Oh man a little rest from work and I'm ready to roll again.

Without posting many lines of exact quotes:

Faith without works is dead,

Show me your faith without works

If you believe(have faith) you will act on that belief and be saved.

And what Bro Brown stated so well was take the Bible doesn't contradict
itself.  If you find contradictory passages then re-evaluate your
interpretation(i.e. solve the formula again, as simultaneous equations)
based on the rest of the Bible.

Skip - yes, I did find a new batch of quotes and quips

Using MS Word for a normal, simple document is a bit like killing
mosquitoes with a laser cannon.
A laser cannon with broken and warped lenses, a dozen bad connections,
vital circuitry in the path of the laser, and a tendency to overheat.
This laser cannon only runs on AAA batteries, of which you need four
thousand. There is a 50% chance that if this laser cannon fires
successfully, it will be in the direction of the operator.
