"Chris, I had never heard of or even imagined such a concept. Thanks for posting this~ Here is the link if anyone wants to watch it. Oh, I am strongly against suicide or assisted suicide.

Hi Frank, me neither. I was listening to a Christian radio station yesterday morning, and this pod came up as a topic. I looked it up right away to read about it, and I was as surprised as you were. Imagine for a moment if the "Sarco" became readily available, and little Sarco, brick and mortars were set up where the downcast and brokenhearted could walk in, and never walk back out, and with a line of hurses, permanently parked at the back door for pick up, and transportation to the nearest funeral home. Should suicide become that easy, painless, and available, just imagine how many people would start taking their lives, because they're having a sad day, a difficult year, or suffered a recent break-up, etc., etc.

I suppose I went a little overboard on its future availability, but in todays climate of "My body, my choice", how long before anyone and everyone is given the legal right to just off themselves for any reason? Jack Kivorkian would be proud...

A man named, Philip Nitschke, recently created a 3D printable death pod, naming it, Sarco, because his pod of death doubles as a coffin (sarcophagus). The pod is for anyone who wants to commit suicide. A person wanting to end it all would lay down inside, close the cover, and push a button on the interior that will fill the pod with liquid nitrogen, killing them. Before the pods hatch will open, the pods artificial intelligence must approve their suicide by requiring they first take a mental capacity test-ridiculous.

Assisted suicide is on the rise, and gaining in popularity and approval around the world, even being made available to people for depression, like the recent case of a Dutch teen who just couldn't cope with life any longer. Tragic all around, as this world waxes worse and worse.

I wouldn't mind hearing the above answered.

I'm assuming you've already opened it, so no spoiler here..Surprise! I hope you enjoy, and treasure the 8x10 glossy of me. Hopefully you have a nice mantle to display it on, or I was thinking your breakfast table might be a good spot.

Christopher, how are you getting on with all this? Or are you getting more confused? No need to answer bro, only if you wish to do so.

I've been in the shadows, following along, and soaking it all in, John. The differing perspectives by all, and how they're arrived at, is interesting, and good for learning.

Yes, and thank you. I thought the article was interesting, but someone emailed me right after warning that the editor is a sodomite, etc., so duly noted.

I thought this article was very interesting, and thought provoking, as it relates to limited atonement, unconditional election, and an expanded look into the narrow path leading to Heaven.

In April, a Chicago woman and her 24yr old daughter, lured a pregnant teen to their home to look at some baby cloths. While showing the teen a photo album of the mom's dead brother, the daughter strangled the pregnant teen to death. Then, they grabbed the butcher knife they brought with them, and cut the infant boy out of the mother, dragged the dead teen out back, and tossed her body into a trash can. I've heard this same heinous story a few times now, and each pregnant mother was lured with the promise of baby clothes, only to be hacked up, and their child stolen away. Monsters are real. Anyway, the reason I'm relating it is because the baby passed away from the trauma, and the State of IL is charging the women with the baby's murder as well now.

How does this jive with the current liberal, babys have no rights, mantra, or the fact that IL just passed the most criminal and wicked abortion bill yet? I'm glad the women are being charged, but what is this, only mothers and medical staff can commit murder, but when anyone else does, the baby is suddenly a human being that has rights, and it becomes an heinous act of savagery?

Yes, Dr Tim, I'm so glad people are finally starting to say, enough is enough. The catalyst was New York's, Cuomo, promoting, signing, and celebrating the most heinous changes to the reproductive rights bill, and the likes of New Mexico, and other States, trying to follow suit shortly after. The people are finally rising up to fight, and having more conservative judges is making an impact as well. Illinois just adopted an obscene, and criminal abortion bill as well, but the fight in this nation is finally on...

They are an angry, aggressive bunch. Accept, and condone their dirty deeds, and lifestyles of choice, or look out. Diversity and tolerance? Only where they, and the things they do are concerned.

Yes John, and that's where I've always been at. We do, do...we do take action, but not by our own efforts; not by our own might, because we can't open our own eyes to see Him, and to believe. The Spirit must quicken us, The Spirit must open our eyes, soften our hearts, and give us the ability to respond, to act, to repent, to believe, and to receive. Our responses and actions are only possible, because He drew us to Him, giving us the ability to see.

Thanks John...I'll make what I was saying just a little more clear when I have time later on. I understand the two positions, in that respect, are seperate and distinctly different, so there's no wiggle room, and no lines to unblur, because they just don't jive with each other. I was talking more about actions on our part, when one side says we do nothing, while the other says, yes, we do. I'll lay that out a bit better later on.

I feel like being all Calvin, all Arminius, all Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, or all whatever, without any sort of wiggle room can sometimes blind us to things we should be seeing, scripturally.

I suppose that comment will be heresy to some, or mis-understood by others, but hey, just thinking out loud.

...Do they just wake up one day, and say, "Hey, what in the world...I feel saved!", or do they wake up knowing they're saved, because the day prior, the scales fell from their eyes, and they were given the ability to believe, receive, surrender, commit...to take action; to do something, but not by their own effort?

We don't have any ability to do anything by our own efforts (Calvin)  By His unmerited grace, He gives us the ability to do; to believe and receive (Arminius-ish) 

This is what I meant by elements of truth in both camps,  and where the lines blur for me.  Am I way off base, or do both hold elements of truth? Seems to me that nothing can ever be resolved, unless the hard stands are softened, and the elements of scriptural truth from each, unblurred.

Again, just thoughts, and not trying to promote, but grasp.

Thanks Mike and James for your comments.

I'm sticking to my decision right now for certain reasons, but wanted to address an email I got last night. I was asked about, well, taken to task, really, in a friendly, concerned way, about my comment concerning Calvin and Arminius both being right. I don't think they're both right, per se, but feel like there are elements of truth where the lines blur a bit for me.

Let me give an example of what I mean when I say maybe there's an element of truth on both sides.  

We are fully depraved, fallen, blind sinners who are deserving of nothing but destruction, and incapable of seeing or receiving Him by our own effort (Calvin)

Being of the elect, He draws us into Himself, opening our blind eyes; giving us the capability to believe and receive...to do something, although not by our own effort, but nevertheless, actions on our own part. (Arminius-ish) 

Otherwise, if I'm wrong, and this is untrue, heresy, or just someone who doesn't understand and talking nonsense, how is it that everyone can attach a date to their new birthday?  How can anyone possibly know they're saved if they don't know when, or how it happened...if they did nothing?

"So, are you saying that because theologians and "seasoned" Christians think differently about this then no one can say what the absolute truth is?
So, I suppose I have no right to be adamant about my position that Christ in fact died for everyone, past, present and future.
Or perhaps I should be adamant, but just not say I am adamant?"

Nope. I was simply saying that both sides argue, and believe with certainty that each is right; scripturally sound, using the same Bible, and it's that confusion that confuses me, and it's that confusion that I was hoping to try and sort out.

John, I'm sorry, but I've changed my mind and don't care to discuss any of this.

I feel like I need to repeat this one more time: Anything I happen to say, or ask on these topics isn't me promoting anything, but rather, simply trying to get a grasp on some things with honest questions.

I admire anyone who has processed, and understands election/predestination, while taking into account the whole of scripture, and being able to resolve any arguments/confusion...that's where I'm trying to get to.

Hey John,

This won't be popular, but it seems to me that both Calvin and Arminius had good, scriptural arguments, which continue on yet today. You know, it's not like all of the theologians and the smart people are on one side, and the dummies on the other side, who aren't seeing things clearly. There are theologians, very well studied, and seasoned Christians who are certain and sure, in both camps. How can this be if one side is so dangerously wrong, and scripture so clear?

I consider the Great Commission. Why are we tasked to spread the gospel; the good news, to every human, past, present, and future? Why is this so important if the elect are the elect, and the rest, not?

Then, I consider the parable of the sower where it seems that all can receive, as opposed to just the elect, but it depends upon what they do with what they received. Does this mean they weren't of the elect to begin with, or they weren't of the elect by their own means?

Then, I consider witnessing. Do we spread the gospel, witness, and end with, "Good luck, by the way...you may or may not belong to Him, and you may be saved, but maybe not, take care now"?

My point is that perhaps there's some truth in each, but people tend to be all in or all out with Calvin or Arminius, with no middl

Thanks John, James, and NeedHim...the mention of witnessing brought to mind a question that always pops into my head when it comes to election. I only have a minute right now, so I'll bring it up later.
