How far back would I have to go to see the mud being slung?
The first game with a paid player was determined by the NFL to be a game between teams from Jeannette and Latrobe. (The history is disputed by some other folks, but we ain't listening.) I live right outside of Jeannette, and Latrobe is the world-famous home of Arnold Palmer and Rolling Rock beer.

I can find nothing is scripture that tells us that they are concerned with them, either, as they are no longer in this world. I can find nothing in scripture to indicate that we should pray to them, asking them to pray for us, either.
I agree that there is nothing in scripture that makes me think we should pray to anyone dead. But in Rev. 21:4 it says "God will wipe away all tears from their eyes." Why would we cry in heaven. I THINK, this is just my thoughts no scripture back up, the only reason anyone would cry in heaven is because they realize some of their loved ones are not there, or because they have been shown at the Bemus Seat judgement all the opportunities they had to witness to people and didn't and now those people are lost. But thank God it seems (I think) that God will eventually take those memories away, because heaven wouldn't be heaven with that kind of sadness for people.

Well, we say around the 1500s, but they say shortly after the last apostle died. :-)

Hey! That's one of my favorite trivia bits. The Steagles. LOL
And that is the reason behind the logo being on only one side of the Steelers helmets, is it not?
I wouldn't recommend it.
I've heard once before, but have forgotten ... what's with the "33" inside the label of a Rolling Rock?
BTW ... the Sherman/Denison TX area (where I grew up) was one of the test markets for Rolling Rock when it came to this part of the world. It caught on rather quickly.
Who knows? Maybe it sounds better? Like the Texas Rangers as opposed to the Arlington Rangers. While we're at it, is the NY part of the Yanks name referring to the state or the city?
You should know first that Jews do not consider sacrifice alone, without repentance, to be efficacious for the forgiveness of sin. But there is plenty of evidence from the Hebrew scriptures that sin was not merely covered, but removed. A sampling:
And all its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; so the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven. (Leviticus 4:26)
for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins you shall be clean before the LORD (Leviticus 16:30)
And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the LORD for his sin which he has committed; and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him. (Leviticus 19:22)
if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
I, I am He
who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,
and I will not remember your sins. (Isaiah 43:25)
I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud,
and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you. (Isaiah 44:22)
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin! (Psalm 51:2)
Thou didst forgive the iniquity of thy people;
thou didst pardon all their sin. (Psalm 85:2)
But if a wicked man turns away from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness which he has done he shall live. (Ezekiel 18:21)
If God forgives, does He still hold our sin against us? Jews say no. His forgiveness is complete. Our sins are blotted away, washed away, cleansed away, swept away, and He remembers them no more.

Sorry ... I just like reading that over and over. ;o)
No, I heard it was because Mr. Rooney was cheap. :-)
(Those who never noticed, watch the game tonight. When the Steelers move left to right you see a logo. Right to left, no logo.)

How do you make the connection between the thousand year period in Revelation with the Kingdom verses in Matthew?
Go read this instead, my post 2671. It was quite interesting and provoked some unusual reactions. Here are some of the unusual ones: 2685 and 2730

You claimed glory throughout the entire post. You just too blind to see it.
