I agree that this is a great feature in Google Drive. I use gmail for my messaging, so it is quite useful. Google’s sharing is much more efficient than the other cloud services.

I just wish the mobile apps were more useful and that the in-browser word processor allowed zooming.

I’ve been using Drive for a long time. Since the change from Docs to Drive, the increased functionality has kept me from being too interested in the other options. I’ve fiddled with Dropbox a bit, but it hasn’t stuck for me.

One of my pet peeves for a long time was that I couldn’t just attach a Docs file to an email from the gmail web interface. Now I have the option of providing a link to the document without jumping through any hoops. If the document has been private up to that point, gmail will remind me that the folks I’m emailing won’t be able to see it and then will give me the option to make it public to anyone with the link. They can also download the document or just access it, as they choose.

I’m sure you’ve used those features yourself. But the integration with my email is a highlight for me.

I dont know if Im just being impatient or Im just a noob. Ive been looking for a sorta “aska question” box or “contact us” button but apparently there is none- sorry if there is. Anyway, I have a question and this is rather framed a bit formal cos Im sending this out to online entities who I think are theologically equipped to answer the question

Hi,

I was hoping you could give me a little insight about this:

Romans 7:18 (KJV)

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

Now my question is: Do you think Paul was implying that there is absolutely no good in humans? Or that we are absolutely incapable of containing good apart from Christ? But wait.. What was Paul’s notion of “good”? Was he equating it to holiness? righteousness? things that are obviously unattainable without Christ.. apparently not- at least that’s what I think -If one examines the whole Romans 7 text, it is as if good is being framed in the context of actions. Rom 7:16 “I agree that the law is good” says Paul.. and by complying with the law, you attain “good”. Now the controversy arises: Did God intend us to be like this? Incapable of good?

I intend this question to lead to the issue of predestination and free will. Luther argues freewill to be false because it only leads to our doom. Indeed, darkness is necessary to see the stars. So did God create humans incapable of good to showcase his glory? What Jonathan Edwards calls the ultimate end of which God created the world?

The law bred sin, Romans 7:7 “I would not have known what sin is had it not been for the law”. Indeed if it not for the law, we wouldn’t have known how separate God is, how holy he is. So.. Is sin predestined? Are we predestined to sin?

I think free will and predestination can coexist at the same time.It might be that our daily choices are induced by free will, but we have a predestined end.

Id appreciate a reply. Indeed this is a Christian’s struggle.Basic of the basics, the very fundamentals of my faith and I want the truth. I haven’t consulted it with our pastor tho. I have also raised this question to my Christian friends so that they’ll also consult with their local pastors. I wish to find consensus in the body of Christ.

Thanks!
Mars

Comment on Thinking about Zacchaeus: Tuesday by michaelandrzejewski

I like the way that you put that…”Once Jesus entered Zacchaeus’ world…” We should be busy trying to invade others’ worlds and not waiting or simply inviting them to enter into our “Christian” or church world. Very good thought. Thanks.

Comment on Some Thoughts on GOLIAH OF GATH by Erik

NEPHILIM is a plural. You cannot have “a nephilim”.

Also, NPL simply means “amazing” or “unique”. It is related to PLA in Akkadian.

But grammar and language aside, saying Goliath was one of the Nephilim requires an extrabiblical assertion. According to Genesis, the Nephilim were wiped out in Noah’s flood.
