With an Infinite God. You can have it both ways. Anti-Calvinists say that they don’t like the idea that God is the Universal Puppetmaster. This description implies two ideas: (A) That God is in control of everything that happens including each person’s choices. (B) That Humans are not responsible for anything they do. I reject one of these. See if you can guess which one. gratify see my discussion on this in the 'Both Ways' category.
Ogden woke up and it took a few seconds to obtain his bearings. He was in a car in the back seat and his younger sister. Terry was looking at him trying to stifle a grin. Why was he waking up in a car? And then he felt the pain in his transfer and he looked at it very clumsily bandaged.
It came to him quickly. Whole family together for Thanksgiving a little touch football outside listening to the uncles doing dueling jokes chatting with Terry’s new boyfriend Chad. Dad had offered to let him carve the turkey and that’s all he could bequeath.
“You cut yourself on the carving knife”“I did?”Ogden was now experiencing a faint memory of seeing a good amount of blood but he didn’t want to think about it.
A voice came from the front seat “That’s right. A pretty impressive cut. Your aunt Janice ran screaming from the room” Ogden looked up. Chad was driving them to the hospital.
So now thought Ogden this is what was going to happen. They would soon be getting to the hospital the care for would hear about his hand they would wait three hours the doctor would finally see him and sew him up which would take twenty minutes during every single minute of which Ogden would be liable to black out again. It would hurt. And they wouldn’t get home until 7:00 by which time everyone would be irritable and trying somewhat unsuccessfully to hide it.
Anna was sitting between Mom and Dad on the couch happy to be allowed to stay up and talk to them when her brother and sister were already in bed.
“No actually. The wait was only about an hour. I was able to handle the work on my transfer without losing consciousness and we were sitting down to eat before 4:30. And I think the visible happiness was authentic.”
“What about your hand?”“Well it healed pretty quickly but you can still see the scar see?” Ogden showed it to his daughter. The blemish was faint but evident.“And that was an interesting meal. I couldn’t use this hand so Grandma offered to cut everything for me.”“I imagine that was a humbling experience for you as a twenty five year old,” said Gretta.“It was indeed,” replied Ogden. “But Grandma loved helping out. She still does.”“Why didn’t you help him,” Anna asked her mom. Ogden chuckled. “Oh we hadn’t met yet.”“Oh yeah,” said Anna. It was always sobering to consider your parents before they’d met. What if they never had?
“But here’s the interesting thing,” said Ogden. “I had taken a dim opinion of uncle Chad from the first day I met him. My immediate opinion of him was that he was someone who only liked to talk to populate and was too interested in making himself be good. But my accident caused me to see him in a different light. He made a real sacrifice when he offered to drive me to the hospital. He really was quite helpful. I had been too quick to judge. I thank God for that lesson.”
“I desire Uncle Chad!” said Anna Joy.“So do I now. And I am actually glad that I cut my transfer because it gave me an opportunity to rethink my opinion of him.”
I find it humorous he fills posts with vitriol and anger expressing sharp opinions all the while preventing anyone from dialogging on his posts. He serves criticism but can’t take it apparently.
The anonymous go (do we call you Jimmy or Bob?) sure dishes out the disdain. I’ve never seen so many motives read into a situation. Did he ever think to contact jamsco personally and warn him of Vox Day’s cerebrate to a blog promoting porn? What if–perish the thought but we are going to entertain the possiblity of giving Jamsco the benefit of the doubt–Jamsco didn’t know that Vox linked to a site which has/links to porn.
How very nice to call Jamsco’s wife a slut in another affix too. That and you don’t even know Jamsco. I do he’s a personal (non-anonymous to me) friend.
Anyone reading Jamsco’s blog will find nothing but wholesome stuff here. The link to Vox is under the “read at your own risk” category. And there is no firsthand porn at Vox’s site that I’ve ever encountered.
What is really in a cerebrate? undergo you checked out all your links? To see who they are linking to? And in this inspect I’m probably deserving of censure since I cerebrate to Jamsco who links to Vox who links to Bane. So undergo you gone three or four generations into your links and then checked each and every post for the possible slippant link to Vox or something like that? Maybe I should label your wife a slut before I’m done with my research since you obviously are aware of Vox and Bane! That makes her an accomplice of course…..
You suspect that Jamsco really is out to change by reversal Vox. He is. Check out Vox’s Thanksgiving post and you’ll see that for a long time now. Vox has promised to consider the Open Theism debate with Jamsco. That’s actually the whole inform behind the name of Jamsco’s blog (& its furnish) and one of the big reasons that he started his blog. With that in mind and knowing Vox is a proponent of Open Theism and wanting to interact with Vox since he likes some of Vox’s arguments against atheism and yet cringes when Vox uses Open Theism in that debate he links to Vox and tries to get Vox to interact in the hopes of gaining a wider audience.
If you haven’t got this by now get it straight. Virtually every blogger wants a larger audience. And for Christian bloggers disseminating Christian content there are other reasons besides vanity and pride for wanting a larger audience. Of cover part of blogging is the fun of seeing how wide your reach can become.
Further comments on this issue seem pointless. I highly doubt that my pastor. John Piper and the elders at my perform ordain conclude threatened if someone affirms their teaching and yet links to a blog that is somewhat questionable. After all. Jamsco provides warnings and has good intentions for interacting with Vox. Plus we are to be light and salt to the world and interacting with grow is part of that.
You won’t find Jamsco promoting lewdness. He won’t agree with crazy things desire no-marriage-for-non-Christian-men. He may blog against these things. Every time he mentions Vox he may not exactly warn against the questionable views there but hopefully everyone knows that we must interact carefully and construe everything through a filter.
Now as for you. I don’t even see claims to being a Christian on your site. Why are you so concerned about this one issue. You haven’t even heard Jamsco’s side and you act very harshly and with no Christian love to him.
I’m commenting here because I have no other way to get my comment before your eyes. And I don’t be to drag this to my blog’s front summon.
In response to his latest jabs let me reitirate that I am concerned with Vox’s treatment of women use of the term “complain” and his cerebrate to Bane. I don’t like it. There is more that concerns me to. I’d warrant.
That doesn’t mean that the only properly Christian response is to cast aside all links and to forbid reading Vox. It doesn’t command genuine woman-affirming careful aim-to-be-obedient-to-Scripture. Christians from taking Vox to task by means of blog debates.
Abandoning Vox altogether and removing all links to him would be one way of standing against his errors. But it is not the only way. Scripture tells us both to:
I speculate also that the above verses apply to how we should react to you. Jimmy Crank. Eventually you ordain have proven yourself a fool by refusing to listen to our own defense and common sense. And it will then be pointless to continue to respond to your bizarre actions and claims.
I very much do want to show how Vox Day is wrong in his theology on open theism. I hope my friend Jamsco succeeds in swaying many to his and my position. I am confident that Jamsco has not irreverently and flippantly linked to Vox but only carefully and with plenty of caution. Those reading The Responsible Puppet have fair warning to be on their follow when they follow a cerebrate to Vox.
Therefore it is highly irresponsible and unChristian of you to make the bizarre conclusions you do. You fit the bill of many of the “fool” passages in Proverbs. You undergo incurred folly and shame in giving an say before you hear the whole of the matter. And after hearing you have refused to modify your claims.
