In the same token I don't understand why God would want to help CLK get more than what he owes for the building. I asked some pretty simple questions regarding to the value of the building which he has yet to answer.

I wasn't looking for an argument, but understand how hard it is for someone of faith to explain to someone who does not and questions it without taking offense.
As I understand it as a Believer, Tyler, the Lord, or (God) for purposes of this discussion, set into motion the entire Universe. This included man's free will, and random chance. If the teenager was harmed/killed needlessly by an errant emergency vehicle, that's just part of random chance. The chances of anything happening that can be explained. The chance that someone is rear-ended on their way home from work today, the chance that someone may win millions of dollars on a $2 lotto ticket, etc. The entire Universe was set-in-motion by the Lord our God - the rest is left up to random chance, and up to the individual to figure out how to avoid disaster, calamity/pain.

Robert's praying on his building's sale, is no different than Tim Tebow doing his praying to the Lord deal. Who knows whether or not it will work. If it makes him feel better, great. Regardless, some Believers believe that everything is God's Will, when in fact MOST everything is probably either man's planning, OR random chance. Nothing more. Robert has the power and responsibility to PLAN his future, perhaps more than he may think, IMO.

Just to be clear, I hope that you get the best possible price for the property. However, by not setting a reserve aren't you setting you situation up for the vultures?

My Dream
I set it up at no reserve for a reason. You are going to be amazed at what will happen. As for another post on this thread, I'm not wanting any more than I owe, but I'll take whatever the Lord gives me. Also as others have posted about when my wife was very ill, they seen the Lord blessing our family.

Well CLK, I don't think any of us are wishing for anything but the best outcome for you, regardless of our religious bickering! Maybe you can buy a few new PCs with the money you get

BTW, have you seen this?
http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/

Might get one for music production if it gets to that level. Efficiency-wise, its amazing that this design hasn't been done before on a large scale. Just look at A/C units, there's a reason they are designed in a cylinder with a fan in the middle.

An "absolute auction."

Building sold at absolute high bid - contingent on satisfying the amount of any delinquent taxes, and or any lien holder may hold title to against the building, right?

Do you consider questioning your faith hatred?

Hatred? As Larry Bible would say . . .

It shows that there is a LITTLE, not much but a LITTLE common sense left. With the ongoing decadance in the world, the common sense will continue to drain away as the world gets even MORE filthy and corrupt.

or

or the 1000th time on this forum, I don't "hate" ________ or anyone. I hate their nasty behavior. It is YOU that uses such unfair claims in an effort to justify your own position on the issue. Not surprising though. It's the standard, liberal modus operandi.
