The new arrow system can be handy, but doesn't always give expected results on my smartphone, especially on long threads. Y'all do know I use a smartphone, right?

Oh, that's right, you do know. You just don't care.

would be ok if they would go back to including the line of 'replying to' that they eliminated for some ungodly reason.
Is kind of clunky.
I've asked Lee to put back that replying to line.
Perhaps if more people ask it might get done.
with all the coin we generate for CNET thru click-thru they should jump at the chance to get the engineers right on it.... Yeah, that's the ticket! :^)

CNET owned by CBS....liberal media. How often do people get their money back when liberals already have their hooks in it?
tell us how you really feel! :^)
I think the actual quote "The _love_ of money is the root of all evil" somewhat applies... But then, people say I never had any ambition to make a lot of cash - and they are right, I reckon. In my previous long (33 years at the same company!) career I made a fair living but could not afford things I _wanted_ but usually had plenty for what I really _needed_. Insert Rolling Stones' beautiful chorus here... :^)
Rick " Get your Ya Ya's out " and "Between the Buttons" are among my fave albums - though it's quite hard to choose a "best" from those guys...
The usual version implies Christians can't be prosperous; 'money is sinful'.
The full teaching is at 1Tim 6:9,10. It's aimed at a particular person- who may well be a Christian- and is truthful. Therefore it's not a 'scold scripture' as such, but a wise forewarning. (Our latest Bible says "senseless and injurious things", not "evil".)
Cf. Ec 7:11,12.
Much more about money, all useful.
Amazing what a bit of fellowship can do, eh?
Here's hoping we all survive to see at least a bit of the future - I've got a couple, maybe three decades left in my "mortal coil" so-to-speak! After _that_ I, well, will have to "see"... :^)
Cheers to you, ya Bible-thumpa! ![]()
Rick
James 4:13,14.
And, that was written for and to "saints", certified so by the Bible.
in one of his ditties : "one never knows, does one?"
Rick " top _that_ arcane tangential reference for obscurity ! " Jones
Like James 4:13. We know the quick version: 'If the good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise.'
Context, my saints comment, reinforces the message.
Where did I get it? Fellowship with the right people. Heb 10:24,25. That also was addressed to saints, who were slacking off. Even back then. How much more so, then ...
A certain Ethiopian Jewish convert was a very superior person, as I learned from my Bible teachers. Yet he didn't know everything and had the humility to say so. His humility gave him immortality. Acts 8:26-39.
I always get worried when someone distinguishes "right" people from whatever the rest are called... :^)
Just kidding (mostly). I _think_ I know what you mean by that - though I suppose I could be wrong and need elucidation, similar to your noted paragraphs from Acts
where the eunuch asks for guidance regarding the passages in Isaiah?
And in today's "constant news cycle" being filled with politics, the "right" people rail against the "left" ones, and vice-versa - or so it seems, though of course that ain't exactly "new" either... :^)
Rick " just being my impish self " Jones
Mr Ziff or Mr Davis. Diane the Mod was at pains to point out they no longer applied. Sheesh. No sense of humor. ![]()
Liberal??? That's "someone who throws money at a problem". CBS corporate clings to it.
