What difference would gender make. What counts is do you know the scriptures say.

Well now that you got that off your chest, how does it relate to the Trinity One-on-One discussion?
AMR
Kudos to you, AMR for the debate!
Irregardless whether I agree with your view of the doctrine (which I do, BTW), your debating skills were certainly up to par.
My comment on this statement .......
Not just that the posts were long. Anyone can make a long post. But the posts that gave a full explanation of one point without jumping all over the map before moving on to another.

..... is that I sorely miss when these type of forums had long, in-depth posts that dug deep into the matter being discussed; instead of the "flyby answer and move along" way that has become popular.

Kind words. Thank you, Tambora.
I agree. As A4T implied, the world gets smaller daily with technological advances and we have grown impatient with anything that requires more than a few minutes of our attention.
AMR
I do.
So do i, she told me in a neg rep last year after i called her a dishonest man in a neg rep i gave her because i used to assume she was a man.
Now she could still really be a he, and just lied in that rep, who knows.
It's in my Webster dictionary.

Heh. Quick, everyone buy this book:

A good read. (I would quote the entry on the word in question, but it would violate my "be nice" pledge for the rest of the month.

Definition of IRREGARDLESS
nonstandard
: regardless
Usage Discussion of IRREGARDLESS
Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.
Examples of IRREGARDLESS
I told them that irregardless of what you read in books, they's some members of the theatrical profession that occasionally visits the place where they sleep. —Ring Lardner, The Big Town, 1921
Origin of IRREGARDLESS
probably blend of irrespective and regardless
First Known Use: circa 1912

You said it wasn't a word. Looks like you were wrong.
There are many words that get added because they end up in common usage, even if incorrect. I am just suggesting that proper English would not use it even if it is recognized now.
Swears and slang may be words, but that does not make them the best choice to communicate intelligently.

Funny thing though, that word is neither slang nor swear and what you call proper right now, would have been considered a travesty of the english language 200 years ago.

Dang it. That lets out an awful lot of us rednecks. We'd just as well put some duct tape over our mouths and sit around on our thumbs. :sigh:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless It is not good English, so why use it?
That's how all words get started.
There wasn't a beginning book that specified all the words that should be used properly. People just started communicating any way they could.
Who says I was trying to communicate intelligently?
hehe!
You ain't doing it right.
