Thanks Gregory, the most substantive (in my view) arguments against Roman Catholic Distinctive's all come out of the Eastern Orthodox camp. I don't want to be the type of apologist that sticks their head in the sand and pretends that there are no good arguments against my position - there are indeed many arguments. As I believe the Orthodox have the most powerful I'm offering several of those arguments up for consideration.

5 Things You Didn't Know About Facebook_2 On February 4, 2004, the social networking website Facebook was launched from a dormitory room at Harvard University. Since then, the network has grown to over 2.41 billion monthly active users, making it one of the most popular websites in the world. Here are 5 shocking facts you didn’t know about this social media giant... Al Pacino Used to be The Company Logo The first logo for Facebook was designed by a friend of Mark Zuckerberg’s named Andrew McCollum, who was Zuckerberg's classmate at Harvard University. The foggy looking face in the logo was actually that of actor Al Pacino. McCollum designed the logo using an image of the actor covered with ones and zeros, representing the ones and zeros that are used to store digital information. Yahoo! Tried to Purchase Facebook in 2007 In 2007, Yahoo! reportedly offered to purchase Facebook for $1 billion. Apparently, Mark Zuckerberg was interested, however, he changed his mind about selling the social network site when the CEO of Yahoo! dropped the offer to only $850 million.

Zuckerberg reportedly discovered that he was colorblind by taking an online test. He chose blue as the main color for Facebook because it was the richest color that he could see. The fact that psychologists say that people associate blue with a sense of trust and security doesn't hurt. Mark Zuckerberg Chose the Name for the “Like” Button Facebook’s ‘Like’ button used to be the ‘Awesome’ button. Facebook engineer Andrew Bosworth said that he and other engineers were enthusiastic about the “Awesome” button, but that the idea was ultimately vetoed by Zuckerberg in 2007. The site eventually settled on the “Like” button, a decision that Bosworth said was met with a decidedly lukewarm reception.

Lou: What about the accusation that God is unforgiving? Consider Adam and Eve. It is their very first offense, and they have to leave their garden home. Why couldn’t God have been the way Jesus said we ought to be, forgiving “seventy times seven”? Matthew 18:21-22. Why couldn’t He have just said, “Well, you’ve made […] The post Questions and Answers (20:8) appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog. View the full article
