Hi RAF and Diverteach:

RAF >> This has what to do with salvation??????
Salvation? Are we lost? This is the “Current Events” Forum and Jim Meigs (Editor at Popular Mechanics) went up against Rosie on CNN yesterday. This 9/11 “Inside Job” interpretation of the evidence is once again being raised into the consciousness of the American people and the world. How about if you try to point out any errors you see in my Opening Post? You can read about ‘salvation’ on my Gospels Thread here:
http://www.christian-forum.net/index.php?showtopic=9120That would be in the “General Bible Study” Section of this Board. No, we will not be talking about Current Events in that thread . . .

Diverteach >> Oh please, STOP!
Stop? Do you support the “Official Bush Administration / Department of Defense Cover Story” for each of these 9/11 cases? If so, then please offer up your evidence to support your theory. Can you place Flight 93 anywhere near the Shanksville field or Flight 77 anywhere near the Pentagon? How do you explain 47 stories of WTC-7 collapsing neatly into a pile of rubble, just a few hours after being struck by nothing at all? Suppose for one minute that all of these 9/11 Events are the product of an ‘Inside Job,’ then realize the ‘true terrorists’ are still out there and getting away with the murder of our fellow Americans! This is all about The Truth the Whole Truth and nothing but The Truth concerning the events of 9/11.
If any of you do not like this Current Events Topic, then please turn the channel.
In Christ Jesus,
Terral

(First of all, I started this topic, terral, and you are doing nothing but hijacking it. If anyone should 'turn the channel', it is you. Note: The post about the Solomon Islands earthquake has nothing to do with this garbage you are posting.)
My mistake - this was posted to the wrong topic by me. I still stand behind what I wrote, however.Second, Rosie O'Donnel is a divisive figure in American pop culture, and like her cronies Charlie Sheen, Al Gore, Michael Moore and others, they have done everything they can to divide the attentions of the population at large, and continue to proliferate the conspiracy theories they consume and vomit back out on a daily basis for their own profit, and to keep themselves current in the media spotlight. They are media terrorists in my book. They divide the country with thier wacko ideas that they themselves picked up from some lunatic web site. They tell us what we should beleive, make fun of those who do not line up with them, and then live lives that proclaim - no, SCREAM! - it is okay to live without JESUS CHRIST, be unrepentent, live homosexual lifestyles, shout others down, disregard authority - basically everything that JESUS CHRIST, through the Apostle Peter said NOT TO DO:
2pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2pe 2:3
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 2pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
2pe 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
2pe 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
2pe 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
2pe 2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
2pe 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
2pe 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 2pe 2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
2pe 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
2pe 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
2pe 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
2pe 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
2pe 2:16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb --- speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
2pe 2:17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 2pe 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
2pe 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
These are your Rosie O'Donnel's, the ones that tell the simple minded that whatever comes out of their mouth is truth and that they should listen and follow blindly. It is their own vain, pumped up opinion, plain and simple. how can you believe and defend such a person and their actions?
So you know these links are the Whole Truth? I say that these are lies, all of them. I have seen the pictures of the wreckage of the plane that flew into the Pentagon. I have seen the pictures that showed one of the engines and of the landing gear where the plane hit the Pentagon. I have read some of the engineering papers written about the amount of potenitial energy that was released when each plane hit each tower, which was enough to critically weaken the supporting structure of each tower (the fire from the jet fuel was only a contributing factor, but not the main factor that caused the tower to come down with a compression effect). These ar written by engineers, with degrees in physics,etc. I am an engineer by training, and I can understand what they discuss in their articles. There is NO truth to the conspiracy theories you have dragged up again about the towers imploding due to explosives, etc.
Here are links to the opposing and more intelligent side of the 911 debate:
http://home.planet.nl/~reijd050/JoeR/penta...ensions_est.htm (long article about the plane that hit the Pentagon, plenty of pictures for Terral to look at that, including pictures of the wreckage from the plane, etc).
http://www.christian-forum.net/index.php?s...eased&st=15 (A post about the study done debunking accusations that the towers were 'blown up' by explosives placed in key areas to cause them to collapse. It is written in 'engineering-ese', so I took the important parts out and explained them. But for Terral's benefit - and I know i am wasting my time, or at least I suspect I am! - I have included the analysis below).
From the post referenced above:
Here is a link to a paper that you may not understand, but it is well worth the read:
http://www.911myths.com/WTCREPORT.pdf#sear...conspiracy'The paper uses a lot of math. Unless you are a physics major or an engineer (like I am), you will not understand a lot of the information presented. I will save you some time - the conclusion of the paper is that the amount of energy expended due to the impact of the airliners caused the failure of the support columns of the tower. The jet fuel, although a contributing factor, did not bring the towers down. It was the energy expended in the impact and the resulting destruction of the structural support columns of the building that led to the support structure failures. Imagine this - the energy of an airliner impacting one of the towers:
QUOTE
4.3 BOEING 767 AIRCRAFT IMPACT ENERGY DISSIPATION
Now that we have an estimate of the energy needed to collapse the support
structures of one WTC floor we are in a position to evaluate the post-impact dissipation
of the kinetic energy supplied to each of the twin towers by the impacting Boeing 767
aircraft. There have been many estimates of the kinetic energy, Ec, involved in each of
the plane crashes, however, for simplicity, we will use a single value based on an
assumed aircraft mass of 124,000 kg and a velocity at the moment of impact of 220 m/s.
With this mass and velocity, the aircraft impact kinetic energy is equal to,
Ec = ½ x124,000 x (220)^2 J = 3.0 x 10^9 J
QUOTE
...the energy needed to destroy the structural supports
of a WTC tower by an aircraft impact was about 0.6 x 10^9 J.
So there was quite a difference in the amount of energy of the impact versus the energy needed to destroy the structural supports of the a WTC - the impact of the plane exceeded the destructive energy needs by 2.4 x 10^9 J of energy! The planes were easily able to sever the support structures of the floors the planes flew into. Since there is conservation of energy, the rest of the 2.4 x 10^9 J of energy had to go somewhere, and so some was heat (not much) and the rest absorbed by the building but which caused additional stress on the structural members of the floors the planes hit which caused structural weakening. Add to that the sudden introduction of 137 tons of plane into the damaged support structure and I think you can see what the result would be.
The rest of the energy from the impact was absorbed by the building in the form of sway (recoil of the building after it was hit) and the energy dissipated by the destruction of the aircraft it self.
We are talking about a lot of energy being transfered into the building due to the impact - over 2 million Btu's of energy from the collision itself, and that does not include the amount of energy the vapor ball of jet fuel contained. The paper also mentions the fact that the 14 floors that crashed down on tower 1 and the 30 floors that crashed down on tower 2 could indeed cause the building to collapse vertically, similarly to an implosion induced by explosives.
In short, the math shows that the towers were not 'blown up'. Please read the article and make up your own mind...
Oh yeah! isn't today the day we celebrate the RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST?
HE IS RISEN! GLORY TO THE LIVING KING OF GLORY JESUS CHRIST!!!!
HE IS NOT HERE FOR HE HAS RISEN!
