Godspeed, Endeavor!

You merely wished the crew of the space shuttle a safe trip. I'm a simple person and I knew what you meant.

This band of idiots that spent all day turning it into something else should get a life.

All you guys do here is cry and complain. The gas is too high, the Kruse auction hurt my feelings, blah blah blah.

And then when someone points out how juvenile you all sound one of your head window lickers runs off to tell Kim.

Which one of you is the hall monitor today?

Darn it missed the whole thing last night had to go get my Oregon medal for being a good guy and joining the Navy years ago.

Now that I've appologized for that, you'll have to find something else to PB&M about for the rest of the day.

However, even as you are busy finding something ELSE to fuss about, PLEASE be PROUD of the USA, and this brave PIONEERING crew!

The successful launch is one of the few GOOD news items this morning.

If those folks wanna ride that roman candle, they could probably use a few lucky rabbit's feet and four leaf clovers as well. :>)

Just hope they don't have to walk under any ladders or have to cross paths with any black cats up there!

Just can't be too careful in these kinds of circumstances. :>)

The expression is found only in 2 John 10, 11 in the King James Version. "If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds." Most recent translations render the Greek word "greeting." It comes from a primary verb meaning to be cheerful. It also has the meaning of "be well." Thus the idea is that to say God speed or greeting is to wish someone well on his journey or in whatever endeavor the person might be engaged. In the text mentioned above John is warning against encouraging, or wishing well false teachers. To bid the false teacher God speed, or greeting, is to indicate that you are in agreement with that teaching and you wish him success in continuing to teach that false doctrine. However, to do this is to invite judgment from God.

But no other Bible will show that !!!!!

Quite often we hear the politicians say "God bless America" and wonder what an agnostic or person of another faith thinks when the comment is made.

Sure does stir up some angst when I ask. I never won friends when I asked these types of questions in Sunday school or catechism either. I can remember the minister breaking his gavel when I persisted in questioning him about the trinity.

Yes you are right --- when you question man -- you will get some interesting responses -- and most times -- it's not that good !

Now that was easy --- have any more questions ?

Who so ever transgreseth and abideth Not in the Doctrine of Christ -- Has Not God -- he that abideth in the Doctrine of Christ -- he has Both the Father and the Son.

IF there come any unto you -- and Bring Not this Doctrine - Receieve him NOT into your home -- Neither Bid him God Speed

If you do bid him God Speed -- you are as EVIL as he is in his deeds...

I see NO RELATION to a Journey In These Passages -- this passage is in relation to each home being Visited (( Receive him NOT into Your house ))

Uhhh....the KJV was in existence in Jesus' time on earth?

Second; It took forty seven clergymen & Scholars chosen for their accurate translation -- DIVIDED INTO SIX COMPANIES who worked independently -- and ALL HAD to AGREE BEFORE it was printed.

If you want to change the Meaning of God Speed --- that's your option -- but the Word does say --- IF you Add or take away from the Word --- you will be Cured --- see Rev. 22: 18 - 19. Third: ALL other English Bibles where taken From the King James -- and the words where some times changed.
