As I was sitting in the passenger seat today traveling through Colorado, I took the time to read a post on my iPhone and want to share it with my readers (all 2 of them). But firstly, I few notes on this post…

While not ready to draw firm conclusions on McCain’s choice, I believe Pastor Wilson has some great food for thought.

I will also note that I do side with, to *some* extent, what I will term here as “choosing the lesser of two evils” because slowing down the car speeding toward the ravine does give us time to get true Bible believers who are interested in building the Kingdom “behind the wheel” to continue the metaphor. But again, only to some extent. And I tend to agree with Pastor Wilson regarding Roe v Wade being a large determining factor.

And lastly, I do know and understand that we must be working on a local level, but to the extent that we care about National politics… Here you go.

So tonight I was working on getting the sermon posted on the Heritage website, and as I’m working on trimming the heads and tales so that it starts and ends smoothly, Allen happened to be walking by my office with toys in hand. As I’m playing back the audio, our Pastor’s voice comes out of the speakers saying. “And God’s people said...” To which Allen instantly says, “Amen!”

He knows the drill .

So, I ran across this article in my Google Reader Shared items. It’s just way too good not to post here as well. I don’t know a lot about the blog it comes from since I’m not a regular reader… but this is a great post none the less.

I read a great quote from Pastor McAtee on how the Credo-Baptist position essentially views children as salvifically-unviable-fetuses:

Credo-baptists believe that soteric worth is tied up with moral agency. Such moral agency is dependent upon consciousness. For Credo-baptists, soteric rights presuppose interests, and creatures without a fairly advanced state of consciousness do not and can not have soteric interests. Hence, until such a time that a child is considered salvifically “viable” as witnessed by a advanced state of consciousness, the child is, salvifically speaking, not a person, but rather is a soteric fetus awaiting enough consciousness to be considered a candidate for soteriological personhood.

And ironically, the first commenter on Pastor McAtee’s post takes most Paedo-baptists to task with the same logic:

Insert Paedo into this article where it reads Credo and some would think that you had certainly made a mistake and truly meant Credo. However, many who would think you made that mistake apply this very reasoning to God’s Covenant children by rejecting them from Christ’s table “until such a time that a child is considered salvifically “viable” as witnessed by a advanced state of consciousness”.

And if you’d like to be entertained by hearing some Lutherans (Missouri Synod) discuss it, check this thread out. Pastor Weedon brings out a quote from Luther on 1 Corinthians which explains that the “examine himself” command doesn’t apply to children at all. Its quite telling that Pastor McCain jumps in immediately and begins repeating slogans and ad-hominems as if his life depended upon it. He knows exactly the threat that the quote presents to the anti-paedocommunion establishment, even if others don’t yet see it.

I am convinced that we live in a world where logic and reason are quickly being thrown out the window...nay, flushed down the toilet in favor of complete and utter moronism!

What??? don’t believe me? I offer this article as PROOF POSITIVE that morons exist, and what’s more? they are a force to be reckoned with:

And I quote from linked article,

FORGET those plans to have a third child for the country because further increases in the birth rate could harm the economy, the nation’s productivity watchdog has warned.

A major analysis of the nation’s increasing fertility rate said it was at its highest level for 25 years - but the Productivity Commission yesterday warned further increases may aggravate rather than solve the problem of the ageing of the population.

This is because it will shift women out of the workforce while they care for babies, depressing labour supply and reducing the taxation base as our population ages…

Do people really believe this… uhhh… cow poo poo? Come on seriously, what kind of effect does it have on the economy when THERE IS NO POPULATION? Take this into consideration,

The replacement fertility rate is roughly 2.1 births per woman for most industrialized countries but ranges from 2.5 to 3.3 in developing countries because of higher mortality rates.[1] Taken globally, the total fertility rate at replacement is 2.33 children per woman. At this rate, global population growth would trend towards zero.

And if you really and truly believe that the world is over populated try flying over just the United States sometime and look down once in a while. Overpopulation MY HIND FOOT (assuming I had a hind foot).

Also be sure to download AND READ the PDF over the sidebar called,"A New Dark Age.”
