Preserve the puzzles!
Please go here and encourage Aaron to continue posting puzzles.
I just figured out how to include pictures! I've been wanting to do that for a while... this one is of the trees outside of saga. It's from a roll I recently developed, but suspect is the same one that I took during the Comp I final. :D
The exegesis paper is on Romans 14:1-4, is entitled Unity Despite Diversity, and includes in the historical background a discussion of the Edict of Claudius referred to by Suetonius (ancient historian whose name is exceptionally fun), mentioned by Luke (Acts 18:2), and described somewhat differently by Dio. This was included in the paper because there is a wide range of opinions on whom the "weak" and the "strong" were, and it was helpful in validating some of the theories. If anyone wants further details, ask me in person or leave comments.
Meanwhile, since I really should be doing homework, I leave you with this statement:
Sovereignty is a joke or free will is a game.
Agree, disagree, in either case, comment!

God wills that we have a choice. Hence, God is sovereign and we are ... sort of free.
There are non-Christian objections to free will too, of course. But I think all objections stem from unworkable definitions of freedom. For finite beings, freedom cannot possibly mean freedom from all constraints. We are constrained in various ways by our own nature, if nothing else. That's the case whether or not God is sovereign.
I'll put it another way: God made us, so anything we think or do is within his will in some sense or another.
I realize, of course, that I am being glib.
