For 500 tokens, you can have your own custom title below your name in your posts. Custom titles are limited to 40 characters and cannot contain any HTML or bbcode. They must also conform to the standards to this site (no profanity, no attacks on others). Each time you change your custom title will cost an additional 500 tokens.

I swear to Dog: the only thing that kept me from posting something similar when I first saw that request ...was my totally inexplicable probationary status!

If I can't have two lines of text lined up as it is above, then the following will suffice:

δουλος ιησου χ�ιστου
For those who's Greek is a bit rusty, a less pedantic version of this would be: servant of Jesus Christ.
I wanted the Greek for a reason. The word δουλος (transliterated doulos) means slave. Most modern translations soften it to "servant," thus robbing the reader of its true meaning. One needs to dig deeper into the Greek language to discover this. Strong's concordance or popular lexicons do not do it justice.

It is the Greek word that carries the full weight of the meaning, and it is the word that defines my life. It has a very special intimate meaning to me, which is why I chose it.
Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

And what was used for servant when translated to Greek becomes child.

I would like to get: "In the name of Allah | The Most Merciful"
(Which is exactly 40 characters btw)
Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" without being put to the test?
We have tested those before them, for GOD must distinguish those who are truthful, and He must expose the liars.

(Quran 29:2-3)

We who live are we who fight? (Sorry. My Latin conjugation is a bit rusty.)

Meant to say: Those who live are those who fight.
