She probably spends $117,000 on clothes alone every year! When she starts telling me how much a stay-at-home mom is worth, I tell her she's lucky she gets to sleep indoors and eat at the table with the rest of us. BTW-We've been married for 29 years this coming Monday. 5/9/08 11:27 AM San Jose John  | San Jose, CA    • Posted 1 hour ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: Happy Mother's Day: Woman Pregnant With 18th Child 1 comment Sounds like a lot of kids (and it is), but they need to have at least 5 more (if I remember correctly) to tie or beat the number held by the parents of Charles, John, and Susanna Wesley. 5/9/08 11:20 AM San Jose John  | San Jose, CA    • Posted 1 hour ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: Study: Stay-at-Home Mom Worth Nearly $117,000 a Year 2 comments I was surprised to see this article from secular sources-- until I realized it was Fox News. Most secular news shows I've seen try to defend working women by (somehow) making it sound like they have fewer health and medical issues than their stay-at-home counterparts (i.e. "studies show..."). "One stay-at-home mom said the six-figure salary sounds a little low." I think so too, especially for those mom's caring for large numbers of kids AND their now-older parents that live with them, but I'd have to compare this with the going hourly rate of modern nannys in order to be sure. 5/9/08 11:02 AM The Lone Wolf  | Crying in the Wilderness    • Posted 1 hour ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: Who are members of the Covenants? 94 comments There you go rogerant. Those are the questions I was looking for. Just as a sidenote from yesterday concerning the number "thousand" being in the plural in the Greek, the only number in the Greek that is singular is the number "one" εν. Jesus had twelve apostles. δωδεκα is plural, but he didn't have twelves of apostles, he had only twelve. Jesus saw "two brethren" δυο is in the plural. He didn't see twos of brethren, he saw only two brethren. So to claim that "the thousand years" is to be interpreted as "the thousands of years" is based on presupposition, not necessarily fact. 5/9/08 10:59 AM DJC49  | Florida    • Posted 2 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: Who are members of the Covenants? 94 comments Mike wrote: *Make* someone willing. Isn't that what torturers try to do? Mike ... did you ever hear the song: "You Made Me Love You"? It's an oldie but moldy goldie sung by Judy Garland. Lyrics: You made me love you I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to do it You made me love you and all the time you knew it I GUESS YOU ALWAYS KNEW IT. You made me happy sometimes, you made me glad But there were times, Dear, you made me feel so bad You made me sigh for, I didn't want to tell you I didn't want to tell you I want some love that's true, yes I do, deed I do, you know I do Give me, give me, give me what I cry for you know you got the brand of kisses that I'd die for You know you made me love you _____ Sort of like the way God "makes" the sinner willing. Sort of. So if God's methods, through grace, are torture, then BRING ON THE GODLY INQUISITION of GRACE! 5/9/08 10:48 AM rogerant  | Saskatoon Canada    • Posted 2 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: Who are members of the Covenants? 94 comments Casob wrote: When I quote Rom 11:26 that says ALL Israel will be saved, I sure do not mean that God is going back in history and save dead Jews. What I and the Scriptures do mean is that All Israel as opposed to a remnant of Jews only will be saved when Jesus Christ comes out of Zion to deliver them and then only after at least two thirds of their population has been destroyed by the tribulation fire and Israel is purified by that very fire. You quote all Israel will be saved. How will God save all of Israel? Is He going to work on their heart and cause them to believe? Is He going to make them willing? What about "free will"? How is God going to save all of them while respecting their "free will". Are they going to be saved apart from believing in Christ? Why are they all going to respond to be saved, when they don't now???? 5/9/08 10:33 AM Minnow    • Posted 2 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: Wallace, Ehrman debate N.T. reliability 1 comment "Ehrman agreed that copies abound but said the evidence for a reliable text is less convincing." Unless the Lord by grace, provides you with the ability to perceive the Truth, you will never see it. God has preserved His Word down through the ages and continues to do so today. Otherwise man would screw that up too! 5/9/08 10:31 AM Mike  | New York    • Posted 2 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: Who are members of the Covenants? 94 comments *Make* someone willing.

God has given them ears to hear, eyes to see and hearts to understand. __ That is silly! In the parable they are all sheep. It is just that some are his sheep and they are the sheep that hear his voice. If that were not so, the parable would not make sense. They are his sheep because they came to him and believed in him and chose him as their shepherd. On the other forum you are teaching us that in the end all Israel will be saved. How will God save all of Israel? Is He going to work on their heart and cause them to believe? What about "free will"? How is God going to save all of them while respecting their "free will". Are they going to be saved apart from believing in Christ? How are these sheep (Israel) going to hear God apart from effective grace.

My advice, examine yourself! And YOU, JD, should examine what GOD, through Peter, has to say concerning the Prophet Jesus Christ. It is quite clear in Acts 3:24-26 that Moses was NOT referring to some pre-Millennial time. Moses was NOT referring to the 2 witnesses of Rev 11 (Jesus supposedly talking through these LITERAL 2 witnesses). Peter declares that: Act 3:24 "Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have LIKEWISE foretold of THESE DAYS." You always scream "context, context, context," JD, but then have the audacity to totally ignore the CLEAR words *THESE DAYS* and have Acts 3:22,23 apply to some time in the future! A time 2000 years removed from when they ACTUALLY applied -- as determined by Scripture -- so that it fits neatly into YOUR cut & paste Dispensational system of nonsense. Go preach to someone else about how much more understanding you have above all your teachers. I don't buy your holier-than-thou folderol for one second as it's quite laughable. 5/9/08 10:08 AM The Lone Wolf  | Crying in the Wilderness    • Posted 2 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: Who are members of the Covenants? 94 comments rogerant, Also you asked Casob some very interesting questions something to the effect about how will they be saved, their own free-will or will God make them willing. Will God exercize "effectual calling" to insure their salvation. 5/9/08 10:07 AM Casob    • Posted 2 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: Who are members of the Covenants? 94 comments I am sorry to hear that, MurrayA. Rogerent, I did not read your comment so don't worry about it. We are all passionate about our beliefs once in a while. I am traveling today but will answer you questions later. Here is a false view of interprtation, I think! Ac 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. DJC would accept this as literal and believe that Christ fulfilled it. Ac 3:23 And it shall come to pass, [that] every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. But he does not take this passage literally and assumes that because it was not fulfilled at the same time that God did not really mean what he said. The unbelievers not only were not destroyed but some of them actually became the opposers of the gospel message. Now, since it WAS NOT fulfilled literally, it CANNOT be fulfilled literally! But, will God ever keep this word? Did he mean what he said? The Jews suffered from the same type of interpretive failure when Jesus came and thus rejected the word of God concerning the Christ of God! 5/9/08 9:47 AM rogerant  | Saskatoon Canada    • Posted 3 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: Who are members of the Covenants? 94 comments Casob wrote: When I quote Rom 11:26 that says ALL Israel will be saved, I sure do not mean that God is going back in history and save dead Jews.

I am willing to field questions on these statements. Question One: All Israel will be saved. And then you say after at least two thirds will be destroyed. How can all Israel be saved and then two thirds destroyed? Question Two: The one you refuse to answer. How can you limit the "everlasting" aspect of the covenant to the Jews only living in the land for 1000 literal years. 1000 years is not everlasting. Question Three: God showed Abraham the land. This land was on this present earth, Abraham could not see a new earth, nor was he looking for a new earth. He was looking forward to the "New Jerusalem" a spritual city built by the hand of God, not by man. Hebrews 11. Sorry about the comment removed. It was rude, off topic and uncalled for. 5/9/08 9:35 AM MurrayA  | Australia    • Posted 3 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: Who are members of the Covenants? 94 comments Casob wrote: MurrayA, You might be interested to know that our church just took on another missionary to Australia and I think he will be serving in your general area. Maybe in the providence of God you will meet him somtimes. We are investing in you because we want to help your people. If he's coming to the Calvary Baptist Church in North Bayswater, never mind. I went there with my wife earlier this year. The worship pattern was fine, but as soon as I found out that it was an American plant, was KJVO, Arminian and Dispensational I wasn't interested. There are other American plant churches in the Melbourne area, but I much prefer our home-grown variety. IFB churches are something we don't need. We have enough aberrations already. Thank you for the timely warning. 5/9/08 9:27 AM Scott McMahan  | Internet    • Posted 3 hours ago • Add new comment Sermon: Why We Buy Stuff Noel Due 1 comment “ Interesting+unique presentation ” I learned a lot from this because I am not someone who pays much attention to consumerism. Fascinating look at what's behind the drive to buy and consume. Makes you examine yourself. Also ties into the gospel, and the longing inside us that can't be satisfied by anything less than Jesus Christ. 5/9/08 9:27 AM Casob    • Posted 3 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: Who are members of the Covenants? 94 comments Ps 119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my meditation. Ps 119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. See, DJC49, you are exposing yourself. You do not know how to think like God and I am not holding that against you. You are the man who has been taught to bracket the term "everlasting" into a time period and you have fallen for it. You have added words to the Scriptures that are not there and taken away words that are there and redefined words that do not agree with your perferred theology. Why should I listen to any man who does that? Lets just be honest with one another. You and I are worlds apart on the fundamentals of the Christian faith and if the foundation is wrong (which in your case it is) how sturdy will the building be? DJC49. this is as plain as I can say it; You are deceived! My advice, examine yourself! 5/9/08 9:14 AM DJC49  | Florida    • Posted 3 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: Who are members of the Covenants? 94 comments The following quote below (among many other things) I find quite amazing. It borders on theological insanity. Watch this ... it's really stupefying: Casob/JD wrote: Third post: This will be the time of the fulfillment of these words: 22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. 23 And it shall come to pass, that EVERY SOUL, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. THIS WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE FUTURE and by the time Jesus Christ comes back, most of those of Israel that would not hear him will have been destroyed and when Jesus sets up his kingdom in fulfillment of the Davidic covenant, ALL Israel literally will be saved and will never be lost again. Casob/JD takes the words of Moses in Acts 3:22,23 concerning Jesus Christ and has them apply to Jesus (?) prior to His "Millennial" reign and NOT to His appearance of some 2000 years ago! Oh the wonders of "cut and paste" Dispensationalism! "Rightly" [ahem] dividing up -slicing and dicing- the word of truth. Casob/JD .. this is truly UNBELIEVABLE! GO READ Acts 3:24!!! Note: "THESE DAYS" & not FUTURE! 5/9/08 9:14 AM Casob    • Posted 3 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: Who are members of the Covenants? 94 comments MurrayA, You might be interested to know that our church just took on another missionary to Australia and I think he will be serving in your general area.

Effectual Calling "All those whom God hath predestinated unto life, and those only, he is pleased, in his appointed and accepted time, effectually to call, by his Word and Spirit, out of that state of sin and death, in which they are by nature, to grace and salvation by Jesus Christ; enlightening their minds, spiritually and savingly, to understand the things of God" "Others, not elected, although they may be called by the ministry of the Word, and may have some common operations of the Spirit, yet they never truly come unto Christ, and therefore cannot be saved" (WCF chap 10) 5/9/08 8:40 AM Anne Bardsley  | Victoria, Australia    • Posted 4 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: SermonAudio Tip: SermonAudio Transcription &... 2 comments Just listened to the message regarding false guilt and guilt and want to let you know it was such a blessing. I lived 40 years not able to live up to my husbands expectations and realise I have false guilt. Recognising it for what it is will help me overcome the problems associated with it. Praise the Lord and thankyou for this very important message. Bless you.
