Well, I guess that’s three reasons.

Elijah: A Pause on Ahab’s Problem

Your enemy writes you a letter saying ?Hey Man, we?re
brothers. Your house is my house, your wife is my wife and your kids are my
kids? How would you answer? I know how I would answer?and it?s not like Ahab
answered. How stupid do you have to be to get this kind of note and send back a
letter saying ?It?s true, man, we?re one and the same?all that I have is
yours.?

Verses Highlighting

I took off the verse highlighting script because it was conflicting with too many things as a javascript. I need it to function as a php application on the backend…and specifically as a mambo mambot. If anyone knows how to do this it would be much appreciated because it is an incredibly effective ministry tool. God bless you.

Irony

Hyper-Calvinist web site puts John Calvin on their Hall of Shame. (HT: Alpha and Omega). They don’t consider themselves Reformed either so all you Calvinists can let out a sigh of relief. All you Arminians though don’t worry?they don’t even consider you a Christian apparently.

How Can I Get Saved?

You want to know where is God right now? You want to know God personally? You want to be saved? You find yourself in a dead end and you wound up jumping here through a link or a search engine like google or yahoo? Maybe you’re part of the group of people who are believers of religion or church or morals but you just have some questions? I don’t know your story but you’re here. If you have a Bible you can look at the verses I’m putting here or you can click on the links (if they’re there) or copy paste the verses into my Bible Search finder on the sidebar.

Rebecca has fired her pellet gun at my so-called ability duck and will surely knock the Archive back down to TTLB?s Slimy Molusk level. Realize that the words written here may disagree with her stance, but I still see her as a sister and I believe she still will see me as a brother. Therefore, read any commentary with that knowledge and if you are a firm believer of Total Depravity in the Calvinist sense, realize that I am fallen?just like yourself?and we both have been saved by God?s grace (Eph 2:8).

Mind you I don?t agree with lots of the stuff in these
posts. Some of them raise good questions via the verse usage but draw very bad
conclusions, some of them are way long while others deal with the topic only
tangentially. Indeed, some of these may skillfully be used against me (the
audacity!) I link them merely to provoke thought and not as an endorsement. If they prove Rebecca’s point or not, either way I’ll continue my backslide into the TTLB backalley.
