Here is an image of the control, just updated.
The new constructor is: x, y, sizeType, is3P, parent
Where is3P is a Boolean, true indicating a z option.
The reason I am not uploading the file is due to the fact that there are a few things I would like to tweak.

This is an example of the ordered pair control.
Currently it only works for x, y coordinates, but I will add a z coordinate option today and upload it.
constructor: x, y, sizeType, parent
sizeType can be 1, 2, or 3.
1: single number only
2: up to 3 numbers, or one negative sign and 2 numbers
3: up to 5 numbers, or one negative sign and 4 numbers

Here is an image of the new ordered pair control, it is not completely finished and I am going to go through and polish up my code a little.
I have also fixed several issues that caused instability.

So in the past few weeks I have done absolutely jack squat when it comes to this project, and that was due to lack of time. School has ended so I will be getting back to working on this.

The passage is this: "Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." New International Version (©2011)
I wasn't sure which one to choose, because there are so many translations. On a side note, they really should get rid of all the different translations, go back into the scripture, retranslate it, and have the one and only bible. Having 10000 versions only adds to peoples confusion.
It looks like he is saying this to his apostles, but he could have been talking about the human race. It looks like he could have been talking to his apostles, in which case it is true. John did not die a martyrs death and "saw Jesus coming in his kingdom", he wrote the Book of Revelation, which is about Jesus's second coming based on what had been revealed to him, before he died.
EDIT: Added more about Paul, Hell
He didn't shout at Peter over circumcision, It was because Peter wouldn't eat with gentiles for not strictly following Jewish customs, which is much wider than circumcision alone. He also didn't go to convert the Emperor, but tried to use his right as a Roman citizen to appeal what he was being charged with.
He did say that you could get into heaven on faith alone, and this is why protestants teach this.
A lot of what Paul did was try and convert gentiles, and as he didn't walk with Jesus, he probably taught some things differently than what Jesus said. Even though of this, how he converted is very interesting.
It is obvious what hell is, from even what is described there in the passages that you provided. Also I believe there are references to hell in the old testament, but I would rather not look those up right now, as it is late.

how would it be a waste of your time to study the book that you believe holds the world's ultimate truths?
as for myself, it was studying the bible that led me to stop believing in it. i started out reading it believing exactly as you do, but, the more i read, the more obvious it seemed that it was not a contiguous whole but rather a big jumble of contradictory writings from hundreds of different authors. the jesus portrayed in the gospels is completely unlike the jesus described by his self-proclaimed disciple, paul. similarly, the world described in the old testament (complete with the Hades like She'ol etcetera) is completely unlike the one described by jesus, which, in turn is completely unlike the one described by paul, which, in turn, is completely unlike the one described by the catholic church and so on. there are little things all throughout as well, like jesus claiming that he would return before the last of his 12 disciples had died, that just don't work.
I myself have actually read the bible multiple times, and I think anyone who is Christian should because frankly almost no one knows anything about their faith. First, would you point out where Jesus said that he would return before the last of his 12 disciples died, for I don't remember that. The Hell described by Jesus is like the Hell described by the Catholic Church, at least as far as I know. Now about Paul... Paul was born a Roman and had until he suddenly turned to Jesus, after Jesus's death, and was raised in that culture. Paul was Jewish, but his family were Roman citizens. He brought a lot of that culture in with him and his teachings reflect that. You will also notice that he was at odds with Peter at times. How Paul described Jesus is different from the disciples who wrote the Gospels because he never was actually with Jesus.

@pimathbraniac The people that try and date the bible are also the ones that take everything the bible says at face value, when you actually have to read deeper into it to get the actual meaning. The bible is filled with symbolism, and that frustrates me, but that is how ancient peoples wrote things.

How has Christianity been proven wrong? Christianity has a definitive age but Judaism dose not, and that is where Christianity is derived.

Well, God didn't create the world in 7 days so its quite possible. God is not bound by time, so 10 billion years to us could seem like 1 day to God. Of course we will never know or be able to understand this.
When it comes to souls, perhaps we are flashed like EEPROM chips??? We will never know, if someone has died and asked him, they haven't come back yet.
You're right. According to Genesis, god created not only the world, but everything in 6 days. On the seventh day he rested and saw that it was good. Regardless of whether or not you believe gods existence to be infinite or not, 6 days is pretty clear. This suggest that the act of god creating the universe began time and his work took a measure of six days. Even if a being exists outside of the existence of the universe as we know it I find it extremely difficult to believe the that being would not be able to grasp a concept like the measure of time, and that furthermore it would be reported incorrectly.
What I meant was that the people who wrote genesis put the story of how we were created into 6 days so that people would be able to have a grasp of it since 6 days is basically a work week.

All of this depends though on what you consider evidence, and that varies from person to person.

I saw this thread and I knew I had to jump in.
I have an intersting relligious development in my 16 years of life. When I was a wee little lad, my brother and I used to blame all the bad things on "God and Jesus". We used to say it was all their fault. As we grew older we went through a super religious phase. Now that I'm older, I am agnostic, not atheist, but agnostic. I find the concept of religion to be annoying, but Chrisitanity by far really upsets me. As a generalization, Christians believe that they are the only religion and that all other religions are completely false. They feel they will be the ones to live while everyone else suffers in H E double hockey sticks. Zero tolerance...
At Muslims have some sort of respect for Christianity because of the same sort of belief in one supreme being.
Religion in general, however, is silly. We use it like myths to explain things we really can't. We use it only when it suits us and when we feel like we need something to make us feel better. Also, I feel that all religions are false. They have no truth in them at all. My opinion on death might seem... strange, however. To me death is death. I do not fear death because its not like after you die you're gonna be all upset that you're dead right? (Yeah that's pretty bad...) It just happens, there's no afterlife just an end.
This is very incorrect... The only Christians that say that their faith is the only one that goes to heaven are the people that probably attend a church similar to the Westborough Baptist Church. For example I am Catholic, and I have heared, in more than one serman, that if you are a good person and believe in God you probably will go to heaven. Catholics have had good relations with Jews for years and I think we are also trying to improve relations with Muslims. Also when it comes to tolerance, the first colony in America to allow religious freedom, as in actual religious freedom, was the Catholic colony at Baltimore. As far as I know most Christians are very tolerant, so are Jews and Muslims.

The bible is the same, at least among Catholics and Protestants. The main difference between Catholics and Protestants, at least from what I have observed, is that Catholics believe that the pope is our spiritual guide and that we can go to heaven not on faith alone but also with good works, and Protestants believe you can get to heaven on faith alone and that everything is only between you and God and that there shouldn't be a middle man.

Not every religion, the Christian, Jewish and I think Muslim God are all the same. I believe the Jews have the same view of god as Christians do, although I cant speak for Muslims as I don't know much about them. The only major difference is how they worship, what they believe about Jesus, and Christians believe in the trinity.
