All one side has to do, is to keep the trains running on time.
But; will He find faith when He returns?
Luke 18:8
Some have said, "...more than 640 K..."

I'll assume we'll not see much of you in FR's Religion forum; eh?
Off to my teaching friends to get their comments.
Some retired from the battle; others still embedded in it.
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Leviticus niv
18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them;
they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.
Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
================================================
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.
They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
We have ads that reek with inclusion and diversity; where homos are slipped into 'normal' situations; but why do we NEVER see the kind that show up strutting their stuff in Pride Parades?
Elsie: Some have said, "...more than 640 K..."
$640,000?

Has Bill Gates ever said "640 K [of computer memory] ought to be enough for anybody"?
Bill Gates has denied saying it several times, and there is no evidence that he said it.
Gates did say:
“Meanwhile, I keep bumping into that silly quotation attributed to me that says 640K of memory is enough. There’s never a citation; the quotation just floats like a rumor, repeated again and again.”
No one can guard rights, except a government under objective laws. What if McGovern had his gang of policemen, and Nixon had his, and instead of campaigning they fought in the streets? This has happened throughout history. Rational men are not afraid of government. In a proper society, a rational man doesn’t have to know the government exists, because the laws are clear and he never breaks them.
[FHF 72] Ford Hall Forum, a venue where Ayn Rand was often invited to speak.
Don't understand why you are addressing that comment to me: I wasn't the one to introduce that spurious Gates quote to the conversation.
Regards,
My point was that 'experts' manage to say a lot of things that end up being just plain wrong.
Nope, didn't question the quote (its source and/or veracity). Merely pointed out that you had misquoted it: "...more than 640 K..."
By itself, "640 K" = $640,000.
I think that you meant "640 kB" - which is how a programmer / IT specialist would have formulated it.
Not a biggie, but I'm a stickler.
Regards,
Wrong. I’m incredibly religious, pro life across the board & oppose gay marriage, etc. I’m a strong social conservative & quite tradionalist. But I am a realist as to where others are & what the best hand to play in influencing others into changing their minds in our direction. When I say I’m a moderate traditionalist, I’m not talking about my own stances on things. My goal is to ultimately persuade people to a tradionalist way of believing, but on each issue we are going to have to know where the generally starts out at. I would say the public is more in line with us on abortion than gays. People understand abortion is a violent, life ending procedure & is morally wrong. On gays, we are going to have to be more creative. I’m not talking about changing our beliefs- I’m talking about altering our tactics on gays to move people in a more traditional direction. There are many who act like the point of all this is electing someone who isn’t afraid to say what’s right & wrong & quote a bible verse. That’s the easier part of it. What’s forgotten about is the other half of it- the harder part- being tactical & smart, making convincing arguments that people are open to hearing, influencing culture, changing policy & moving them in a traditional values direction. It’s tactical. If stating right & wrong alone changed things, it’d have succeeded a long time ago. We have to change & influence the culture. We have to be tactical. The fact that we are resistant to that is why we continually cede issues 😃
But anyway; an IT non-specialist would probably be happy with Kb or KB or kb or...
They have 'gotten away' with changing the wording of their perversion.
I say we need to re-capture the language.
It ain't just potatoe - pahtahtow any more!
