in MsUnderestimated » Blog Archive » 24 Goes Nuclear - Reality (VIDEO) on MsUnderestimated
Actually, you will hear that Curtis is indeed dead next week. Sorry for the spoiler, but I couldn't resist shelling out 9 bucks this morning for the first 4 hours on DVD, which included the first 12 minutes of next weeks ep... relatively tame compared to what we saw in the first 4 hours.
As to the rest, America needs to wake up. Not just to the threat of nuclear terror, but to the fact that 'The People' don't really have much of a say anymore in American Politics. At the risk of sounding paranoid, most politicians don't give a rip about what their constituents think. What they DO care about are opinion polls, and the Media controls those.... We're rarely regarded as more than simple party-faithfuls who perform the tedious task of voting them back into office on election day. That's really the only time we're important. And it's our fault it's come to this.

in Prince Caspian on Chasing the Wind
Prince Caspian is Book 2, NOT 3, in the 7 book series-- assuming one is looking at the order in which they were written. Chronological order-- in terms of story line -- puts Prince Caspian in 4th position; Thusly....
The Magician's Nephew
The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
The Horse and His Boy
Prince Caspian
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Silver Chair
The Last Battle
I read this very same article and was appalled that a "professional" writer couldn't get the details of his story straight. Mistakes like this irk me to no end... Probably because I see these same kind of mistakes every day where I work.

in The Meaning of Christianity on Chasing the Wind
"...there was no NT Bible for several hundred years…"
The NT is not a collection of books [though that is what we call it], it is a collection [for the most part] of letters written to the various churches of the day, written through the inspiration of God. The early church didn't have a book-- and to be fair, the early church didn't have a "book" of the OT; the word "book" is a modern convention --like the OT, but they did have letters. And who's to say the church at Philippi didn't have copies of letters written to the church in Rome or Colosse? And vis a vis? The early church knew EXACTLY what defined a Christian. The letters of Paul, and other Apostles, were, and are merely instuctions for Christian living and Christian duty, with a heavy dose of prophecy mixed in.
A Christian doesn't need a physical Bible in his/her hand to become a Christian... only "ears to hear" the Gospel. Nor does a Christian need a physical Bible to grow in his/her faith... only a good and faithful pastor/teacher-of-the-word.
The real question here should be; "Does St. Andrews have the the men and women who know and practice the truth?" That is how the Athiest in question will come to Christ. If he hears the word, and the word brings conviction, followed by repentance, followed by acceptance of Christ. But if St. Andrews is not up to the task, think of all those congregants with Mr. Athiest's blood on their hands when he finds himself in a literal burning Hell.
The following links will lead you to a place that clearly and simply lays out what we as Christians should be doing with what time we have left.
