Wikipedia:
"Supralapsarianism is the view that God, contemplating man as yet unfallen, chose some to receive eternal life and rejected all others. So a supralapsarian would say that the reprobate (non-elect) vessels of wrath fitted for destruction (Rom. 9:22) were first ordained to that role, and then the means by which they fell into sin was ordained. In other words, supralapsarianism suggests that God's decree of election logically preceded His decree to permit Adam's fall—so that their damnation is first of all an act of divine sovereignty, and only secondarily an act of divine justice."

That was a mind bender! Thanks for the mulligan, Berean.

Linen is a particular fabric - can't quite recall what it's made from. It also finds use in plural form as a term for bedsheets, tablecloths, and the like.

If I got this one sufficiently, then my word is:

"Amalgamate"

Yeah, you got it. It's made from flax fiber then woven into sundry fabrics.

Your word means to put together into one.

New word: "Laconic"

An obscure meaning or purpose.

My word again, due to a blind spot in the posting times, remains: "Laconic".

You got me on this one. I fold.

L99SS · 07-11-2011, 04:36 PM

Well, I stripped a brain gear on this one. Gonna have to sit it out.

CamaroFemme · 07-11-2011, 04:38 PM

Not given to being a chatterbox.

My word: aventurine.

Ooh, I like your understatement of Laconic.

Now, your word. Since I speak French and Spanish as well as English, I recognize your word from French. It is a very obscure word in that language. It means to be flecked with something sparkly, like in the cornea of some people's eyes.
Wow, that was a word I thought I'd never use. Is it really used in English?

New word: "Woe"

It's a mineral. Similar to quartz, I think.

"Concatenate"

Ivas · 07-11-2011, 05:03 PM

The next contender has TWO words to explain since Brandtron and I were nearly simultaneous in our defining of aventurine, even though we ended up with two different explanations.

It is incumbent upon our hero/heroine to come up with both: "concatenate" AND "woe".
Good luck.
