If someone can provide decent, biblical answers, we may have a valid discussion on the issue. Otherwise, they would certainly serve as rhetorical questions to expose the silliness of modern doomsday prophecies.Puritan Ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240560332777968090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34749839.post-8524616443937038252009-06-26T14:36:39.972-04:002009-06-26T14:36:39.972-04:00Do you folks REALLY want someone to answer the que...Do you folks REALLY want someone to answer the questions you've posted, or are they merely "rhetorical" from your POV?<br /><br />Regards,<br />FredFredhttp://www.studygrowknow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34749839.post-13091852931773781532007-03-31T08:52:00.000-04:002007-03-31T08:52:00.000-04:00Tungsten?

If the cord Gleipnir could bind the Fenris-Wolf, it might bind Satan.<BR/><BR/>'<I>It was made of six things: the noise a cat makes in foot-fall, the beard of a woman, the roots of a rock, the sinews of a bear, the breath of a fish, and the spittle of a bird. And though thou understand not these matters already, yet now thou mayest speedily find certain proof herein, that no lie is told thee: thou must have seen that a woman has no beard, and no sound comes from the leap of a cat, and there are no roots under a rock; and by my troth, all that I have told thee is equally true, though there be some things which thou canst not put to the test.</I>'<BR/><BR/>'<I>The fetter was soft and smooth as a silken ribbon, but as sure and strong as thou shalt now hear. Then, when the fetter was brought to the Æsir, they thanked the messenger well for his errand. Then the Æsir went out upon the lake called Ámsvartnir, to the island called Lyngvi, and summoning the Wolf with them, they showed him the silken ribbon and bade him burst it, saying that it was somewhat stouter than appeared from its thickness. And each passed it to the others, and tested it with the strength of their hands and it did not snap; yet they said the Wolf could break it. Then the Wolf answered: 'Touching this matter of the ribbon, it seems to me that I shall get no glory of it, though I snap asunder so slender a band; but if it be made with cunning and wiles, then, though it seem little, that band shall never come upon my feet.' Then the Æsir answered that he could easily snap apart a slight silken band, he who had before broken great fetters of iron,--'but if thou shalt not be able to burst this band, then thou wilt not be able to frighten the gods; and then we shall unloose thee.' The Wolf said: 'If ye bind me so that I shall not get free again, then ye will act in such a way that it will be late ere I receive help from you; I am unwilling that this band should be laid upon me. Yet rather than that ye should impugn my courage, let some one of you lay his hand in my mouth, for a pledge that this is done in good faith.' Each of the Æsir looked at his neighbor, and none was willing to part with his hand, until Týr stretched out his right hand and laid it in the Wolf's mouth. But when the Wolf lashed out, the fetter became hardened; and the more he struggled against it, the tighter the band was. Then all laughed except Týr: he lost his hand.</I>'<BR/><BR/>Satisfied?<BR/><BR/>Continue blogging -- I enjoy the posts. ;)Turgonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631382534572993042noreply@blogger.com
