“The Scriptures are shallow enough for a babe to come and drink without fear of drowning and deep enough for a theologians to swim in without ever touching the bottom" St. Jerome” ― St. Jerome
IMHO.......
John 3:13-18, AMPC (Amplified Classic Bible)
13 And yet no one has ever gone up to heaven, but there is One Who has come down from heaven—the Son of Man [Himself], [b]Who is (dwells, has His home) in heaven.
14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert [on a pole], so must [so it is necessary that] the Son of Man be lifted up [on the cross],
15 In order that everyone who believes in Him [who cleaves to Him, trusts Him, and relies on Him] may [c]not perish, but have eternal life and [actually] live forever!
16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ([d]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.
18 He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation—he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ’s name.]
Romans 10:9-10 Amplified Bible Classic Edition
9 because if you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [recognizing His power, authority, and majesty as God], and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous—being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation.
Romans 10:13 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
13 For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord] will be saved.
Seems pretty simple to me!
ya!

Not sure about their laws, but it’s not dark out. A headlight out at that time of day shouldn’t matter.
Also, the cop replies “good job, you’re going to jail.” Talk about unprofessional.
That right there is your stereotypical cop on a power trip. What a loser.

Re: JB/Mule Deer

Hi Rolly,
Have posted this before. Have only owned one SHV NF, a 2-1/2-10x42 that did not have an illuminated reticle. While I hunted with it some, I mostly used it as a "test scope" (something to put on rifles I received to review), which would be very recoil-proof with reliable adjustments. This would cut down on the ammo required for sighting-in, etc.
It worked well for close to 4 years, when the adjustments went bat-schidt. So I sent it back to NF, and got a condescending e-mail from their PR guy (who'd replaced the guy who'd been there when I purchased the scope). He said they found numerous "light" ring-marks in the finish, indicating the scope was slipping in the rings, due to not being properly mounted. But he told me they'd refinish the scope and return it to me.
My immediate thought was that, hey, I'd mounted the scope on a bunch of different rifles, which could obviously leave "light" ringmarks in the finish in various locations. But what he didn't know is that I keep a list of all my scopes, along with their serial numbers. The "refinished" scope they "returned" to me had a different serial number.
Have heard from others on the Campfire that Nightforce tends to blame problems with their scopes on improper mounting. Which is why I haven't owned a NF scope since.
John that’s because that is almost always why most scopes change zero and people think the scope broke. They are right most of the time. I wouldn’t say improper mounting. I would say shifting in the rings to be more accurate.

Re: Think you're not a gun dealer?

So, if I sell the 37 guns I plan on selling and they are sent to an FFL for a NICS check on the buyer this rule would not apply to me? Thanks. Not enough information. If you bought them with the specific intention of reselling them to make profit, then .gov would probably consider you a dealer. Intent seems to be the key thing. Sure, we all have the "intent" to get bent over the table, when we buy a gun. That's why guys always buy high, and sell low. For fu cks sake..

They’ll never leave, there is too much to gain by staying. They are already a separate country within Canada. Let’s vote in another prime minister from Quebec and see what more they can get.

Scientific observable FACTS are still science even if they conflict with the religion of some small minority of the population.
And are thus suitable for teaching in public schools. Perhaps you should watch the video, "EXPELLED! No intelligence allowed." I have. The "Intelligence" referenced in the title is "intelligent design" being allowed in science classes. ID is religion, not science, and does not belong in science classes.

Re: Cop roughs up an 18 year old female

I cant watch these. I seriously want to see a concealed carrier pop out of the blue and loosen his brain matter. It would just make me feel better. Why wait for someone else to do it? Not my fight, but it would tickle my dopamine receptors to see someone else do it. So just Iike everyone else, all talk. Too bad. If having self control is what you mean, than sure. Many people are able to talk out of anger while not ruining their life by acting on impulse. It sure doesn't mean that I wouldn't like to see someone else do it though. That's a very judicious way of saying, a lot of people on here talk a lot of shìt with zero intestinal fortitude to follow through with their "big talk".... You'd be correct if the people.you mention are saying things in the form of "I would, I should, I could, etc..." but I don't see that here. These are wishful thoughts and nothing more.

Thanks JB. I really appreciate your candor regarding the NightForce. Do you have a recommendation for me that (without any guarantees) will fit my bill and be in the $1,000 budget range? Tract Torics in my experience are top notch i own 6 if memory serves maybe one or two more and they are excellent in tracking and glass quality. I also have several Tract Torics and they have been excellent so far. A good value for the price.

Re: He got away. Today. (Video)

I went out today. Parked the truck at 2:30 AM. Snoozed for about an hour, until 3:30 AM when another guy I am know showed up. We yacked it up in the parking lot until about 4:30 am. We worked our way into the woods at 5:00. Pitch dark. He turned up a trail to the north. I turned down to the south, the same trail I shot that video on. Set out two hen decoys in a small open turn-around area at the end of the trail. About 5:50 the gobblers started sound off. At least 4 of them at diffferent places, but far enough away that I am sure they were on private land. I called. They stayed vocal until about 6:15-6:30. When they hit the ground, like always, they went dead silent. Never heard another gobble. On top of that, there was a stray dog running around in the distance barking like mad - incessantly. The day was over at noon and I met my buddy back at the parking area. He had one start to come in but said "there was a God damned dog running around barking scared it off." He was the better part of a mile from me and I could heare that dog.
