Somewhere I read that female body weight (i.e. she has to be small and pretty) is as much of a cultural thing as the male penis size (the bigger the better). Knowing how Im not attracted to men with big penises, is it the same thing with men? Or are they less attracted to overweight females? Or is it more of an issue for women because their body weight is visible and male penis size can only be determined in a very intimate setting?

I just got off the phone with my radiologist. I have tested positive for breast cancer. She is ordering an MRI and a PET scan. What can I expect with these two tests? How much discomfort is involved. I'm to get an IV for the MRI and an injection for the PET...

A STANDING CHALLENGE

For those who preach a free, universal offer of eternal salvation, we challenge you to give us ONE scripture, which plainly states and proves that:

1. God has ever OFFERED eternal life to anyone, to be “accepted” or “rejected”.
2. One or more persons for whom Christ died, or made vicarious atonement, shall suffer eternal destruction or torment; and that,
3. God has left the eternal destiny of one or more of the “redeemed” to any human means or agency whatsoever.

If the teachings now being propagated in professed Christendom are the truth of God, then at least ONE plain, categorical statement — inspired of God — ought to be readily shown. If no such teaching or Scripture can be found in God’s Book (KJV), then all of these popular teachings should be exposed for what they are, namely, anti-Christ lies which deny the sovereign dominion of God in both grace and creation.
We are not asking for a theological dissertation, but for just ONE plain scripture, without interpretation, more if you can find them.
NOTE: The above appeared in issues of the Old Faith Contender, edited and published by Elder W. J. Berry, Sr. The Old Faith Contender has not been published since 1982, and Elder Berry died in 1986. However, this challenge is as good today as it was when Elder Berry was active in his publications. If anyone can produce scriptural references, in line with the above challenge, please let me know and submit them in writing. (The Primitive Baptist Library, 4031 North N.C. Highway #87, Elon, NC 27244, established by Elder Berry, still operates under the guidance of trustees and any donations to support the operations and maintenance of the Library will be greatly appreciated.)

FOR WHOM DID CHRIST DIE?
By Elder John Owen

The Father imposed His wrath due unto, and the Son underwent punishment for, either:

1. All the sins of all men.
2. All the sins of some men, or
3. Some of the sins of all men.

In which case it may be said:

a. That if the last be true, all men have some sins to answer for, and so none are saved.
b. That if the second be true, then Christ, in their stead suffered for all the sins of all the elect in the whole world, and this is the truth.
c. But if the first be the case, why are not all men free from the punishment due unto their sins? You answer, Because of unbelief. I ask, Is this unbelief a sin, or is it not? If it be, then Christ suffered the punishment due unto it, or He did not. If He did, why must that hinder them more than their other sins for which He died? If He did not, He did not die for all their sins!
===================================================================

HOW IS SALVATION WROUGHT?

Jerome Zanchius (1516—1590) wrote that conversion and salvation must, in the very nature of things, be wrought and effected either:

1. By ourselves alone, or
2. By ourselves and GOD together, or
3. Solely by GOD Himself.

True believers are for the last (#3), because it is built on the strongest evidence of Scripture, reason and experience: it most effectually hides pride from man, and sets the crown of undivided praise upon the head, or rather casts it at the feet, of the glorious Triune GOD, Who worketh all in all.

====================================================================

FREEWILLER’S PERCEPTION
By Elder James P. Rines

Those preaching and teaching free will declare that:

1. Christ wants you to be saved.
2. The devil wants you to be damned.
3. You must cast the deciding vote, as to whether to vote to choose God or the devil.

The dilemma facing the freewiller by their proposition of the above is when they are asked, what happens if a person does not choose neither God or the devil? Their reply is that everyone must make a choice between God and the devil. Then, if everyone must make a choice, that is not free will, that is compulsion! Next obvious observation is, by common/natural logic, no one chooses the devil. The freewiller then squirms and says that if one does not choose God they have automatically chosen the devil. Even in this reply the freewiller has trapped themselves in their nonsense and garbage, because it would not be free will for anyone to have something cast upon them automatically!

The doctor found nothing wrong with my eye...but it feels like it is bulging. Seems to be pressure in the eye, but I am kind of young to have glaucoma. There is no pain and my eye looks normal. No headaches either. Could this be eyestrain? It seems to last all day, even after I get off of the computer.

I have a pc and an Xbox running through a data switch box,
so that I can use both on one monitor. But the picture on my monitor is rubbish when running through the switch.
If I connect directly ,ie PC to monitor/Xbox to monitor its fine.
My monitors is a widescreen LCD 1440 x 900 res.
The switch box was cheap, Is it possible if I get a better quality one the display will be better?
Thanks for any advice.

I love older women. Older meaning 10-20 years my senior (I am 28) I believe they are so sexy, self assured and honest. They are experienced and you know where you stand. If they want something you will surely be told exactly what it is they want. No hidden agendas. What are your thoughts on this, ladies? Is this normal of more of a latent Oedipus complex?

Clearly the tax cuts did not cost revenue - revenue has been relatively constant in proportion to GDP for 40 years, and revenue is up dramatically since the 2003 tax cuts - note, in real dollars it fell after Bush Sr's tax hike...

Clearly the budget problem is a matter not of too little tax revenue but of too much spending, as spending has gone up even faster than revenue!

Clearly the benefits did not go 'only to the upper classes' - their effective tax rates are UP, while those for the lower income groups' are DOWN - and that's even assuming there is a "they," which we have repeatedly shown there isn't - we've shown time and again on these boards that high income people are low income people 25 years later.

A lady walked into a pharmacy and told the pharmacist that she needed some cyanide.

The pharmacist said, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"

The lady then explained she needed it to poison her husband.

The pharmacists eyes got big and he said, "Lord, have mercy -- I cant give you cyanide to kill your husband Thats against the law Ill lose my license, theyll throw both of us in jail and all kinds of bad things will happen Absolutely not, you can NOT have any cyanide"

The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacists wife.

The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well, now. You didnt tell me you had a prescription!!

Three guys, a Canadian, Osama Bin Ladin and Uncle Sam are out walking together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.
"I will give each of you each one wish, that's three wishes total," says the Genie.
The Canadian says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada." With a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' the land in Canada was forever made fertile for farming.
Osama Bin Ladin was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around Afghanistan, so that no infidels, Jews or Americans can come into our precious state." Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' there was a huge wall around Afghanistan.
"Uncle Sam" (A former civil engineer), asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 15,000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the country; nothing can get in or out---virtually impenetrable.""Uncle Sam" says, "Fill it with water!"

Hi
I've had my period since i was 12 and i'm now 22. My period was heavy up (as in normal for me) until these past to months.I get the cramps and gas previous to my period then it comes and its only almost like discharge but a redish browish colour. I'm not to sure what it means. I use to get that at the end of my cycle but never in the beginning or in the middle. Also it only lasts for 2 or 3 days.
I mean i was stressed out about a month ago but can it still affect my period a month after?

Thanks
