I heard that perfect pitch is more of a curse than a blessing, especially if youre playing with someone who might have adequate-but-not-exactly-perfect pitch.
Do you start wincing about pitch variations that no one else hears?
I do not dispute that Christians must obey their goverments to the best of their abilities, you are right in this respect, and you are interpreting the verses correctly.
However I dont see how a christian can support the death penalty in this day and age.
The old testament did provide for death penalty, as well as other "eye for an eye" type of punishments, however this was abrogated by Jesus (as told in John 8:6-8)
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
also, read carefuly His words on punishment and retribution (Luke 6:27-38):
27"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. 30Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31Do to others as you would have them do to you. 32"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. 33And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. 34And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. 35But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. 37"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
It's a sick fantasy that validates the Nazi genocide that almost destroyed the Jews only two generations ago.
Well, my beliefs state that those who do not accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour will be lost, however my beliefs also state that murder is a sin, even if its to murder someone who does not share my beliefs.
No true christian would support killing of jews, just as no true christian would support killing of muslims. A true christian would not support the death penalty, as Jesus taught that all of us are capable of redemtion....of course, "true" christians are rare today.
Not really, Chrisitanity has the devil for example, Judasim doesn't belive he exits. After all how is it possible for there to be an evil force that is independent of God? Nothing can be independant of God.
Just curious, what about the entity called "Satan" in the book of Job?
Ok, checked wikipedia and both sports fields are the same lenght (110 meters or 120 yards) but american football is played on a narrower field (50 meters vs 75 meters for soccer)
A novel or book is not translated like this, the best translation aren't word for word or sentence to sentece. Good translators almost rewrite the whole thing, some times with a different style.
This is true, and sometimes very sad. For example, The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxys official spanish translation is simply unreadable.
Both american football and real football (ie soccer) fields have more or less the same size... too lazy right now to check in wikipedia, but in my school we used to play both sports in the same field, and the only difference was the width of the field.
If I remember correctly, lighters (and lighter fluid) have always been banned from checked baggage because of the different air pressures and temperatures they may be exposed to during flight.
I used to work for an airline before 9/11 and we had to tell people to take out their lighters and put them on their carryon baggage
Read my other comments, my point is that I have never paid more than the equivalent of 500usd for a "complete computer", much less for a motherboard replacement or something like that.

Excellent Dr. Demento reference.

There are several derived works, wikipedia is down today, but some of those are the many variations on the christian Bible and the Quran.
Linux works ? When did this happen?
Sometime in the nineties
Ok, checked wikipedia and both sports fields are the same lenght (110 meters or 120 yards) but american football is played on a narrower field (50 meters vs 75 meters for soccer)
However the spanish NVI appears to parallel the NIV
If I remember correctly, both the NVI and NIV were created roughly at the same time, from the greek and hebrew originals. They are sister projects

...And to think that some people claimed there was no way Jar Jar Binks would have been elected senator!
Just watch real world parlaments!
Yeah, because I promised my parents that I would get a metal body and live forever...
Pixar wasn't really viable until 10 years later, so that could hardly be counted as a huge failure.
If Lucas had more foresight, he could have afforded to keep Pixar alive until it bloomed.
It was a bad decision
...but what is a grey hat?
Its an aluminum foil cover for your thoughts... You should never leave home without it in today's insecure world.
Microsoft will surely start selling them soon, although, like most of their security measures, it is released almost too late.
As a third example, imagine what would happen if we transplanted "The Sopranos" into the Star Wars universe -- we have "The Hutts".
Somehow I dont imagine Jabba talking to a shrink about problems with his mother...
Nope, not yet... strange, one would think it has matured
Goatse alert!

Pinky! Are you pondering what I'm pondering?!
Here is a clue - $500 gets you an up-to-date Sempron Socket-A computer or an okay Socket 764 AMD-64 computer you can run Linux on. Fo' real, yo.
Careful! For posting similar truths, I was downmodded to oblivion a few days ago...
My bad, sorry
The 1.25Ghz mac mini is sold here for the equivalent of 600usd, just to clarify...
Read my other comments, my point is that I have never paid more than the equivalent of 500usd for a "complete computer", much less for a motherboard replacement or something like that.
Thanks for the +10, by the way
