    Trump's Taxes

    People often get hot under the collar when they see someone has reduced their tax bill. I'm not aware of anything in the law that says I have to pay more tax than I owe, or that I have to structure my affairs to increase my tax bill. I wonder how many people would decline the chance to cut...

    Limited Atonement folks can't say God Loves You

    Guess I won't need all that popcorn after all now :)

    Limited Atonement folks can't say God Loves You

    Meh, context schmontext. There's a point to be supported come what may, even if it lacks anything that actually supports it. It's becoming increasingly comical reading some of the rabbit trails, distractions and bizarre wordage that apparently passes for logic. I'm going to need to restock the...

    Are you supposed to forgive "some" only?

    That's got nothing to do with it. If God hates these people, and Christ is God, then in order to be like Christ I must also hate them. If the Holy Spirit is God then having the Holy Spirit inside me will make it easier for me to hate them as Christ hates them. If anything wicked people would...

    Are you supposed to forgive "some" only?

    Wait, what? I thought you said God hates these people. Why in the world would I want to love those you're busy telling me God hates? If I have the Holy Spirit inside me I will do what God does, so I'd have to hate them as well. Why would I want to die? You've said many times Jesus didn't die...

    Are you supposed to forgive "some" only?

    But what difference does it make if we use violence against someone we're allowed to hate? If we're being like Christ we need to hate the evildoers. That's most of the nasty people out there. If we are supposed to hate them, as Christ apparently does, surely the best way to show that hate is to...

    Are you supposed to forgive "some" only?

    This kind of argument is just epic. God causes people to do evil things, refuses to give them any choice to not do evil things, then punishes them for all eternity for doing evil things. What a loving god you describe. I'd love to see what hate looks like in your world.

    When guests come over

    Not much, although if we have bank statements or similar waiting to be filed they get filed. Beyond that we don't tend to leave things lying around that are sensitive enough we wouldn't want guests to see them.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Finally started to move forward with the house again. I took a few days off, not so much a planned break as a "lack of motivation" break. It's surprisingly enthusiasm-sapping when I need tools that are in one part of the house moved to the furthest point. At least now I've got another room...

    Would you open the door?

    If I had a safe room it would have video feeds so I could see what was outside, so I'd have more to go on than a random person begging. Aside from that, unless I knew the voice of the person it would rather defeat the point of locking myself in a safe room if I was going to open the door for...

    Prove that from scripture?

    This is the sort of thing that seems to invite endless circular arguments. It's clearly true to say there are truths that are not contained in Scripture. When I needed to find what I did with my sealant gun I found Scripture to be utterly useless in helping me find it. Likewise there's not a...

    New Year's Eve plans

    Going to my favorite brewpub with my wife and a couple of friends. They aren't open late so it will just be the two of us to see in the new year. That said we're often still up at midnight anyway, so it's not like it's anything special. Maybe I'll crack open a special beer to toast the new year.

    Are you supposed to forgive "some" only?

    In this limited atonement world, why would we even want to forgive someone else? If our sins aren't going to be forgiven anyway what difference does it make? I guess you need to totally do away with any concept of free will and turn us all into automatons for it to even remotely work. The idea...

    Limited Atonement folks can't say God Loves You

    Maybe we should reword the song, given what we've learned from this thread so far: Jesus hates the little children Red and yellow, black and white Jesus hates the little children None are precious in his sight

    Christmas Clearance?

    If there's something I want I'll certainly take advantage of sales at any time of year. Usually what's on sale is the stuff nobody else wanted, which often means there's nothing there that's of a whole lot of interest to me. Sometimes there are some good deals to be had. I got an email from the...

    Mental health crisis’

    I think some people believe mental illness is the kind of thing you can just pray away. You know, like everything else they don't want to have to deal with. It's hard work dealing with some mortal issues but there's no need to worry. All I need to do is offer a patronising pat on the head, a...

    Law Rejecting Federal Sovereignty

    Aren't those speed limits in km/h though? When I last visited Canada (a fair few years ago now) I remember tweaking my GPS to measure in metric. 100km/h is only 62mph. Still, it beats the rather silly insistence on 55mph limits across much of the US. It's hard to see how a four-lane expressway...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Stuffing fiberglass made quite a difference to my cold corner but not as much as I first thought. I know there are still brickwork issues that need to be addressed, but they are still almost impossible to get at. To get at one area requires emptying a corner floor-level unit and cutting a hole...
