Would you be interested in taking a constitution discussion over to the history forum?

Oh oh, I'll come too!

I just got James Montgomery Boice's four volume commentary on Romans yesterday. WOO-HOOO!! Not only is it Reformed...it's also one of the most readable commentaries I've run across.

I'm finishing Sproul's Scripture Alone. I'm going to use his commentary in it on the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy for this week's adult Sunday School class on sola Scriptura.

When I want a break from theology...The Shipwreck of Their Hopes: The Battles for Chattanooga by Peter Cozzens. I had an ancestor who fought in the 33rd Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War and he was wounded at the Battle of Wauhatchie in this campaign.

I love Boice's commentary on Romans. I am going through is commentary on Ephesians right now.

Is there somewhere that people get these multi-volume sets inexpensivly? Because everytime I see them, I cant find a way to get it in the budget.

Reformation Heritage Books is a non-profit bookseller that offers their books at a discount. They have a great selection of rare puritan and reformed books, usually cheaper than I've found anywhere else. My favorite bookstore.

What's the problem with the 14th amendment? (Not trying to pick a fight...just really curious.)

I'd like Northern California to secede from Southern California!!

I guess that depnds on how we define 'expensive'. I got the 4-volume Boice commentaries from CBD for $49.99. They are normally $25 apiece!! CBD aso has sets of hardback classics for relatively cheap. They currently have The Works of B.B. Warfield for $49.99, which might seem expensive until you consider that it's a ten-volume hardback set that normally runs for $400!!

You can also find stuff on CD for cheaper. My wishlist (lotsa wishing here!) contained: History of the Christian Church by Philip Schaff (8 hardback volumes, $119) and Schaff's collection of works by the early church fathers (38 hardback volumes, around $300). For a short time, CBD had all of these, and a complete set of Calvin's commentaries, the Institutes, and the writings of Josephus available on one CD (to load and read on your computer...not an audio CD!) for about $25!!! (Yes...I bought it!!)

There are also websites that have lotsa old stuff, like Puritan writings, with expired copyrights available to read on-line. This is a good one:

Another good one is: http://www.reformed.org/index.html

Hope that helps!!

Yeah! And make Southern California take San Fransisco with them. I'm tired of these metropolitan secular humanist breeding grounds dictating the direction of our state. They need to have their own state to ruin and leave the God-fearing, freedom-loving, honest people of California alone.

As a sister who lives south of SF, we need you guys! Don't abandon us!

Hey, did you know that many big cities are becoming childless? So perhaps they will just fade away. It's the result of their own secular humanist ideas...

Unfortunately, reality is they will just be replaced by more ppl who devalue families and children.

Reading? Oh, yeah. Well, I'm currently reading Genesis, some of the Psalms, Persuasion, and bits and pieces of Francis Schaeffer online.

In Prov. ww read the following from the Lord (personified as Wisdom) " But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death." That is the reality of secular humanistic society in a nutshell. Such people hate the God of Scripture and they produce a culture of death -- a suicidal culture that kills its young and will not produce enough children to sustain itself. It is true in Europe and in our major cities.

Christians need to remeber that children are ablessing and not a curse (as humanist culture pragmatically teaches.

Oh yah-books. I own all of Schaeffer. Read him!!!
Coram Deo.

I had several ancestors that fought for the Confederacy. I'm in the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), are you in the SUVCW (Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War)?

Deo Vindice (Confederate motto),
Kenith

Being the son of immigrants, I can claim neither title, but my best friend is in the SCV. He loves it. We both want to get into re-enacting, but it's so very expensive.

I sided with Patrick Henry and George Mason at Virginia's Constitution ratification convention. I'm old, but not quite that old, however, I do think the anti-federalists like Henry and Mason have been proven by history to have been exactly right.

I agree. If you read the anti-federalist writings now, they seem so prophetic.

I've read a good bit of the founders' writings, and I am a strict (anti-14 Amendment) constructionist/Constitutionalist.

That's what I like to hear!

I would also be willing to seceded from the Union (it is NOT indivisable) as soon as Louisiana elects a new governor.

I'd like Northern California to secede from Southern California!!

If that happens, I'd be seeing you all real soon, as I'd be kissing Ohio goodbye moving to Louisiana or N. California if at all possible. If only there really seemed to be a chance of that happening. I tend to doubt it.

I believe my brother-in-law is the national chaplan for the SCV. His name is Ron Rumburg. Here is his web site:

OH YEAH!THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!

I'd have to do the same...but I love where I live I'm a southern Californian. I can go skiing and surfing in the same day!

 

[rmwilliamsll]

my actively reading pile (at least 1 chapter per day in each)

visser's ken wilber: thought as passion
keller's ministries of mercy
grant's the micah mandate
huntemann's the other bonhoeffer
bonhoeffer's life together

both keller and grant are very good introductions to the ministry of mercy.

Just finished "Redemption Accomplished and Applied" by Professor John Murray....good book, not for the faint in heart though

 

[Cajun Huguenot]

To those interested in the Constitution, I sent grinning dwarf a link to an article I wrote on the Constitution and Secession. It was posted on the history forum back in Aug 2004. Y'all can check it out.

I think it is as good a place as any to start a discussion on this topic.

Deo Vindice,
