"Getting Saved"

The phrase "I got saved" annoys me to no end and just about as much as people who talk about "accepting Christ".

That would be fine and dandy, but you can’t accept Christ, nor can you actively participate in your own salvation. If you could solely play a part in your conversion experience it would be a work. You can’t even believe in Christ on your own. That’s all the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit works through the presentation of the gospel in our hearts. The Holy Spirit imparts faith. The Holy Spirit gives us the power to believe. Salvation is grace through faith by the power of the Triune God.

Homosexuality in nature

I was in a discussion about homosexuality being a sin in the Christian Forums. A humanist came in and was trying to justify it being normal through animals in nature. Apparently animals have had homosexual tendencies. While that may be true and all, it amazes me that people try to justify human behavior based on animal behavior. Humans were created in the image of God, animals were not. Animals live based on instinct, and humans do not.

Even if you wanted to apply science to this animal behavior it fails to be "normal". It makes absolute perfect sense that a species would WANT to annihilate itself, doesn't it? If it isn't asexual, it depends on the other gender to procreate and "survival of the fittest" would not apply because they do not want to survive.

I would assume the general consensus in science is that humans and animals seek to find better ways of surviving. Limiting the gene pool and reducing the population does not make sense. If we left this "natural" subject up to science, it would seem that through natural selection, humans don't want to exist (at least the ones that support and promote homosexuality).

It's comparing apple and oranges, but if you really want to compare, consider that it scientifically makes no sense for a species to want to annihilate itself by not reproducing (perfectly in line with God's command to "be fruitful and multiply").

A two-headed turtle can certainly exist in nature. That doesn't mean it is normal.

People on 35

So I don't know who in their right mind decided to have both sides of 35 at the 675 interchange go down to one lane simultaneously. I would assume they weren't in their right mind when they made that decision. That by itself doesn't annoy me though. What annoys me are the idiots who decide to drive up on the other lane all the way until they get to the end of the lane to merge over. There are signs posted warning of the lane closure way before (at least a mile before). Not only that but the reason why traffic is slowed down is to let these goofballs in. If that weren't bad enough, then you get people like the woman behind me the other day who honked every time I let someone in (including those merging from the on-ramp). Then of course you have the people who start merging and then people behind them who can't wait two second and try to go around them, or the people who leave the lane to get in the on-ramp lane so they can make it look like they are trying to get on the highway so people won't get mad.

UGH.

Autotrader Scam

The most annoying this on the planet is scammers that suck the life out of people by thinking they are getting a good deal.

I caught this before it got any further.

Hi there,

The truck is still for sale. Thanks for being interested in buying my 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. It is in a good condition, no scratches, no damages, never been implicated in any accidents, no problems at the engine, runs very well. It has an 5.3L V8 engine , 145,000 miles, clear title, a perfect truck. The price is not negotiable , $4,000.00 firm. The only thing because I am selling it, because I divorced with my husband and after the divorce I own this truck, now as a woman I don't need it...(I don't have driver's license)

I am looking for a quick sale so if you have have the funds available lets make this happen ASAP!


Thank you very much for your interest,

Hi again,

Here is the VIN#: 2GCEK19T8X1157874. The car is located and registered here with me in Orlando,Fl, we will use eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection, so we can both be protected and insured. I just need your full name and full address along with phone number so eBay can send you the invoice in which you'll see how to make this transaction. I supposed to ship the car to another buyer, then he told me that he found another vehicle so is no longer interested. He already paid the shipping charges, the shipping is paid. I will send the car with all the papers ( vehicle registration, bill of sale, title, owner's manual ,2 sets of keys, transfer papers etc )
I have advertised the vehicle in different locations just to increase my chance to sell it faster because I need the money to pay something asap.
If you are interested in a quick sale I am just waiting your full name and address also your phone number so eBay can call you and complete the shipping papers and start the delivery process.
eBay will assist you with this purchase as soon you will receive the invoice and they can answer you any questions you might have.


Thank you very much for your interest,
Kerry Cole

Staff Writers at DDN Will Kill Me

I am so sick of the writers for DDN (specifically online). Take a look at this:

Ohio National Guard units sometimes process through the Army base in Texas to prepare soldiers for mobilization or demobilization, but none are currently stationed there.

There are 16 Ohio National Guard soldiers stationed at Fort Hood

Isn't that completely contradictory?
