The Neverending Story
Free Republic | 3/24/01 | The NES Crew

The Neverending Story

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

After a nine month hiatus, The Neverending Story, the granddaddy of daily threads, has returned to Free Republic. Originally begun on March 24, 2001, as a religious discussion thread, the NES evolved over time into a daily thread spanning a wide variety of topics. The new and improved Neverending Story will feature conversation on religion, politics, culture, current events, business, sports, family, hobbies, general fellowship and more. We welcome you to hang your hat in our little corner of FR. We ask you to abide by the FR posting rules and, even in the midst of serious debate, to keep the discussion friendly and respectful. Those who wish to "duke it out" are asked to take it over to the Smoky Backroom. I placed this thread in "General/Chat" for a reason, so play nice and have fun! :o)

YHWH forbid the interpretation of signs for this sort of predictive purpose. It would have been divination to interpret the appearance of stars as omens of extraordinary events, births of royalty, or even messiahs. Yet, we are to do that which YHWH forbids???

I’m not sure of where your going with this? First you asked me why John didn’t know that Jesus would rise again, and I made the point we seldom know Gods plans until after the fact. Then you point out Duet.18:9-12 that God forbade his people to interpret etc.

It seems to me you answered your own question as to why John didn’t understand the prophesies made by Jesus, or am I missing something?

You're missing something.
Go back and read your previous post. You said they didn't know except with 'hindsight' (paraphrased) and brought up the 'wise men'. I merely pointed out that the wise men were magi/astrologers and forbidden by YHWH. ;)

But you forgot to point out that they didn't know the Messiah was born until after the fact, some 3 months later, so they weren't prophesying, they were reading history which the Jews of the day hadn't done.

Then why were they following THAT star?

The only explanation must be that God chose to reveal it to these magi Astrologers rather then to those who wouldn’t believe or accept the Savior.

I just couldn't resist such an open door shot at you. Hopefully Da Boys will take a few more shots at your team next week.

Talk about your "open door shots"... I post this at half time and I've got to say I'm feeling pretty confident. :-)

That door was open on the first Dallas offensive play from scrimmage. As soon as I saw that, I knew they were gonna be in Bledsoe's face all day.

What a whoopin'!

I am just about to celebrate my 5,110th day weekend. Except for my old age frailties it has been pretty nice. :-)

It was a pretty good football week for me:

1. The Pats lost though with great difficulty. The third stringers and practice squad players almost won the game. My guess is Belichick would have been pissed. He certainly didn't want to meet the Steelers in the first round.

2. Boston College won.

3. Better yet, Notre Dame lost.

I think the Steelers, Broncos, and Colts, (maybe even the Jaguars) are all better teams than the Patriots this year and any AFC team is better than the NFC best.

Funny things happen in the playoffs though and with a healthy Brady and a small miracle the Pats could pull it off.

One thing I know for sure - I'm not making any $ bets.

Hey Reggie. Good to hear from you. Of course I'm hoping for a little Bronco success. Nobody really paying any attention to them which is fine. They have some defense this year.
