When Bitcoin demonetizes gold, it's going to be cheaper, and you'll wear see and enjoy more of it.

The concept of free will contradicts God hardening Pharaoh's heart. IMO, God is the fountain of free will which flows through each of us. The freedom is His. And He lives in us.

Yes. It is the sin in each of us which is condemned. God knows better than to throw the baby out with the bathwater, and I believe that is true even of Pharaoh.

Interesting take. I don't think it fits with infinite mercy to make something to be destroyed. My interpretation is that, if we knew the implications, there are plenty of parts of ourselves which we wouldn't want to be eternal.

"6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord.

7 And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them." 1 Sam 8

Amen.

"We are chosen because God cares for us and because He wants to demonstrate His mercy."

> This may be true from an eternal perspective, but it is important to avoid complacency. How do you really know you are one of the chosen? There are lots of people who go to church and parrot words from a book who turn around and do or support terrible things.

"He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good." (Proverbs 19:8)

> These two things are not mutually exclusive and I would caution you against assuming that seeking wisdom is selfish. Doing good is not just good for you, it's good for everyone. And that's wisdom.

Trump certainly isn't Ron Paul, but we should take what we can get
