Good question. I don't think it's the term that is important. I'm referring to the idea or principle that underlies Paul's explanations in Romans 6 of being enslaved to sin and being set free from sin. For example, in the verse I quoted Paul says, "Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?" (Romans 6:16) Is Paul referring to some "law" written in God's Law of Moses, or to some "law" that wouldn't exist unless it is found somewhere in Scripture? I don't think so. He seems to be referring to a principle that exists without being explicitly created by a declaration of God, but is built into human nature.

Old Mrs. Abramowitz went to the butcher shop looking for a chicken for dinner. She asked the butcher to see his selection. He only had one chicken left but did not disclose this to Mrs. Abramowitz. He kept the chickens in the bin below the showcase and so he reached down and pulled out his last chicken. He put it on the scale, Mrs. Abramowitz eyed the weight and asked if he had one a little larger. "Yes," he replied. He took the chicken and lowered it down to the empty bin, shook it against the side and brought it back out. This time when he placed it on the scale his trained thumb hung just a little bit on the edge of the scale. Catching what happened, Mrs. Abramowitz said, "That is fine, I'll take both of them."

Chaim Yankel managed to obtain his PhD in psychology and opened a practice. But his real dream was to be an expert witness in court and soon enough he got his first opportunity to testify. He sat down in the witness chair, unaware that its rear legs were set precariously on the back of the raised platform. "Will you state your name?" asked the district attorney. Tilting back in his chair Chaim Yankel opened his mouth to answer, but instead catapulted head-over-heels backward and landed in a stack of exhibits and recording equipment. Everyone watched in stunned silence as Chaim Yankel extricated himself, rearranged his disheveled hair and was reseated on the witness stand. It was such an embarrassing scene for Chaim Yankel who was mortified. "Well, doctor," continued the district attorney without changing expression, "we could start with an easier question."

Two older couples, the Rosenbergs and the Scheiners were enjoying friendly conversation when one of the men asked the other, "Moishe, how was the memory clinic you went to last month?" "Outstanding," Moishe replied. "They taught us all the latest psychological techniques, like visualization, association, and so on. It was great. I haven't had a problem since." "Sounds like something I could use. What was the name of the clinic?" Moishe went blank. He thought and thought, but couldn't remember. Then a smile broke across his face and he asked, "What do you call that flower with the long stem and thorns?" "You mean a rose?" "Yes, that's it!" Moishe turned to his wife, "Hey Rose, what was the name of that memory clinic?"

HCH response will probably be: Do not bother me with the facts.

You need to review "order of mathematical operations" 6+10x2=26 Sorry, your whole prophecy just blew up!

HCH, you have an active imagination.

I think this sums it up very well.

I think that if we were to identify from Scripture the nature of said WORK, we would have a clearer picture of "the night." In brief summary form, Id say its not related to a specific date or time period as much as it is talking about people losing the right/ability to do that "work." Just as Rev 3:10 warns of a "test" that will come to every person on Earth; it gives no specific indications of dates or time periods.

Yes, I stand corrected. I was thinking about that after I posted and realized for us it was on Sunday evenings. :)

Yep us too, but I think they were on on Sundays or maybe it was Saturdays!!

Law is Holy ? Rom 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Yes, I think so. But their music will live on, if I have anything to do with it. We used to watch them on Friday night TV, Gordy Tap & Ed Sullivan type TV :)

5 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Disney World On this day in 1971, about 10,000 visitors converged near Orlando, Florida, to witness the grand opening of Walt Disney World. Here are five interesting tidbits you probably didn't know about Disney World... The American Flags Flown at Walt Disney World Aren’t Official If visitors to Disney World look closely, they will discover that the American flags flying there have a different number of stripes or stars. The U.S. Flag Code states that flags flown after dark have to be illuminated, and this is how Disney avoids this requirement. However, the one flag located in Town Square is official and lowered every evening in accordance with protocol. The Boardwalk Inn Resort Chairs Have Both a Purpose and Names When visitors enter the lobby at the Boardwalk Inn Resort, they may notice two chairs near the fireplace that can give them the creeps. They are Nanny Chairs, which are copies of boardwalk carousel chairs meant for nannies or parents to sit on as their kids ride on the carousel; both chairs have names placed on the back. Near the gym along the boardwalk, there are other chairs that are named Alix, Todd, Paul, and Carrie. There Are Vast Tunnels Underneath Disney World A warren of underground tunnels lies underneath Disney World. These tunnels help employees get around the park more easily. The company color-codes the walls in the tunnels to make it easier for employees to find their way, and they have the fun of zipping around on battery-operated vehicles that are similar to a golf cart. Guests who are lucky enough to take the Keys to the Kingdom tour are allowed in the tunnels, but they are the only ones that can do so. There’s a Reason You Smell Popcorn on Main Street Disney likes to have a little fun and pumps scents into the queues and rides as well as along Main Street at the Magic Kingdom. Sometimes Main Street smells like baking cookies, and other times, it smells like popcorn. However, if visitors pass by the ice cream parlor on the plaza, the waffle cone smell is the real thing. Families May Decorate a Christmas Tree Any Day of the Year For families who are really into the holidays, the Christmas Store offers an opportunity to decorate a Christmas tree every day. All they have to do is head to the store early; each day, a family is chosen to decorate the tree that will be displayed that day. In addition to placing the decorations, the honor includes having your family’s name posted as the decorators for that day.

“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” (John 9:3-5) From the context of this verse, I think Jesus was somehow speaking about the work needed while He was on earth. Alternatively, He could have been speaking of a time when people's faith was so dark that they quit believing in miracles and the power of God's Holy Spirit - that the age of miracles ended with the death of the apostles. Kinda like many people believe now.
