Bad point!............. My point is that 59 should insult any team into motivation. If you arent insulted theres no point in playing. For those of you who have played football, been in the military, or have a high paid competitive job, you understand what Im saying. Its something coaches and commanders use to motivate their people.

I have played football and was in the military yet still think he made a good point about being ranked 59th based upon past performance of our team. It remains to be seen whether that is an "insult" or not. If the team this year thinks it is better than 59th, by all means let that motivate them; but, the OP was making the point that we shouldn't have a sense of entitlement about this ranking just because we are ND - let's focus on getting it done on the field. Rankings are made by people and they are often wrong. We will see by the end of the season whether that ranking was accurate, too low, or too high. But I'm not sure the players are going to get all that motivated by it one way or the other just because they think they might have been dissed by it. Their primary motivation should come from a desire to be the best and to expect to win every damn game they play - to piss excellence - because they are representing the best university in the country.

Love one another makes th 10 commandmenst obsolete..

SJ, here is what the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches:

1968 The Law of the Gospel fulfills the commandments of the Law. The Lord's Sermon on the Mount, far from abolishing or devaluing the moral prescriptions of the Old Law,[The 10 commandments] releases their hidden potential and has new demands arise from them: it reveals their entire divine and human truth. It does not add new external precepts, but proceeds to reform the heart, the root of human acts, where man chooses between the pure and the impure,22 where faith, hope, and charity are formed and with them the other virtues. The Gospel thus brings the Law to its fullness through imitation of the perfection of the heavenly Father, through forgiveness of enemies and prayer for persecutors, in emulation of the divine generosity.23

Would I sound less like a teenager if I just labeled people and disregarded everything they said, Rush????

Before you have to go to school Monday, don't forget to pop your zits and put on some Clearasil so you will look pretty for the girls.

In the meantime, it is apparent that you don't know very much about liberal Christianity to which I referred, so here is a basic sketch and outline of this topic so that you don't think I just pulled that notion out of my hat:

Please forgive Wiki for labeling people...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Christianity

Hello pot....Mr. Kettle calling.

Congratulations genius. Your depth of thought and your contribution to the topic has been profound.

You should see someone about that sensitive nerve.

No nerve hit whatsoever....but apparently you're not capable of holding down a conversation without labeling people.... Little peepee complex? I withdraw the question....you've obviously got your own cross to bear.

You should mind your own business and quit trying to be an armchair psychiatrist Mr. Lib.

You sound like an angry immature teenager.

Your missing my historic provin catiscism wipe out when Thera blew.. Historic fact

 

It changed the worl... recall Akehenoton in Egyyt satart taliking about a a one menionphisc god? A solar god.. Our Catholic beleif stems from that,

 

Onan, pr bibical belief wa s

Passed over"

 

Just sayon as long as I can speak freely now

I don't know what you are talking about or what cathechism you are reading, but it's not Catholic.

I am finished discussing this topic with you.

Nighty-night SJ.

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." ( John 13:34-35)

 

Love one another makes th 10 commandmenst obsolete.. that is things like don't kill.though shall not commit adultry.

The greatest commandment to which you refer is a summary of the 10 commandments and represents the vertical and horizontal relationship we should have with God and our neighbor. Remember the Sermon on the Mount? Jesus raised the bar when he said that the commandment not to commit murder doesn't mean just murder - it happens when you hate your brother. He added to and provided more explanation and commentary to the 10 commandments. Adultry is commited when you lust in your heart, not just when you commit the act itself.

It is unbiblical and contradictory to Jesus' own words to say the 10 commandments are abolished and don't apply today.

Let's knock off the "liberal" bullshit, shall we??? You've obviously got an agenda here as you've posted it in several different threads. We get it, Rush. Get over yourself.

Yeah, liberal is bull$hit. That's exactly my point.

Hit a nerve did we lib?

Now Rock you know Jesus was human

Jesus was 100% human AND 100% God. It's a mystery but it's true.

He came to overthrow the old Jewish laws as was then listed.

This is unbiblical. Jesus said himself he did not come to abolish the Jewish Mosaic Law but to fulfill it.

Among them was.. I believe St Paul having a vision or dream that the Christian Sect could eat unclean (According to the Jewish Sect things and animals and participate in pagon rituals. On a funnir note is th comic Joey Bishop a TV comic... he was asked by a member of th audience if he wa a Strict Orthadox Jew. He replied no... Im nuts about bacon...

This had to do with God's acceptance of Gentiles and not just Jews. Jews thought they were exclusively God's people and the dreams revealed to him otherwise.

Among the past forbiddon was anything pork... deemed unclean.. That's your ham and bacon today. Jesus to some extent and St Paul said this is stupid crap from Mosis in our Bible. That is why it is the new Testament.

Yes there were some aspects of the Law that formerly were part of God's theocracy in the Old Testament that are no longer applicable, such as dietary laws, but the moral law, i.e., the 10 Commandments are still applicable today even though given to Moses from God in the Old Testament.

The Bible states of one huge migration and wondering 40 years in the desert. That's kind of absurd to even believe.

The seven plagues on Egyypt are also absurd... The Passover.

Are you saying you don't believe these things are actual history? That's what many liberals do to Scripture. They believe what they want and reject what they don't believe is possible; yet, Scripture says that with God, all things are possible. Are you like Thomas Jefferson who didn't believe the miracles of Jesus so he decided to cut out all passages in his Bible which referred to miracles? Many of our Founding Fathers were not Christians but they believed in a Supreme Being, they were Deists. To them God was transcendent, but not immanent.

I was being sarcastic.

But no gay deer or cool font? How's a body to know?

I think it was in Luke. It was 2 Sundays ago. My interpretation of Jesus being thrown out of the synagogues in his hometown. I think. Hell, I'm getting old.

Oh, you are talking about when Jesus said that a prophet is not honored in his own town? Yeah, the folks loved that! They tried to throw him off of a cliff to his death.

How exactly is it an insult to rank a 6-6 team who lost their two best players and is trying to establish a new coach with a new system as the 59th best team in the country? What have we done in recent years to predict otherwise. We need to get rid of the sense of entitlement and go out and actually win some games.

Good point!............

Because Twitter is saying, "I am so ubersarcastic that I poop all over regular sarcasm from great heights!!!!!" (Yeesh, I didn't think I even had to explain that!):llama:

Ok. I thought is was foreplay. My bad.

Oh noRock great topic. Recall he overturned those money chagers? If I can recall his basic teaching was love one and all

Jesus got real angry and threw stuff around. Now that's tough love!

Being with his Father joseph would that not account for Jesus many understandings of tongues?????

I think that because Jesus was (and is) God, that is why He can understand any language.

I'm sure from records now lost.. Jesus knew the Mosai law was built on a erruption.

Moses gave God's Law to the people. Jesus fulfilled it. What is an erruption?

Agreed; is also acceptable. Now if you go the double dipper, brother, you are simply oozing sarcasm!:llama:

The word for that is sargasm.

Why is that gay deer's butt right next to the cool face?

After all of those thought provoking responses, I have no choice but to change my mind.

Wuss!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting topic.

 

If you study the bible isn't Jesus over throwing all Moses, or Jewish beliefs?

SJ

Nope, Jesus came to fulfill the law, every jot and tittle completely, not to abolish it. Them's His Words............

100% meant to be sarcastic (I only omitted Twitter to create added suspense:llama::llama:)

I damn sure missed that! LOL!

I can't tell who is being sarcastic. We need a sarcasm button.

Is that meant to be sarcastic?

:rockon:.......................

Like you are always an idiot in your own back yard?

Chapter and verse please.:llama:

Agreed 100%; sarcasm is the devil's playground!

St. Paul was sarcastic in some of his letters.

Generally, I think the less sarcasm the better.

LOL! How boring!

You can just ask if you don't know. There is not a "don't ask, don't tell" policy at DD as far as I know.

I'd like to see something done about the inability of some readers on this forum to recognize sarcasm.

If you haven't eaten I suggest you do so before reading the menu.

That looks ok, but I think the staff needs to have a different kind of training table, one that will motivate players sufficiently to do their best, or else:
