Microsoft Issues Ominous ASP.Net Security Warning

An anonymous reader writes "A security flaw in Microsoft's ASP.NET apparently allows access to password-protected areas just by altering a URL. There's no patch yet, but in the meantime Microsoft is telling ASP.NET developers they can rewrite their applications to prevent exploits. About 2.9 million web sites run on ASP.NET according to Netcraft." Some more links: another Microsoft article, NTBugtraq, K-Otik and Heise.

>what the heck is that supposed to mean?

If you look at the context, versus 34 through, say, about 37, you can see exactly what it means.

Jesus didn't come to bring unity, but to bring division. He goes on to detail that division, between husband and wife, division between families, etc. Then in v.37 it is clear that the meaning is that He calls you to serve Him. That is the division. Some will, and some won't. There will be division between those who choose to believe and those who will never believe. Even within families.

On my reading of it, that appears to be the plain simple intended meaning.
