NEW YORK - So much for the curse. The New York Yankees have ended a construction worker's attempt to jinx their new stadium with a buried Boston Red Socks jersey.

Team officials watched Sunday as construction workers removed the jersey, with slugger David Ortiz's name on it, from 2 feet of concrete in a service corridor of the stadium that's under construction.

The team says a construction ...

We can put a man on the moon. We can cross the country in a couple of hours by plane. We can communicate with each other around the world in an instant, but we can't get an order right at a fast food drive up window. The other day I went to a McDonald's and ordered two double cheese burgers and a small coke from the dollar menu and they could not get that right. They tried to keep one of the double cheese burgers. It would seem that they mess up the order almost 50% of the time. Always check you ...

Asking me if I believe such and such from Ephesians or from another book from the Bible, does not defeat the argument of the book of James of being a gospel of works. I am not a Paul only person either. Paul and James are not the only writers of the New Testament. I do not deny any other books in the Bible, speaking for my self. I do believe that out of all the New Testament writers, Paul is the most knowledgeable of God and he has more of his writings in the New Testament than anyone else. Paul ...

It was November of 2003. I was at work and having a theological discussion with a co-worker. This was going on for a few minutes when another co-worker, just started working the 7-3 shift from the 11-7 shift, came over and sat down next to us and was listening to what we were discussing. After a minute or two, I turned to the new guy and asked "What do you think?" He said, "I'm a Calvinist and this is what I believe......" I don't remember anything he said after "This is ...

I believe that Arminianism is a false gospel. The high supreme sovereign grace Gospel is the true Gospel. Arminianism is man's gospel and high sovereign grace is the Lord's Gospel. The Arminian gospel lowers God down closer to man and raises man up to God where they meet in the middle. In this, man becomes co-redeemer with God. For God can save no one until the sinner allows God to save him. This is done by the decision of the sinner, which he has the power to do and he has the power to reject God, ...

This will probably be the last blog entry on the Epistle of James, at least for awhile. I want to start of by saying, if you believe that the epistle of James should be part of the canon, I am ok with that.

The rest of this blog entry is for those that have called me and others heretics for denouncing the epistle of James for being an epistle of a works gospel. When you get right down to it, everyone decides what is canon and what is not. I believe that it should not be part of the ...

This is my third blog entry and it always will be. You may ask, "How is this important to me?" Well, I'm sure that it is not, but that's ... OK. All I have to do is look in the mirror and say "I'm smart enough to blog, I'm good enough to blog and gosh darn it, people like me!"

Everyone on this Network is different. People have different interests and opinions and here in the Calvinator Blog Zone it will be no different. I look forward to opining about things that ...

Paul vs James

There is only one gospel, not two, but one. Did Paul and James preach the same gospel? Let's compare.

Jas 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

According to Paul the answer would be yes.
Rom 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Jas 2:16 And one of you say ...

As most of you all probably know, Charlton Heston died over the weekend at age 84. He made several hit movies, but I will remember him best in Planet of the Apes and his well known quote, holding hid rifle over his head, saying "from my cold dead hands."
