  1. I find it hilarious in this article that Coach Riley seems to have pot smokers pegged out after being with them awhile. Being that he was from Oregon, I would have thought he would have had a head start on this kinda stuff; but it is ludicrous to blame players showing up late to practice as alleged pot users. Furthermore, I think it ain't cool that Gregory was having loose lips at whatever occurred. He has held UNL in enough negative light IMHO. But you would think liberal public Universities could get on the same page on this. Especially the "Power 5" conferences. It could be used as a recruiting tool too, in some conferences rather than others you know? If there is less of a penalty at some schools for a positive test it might encourage players to go there. I think some universal decision by the NCAA needs to be made to make it fair for all NCAA athletes!!!

    I like how a liberal starts a thread about the opposite party. Alinsky much? How about we talk about what your CIC has done or better yet the democrats running for president??? Nevermind...Bush lied people died. Lion, Confederate flag, gays, haters, cops...Look.....nothing to see here but a buch of racists idiots? #welcometoaddamerica

     

    AR made two posts in this entire thread, and neither of them were all that negative. You sound like a complete wackjob.

     

    Obviously you are oblivious to what exactly I am talking about, or you are in agreement with him. It is a known fact that AR is a liberal. The question is how does a liberal start a condescending thread critical of people he isn't ideologically aligned with? You got that Moraine? Can you say deflection? Read it three times slowly if you still don't get it.-----Signed Wackjob

    Word is Scott Frost knows him really well, and supposedly he's bringing his DC but no OC

     

    Scott Frost's dad tells 10/11 Scott knows Mike Riley well. Interpret as you wish...

     

    Only thing to save this hire, bring in Frost as OC and coach-in-waiting, so this would be sort of a Tressel/Frost combo we imagined and hoped for. He's 61, give him 5 years and then let Frost take over...

     

    AMEN to that!

    guys, would jim tressel really introduce himself with, "what up, bitches"? i think we have a fraud in our midst.

    Would a fraud post a picture of his Championship Trophy?

    I think not sir. I think not.

     

    Sir can I bow down to you for killing facebook, youtube, and the internet? In Revelation it says that at the first trumpet of the sock unification brings daylight which will bring the REDemption of the SUPPLANTER(Jim- in Rick James Version, or Hebrew)!!!!

  5. Here is my theory: Jim Tressel will be the next head coach at the University of Nebraska. SE & JT have been working with the NCAA and have reached a settlement. JT will be suspended for the first 3 games of the regular season, with NO postseason ban. Took some time for them to get the NCAA on board with the postseason issue but they've finally agreed. NCAA will put Nebraska under a microscope for the next 3 seasons to ensure no violations of any kind are being committed, with severe penalties for anything that is uncovered. After the 3 year period, normal monitoring and penalties for violations will be back in place. Expect a press conference tomorrow with the announcement. I suspect SE will give JT the ability to choose his own staff, although I think there is a good chance that JT would be thrilled to have Frost on his team!

    :yeah THIS!!! Is jeams the new sock in town? :koolaid2:

    I'd appreciate specific scriptural references of "all sins are the same to God".

     

     

     

    All sins, no matter what they are, result in the same thing...which is death (Romans 6:23). Since they earn the same thing, no one sin is greater than the other for humans...they all get you the same exact result and that is death.

     

    Another area that might help is James 2:10 which states "For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it." NIV. So breaking just one single point of the law is equated to breaking all of it. The authors were attempting to show that a sin is a sin in the eyes of God with no one being greater than the other...all sins are simply humans not in harmony with God. The common Hebrew term translated "sin" is chat·taʼth′; in Greek the usual word is ha·mar·ti′a. In both languages the verb forms (Heb., cha·taʼ′; Gr., ha·mar·ta′no) mean "miss," in the sense of missing or not reaching a goal, way, mark, or right point. That's gives a better working verb to describe sin and shows that God has a plan (bullseye) that we need to follow (hit with our arrow shot) and that we often miss that mark.

     

    I would say there is one outlier/caveat for sin and that is if you blaspheme God's Holy Spirit...which is said to be a sin above all others and unforgivable (Mark 3:29). So I suppose all sins EXCEPT that one are treated the same...they all earn the same thing and they are all equally able to be redeemed/forgiven by God provided we stop doing them.

     

    So, I misspoke earlier...all sin is not the same to God...99.99% of sins are with the .01% coming in the form of blaspheming the Holy Spirit which is the only sin treated differently.

     

     

    Again, respectfully, I disagree.

     

    I think it's incorrect to take those parts of scripture and turn them into the statement "all sin is the same in the eyes of God". Because that is not what they say.

     

    Sin is the great equalizer, I do agree with you on this. Every person is equally a sinner by nature and by choice and separated from God because of it. I think Romans 6 and James 2 speak towards the penalty of all sin being equal, but not the entirety of sin. And I know there are several places in Scripture that speak towards the uniqueness or differentiation between different kinds of sin:

     

    - The sacrificial law of Moses differentiate between different types and severities of sin. That's why a thief paid restitution, an occult practitioner was banished, and a fornicator was put to death. Also why different animal sacrifices were required for different sins.

     

    - Numbers 15 differentiates between unintentional sin and sins of the "high hand" which are blatant and intention (think middle finger to the sky)

     

    - Deuteronomy 18:12 and 27:15 list specific sins, not the entirety of sin, and call them abominations or cursed

     

    - You already mentioned blaspheming the Spirit

     

    - Luke 20:47 Jesus says that the Pharisees will receive a greater condemnation because of their self-righteous religious pride "...who devour widows' houses and xfor a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”

     

    - He also told Pilate that Judas had committed a greater sin in John 19:11: "Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore ehe who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.”

     

    - John differentiates between sin that leads to death and sin that doesn't lead to death in his first letter: "If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death. "(1 John 5:16-17, ESV)

     

    - In 1 Corinthians 6 Paul differentiates sexual/lustful sin as different than all other sin because it is a sin against a person's own body. Whatever that means.

     

    - In Matthew 11 Jesus says that it will be more bearable for for Sodom than Capernaum on the day of judgment because of their refusal to believe and repent.

     

    - Luke 12:47-48 speaking in parable about the second coming and judgment, says this: "And that servant who knew his master's will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating. But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more."

     

     

    So I think I understand your point but still disagree and think it is dangerous to say all sin is the same. The Bible speaks of different types of sin, different severity of sin, and more grievous warnings of certain types of sin. Further, not even looking at it from a scriptural standpoint, logically it's obvious that all sin is not the same, just based on immediate effect and consequence. If someone steals a toy, while it's sinful, it does not have any comparable common consequence compared to someone raping a child.

     

    How "open" will soceity be in the future about a person's "natural" carnal desire.

    I think you both have excellent scriptural points. To bad national coalitions of gays and straights can't have civil conversations like you all do! FWIW If people do not delve into the word like you all have, some may NEVER know what they are doing is sinning IMHO. Goes back to the greatest commandment. Once you do that and have that personal relationship, God will convict people's heart and show them what is sin.

  8. Pretty epic editorial from a gay rights supporter.

     

    http://www.theblaze....duck-you-to-ae/

     

    How is this guy a gay rights supporter?? His own website says he believes gay marriage is a state's rights issue. Meaning he's fine if states ban gay marriage. That's not a gay rights supporter, sorry to say. http://www.rootforam...com/Issues.html

     

    Also, it is extremely hard to take anyone seriously when the tagline to his bio reads: Wayne’s latest book is: The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide: How to Survive, Thrive, and Prosper During Obamageddon.

     

    After reading his article, it's hard not to just shake my head in disbelief. He's either the dumbest person alive or is pretending to be in order to get page views.

     

    Well I guess I have to start questioning people whether they mean what they say. I guess I will start with PBHO.

     

    [Yet I’ve always differed from my fellow conservatives on one issue – gay rights. Like my hero Barry Goldwater, I have no problem with gays. Goldwater is the father of the modern day conservative movement, yet he too was pro-gay rights. He once said of gays in the military, “I don’t care if they’re straight, I only care if they shoot straight.]

     

    I guess in your small world a conservative republican cannot support "gay rights". I guess I need to be more open minded like you. :hmmph
