Most people don't realize there is not one thing unique about Christianity. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

There is no more unique and awesome truth that has even been dreamt of, none of those other stories while containing similarities even come close to the fundamental truth of Christianity. It is so great a story that everything before is foreshadowing and everything afterwards is some reflection. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Like I said, you missed your calling. You would have made a great car salesman: Today is the day we introduce the line of new Cadillac's. There is no more unique and awesome car that has even been dreamt of, none of those other cars, while containing similarities, even come close to the fundamental truth of the superiority of Cadillac.. It is so great a car that everything before is foreshadowing and everything afterwards is just a Cadillac reflection. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It's the :always be closing' speech from Glengary Glenross, except they were selling real estate and you're selling Jesus. Real estate is a much better deal.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

And that is why the birth of Christ is the center of all timekeeping.* *some folks will correctly point out that Christ was born 5-7BC or so. The exactness of the date has nothing to do with it, that this became the center of all timekeeping is what is important. The President is a fink. |

Padre - it is much more likely and chronologically accurate to state that JC was born in September |

| FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | I don't think so. I've seen lots of different arguments about this and the theory I find most convincing is that the actual date was indeed right around this time. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

And the 7 week days are named after Roman gods and the sun and moon and are used worldwide. You aren't making the point you think you're making. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
