*yacketyyacketyyacketyyacketyyackyack*

i wanted to see if the kjv bible had a verse saying something along the lines of people just picking and choosing what they want to hear(ie not reading the entire bible to get the story).

but the best i could come up with was one of the verses below.

(and any verses which state that all of God's Words are truth and important, like Luke 4:4 and Psalm 12:6-7)

i'm not going to elaborate on the last verse i put up; i've said reasons why syria is of utmost importance rather than jerusalem during the beginning of the church, etc.

wanna shocker? look up "alexandria" in the bible and see if you find anything positive regarding that city.

and we all know christianity's attitude towards rome in the bible.

my "little" project of photocopying, cutting and pasting bible verses i like into the little diary i have's going along just fine; looks like in no time i'll be able to actually carry this thing around and start memorizing when i have nothing to do. of course, when i add more verses, i'll have to let it aerate during the night, so that the glue doesn't stick the pages together.

hah, i think i belong in absk... (and not b/c i'm not korean)

but i'd rather do my stuff in msm.

it all has to do w/the body of christ IMO.

(my genetics lab partner who goes to absk was curious why i would go to msm; i even told her, outside of the whole korean thing, the way my personality is, i don't really fit in)

and i've said it b4.

"picking a church shouldn't be all about what they can give me; it should also be what i can give them."

and if a church lacks in a certain area... well... shouldn't what you do next be obvious?

if you're in a church which tends to concentrate on other stuff a LOT more... it makes you feel like a drop of red dye in an expansive ocean blue.

but in the immediate context, i can help influence the members in my cg, and really, that's good enough for me.

besides, if God wanted me to change a fellowship upside-down, he would've shown me the things he showed me in junior year, well, in freshman year of college.

seems to me how little priorities usa sports players place upon actually representing their country and winning it

back then, anybody in any pro sport would've signed up if given the chance. when the us dream team in bball was formed, every superstar signed up to play.

now, the attitude's not so out there.

and it's sad. really.

i'm of course, referring to the us baseball team. it's still a good team, and i admittedly don't know a lot about baseball in general. but i still get the sense that this team, like the us basketball team 2 years back, had a lot of people not choose to play.
