Romans 2:14 (Physics, Baseball, and Faith)

Rather interesting, I had never thought of baseball from this perspective.

Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. (Romans 2:14)

Read: 1 Chronicles 16:37 – 18:17, Romans 2:1-14, Psalm 10:16-18, Proverbs 19:8-9

Relate: I was listening to a sermon last night where the preacher was using an illustration of how a physicist from Yale University wrote an article in USA Today (I believe) demonstrating why hitting a 90 MPH fastball is a physical impossibility. According to the preacher this article stated that it takes about a seventh of a second (.15) for stimulus response. That is also the length of time it takes for a bat to be swung into position once motion has started. It also takes an absolute bare minimum of…

Regarding John Wesley

There is no soul living who holds more firmly to the doctrines of grace than I do, and if any man asks me whether I am ashamed to be called a Calvinist, I answer—I wish to be called nothing but a Christian; but if you ask me, do I hold the doctrinal views which were held by John Calvin, I reply, I do in the main hold them, and rejoice to avow it. But far be it from me even to imagine that Zion contains none but Calvinistic Christians within her walls, or that there are none saved who do not hold our views.  Most atrocious things have been spoken about the character and spiritual condition of John Wesley, the modern prince of Arminians.  I can only say concerning him that, while I detest many of the doctrines which he preached, yet for the man himself I have a reverence second to no Wesleyan; and if there were wanted two apostles to be added to the number of the twelve, I do not believe that there could be found two men more fit to be so added than George Whitefield and John Wesley. The character of John Wesley stands beyond all imputation for self-sacrifice, zeal, holiness, and communion with God; he lived far above the ordinary level of common Christians, and was one ‘of whom the world was not worthy.’ I believe there are multitudes of men who cannot see these truths, or, at least, cannot see them in the way in which we put them, who nevertheless have received Christ as their Saviour, and are as dear to the heart of the God of grace as the soundest Calvinist in or out of Heaven. — Charles H Spurgeon

“There is a point of grace as much above the ordinary Christian as the ordinary Christian is above the world.”  Of such he says: “They are rejoicing Christians, holy and devout men doing service for the Master all over the world, and everywhere conquerors through Him that loved them.”  The experience to which Mr. Spurgeon refers has often been described as the higher life, entire sanctification, Christian perfection, perfect love, the rest of faith, and by numerous other names or terms.  Various modes of expression have been selected by various Christians which have best coincided with their cultural and theological views.  There may be shades of difference in their import, but, generally speaking, the terms mean one and the same thing.  We do not contend for names.  It is immaterial which expressions are employed; the main point is, do we possess the experience designated by these terms, and which is recognized and professed by Christians representing all our churches?

The Islamic Insider? A Former Muslim Speaks Out

So many times I have heard that the Muslim faith is kind and misunderstood. The more I learn about Islam the more I realize I have misunderstood this deceptive faith. I used to think that Muslims who practiced the faith we’re loving and not a threat. Thank God for the former Muslims who are walking away from this evil cult. Thanks to them we are now beginning to learn just how much Islam has been misunderstood. This is a warning from a former Muslim who can help us understand. We can just call him the Islamic insider. I pray more find the courage to come forward. We all need to have a better understanding of this evil cult. God bless each and everyone of you, Shep

To the Infidel world:

I was born and raised as Muslim. My whole family is still Muslim. I know every genetic code of Muslim. I know Islamic brain. I live and breath with them. I am an insider. I left Islam when I understood that Islam is a sick and evil religion. Following are the Islamic message to the West.

Constitution for the new Islamic Republic of EU and USA is under construction.

We will fight the infidel to death.

Meanwhile American laws will protect us.

Democrats and Leftists will support us.

UN will legitimize us.

CAIR will incubate us.

ACLU will empower us.

Western Universities will educate us.

Mosques will shelter us

OPEC will finance us

Hollywood will love us.

UN will pass politically correct sympathetic statement for Jihadists.

Our children will immigrate from Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Indonesia and even from India to the US and to the other Western countries. They will go to the West for education in full scholarship. America is paying and will continue to pay for our children’s educations and their upbringing in state funded Islamic schools.

We will use your welfare system. Our children will also send money home while they are preparing for Jihad.

We will take the advantage of American kindness, gullibility, and compassion. When time comes, we will stab them in the back. We will say one thing on the camera and teach another thing to our children at home. We will give subliminal messages to our children to uphold Islam at any cost. Our children in America will always care more about Islamic Country’s interest than US interest.

We will teach our children Islamic supremacy from the very childhood. We will teach them not to compromise with Infidel. Once we do that from the very early age our children won’t hesitate to be martyr. We will take over the Europe first and then US will be the next. We already have a solid ground in the UK, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Germany, and now in the US.

Our children will marry Caucasian in Europe and in America.  We will mixed with intricate fabric of the Western society but still will remember to Jihad when time comes.  Who are we?

We are the “sleeper cells”.

We will raise our children to be loyal to Islam and Mohammad only. Everything else is secondary.

We will use American’s kindness, fairness, compassion, freedom of speech and non-discriminatory policy against them. We will stab them in the back.
