Yes you are!
;o)
Actually what I meant was has any of the regulars had that happen because of something they said on The Neverending Story. We (me included:) do get a bit hatful sometimes, had the abuse button ever been hit in all these 20,000 plus posts.

Havoc had the whistle blown on him once by some thin skinned RC.
Hey, I'm just thrilled that Becky did; that's who I posted it to.
But thank you for your encouraging and helpful post.
No need to argue the text speaks for itself. Its all in the context.
You keep making a big deal about it, as if the lack of historical certainty somehow undermines the entire Catholic belief system. It's simply not important, and I wonder why you think it is so.

I'm sorry. I certainly didn't mean to put you through that. :o(
You should always appreciate that D-fendr says thank you after he slits your throat. :-)
But thing about my "till" there was nothing after the "today". Tomorrow he will be beautiful "till" that today, so on and so forth. In the case of Matt. 1:25 something comes after the till, "she had brought him forth etc."
big difference in context.
Becky
Good help is hard to find. (dock her pay:) tell her I said that. How come she don't Freep?:)
Becky worked for me a couple of times and lovely times they were, cussing, bitting, kicking, and screaming, and you should of seen what she was doing. :)

LOL! I know that sometimes I get very HATFUL because it gets full of my big ol' head! 8^)
Seriously, though, I think that God must do good work here at times or else the devil wouldn't be so interested in stirring up animosity too.
You're no fun. ;o)
She doesn't like the computer. I'm kinda glad she doesn't freep tho. :-) I have to be accountable for what I say. I'd hate to have the extra burden of watching what I type.
Don't worry al she cries over McDonalds commercials. :)

You said "beautiful till today." Matt 1:25 says "no sex till she brought forth"
You didn't necessarily mean that after today your son is not beautiful. In fact you didn't mean that at all.
Matt 1:25 doesn't necessariily mean that after "she had brought forth" that she had sex. It is the exact same sentence construction. "Till" does not always mean that something has to change afterward. You have proven this.
You can argue that "till" does mean something changes in Matt 1:25, but you can not say it necessarily mean that.

Don't forget to read verse 24. Thank you so much.
She and my Dianne need to get together. They can sob to the commercials all day long. ;o)
Yeah, how come, I need help! I'm getting a bit gun shy today. Go back thru the posts on this page and see how many times my name has come up, and they aren't talking to me but about me. I've noticed this happens alot. Mack says it's a man thing, because I'm about the only woman on here. Men stick together type thing. Tell your wife to come help:)

Let's not forget the passive participle kecharitomene. Next time someone brings that up, I shall be waiting for your swift rebuke. ;-)
