free will vs. predestination

Our heavenly father, the almighty. he created the heavens and the earth and its inhabitants. He made us to have a choice to follow or not. Or did he? Will it even help in the long run? A look into Romans 9 show that we are not the fist to ponder this. "6It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 7Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. On the contrary, 'It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.' 8In other words, it is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring. '' This verse, along with many others tells us to fear God. But looking deeper into the chapter you find something less repetitive. "11Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God's purpose in election might stand: 12not by works but by him who calls—she was told, "The older will serve the younger."[a] 13Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."[b]
14What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!" Before either child was born, had don evil or good, God loved one and hated the other. Still moses thinks God just and God goes on to tell him that he will have mercy on those I have mercy and show love to those I love. If it is already decided, what can we do. God does what he wants. love one person and hardens the heats of other, such as pharaoh with Moses. then some will ask, why does God still blame us? who can oppose him? moses tells us we are merely man, what right have we to talk back to God? he goes on to make reference to a potter saying, "21Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? '' has he chosen who he must destroy and who to show mercy? Does it even matter what we do? Only one knows for sure.

mad scientists are real!!!!!

At this very moment, well not really actually I read an article about this, scientists are debating ways to take a disease from a unborn baby. They know that by cloning, yes they are capable of doing this, embryo in the first couple days of its life they can keep the disease in the original and the clone would be disease free. But to do so they must kill the original. they can not do this because it is of course very unethical. then again some might not think so, like those who support abortion.
The Question is, would you rather kill the diseased child for a healthy child or keep the disease child. Some might find it easy to answer, but think about it some more and you'll realize it really requires a great deal of thought.
The answer to that question is yet another question. When does life begin? If life begins in the womb of the mother then it murder to kill the embryo. If life starts when you are born then, perhaps some people have a right to want to do this. What is my opinion you ask? To me life starts when you are loved. If your parents love you diseased or not then that is the real question... Only you can answer.

to the average unapreciated bookworm

hi, my name is ---- and I'm a book worm just like you. If your reading this and wondering what I'm getting at, then here it is... if you are now stumped on what book to read next I have a few suggestions.

• Maximum Ride- about 6 incredible kids who were experimented on as babies and given bird DNA. 2% bird, 98% human... but that 2% makes all the difference. find out more athttp://maximumride.com/
• Little Secrets- this drama filled book is about a really rich families with two sides, and a town caught in the middle. When Alison's mom, the 2nd richest women in town, is arrested her mom is sure it is the work of her mother grandma Diamond, the richest women in town. If that were not enough Kelly, Alison's best friend is out to make her life miserable. this book is fabulous, but is difficult to find. I suggest trying Amazon.com.
• Uglies-in a world of extreme beauty, anyone normal is ugly.this takes place in the future, where when you turn 16 you get an operation that makes everyone look the same, go gorgeous. What could be wrong with that...
• Penelope- A bout a girl who is coursed with a pig nose. this book is great it proves beauty is only skin deep and you can't judge a book by its cover. plus, if you have low self esteem, this should help. LOL!!
