I'd find your take on this quite interesting: What is biblical hermeneutics? (i didn't want to embed the hyperlink, I guess the forum automatically does so)

I'm not questioning the word of God, but man's "interpretation" of it. I'm a believer, have been for all of my life save for a year or so in my late teens (at a time I was questioning God's existence) when a near death experience shook me to my core and I returned to FAITH. BUT, man has been...

now you're just trolling, egging..."literal or NOT" ("NOT" is figurative, where we are speaking)...we WERE having a good time and a laugh, but now you just kill the atmosphere

well, now THERE's a workaround! Like a building addition, and the toolbox actually grew! :p

Oh good grief, you're a literal one, aren't you?

I think it could be said that if Aramaic, which was not a single language but a group of related languages, may even have its lost translations and I would almost wager that many modern biblical texts may be derived from the other languages it was translated to (i.e. Greek, Latin, etc). Our...

Indeed, but with many translations from the original text (Aramaic, i believe?) that would lead to interpretations from one language to the next, and missing/deteriorated scrolls that are lost forever, I think the context and the learning point of the whole Christian Bible is relatively clear to...

I should have expected the comedians coming out to play! :rolleyes::p It houses a lot of my tools for home improvements and other projects as well...

I would say the basic owner who has decided to go the DIY route after some time passing paying others to fix (and expired warranty) probably does not have all the right "tools" initially...my toolbox has expanded exponentially in the last 10 years! (that happens when you have room in the garage...

well, to clarify, I wasn't speaking nor debating about the truths of the scripture itself, just that there are interpretations based on what appear to be metaphors based on the knowledge of the times in which they were written...after reviewing, i wasn't even sure I was alluding to the specific...

that was my own facetious way of pointing his error out...

interesting insight, although I think a lot of Revelations and the visions from John may have to be taken as spoken metaphorically since many of these prophecies were describing many items not yet invented...I would take the above verse as describing a dragon as a military jet (or fleet of them)...

let's hope the Swedish ladies get the proper training to "prevent the refugee driven population explosion"...

awesome, our Elk are conservative, too! Too bad they make for tasty, tasty steaks and burgers!

yup, that degas bottle removal will have you creating your own vocabulary that NO ONE wants to learn if you still have the factory hose clamps! The thermostat housing is easier, IMO... my DCCV is on order and in transit...I let the battery go dead nad when I replaced the degas bottle this...

very true...My insurance claims on tows is in the double digits in my lifetime!

Hey, it was my theory, however erroneous it may be! and 04_Sport_LS, appreciate the feedback, I've been under the hood of this car from 60-96k more than I was under my 99 Acura TL from 100-140k, and I beat the HELL out of that thing! I'm hoping for at least another year and a lottery win...

our 03 V8 is going through the motions and we have about 96k on it (was my wife's daily commuter from '06-'14, until the throttle body dies on a high-speed tollway, stranding her and scaring her permanently on it, prompting the purchase of a newer vehicle, so I took over the LS)...I've replaced...

if memory serves me right (and it may not, so take this for what it is worth), dimensionally the 5.0 supercharged motor from the new XF will fit right in there as i think the blocks and heads are milled to the same external dimensions as the 3.9; it's the internals that are different, and, ECU...

Hey, if West Coast Customs can do it with the previous generation Charger (their modern General Lee), I say go for it, but they didn't shorten the wheelbase:
