SCO Group Inc. does not own the copyright to Unix operating-system software, as it had claimed, and Novell Inc. is the proper owner, U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball said in a filing in federal court in Utah. SCO Group had sued Novell in 2004 for falsely claiming ownership of Unix.
In 2003, SCO Group filed a high-profile lawsuit against International Business Machines Corp. for contributing code to Linux open-source software that it said included some of SCO's Unix-related intellectual property. SCO claimed to have purchased rights to Unix from Novell in 1995.
That 2003 suit against IBM which has not been resolved, raised questions about the potential for other Linux proponents, such as distributor Red Hat Inc. to face similar legal claims

And Fred Phelps fits that definition, thus technically Christian -- so he's right, I bashed a Christian. But I believe Phelps has definitely forgotten the morality as a whole that Christ taught. Strange, I don't have those three core beliefs, but I believe I act more inline with Christ's teachings than he does. I may not think he's a god, but you'd have to be an idiot (or a rabid anti-Christian) not to recognize him as one of the world's greatest moral teachers. Even the Muslims revere him.
AR, There are other things to consider I was just giving an example. Christ said you will know them by their fruits and he was speaking about going out and sowing the word so God would reap a harvest. Mr Phelps shows no fruit, nada, nothing!
14"Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them. 15To one he gave five talents[a] of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more. 17So also, the one with the two talents gained two more. 18But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
19"After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.'
21"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
22"The man with the two talents also came. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.'
23"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
24"Then the man who had received the one talent came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.'
26"His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
28" 'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. 29For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. 30And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
It should, of course, be noted that weeping and gnashing of teeth is biblically the pastime in Hell.
My issues are simple, don’t use clones of our products originating from socialist countries, and don’t use American products backed by green party leftists. Of course, those are the exact types of products you champion LOL.
GE OUT
Yeah, "maybe," obviously in fun, in the context that you sound like them when they go on their rants that have place for neither fact nor logic. Then you attacked me for making fun of the church without even bothering to find out anything about them.
Gold Eagle Out
So I guess this means you won't be addressing your two lies. We understand. It's normal for you. We'll just add them to the quickly-growing list.
That's where the No True Scotsman fallacy comes in. There are obvious criteria for being certain things. For some things the problem comes in defining the absolute core requirements of membership that nobody can disagree with. You can say he's No True Scotsman if he's from Bulgaria. It's easy with the Scotsman, where was he born? Christianity is more difficult, but I think the three requirements you mentioned are the core ones, and anything beyond that represents your particular interpretation of what it means to be Christian, thus invoking the fallacy.
Christ said you will know them by their fruits and he was speaking about going out and sowing the word so God would reap a harvest.
Mr. Phelps puts more effort into sowing the word of God as he sees it than most Christians, that's why he's famous. Personally, I think he just puts too little emphasis on the New Testament, instead emphasizing the pre-covenant angry God.
The Gospel is completed with the new testiment you can not have a gospel without it..
LOL looks like he’s about to accuse you of being in that cult, but I guess since you’re Linux brothers you won’t let it bother you LMAO.
GE, did you read your proverbs last night?
The books of the Bible should always be capitalized.
wow, thanks local grammar gestapo..
BTW I guess thats a no..
That’s obviously an indication of something greater than a gramar problem.
Sure it is... I ask if you read scripture and you retort with ‘that should be capitalized’ you have oh so much in common with the pharisees and it becomes more and more obvious every time you post.
BTW I consider the fact you replied to yourself rather than me telling of your fear...
Accident, I usually only post to this site from a cell. AntiRepublican obviously needs much more help than I, too bad you can’t get past phelps with the guy, he really is lost in life even seems to favor witchcraft over Christianity if you read his posting history. But what the heck, he likes Linux right, so you come bug me instead LOL.
Ahhh you post to yourself its an accident, I miss a capitalization (which I often do with proper names in all subjects and its a deep deep issue..
As to AR, I will continue to deal with him in truth and love with the knowledge that it is grace alone that has saved me, I do nothing more to deserve salvation than he. I will not count salvation as something to be credited to my credit but to his for God’s strength is best demonstrated in my weakness.
You go ahead and continue to spend all your time on FR on tech threads, and stalking people from tech threads not *once* demonstrating the compassion and love of Christ.. GE when it comes to the gospel AR is cold and you are luke warm.. I have never seen you make any statement of faith on FR.
No I don’t fight the atheists if not satanists in some of those threads, they are simply to evil for me to face. But to see you going around attacking various Christian denominations like you have been doing, then giving militant atheists like antirepublican a free pass does call into question exactly where you stand.
I have never said catholics were not Christians, and in my view of Mormons I agree with most every mainstream Christian denominates. What I do on those threads is debate theology which is what Christians should do within the body if you believe otherwise you have never been to a church board meeting. Heck in my small group there are always such discussions and these are people who I love, respect, and allow into my home.
giving militant atheists like antirepublican a free pass
GE If I get into a fight with my brother or sister (I have six of them) I am far more likely to yell, and be curt than a stranger. Do you know why? because they are in my family! If I discuss the same issue with a stranger Im much more likely to be polite.
I told AR he is hellbound if he does not find Christ (And to you thats giving him a pass). You have *never* acted as a Christian towards a non Christian on FR. You have *never* acted as a Christian towards your enemy on FR, thats very telling.
Get real, you’re over on another thread right this second defending stealing LOL. You’re more false than a profit but have no chance of fooling me.
Good, but where?
Tell ya what GE well settle this now and then, if you ever bother to show up on a theology thread, we can pick it up there.. Then again you only pull out your ‘official Christian membership card’ when debating technology..
Anti,
Are you under any misconception as to where I think non-Christians including yourself will go after the final judgment?
