Pride goeth before the Fall...
You're on crack, right?
Old Milwaukee? Milwaukee's Best? Heineken? Pabst?
You said -- "Pride goeth before the Fall..."
Ah..., such pride to be with Jesus, isn't it? I suppose that's why the Apostle Paul said to comfort one another with those words.
Too bad the Devil didn't have that "kind of pride" instead of the pride he did have -- of putting himself above God and above God's throne. If the Devil had merely acknowledged who Jesus was and had not sought (out of his pride) to be *above* Him -- all would have been well. But the Bible tells us different about *that* kind of pride.
That's the nice thing about believing in what Jesus says -- versus believing in a corrupt, "earthly organization" run by men. In my case, I can know -- according to Jesus words -- that I will be with Him. I have that on Jesus' authority.
I suppose those certain others can't know until they check with that earthly organization -- and whoever that guy is with the thing on his head. They might also try crawling on their knees for a few hundred feet until they get bloody. That might make them worthy enough. You never know... (at least not with that corrupt earthly organization, run by wicked men).

Yes, and they are not usually prosecuted for DUI, they either leave the country or just fail to appear. I also heard or read something about a seperate court in AZ for hispanics and other minorities that was giving lighter sentences to minorities than Caucasians, found that hard to believe- I am looking for a source. Not sure what the thinking behind that would be, do they think a drunk minority on the road is safer than others?
I wouldn't be surprised, but I'd still like to see the source should you find it.

Because treating them the same as gringos would be racist?
I was thinking of the way crickets and roaches used to come under the doors, when I lived in college dorms in south Texas, long ago ...
I'll probably have nightmares now!
I did not find the original article, but there is an article today that refers to the seperate court system for Hispanics and Native Americans in Arizona:

I am speechless...
Yes, unfortunately!
Words fail me.
Sweet dreams...
Gee, thanks ...
Anytime!

Excelent PC responce.Two thumbs up.
They have a bigger problem than drinking. Drudge right now has a headline indicating they're protesting the passage of legislation to return this nation to the status of being lawful. We're going to end up with conflict before this is over and apparently whoever has the most firepower and the will to use it will determine what is right and what is wrong. In the end, no one is going to win.
Correct.
My, my... what on earth could have caused all those other Christian churches then?
The oldest reason in the world - the sin of pride.
Have y'all reformed yet?
Don't need to - the truth doesn't change.
I don't worship your false idol named "Reform" - I worship the one true God precisely as He commanded in Scripture.
Nothing technical about the lack of profit at all. There simply isn't any.
He referred to the Father as separate from himself, not I.
"I and the Father are one."
I suspect humans are even more error prone than Angels.
The Church isn't human - it's only staffed by humans.
