My Most Popular Post

For whatever reason, this post get's the most hits by a rather wide margin and has consistently over time. http://www.danchapa.blogspot.com/2008/05/commands-and-invitations-for-impossible.html Perhaps it's the subject matter of the post, or perhaps it's the Star Trek analogy that triggers google searches (although people do seem to spend time on the page). Another interesting thing is that there are very few comments, but posts that generated lots of comments don't get read near as often. Hum... Not sure what to make of it.

Dan, just out of curiosity, how do you know how often certain posts are visited?

Hi Boss,

I use google analytics. It's a free app that's fairly easy to set up and works well with blogger. It gives some interesting metrics from the date you set it up.

BTW, I also use google reader and recommend it as well.

God be with you,
Dan

Hi Odeliya,

Does Snarfer or any other readers you know of work with email? I think it would be cool to have it all in one.

God be with you,

Dan, brother,

There are third party ways/programs that would do it, google and choose one, but i cant recommend anything for I never tried it. Or you can use Microsoft Outlook 7( not outlook express) it has that joining email and feeds capability.

I personally like Snarfer(and i tried quite a few of them, there was only one that I liked just as much but it didnt work with Vista), for it has the typical mail layout. I am not even on your site now but i see the contents of the post in the "email" window and typing into it.And I can set the updates of Ebay auctions, there is always something i am looking for there, being a cheapskate i am :)

I honestly never thought of combining email with something else because my online activities are messy as is -some stuff is in left to right format, some right to left :) So i keep all Snarfer feeds from englishspeaking sites only, and mail is a bilingual mess :)

Responsibility - Evaluation of Arminian Grounds for LFW

Outline of Edwards Arguments in part V.I Arminians say if something causally predetermines our choices, we are not responsible. But responsibility is not the cause of choices, it’s in the nature of choices If responsibility is in the cause of choices, we search through an infinite regression of causes, and nothing is ever responsible. My Response Point 1 is close, but not quite accurate. While our actions can be predetermined, our choices cannot be. Choice cannot be predetermined, else it’s not choice. Predeterminism leave us with only one possible action, but choice requires alternatives (i.e. more than one). A “predetermined choice” is self-contradictory, implying we can choose something we can’t choose. So we think Calvinists are inconsistent for saying we can choose. Also, Arminians agree that we are responsible for our choices. Even though we deny we are responsible for things we are causally predetermined to do, we are not saying responsibility lies in the cause of choices,...

Calvinism’s problems with Total Depravity

This post will be an attempt to add some detail to earlier comments about problems reconciling Calvinism and total depravity, using John Hendryx post as an example ( here ). To my knowledge, it’s a new argument against Calvinism. Most Arminians are quick to agree with Calvinists on total depravity to avoid being called semi-Pelagian. However, this in my opinion is a mistake, not because Arminians disagree with total depravity, but because Calvinists have some definitional and consistency problems with affirming total depravity. Here's the basic argument: Premise 1: Per Calvinists, total depravity is a problem with man’s desires, it is a moral and spiritual problem. However, the depraved person is not physically or mentally handicapped or under coercion. The depraved still choose, they just always choose wrong when it comes to faith in Christ and pleasing God. Premise 2: Calvinists are compatible determinists. God’s decrees determines all things but we remain free in some sens...

Scripture and the Common Man

Paul seems to missunderstand my view on scripture. He states: Crucial to Dan’s argument is the claim that “common man” are all, each and every, libertarians. If Dan claims that some “common men” are not indeterminist, but determinist, then he defeats one of his premises, or makes the Bible speak in contradictions. To spell this point out, recall that Dan says, “The Bible is written by and to the common man, it means what they mean, since they mean certain words libertarianly, then the Bible so means those words.” Yet if we allow some (even one?) of the “common men” to whom the Bible was written to be determinists, then it must mean what they mean by the words that are the topic of our discussion. However, since there are indeterminist “common men”, then the Bible must also mean what they mean by the words we are discussing! Therefore, Dan must assume that each and every “common man” is a libertarian, which I find highly implausible. ( link ) It was not said what was said I said. The b...
