awwww... our little half-man is all grow'd up :)

Cold leftover Mac-N-Cheese

But He has not decreed it to be so, that is why the word is "wish". It's not the same meaning as our mundane definition, it has a theologic definition as well. What you are describing is a classical Arminian view of the Decree of God (from Pelagian i.e. Man can save himself, Semi-Pelagian...

I find a paper Bible can be just as much distraction as a tablet ;) I start leafing through and see something and start reading. Whenever I bring a message I have the verses I want to highlight on overheads (either transparencies or slideshow) and use them so I can limit the distractions. That...

What you are talking about is closely akin (if not entirely the same as) double predestination. This is a tad lengthy to cut and paste so I (unlike others at times) will simply link to the article and allow the author to fully express himself on the topic of Double Predestination...

I can choose to believe in Leprechans the same way I choose to believe the chair I am sitting in will support me; it's a decision. In the case with the chair, past experience with this chair leads me to a fairly strong belief that it will support me the way it has in the past. But what about...

Waiting for the second shoe to drop... (and remember, all shoes have tongues...)

Then Christ was either a liar or lunatic since He taught the actual historicity of the Genesis account.
