The most convincing explanation for the majority of short GRBs is that in the final stages of an inspiral between a neutron star and a companion compact object, the neutron star is tidally disrupted, providing material to accrete, heat, and eject on sub-second timescales. I describe a search for the gravitational-wave signatures of compact binary coalescence in the vicinity of short GRBs that occurred during S5/VSR1.

Philippians 1:6a “A Call, not a Job; a Vocation, not an Occupation” APPROACHING THE TASK: GOD’S COMMITTEE Selecting a Search Committee Just as the local church is not “our” church but rather God’s, so too the Search Committee is really God’s committee. A search for a new pastor is one of the most spiritual ministries in the church. The selection of Search Committee members is a task that is approached with prayer, wisdom, sensitivity, and awareness that God may be calling certain church members to consider serving in this particular capacity.1 One “best practice” for committee selection includes publicizing the criteria for membership on the Search Committee and inviting persons in the congregation Submitting to submit nominations to the governing board. nominations is one of Submitting nominations is one of the many ways that the many ways that the entire congregation can be informed about and included in the search process; it should be made the entire clear, however, that not all nominees will be congregation can be selected.

  • The Preservation of Scripture
    DBSJ 5 (Fall 2000): 3–44 THE PRESERVATION OF SCRIPTURE by William W. Combs∗ ne of the many issues in the current debate about Greek manuscript Otext-types and English versions is the question of the preservation of Scripture. In fact, as one analyzes the arguments for the King James- only, Textus Receptus (TR), and Majority Text (MT) positions, it soon becomes obvious that the doctrine of the preservation of Scripture is at the heart of many of these viewpoints. It may be helpful, at the outset, to note the major differences among these three perspectives. The MT position differs from the TR position in that it argues that the text of the autographs is more perfectly preserved in the thousands of manuscripts that are part of the Byzantine text-type. Since, therefore, these manuscripts represent a majority of all extant Greek manuscripts, a Greek text derived from a consensus of these manuscripts can be called the Majority Text.1 The TR viewpoint, on the other hand, suggests that the various printed editions of the Greek New Testament, beginning with Erasmus in 1516, more perfectly preserve the autographs. The name Textus Receptus was not formally attached to these printed editions until 1633.2 Though the TR is Byzantine in char- acter, yet, because it is based on only about seven out of the thousands of Byzantine-type manuscripts, it differs from the more broadly based MT. Daniel Wallace has counted 1,838 differences between the TR and the Majority Text of Hodges and Farstad.3 There has been no English translation based on the MT.

  • “Predestination, a Conduit for Blessings” Ephesians 1:11 I. Predestination Is Included in Paul's Ephesian 1 List of Those
    I preached last Sunday on the doctrine of predestination. I preached on Ephesians 1:11 which tells us – In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, (Ephesians 1:11 NKJ) I felt God was with me as I preached. I received good comments from my hearers after the sermon. However, by the providence of He Who controls all things this sermon was not successfully recorded. What should I suppose that means? This Sunday, I will be re-preaching a sermon I had preached before that was not recorded, people asked me to preach it again. Is it God’s will I preach this sermon again also? Here is the sermon outline – “Predestination, a Conduit for Blessings” Ephesians 1:11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, (Ephesians 1:11 NKJ) I still remember the first sermon I heard on the doctrine of Predestination, the pastor read Romans 9, and then said … “This passage isn’t teaching what it seems to be teaching, it is really teaching free will” Let’s go on to chapter 10! I never went to chapter 10 of Romans that day; I just kept reading and re-reading Romans 9 the entire time that pastor preached. Romans 9 was teaching what it seemed to be teaching, and my pastor’s less than 20 word sermon on that passage, avoiding its truth, convinced me he was wrong and the word of God, was and is God’s Word, whether we like everything it teaches or not! Predestination is a blessing, not an evil doctrine - I.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE a Study of Antichrist
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE A Study of Antichrist Typology in Six Biblical Dramas of 17th Century Spain A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Spanish by Jason Allen Wells December 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. James Parr, Chairperson Dr. David Herzberger Dr. Benjamin Liu Copyright Jason Allen Wells 2014 The Dissertation of Jason Allen Wells is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Study of Antichrist Typology in Six Biblical Dramas of 17th Century Spain by Jason Allen Wells Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in Spanish University of California, Riverside, December 2014 Dr. James Parr, Chairperson This dissertation examines Antichrist types manifested in the primary antagonists of six biblical dramas of seventeenth century Spanish theater. After researching the topic of biblical typology in the works of theologians Sir Robert Anderson, G.H. Pember, Arthur W. Pink, and Peter S. Ruckman, who propose various personages of both the Old and New Testaments that adumbrate the Antichrist, I devise a reduced list based on extant plays of the Spanish Golden Age whose main characters match the scriptural counterparts of my register. These characters are Cain, Absalom, Haman, Herod the Great, Judas Iscariot, and the Antichrist himself. I consult the Bible to provide the reader with pertinent background information about these foreshadowings of the Son of Perdition and then I compare and contrast these characteristics with those provided by the playwrights in their respective works. By making these comparisons and contrasts the reader is able to observe the poets’ embellishments of the source material, artistic contributions that in many instances probably satisfy the reader’s desire for details not found in the biblical iv narratives.

Their daughter, Betsy, is an attorney in California, specializing in intellectual property. PREFACE "Where is your warrant?" This question has been asked countless times, but rarely with more drama than in "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax," a Sherlock Holmes adventure. The villain, a bogus preacher named Holy Peters, was unlawfully secreting his victim and Holmes demanded entry. On his side, the great detective had only justice and a revolver. Where was the warrant? Holmes half drew the revolver from his pocket and replied, "This will have to serve till a better one comes," Holmes explained. The approach worked well for Sherlock Holmes but will not do for American law enforcement officials. A revolver can be as effective as a warrant, and may even produce prompter compliance, but given the exclusionary rule, it would be uneconomical to trade in this modest volume for a Colt .45.

To three of these they attach special importance. They denounce Verbal Inspiration as "a mechanical theory of inspira­ tion"; they abhor it as "resulting in an atomistic conception of the Scriptures"; they abominate it as establishing "the legalistic authority of the letter." - The old evil Foe means deadly woe.
