    Again, concerning your verse in Luke. Jesus isnt commanding us to sell everything necessarily. He wants you to be more concerned with treasure in heaven. Plenty of God's men were very wealthy...Solomon, David, Job, even Abraham. As far as exodus 34: I was just asking what your issue was. My other response didnt have to do with that book. Sorry for the confusion. Finally, as for your Matthew 5 quote about one jot or tiitle...keep reading. It goes on to say until all is accomplished. Further in verse 20 Jesus says that your righteouness must exceed the scribes and pharisees. What is He saying then? The scribes and pharisees were the most holy of the Jewish people. And your righteousness must exceed that?? Is he saying that you must keep the law better than they? What he is saying is that you are bound by the law if you are counting on it for salvation. Until you see that the law is to highlight your need for a savior (you cannot be "good" enough to be saved) then the law binds you. Now, remember what I previously said about how Jesus fulfills the law? The law kills. Jesus saves. Have I made it clear?

    Yeah, it's probably Alex Jones. I heard him too, and he didnt say for sure, he said that it is possible. Apparently he had scientists involved with creating weather weapons on his show, and has interviewed many people, and yes there are mechanisms to control weather. With planes, and chemicals and such apparently hurricanes can be steered around. It's not that implausible once you look at what we have done already and the technology we have. Whether Sandy's a conspiracy or not is just thrown out there for consideration. This IS the worst storm in 100 years just in time to take away Romney's momentum. Don't mod me down-- I'm just clarifing here.

    Well, I'm a Christian and believe in sola scriptura, and I can go toe to toe with your arguments. I know I'll get belittled and modden down for this, but here goes. First, Jesus doesn't say to give away all your possesions. Those verses mean that you can value possesions more than salvation. The rich man though he had salvation-- he thought he obeyed the 10 commandments. Jesus was simply highlighting for him that no, he is a sinner. And salvation isnt through works, but grace through faith in Jesus redemptive work on the cross for forgivness of our sins. The guy did not understand-- he thought he kept the law-- he thought good works gave salvation-- he missed it.

    Second, I'm not sure what problem you have with Exodus 34. God punishes people, some to an earlier death than they would have via "natural" causes. God sometimes uses people to punish other people.

    Finally, with the sermon on the mount, Jesus makes it clear that he is the fulfillment of the law. He does not abolish it, but rather fulfills it. The law was intended to highlight sin, increase transgressions, and show the need to a savior. The law is good, it served its purpose. Parts of the law, like the sabbath law, were a sign. For example, the sabbath weekly rest was a sign to eternal rest in Jesus (See hebrews 4). With Jesus being the fulfillment, the law is put aside, not abolished, and we now have a new law, a law of liberty, a law of love. I can go on more but this is what I can do for now in a slashdot comment box. You can see there is a bit more to it than what you might initially react to a Bible verse. You must read the Bible, and study. I hope anyone still reading this will open their hearts to the forgiveness of Jesus, repent of your sins, and join in eternal life. Peace everybody.

With Agile, unit testing, code reviews, automated testing, development cycle, etc, engineering is taking place using a professional process and producing repeatable results.

    It had plenty of good content. But where was it hosted? If it was a university personal page, school, part of your ISP account, etc, then it didnt really cost anything to host. Heck, I used to post all kinds of free content such as how I got my linux box working as a router, step by step help, electronics projects, etc. I enjoyed creating content if others would benefit from it. But back in the day, there were fewer people on the internet. Now, you almost need an ad or two to run the hosting if you have any kind of traffic at all. I mean, how else are we to put servers up? Don't get me wrong though, I'm all for providing free information, but not if I have to pay for bandwidth.

    Each person has personal liberty. Your rights end where mine begin. To force me to vaccinate is to trample my rights. Without digging up the tons of evidence (just visit infowars.com) against vaccines let me just say that there are many vaccine injuries. I have listened to a prominent doctor (search Dr. Tenpenny) who has many videos and research on this topic. Even if vaccines work (debatable), the poisons and toxins in the preservatives in them make it very dangerous to human health. Infants especially are shot up with so many poisonous vaccines at once and in a short timespan that its no wonder there are injuries. At least we should wait until they are group a bit so the brain can take it easier. But I dont want them. It is absolutely my right to refuse them. If you think they work so well, then get them and dont worry then because they work...right? So, I likewise will not vaccinate.
