I'm just glad that the first time he told me about it I remembered that there isn't a Book of David and that I had just finished the last book of Revelation, so I was pretty sure there wasn't a 32nd chapter.

I just got back online and did the same thing as Becky and went huh? Daniel is right after Ezekiel in my Bible. :)

Which one did it get weird in? I read part of book 1 but since cramming so many textbooks in my head over the last decade haven't read a book for fun in awhile. DH has read them all...I cheated and watched the movies...
 
Hey Becky - it's over!
Kingdom Come: The Final Victory
Now availableKingdom Come is the final book in the best-selling Left Behind series. The horrors of the Tribulation are over, and Jesus Christ has set up his perfect kingdom on Earth. Believers around the world enjoy a newly perfected relationship with their Lord, and the Earth itself is transformed. Yet evil still lurks in the hearts of the unbelieving. As the Millennium draws to a close, the final generation of the unrepentant prepares to mount a new offensive against the Lord himself—sparking the final and ultimate conflict from which only one side will emerge the eternal victor.
 
I've got a set of Left Behind novels, through Glorious Appearing, (13 books) that I'd be willing to sell to someone. The first 4 are soft cover, but the rest are hardbound. If anyone's interested, I'll entertain reasonable offers.

If no one bites, maybe you could donate them to a deserving, small library somewhere.

No, I don't think the poem refers to KG, but he still ranks pretty high in our books. :)

I enjoy pulling this one on people. I've decided it's genetic. My son likes to refer, when speaking to pompous church people, to Revelation 32 and the Book of David. He keeps track of the people who don't know that those aren't in the Bible.

Has he ever asked anyone if they've read Hezekiah?

I just checked, and the original essay is correct. My coffee this morning is FULL of dihydrogen monoxide!Well, I'm doing my part - I'm filtering it out of my coffee, cup by cup.

I'm not sure. I can tell you that I've been asked if it's in the Old or New Testament.




For those who are now wondering about the answer, it's neither.

Not to hi-jack or anything...does anyone know how to find out if Abraham Lincoln really said that or not? I have heard that quote attributed to more than one person & wondered which was right!!

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

You're worried about a hijack in a thread that already has three different conversations in it?BTW - I tend to believe the oldest attribution is closest to correct. I've seen Mary Kay Ash attributed to quotes that I know were attributed to Henry Ford. (I suspect he stole them from someone, too.)

Well one thing about quoting other people. I know President Bush will not get quoted...for several of his sayings but the one the really got me was his no child left behind (don't get me started on that one) comment. "It just goes to show that childrens can learn."
 
Well, don't get me started on Al Gore claiming to invent the Internet......Hey, wonder if he wants to ban dihydrogen monoxide - would love to see a reporter ask him that question...he-he-he - now THAT would be funny!
 
I think that the Pres also referred to the internet as "internets" Maybe Al invented one of the other ones?!?!
The most infamous one was P-O-T-A-T-O-E!!
