...Regarding salvation, this doctrine of predestination argues that God predetermined the eternal destiny of those He wants to be saved by grace and has conversely destined the rest of humanity to eternal condemnation for their sins, and also for the inherited Adamic sin. Clearly, this doctrine of predestination transcends Christianity and is more or less a key doctrine of faith in virtually all of the world’s religions. Its history goes back to immemorial times – centuries and millennia before John Calvin even though the theology seems now to be most closely associated with Calvin and Calvinists. Elements of the Calvinist theology could be gleaned from the Old Testament bible tradition such as when Job in the midst of his afflictions declared to his cynical wife who was urging him to curse God and die: “shall one receive good from God and not evil.” As far as Job was concerned, all the evil afflictions, disasters and nightmares happening to him were directly predestined and unleashed by God. We certainly have better insights into supernatural realities today than the generation of...

...Chapter 7 Walking In Wisdom • Chapter 8 Hospitality • Chapter 9 Family Finances Part II: Hinderances To A Happy Home • Chapter 10 The Works Of The Flesh • Chapter 11 The Tongue • Chapter 12 Covetousness • Chapter 13 Unforgiveness • Chapter 14 An Answer To Seperation Introduction Right from creation, God demonstrated His interest in and value placed on the marriage institution and the family, by being practically involved in its institution. He did not simply speak it into being as He did the beast of the field and the fowls of the air. He carefully put it together step by step. God put man to sleep and from his side took a rib and formed the woman. Not stopping there, God took the woman by the hand and led her to Adam. Therefore marriage is a unique relationship, having its root in divinity (Gen. 2:22). However, marriage and family life, a thing of joy, pleasure, and high esteem at creation is now treated by many as a necessary evil and looked at by some disdainfully. "Those in it want to rush out and those outside want to rush in," they say. This has resulted in the fast disintegration of the marriage unit and subsequently the family. Statistics indicate that the decline of marriage and the family unit has been greater and more alarming in the past twenty-five years than during any other quarter century in history! These are pressure- filled times for the world and for the family unit in particular, all of which of course are in line with Biblical prophecies...

...FREAKONOMICS A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything Revised and Expanded Edition Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner CONTENTS AN EXPLANATORY NOTE In which the origins of this book are clarified. vii PREFACE TO THE REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION xi 1 INTRODUCTION: The Hidden Side of Everything In which the book’s central idea is set forth: namely, if morality represents how people would like the world to work, then economics shows how it actually does work. Why the conventional wisdom is so often wrong . . . How “experts”— from criminologists to real-estate agents to political scientists—bend the facts . . . Why knowing what to measure, and how to measure it, is the key to understanding modern life . . . What is “freakonomics,” anyway? 1. What Do Schoolteachers and Sumo Wrestlers Have in Common? 15 In which we explore the beauty of incentives, as well as their dark side—cheating. Contents Who cheats? Just about everyone . . . How cheaters cheat, and how to catch them . . . Stories from an Israeli day-care center . . . The sudden disappearance of seven million American children . . . Cheating schoolteachers in Chicago . . . Why cheating to lose is worse than cheating to win . . . Could sumo wrestling, the national sport of Japan, be corrupt? . . . What the Bagel Man saw: mankind may be more honest than we think. 2. How Is the Ku Klux Klan Like a Group of Real-Estate Agents? 49 In which it is argued that nothing is more powerful than information,...
