 ATC |

It was very shortly after they had implemented the new terminal requirements and equipment requirements for airports, after the Cessna and PSA crash here (at Lindberg in San Diego). You needed a transponder and a clearance to enter the airport traffic area and land or take off. The trainer aircraft we had been using had an inoperative transponder and Nugg (the flight school owner) was taking forever to get it fixed. My student wanted to finish up and so I finally said: "OK, the rules say that we can ask for permission to enter and land and ATC can allow it, even if we don't have a transponder" So that's what we did. And, ATC allowed us to enter and land. After landing I had the student ask the controller for taxi back to the runway for takeoff back to Montgomery field. The controller said "Roger Cessna N12345, taxi to Runway 27, squawk code 4321." The controller knew perfectly well that our transponder was inoperative, but the student had to admit, once again, that it was inop. The controller came on, over the mike, with "You can ask to be let in, and we can let you in. But, the rules say you need to have a functioning transponder to fly in the Airport Traffic Area. And we don't need to let you out. I'll see if we can work something out". He let us sit in the runup area for about 15 or 20 minutes (expensive time wasted) before he finally cleared us for takeoff and return to Montgomery. And, in that time, he had called and talked to Nugg because when we got back, Nugg had a little chat with me. |

For my friends x He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!" Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over. |

The Apostle Paul, who wrote most of the New Testament, summed it up well when he wrote… “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:24-28) If you believe in Jesus Christ, you’re in the family of God. But like most earthly families, I assume pointless arguing is a given. |

Hey Vic One of my favourite passages, too (for numerous reasons). In fact, I think we've discussed it before! And also one of my favourite jokes (along with the one about the dude in the flood), sorry you've heard it before. I think it serves as a gentle admonishment to those who would quibble over insignificant differences, such as whether we should allow gay priests. Here, you might like this one, from the same comic: When I was a kid my dad would say, "Emo, do you believe in the Lord?" I'd say, "Yes!" He'd say, "Then stand up and shout Hallelujah!" So I would ... and I'd fall out of the roller coaster |

Hi Vic <<As far as my disputes in the past with valley_forge, I’m done trying to convince him of anything>> that's ok dude, you don't have to convince him of anything. You know what's in your heart, right? And "Forgive, as the Lord forgave you." Easy for me to say, I know, I've missed the pagga, and I don't know what's been said. But I mean it sincerely, mate |

Hi Steve I won’t rehash the reasons why, but it’s not because we disagree on the Bible. I’ve had plenty of respectful disagreements with people on a lot of subjects. Very rarely with him. As far as the disagreements themselves, I think people should go to the Bible to learn the way of salvation; whether salvation is conditional; and whether unconditional election (Calvinism) is Biblical. Many people will perish in eternal condemnation because they’re relying on commandment keeping and works to justify themselves before God and have rejected Jesus Christ as their Saviour. And that’s because they’re listening to men and not God. I only bring it up because I think the vast majority of people, including a lot of self-identified Christians, think commandment keeping and works merit Heaven, the so-called “more good than bad” standard. They oughta at least read the Gospels and Acts, but most won’t. At the very least, they oughta pray to God to reveal the truth to them. Again, most imo won’t. |
