Please disregard warnings about Google Reader

Hello folks I just did a little looking around, Google Friend Connect and Google Reader are only closing down for non blogger.com sites.  They will still work for blogger.  That comes from Google themselves.  So forget about bloglovin and all that.  Have a great day :D

A Few Questions for My Readers

Hello folks, I have a few questions for y'all today.

If a fellow wears a dress why do we call it cross dressing?  I mean, girls wear pants and we don't call that cross dressing.  You say, well he is wearing girls' clothes and that is gross. Is he?  The dress was made for him, not for a girl, so he isn't cross dressing is he?  Then why is it wrong for him to wear it?  If I sewed up a dress for myself and wore it tomorrow, wouldn't you be shocked and disgusted?  Why should you be, I made the dress for myself, so therefore it is not women's clothes.  People often argue that girls can wear pants because the pants they wear are not actually mens pants, well then why can't guys wear dresses as long as they were not actually made for women?

While I am on the subject of pants, the Bible speaks of clothing as a covering, so, why is it okay for you to wear skin tight jeans?  That goes for girls and guys.  If you are wearing skin tight clothes, is that really a covering?  If you do wear skin tight clothes, why do you?  It cannot be comfort, loose is always more comfortable I think.  Search yourself on this, why do you dress the way you do? 

That is all for now folks, please comment.

God Bless,

Flame of Jah

An Anti-Calvinist Rant

Warning: Below is a rant, bring steel toes, you may need them.

Any of you who have been reading my blog for a while know that I am an anti-Calvinist.  I am going to sum up my thoughts on Calvinist salvation below.

God created man in his image, as a sinner, then he doesn't like this sinner he created so he decides that he is going to judge this sinner for sinning, even though this sinner has no choice but to sin, (he was created that way remember,) this sinner is now condemned to an eternity in the flames of hell.  Okay, God made a whole world of sinners just like the first one, they are all condemned to hell for they all have sinned.  Then God chooses to save some of them from the judgment of hell.  These have all sinned just like the rest, they are just chosen now, so they are forgiven for the sins they were created to commit, and now they are special.  As for the rest of these sinners, they are doomed to hell.  They weren't chosen, so they get cooked. 

I know that sounds a bit silly, I meant it that way, but seriously folks, that is Calvinist salvation.  God creates man without a free will, creates him to sin, condemns him to hell for his sin, then chooses to have mercy on some, but burn the rest.  Do you call that just?  First God creates men to sin.  They have no choice.  Then he is going to judge them for the sin he created them to commit?  That is totally unjust any way you look at it.  That totally flies in the face of the definition of just.  God is just, and that is unjust, so that is not true. Next, God decides that he won't judge some of the men, and will have mercy on them, even though they have sinned like the rest.  This doctrine makes God look insane.  If you paint a wall red, you cannot be mad at the wall for being red.  You made it that way.

God is just, God is true, and God is not insane...
He created man a free agent, told that free agent not to sin, that free agent disobeyed, God then judged that free agent for his sin, and also provided an atonement for his sin, the blood of Jesus Christ.  If you believe on Jesus Christ, that God raised him from the dead, and you confess with your mouth that he is Lord, you are saved.  Why does it need to be more complex?  

P.S. For all of my Calvinist friends.
I don't mean any harm to any of you,
just please read and consider.
