to diminish other religious writings.The major reason why the cultures and beliefs of Ancient South America did not survive, is because the bead juggling morons of 16th Century Europe did their best to wipe an entire race and belief system off the face of the Earth. People were torturted and killed, ancient religious texts were burned, idols and other artefacts were melted down to extract the gold.This is how Chrisianity used to operate. If someone has a belief other than your own, destroy them.The rest of your post is demented and is not worth commenting on.Thal
i really have no opinion on face painting and spear blowing. but, to sacrifice women and children (up to 10,000 per year) is an advanced civilization? whew. i think i know why you like it. men ruled. and, they made up stories as they went along. cortez probably killed them for the gold - not their religion. although, montezuma knew that the christian God hated human sacrifice and thought cortez was his incarnation. if they were an 'advanced civilization' - why did cortez win when his side (the conquistadors) were outnumbered 1000 to 1? all they did was fire some rounds of rocket propelled rocks and they kept coming - so they fired more. montezuma was killed by his own people - but not before cortez had kidnapped him once and told him the terms that he wanted peace by. he never agreed and that's why his own people killed him.
all they did was fire some rounds of rocket propelled rocks and they kept coming - so they fired more.
That you read an entire pianistissimo post - phenomenal!That you dissected and responded to each piece individually - well that's just sick
Pianistimo, you seem to be proving a notion I had about people of faith rationalizing rather than accepting truth. Ask yourself, "what if this information is true? What if the religion I follow is nothing more than a recycled idea"? I asked myself that question. My theory of time loops makes more sense than what you are saying. And that's not a good thing. Your belief is your belief. I can't question that. I can, however, question why you don't question it.
It is a waste of time to argue with a brick wall.
The woman actually thought the Spanish used rocket propelled rocks against the South American natives.It is not possible to debate with that level of ignorance.Thal
