| (...) I was honestly starting to think this would be the first update you'd miss! My thanks as ever for taking the time to comment, Bruce. (...) It might be a good choice. There seems to be some serious uncertainty about how the Philistines pictured (...) (19 years ago, 15-Nov-06, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

| (...) Well, let's say that it "rings true" to me; I find the wisdom valid for my life. Why? I don't know the reason. But it does. Why do you believe what you believe? Upon what rational basis do you (presumably) deny the existence of God? How do you (...) (19 years ago, 18-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

| Alright, where were we... let's see... (...) Ah, OK. It's silly how things can be taken the wrong way in a written debate that would be cleared up in an instant if we were speaking in person. But then again, I'm not much for debating in person. I (...) (19 years ago, 31-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

Just to clear up any misunderstandings, I don't read the actual original ancient Greek text of the New Testament, nor the ancient Hebrew of the Old Testament (though my girlfriend does read Hebrew and sometimes offers me her own translations).

| Hi, John. (...) I've seen you draw this distinction in other posts here, and meant to ask you how exactly you derive this idea that the Old Testament is "contextual to the time" while the New Testament (presumably in your mind) is not merely so.

| (...) To say that it "rings true to you" almost makes it sound like you are evaluating it based on evidence and logic, rationally determining it to be the best explanatory theory. But this is quite different than saying that you are absolutely sure (...) (19 years ago, 19-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

Yeah, lots of the issues addressed are of the universal type, but some aren't. One (...) (19 years ago, 18-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

| Hi, Bruce! (...) Gosh, and I felt crappy about there being a three month gap between this update and the last for The Brick Testament. Sometimes you just need to lock yourself in a room full of LEGOs and a camera for a couple of weeks and not come (...) (19 years ago, 15-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
