Super-Sovereignty VS. Free Will

Image
                                                          I want as many to be saved as possible. So, I try to eliminate any unnecessary barriers that block one  from God.   Consider former Christian and now Atheist Vel who calls herself " Club Schadenfreude".  Besides her video with TV evangelist Ray Comfort, she and I bantered on WordPress. Her complaint was "The bible teaches Calvinist predestination. That is, this god already chose who it will save, then damns the rest through no fault of their own."  And "Your god has no interest in free will per your own bible, that states that this god has already chosen who it will allow to be a Christian."     First, some explain that the words predestinate and predestinated as used in the Bible simply mean that whatever path we chose, we would naturally arrive at the...

Gender & Deception

One in Four Are Victims ???

Image
Originally, 1:4 warned of a hill's steepness in the 1970s UK, before being replaced by road signs saying 25%.  This formerly most common of hazardous inclines meant that every four units of a road's horizontal distance had one unit of vertical rise.  Then in the late 1980s, British media began a misguided campaign to accentuate mental problems, by declaring that *one in four* people suffered mental illness at one time, imitating the road sign warning. Later, others copied this idea, publicly declaring that *one in four* women suffered ongoing domestic violence and *one in four* women were sexual assault victims. Then in 2025 I saw an ad saying that *one in four* Jewish Americans were victims of hate last year.  I acknowledge that such abuses have sometimes occurred, and I denounce such abuse of women and Jewish people. However, these supposed statistics make men look terrible, and Gentile people terrible. That is, everyone not Jewish. Also, this would reflect on Christian...

Jonah, the "Whale", and Fishy Claims

Image
                                          Dear Pastor Lee, To start with splendid harmony, I appreciate your excellent preaching.  Namely, boldness in using strong volume, secondly, your great enthusiasm, thirdly, fine personal testimony, fourthly, your willingness to call out sin, and fifthly, the depth of knowledge you have for someone your age. And a bonus, covering one of my more favorite books, that of Jonah.  Yet there's a problem! Actually several. First, you persist in binding divine literalism. Now whale is a mistranslation, its great fish. And whales aren't fish, they're mammals. No giant fish could ever swallow a man without killing him. And Jonah never went to Ninevah, let alone converting the Assyrians.  The Royal Library of Ashurbanipal was established in the 7th century BC, over 30,000 cuneiform tablets. And we have the Assyrian National Library, biggest...

The Berlin Wall & WW 2

Image
                                                                   In every war, both sides think they are right, and their opponents are wrong. Yet both sides are usually wrong to an extent.  Food for thought.  Now in World War 2, which started in 1939 and ended in 1945, there were two major groups: Allies and the Axis. Though numerous countries were on either side, the three main Allied powers were the Soviet Union, United States, and United Kingdom. The three main Axis powers were Germany, Italy, and Japan, which governments signed the Tripartite Pact in 1940.  However, Japan had different goals. Their head, Emperor Hirohito, wanted to continue conquest of China and Southeast Asia, while Germany and Italy wanted to expand their territory into Europe instead. And while Germany and Italy had similar econ...

You Want to Date my Daughter?

Image
                                        So, you want to date my daughter, eh?  Well, bad news:  I don't have a daughter! But if I did, I would love her wholeheartedly.  I would want the best for her and do whatever I could to make that happen. But first, an example of how NOT to be:  On the Internet I found this so-called feminist father rules for dating my daughter:  1) I don't make the rules; 2) You don't make the rules; 3) She makes the rules; 4) Her body, her rules. Instead, it sounds like an irresponsible gay male friend who is HIV positive giving a young lady advice. That is not being a man, let alone father.  It is a useless bastard attitude.  Another bad attitude is fathers never wanting their daughters to date or marry and instead pursue a career, which is highly unnatural.  Again, I would genuinely want the very best for my daughter. ...

Landlords

Image
                                   You might call them building super, executive director, landlady, landlord, lessor, property manager, or whatever. Regardless, it is those who wholly or partially own an apartment or house that people rent long-term, and/or those who wholly or partially control said property. Though this system usually betters medieval feudalism, it can sometimes be worse! Consider the many types of jobs one could venture into, which provide either important goods or services. But Ls provide neither product nor service. They are simply in an advantageous position to own extra property. In other words, a modified form of the board game Monopoly, where one player defeats the others via bloodsucking rental fees. Since Ls have chosen this path over all other options, I must conclude that almost all of them are bad people. Guilty until proven innocent for your own safety.  Especia...
