DrNyet Member since Dec-02-06 · Last seen Aug-21-25 Perusing biographically-oriented chess books is my favorite chess activity these days, as opposed to actual study and improvement. Other time sinks are an unfortunate addiction to the Houston Cougars... and reading other members' bios. Living near Bandera -- the "Cowboy Capital of the World" -- in the Texas Hill Country. I can be reached at tku.us; just prepend that domain with mask@. Surname: Eoff. Places I've been active: Abilene (TX), Houston, Baton Rouge, Atlanta, Beaumont (TX), Orlando, Austin, San Antonio. If I could do this more often: > Control Your Emotions: The Zen Master's Guide to Inner Peace. https://youtu.be/nWhv3Z12sUc?si=1RM... Soapbox section: For consideration -- not my original insight: Much delusion is not being aware of our leanings -- where our thoughts and emotions take us. Surely this pollutes our politics among other things. If you understood the gospel, you'd hope it is true. I'm a simple Christian and also think of myself as philosophically Buddhist and politically libertarian. I suspect Christians should focus on the core of the good news, as found in the credal verses dating from mere days after the resurrection. I eschew denominational teachings that go beyond this. I found peace from researching evidence to support the resurrection of Christ and salvation, and feel quite confident about that. Particularly the "minimal facts" as described by Gary Habermas and based on consensus beliefs of professional scholars, including skeptics and athiests. I believe Christianity is seriously misunderstood, including by many Christians. I believe the Bible and Christ's return was fulfilled -- as prophesied -- with the fall of Jerusalem in ~70 A.D and I don't think rituals like attending "church" (especially embracing churchianity and denominations) have anything to do with the future life. "The cost of your favorite government program is the cost of all of them." -- Harry Browne "Watch your mind." -- Steve Hagen (author of Buddhism Plain and Simple) "Daniel's Prophecy Logically Examined: A Biblical Evaluation Of The 70 Weeks," by John Eoff (my late father). "Behold, I Am Coming Quickly: Discovering The Time And Nature Of The Return Of Christ," by Ron McRay. Gary Habermas on dating the Shroud of Turin. A scholar I have found to be careful and reliable (documents facts and considers skeptics' views). I had initially written off the shroud based on carbon-14 dating, but evidence for its authenticity is growing. > Why the Shroud's Middle Age Carbon 14 Dating is Wrong < https://youtube.com/shorts/dbFLwseR... (1m 8s) ====== Concern about wealth disparity seems childish, irrational, and covetous to me. I'm thankful there are billionaires and soon, trillionaires. I'm concerned about the plight of those at the economic bottom but don't think Bill Gates' billions harm or deprive me of any right.

Mar-09-11    wordfunph: <DrNyet: I love collecting and browsing chess books and had well over 300 last time I counted.> we have the same feather.. :) May-10-11    DrNyet: Hmmm... Woody Allen said the thing with feathers was his nephew!? CG needs to alert you when someone posts on your forum (even a limp fake one like this). Jul-05-11    DrNyet: The I Hatem player page is amusing. Nov-20-11    DrNyet: Another fishy chessplayer: Borin Topic Nov-20-11    DrNyet: And of course... Beer Dec-10-11    OhioChessFan: Raymond Allen Weinstein For great poetry, in particular haiku and clerihews. Dec-18-11    DrNyet: Hehe <OhioChessFan> That is amusing. Jan-14-13    hms123: <DrNyet> One choice is to highlight and copy the game moves under the game and then paste them into your engine. A second choice is to click on <review game> (upper right corner) and then on <view> (below the board where it says <PGN: download | view>). That takes you to the pgn with headers. You can then copy and paste that to your engine. The first way is quicker and easier. Jul-21-13    DrNyet: Stumpers player page/forum... hehe.

My email is mmp686868@gmail.com ...You can write when you want ....Thanks...sorry for my english...this is the email correct... Feb-04-21    DrNyet: IIRC I did follow-up via email. Feb-27-21    OhioChessFan: I think Jesus returned in 70 AD and fulfilled many prophecies people incorrectly think are yet to be fulfilled. I've been told I'm a semi-preterist. I haven't really examined any outside literature to know what that means. May-31-21    DrNyet: I haven't been able to post for a while, as reported in the Chessgames account forum. <OhioChessFan> Sorry, I haven't checked my own silly forum regularly... something that influenced me was: Behold, I Am Coming Quickly: Discovering The Time And Nature Of The Return Of Christ, by Ron McRay https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... Also: Preterist Time Statements, by Douglas Wilkinson (but it seems to be out of print or at least not currently available at Amazon) And... Jesus's statement that he would return before some of his listeners had passed away. May-31-21    login: Try/check (own responsibility) this 'contact' for activity Biographer Bistro (kibitz #21504) Taking into account the actual technical abilities shown by 'official cg members' (chiefly the owner of chessgames.com chessforum) I would never ever write any personal information to whatever CG contacts (still) listed on this site anywhere at this moment. GL Jun-19-21    OhioChessFan: I'll have a look at McRay's book when I get an opportunity. Aug-11-21    DrNyet: <OhioChessFan> "I think Jesus returned in 70 AD and fulfilled many prophecies people incorrectly think are yet to be fulfilled." Did you come to that conclusion on your own or were prompted by another source? Just curious. I find it striking that Revelation says ten times that it was about things that were to happen soon or similar wording. The New Testament is full of "preterist statements," as documented by a book whose title includes that term. Aug-11-21    OhioChessFan: Totally on my own. I usually start discussions of Revelation with people by saying, "The very first verse tells when it's talking about". The shocked/bewildered looks I usually get are priceless. I never found the McRay book. I can't say that bothers me much, as I stubbornly avoid reading other people's work on Scriptural matters. Aug-18-21    DrNyet: Very clear thinking IMO <OCF>. Oct-13-21    DrNyet: A note I came across that I saved from my father: Dad on translations 8/20/2017: "I personally highly recommend Greek-English interlinear versions. There are a number of them and they stem for different versions (manuscripts) of the Greek text also. At least you can compare the words as recorded in the Greek with the translator’s opinion of the word (not phrase, or idiom) that best translates the word. It is amazing to see the manner in which some words are translated. There is an online parallel text available at “Biblehub.com” . I have mentioned this previously. My favorite is one by George Ricker Berry. I have another “The NKJV Greek English Interlinear New Testament”. Some of the translations will floor you when you see from what they were translated. All translation is a process of interpretation---the interpretation of the translator (s)."
