The only belts that look anywhere near good are the tag belts, the Big Gold, and the IC(Depending on the wearer of the belt). The worst is by far the US belt, as it's gaudy. The cruiserweight belt is pretty bad, IMO

I'm saying Bast at the Beach '98. Goldberg vs. Curt Henning. If there was anyone who could carry Goldberg at the time, it was Henning. And it was 4 minutes long. Henning gets a title shot, and it's a fucking squash.

You're just sad he didn't come to your last "mixer"

I actually had a discussion Friday night about works and faith, and I'll give you the basic idea behind it: Having been raised Christian, I've been told things my entire life without detailed explanation. (You need to be saved and sanctified...., Carry your cross..., and accordingly: You aren't saved by works but by faith.) It wasn't until I discussed Martin Luther's "Bondage of the Will" in my Renaissance and Reformation class that I realized that Catholics aren't the only ones who work for their salvation. Having been raised in an Evangelical Protestant household, the looming threat of Hell is what kept me faithful until I was about sixteen. I've spent a good majority of my life praying for forgiveness every time I committed a sin because I was afraid of dying suddenly or missing the "rapture" (An idea I will in no way, shape, or form debate. I don't want debate starting because of this post because it is not necessary to Christianity.). Even after my salvation grew beyond this, I still spent a lot of my time carrying around the guilt of my transgressions. In my class, my professor made it a point to emphasize Luthor's point that you cannot take salvation, you can only receive it. To do anything that would work towards your salvation takes the work away from Christ and makes His sacrifice less worthy. My uncle in law brought a verse from Romans into the conversation which mentions something along the lines of carrying a dead body, which was a practice used by the Romans when someone committed murder(the murderer would carry the dead body on his back, and it would eventually kill him). The idea is that when you receive salvation, Christ removes the dead body from your back. But if you don't "receive" salvation, you still carry the body around. The point of this is that sacraments aren't the only works done by Christians. Dwelling on your sins and carrying them around with you is a work. Anything you do to try to "prove your worth" is a work. SIDE NOTE: I'm actually going to a PCA church around the corner. PCA was recommended to me by one of my professors. Thanks, though SP. I agree that works are crucial to salvation, but only after you receive salvation.(Which you'd understand some if you read the rest of this post.) I also agree, as well, that there has been some "arrogantly determining of someone's fate," as it's one of the few problems I've had with this thread. I'd have to disagree with the pouring over the minutia of the Bible, as you can't discuss Christianity without the discussing the sources involved. I'd say more, but Mr. McHaggis, I've only just met you.

ahh....thanks. You finally do me some good.

I totally forgot where that came from. Now it all makes sense...

How do I get rid of this stuff? I used Norton, and deleted most of it, but I have a few files that it can't delete, some including: windows\system32\atd.dll windows\ezinstall.exe windows\system32\lspak.dll Does anyone want to help me?

Do you mean my friend? If so, I'm horribly insulted.

Can you dumb that down just a little bit?

I think that the Catholics aren't the only ones who place some things too high. As I said before, I was raised Pentecostal. Now that Im married, my wife and I are looking for a "home" church. We told our parents that we were looking at a Presbyterian church. Her Mom(also pentecostal) laughed at us, and mine told me I shouldn't go there because they don't speak in tongues. I agree with this as well. I have large problems with "Christian" media because of this.

So, you would be suggesting merging Food, Learning, AND HD?

I'm waiting for Mike to ask you to site the sig size rule, and then continously claim that his sig is not to long even though he has evidence otherwise. EDIT: It's horribly Ironic that I'm talking about sig size.

Ok, but what does that mean? It means, IDRM, that by this definition Catholics are also Christians. To say that all Catholics are not Christians is like saying that only Evangelical Protestants are going to heaven. There are many Catholics who are incredible Christians that love God, and don't "worship" Mary. I know several. Just because they have some "unique" beliefs doesn't mean that they are not part of the body of Christ. Hell, I grew up Pentecostal. Some people think we're possesed by demons. It doesn't mean every Pentecostal is going to Hell. And yes, I do understand that there are some "out there" Catholic beliefs, but I would think that the Catholic Church is in a much better state than it was 500 years ago.

I just saw the WWE jukebox on WWE.com, and it's a load of Taker matches for $1.49 each. Has anyone tried this yet? Do you get to download the match or just watch it streamed?

Thanks, I'll try that.

HAHAHAHA! That's funny. Damn you, Dutch Mantel. Damn you too, Jeff Jarrett. Wow, he IS new to Christianity. I say in a few months he renounces his Christianity because of hypocrisy. What a noob.

We'll see Johnny B. Badd with the belt before Raven. And haven't we heard enough of Jarrett calling TNA his world? I know it's true, but geez, it's like McMahon walking out every week saying "Since I own WWE, which means that I make all the decisions, I'm gonna do this...." It's pointless.

Okay, now I understand that Jarrett is a horrible booker and all, but this is going way to far... Ok, I'm lying. Legend's probably right.

I thought the first Ezek story or two was ok. I like the Ezekiel storyline. I know not everyone does, but I'm a fan of giving Spidey's spider bite something of a reason other than random desire of a radioactive spider to bite a human. I'm also a fan of any Dr. Strange cameo's as well.

I bet Monty Brown could kick Goldberg's ass. POUNCE>SPEAR!!!!

I want to put some of my DVD's on my Hard Drive. Should I use DivX? What's the best program for this? Will "copy protected" DVD's do the wavy shit they do on my VCR?

That's because he doesn't have the POOOOUUUUNNNCCCEEEE!

Wow. Of course, I'd probably buy it as well. If I had cable, that is. I'll do like I've always done with TNA, buy it hoping that it will live up to it's potential and then bitch and moan when it doesn't live up to it.

Smells like shit to me.

I like the committee idea, but put some names on there that would be regulars. They don't have to be their all the time, but make it similar to the NWA committees in the Flair DVD. As for Russo leaving, I'm not surprised. I can't blame him, and I can't resist blaming him.
