*rips tape from mouth* Heh, heh, heh! Next time, don't forget to tie my hands!Ahhhh! I can breathe again. yardstick , I learned yesterday, all by myself I might add, how to make names turn blue in the posts. Im so excited!!! Typing all those symbols to try and communicate with you proved useful as this symbol "@" can make names turn blue! mike , I didn't realize you are a bully (mental note made to hide my lunch money from mike).  I thought that you were a brain like yardstick. I should have known, with all that "ya nerd" talk. So, no choice but to change your name. I hereby bestow you "Biff", a la Back to the Future. ... Such a classic tiffanybw ! I'm amazed how you just figured out how to link names on the forums, but yet you know how to embed videos?  Love yah sis! I can pat my head while rubbing my belly at the same time. Does that count? Incidentally, I can also rub my head while patting my belly at the same time. And I gargle peanutbutter as an encore. |

Lol tiffanybw , you are funny sistah! On a very personal note, please dont ever compare me to yardstick , not only is he a geek, but he's is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy smarter than me. Seriously YS your analysis on things helps me learn although I do not fully grasp much of what you write. I literally read through the "Calculating the number of the beast" thread twice and still dont get it. But I'll shoot over and try once more then ask questions. Tiff the comparison to Biff is classic...that was me in grammar & high school. OK maybe after that too without the "nuggies"(sp?). er... Thanks... Basically I was curious about why the author said the wise could calculate the number. I understood that to mean it was encoded somehow. I have seen attempts to 'translate' the number to something meaningful before. They do not seem to make much sense. I started with the greek, came up with nothing, and then 'stumbled upon' the relationship between greek and phoenician. I think the older a language gets, the more 'pictographic' it gets. I also think it gets closer to the truth. The more exposure to other cultures a culture has, the more the language changes. That is why Chinese and Japanese have hardly changed in thousands of years. But modern english is substantially different than old english. Pictographic letters represent more than one thing. English letter T means only one thing. But the phoenician T, depending on context, can mean 3 different things! Older languages are much more compact. They convey much more nuance. Latin is a prime example. "Veni, Vedi, Veci" is only three words in latin, but to say the same thing in english, takes 6 words: "I came, I saw, I conquered". The latin has 12 letters, but english has 19 letters... "Semper" is translated in english about 6 different ways: Forever, Always, Endless, Eternal, Everlasting, and Perpetual (my favorite). I am sure there are more because there are so many synonyms in English. But in Latin, the context of the sentence defines the nuance of the word. English requires the use of synonyms (different words, not variants on the same word) to convey nuances. Less so, syntax. So even though greek is very old, already it has lost some of the letters' meanings. I couldnt find unique meanings for several of the letters. Then hit upon looking at the phoenician parent language. Phoenician is much older than greek. About the same age as hebrew. Hebrew letters have phonic use, numerical use, and pictographic use as well (each letter represents a word - has a definition). Same for phoenician. Sorry to derail the thread. I have been looking into this too! But for Hebrew. Just starting and really intrigued by it. |

I love y'all! Each and every person here. And I'm so HAPPY that Silentknight is back! Now gotta work on Cage.  ^^^ tiffanybwYou are awesome my dear. I was sad to see Cage go and it took me a few days to fully process what had happened in the other thread. Honestly still not 100%... It was on my mind for days though. @silentknight Your responses to that had clarified a lot. Thank you. I honestly felt very awkward being categorized in the way I was when I was tagged by Cage :/ Wasn't sure how or what to think of that. I came back back and reread this thread though. When you first posted it, I read it several times but did not reply. Maybe I should have. My initial reaction was very emotional, towards myself that is. I wanted what you had lol. The way you talked about having a conversation with the Lord, it made me choke up. It really hit a deep note, that I think is missed by many. Maybe simply because we are not aware that it could be possible or look for it. I was in complete awe and envious. Not in a bad way though, because I thought what a beautiful thing You have.To just talk to the Lord, like you would with people everyday, ask him to inspire and guide your every move, asking to be shown what to look for or whatever. All I could think of was I want that kind of relationship with the Lord and what do I need to do to get it. I wanted to to post this to the other thread, but it got locked before I had a chance. |

I'm back. I am a bit ashamed that I over-reacted. I'm sorry. I'm also sorry that maybe my perception of things led me to be more accusatory and less able to listen to you all. I do still have my concerns about the things I brought up though. Please pray for me and forgive me. Especially you disciple4life and yardstick. @silentknight , I appreciate what you said and was really excited when you called me a fellow soldier of the cross. I came back when I saw you came back and started a thread on Hearing God. I really want to understand this stuff. |

The grace of God has no bounds, and neither does His forgiveness, so rest assured all is forgiven. I will pray that your roots stretch deep and you find nourishment in your newly found walk with our Lord and Savior Jesus. It's a journey and a transformation process that takes a lifetime to occur (that is until we are with Him for all eternity and all is revealed and understood). James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.Love you brother! |

One of the greatest gifts you can give a brother or sister is presenting yourself so that they can ask your forgiveness. This is never done in haughtiness, but by simply making yourself available. And, of course, I do ask your forgiveness for leaving the situation in a confusing state. |
