| The reality of the Gospel as it can be seen in the world:
God's Glory - Can be seen in the world itself, because our world truly is a beautiful world with gorgeous sunsets, our vast oceans and towering mountains. Even look toward our beautiful bodies with beautiful minds, beautiful movements, and the ability to make beautiful music. God's glory can be seen in all this.
Man's Sin - Sadly this can be seen everywhere as well. There is no place that we have not touched, that we have not corrupted. Look to the extinction of species, the overwhelming topic of global warming. If you do not feel this is caused by our sin, it is by caused by our failure to act, to do what is right, in the face of doing what is easier. We can also look at the wars that we wage, for though the "love of money is the root of all evil", money can also be seen as oil and land and overall power/control that we hold onto and want. Do we not also personally wage war for these things, competing to make the most, and often pushing others down to get higher. Look at the pride we use to justify our actions in pushing others down. Though this may be more controversial for non Christians, we murder in our hearts by cursing others in our hearts. This is sadly the state in which we are in.
The Need for Justice (Hell) - These sins/wrong doings/criminal acts aren't something we can let continue. We may not let someone kill, and have no repercussions so that they may easily kill again. Justice can be seen existing through different forms of justice systems even in family dynamics where a wrong will bring about a punishment for the betterment of the family member. We can feel it in our own hearts when we cry for justice upon seeing a horrendous act, and God's heart acts no differently upon seeing sin.
Fulfillment by Love and Grace (The Cross) - As we have this need for justice and punishment, and the fact that we are all in debt, in debt so far that we cannot repay that the only freedom may be that we are our debt is paid in full by another person, and that the one we are in debt to forgive us our debts. This is, and should be seen through Christians today as they live out this love and grace that they have received. My feelings feel as though we are falling short in this area.
God's Glory more Fully Shown - God's glory will be shown more fully through this Love and Grace that Christians extend and will be shown more and more fully even to the final days. Heaven will be wonderful.

I didn't know "betterment" was a word until I wrote it and it wasn't underlined in red :)

| another flow of thoughtA man who has faith in God gives his life to God. A man who has given his life to God is saved. A man who has given his life to God does God's work. A man who does God works finds joy in his work. A man who finds joy in his work is joyful.

| gospel unendingGod made man. Man sinned against God. God must punish man, but God loves man and holds back wrath. God creates way by God becoming man, and taking the wrath man deserved. Man cannot escape wrath except by giving their life to God. Some men give life to God and are saved from wrath and live with God, some men don't and are punished.

| This entry is not advice for getting a girl to like youI was thinking (as I normally do) about how I often thought about girls and the conversations I had regarding attracting the opposite sex, which led me to think about how my perspective may have changed on this topic, and what I might answer if asked "How can I get this girl to like me?"
Truly I think there is no way to get a girl to like "you". You may only introduce a girl to who you are, and she will like you or not. Ways to go about doing this, is by being her friend, being a friend who shows interest (flirting), and just asking her out on a date. Get to know her and she may only "like" you as a friend, and she may only think of you as a friend when you ask her on the date (This was my scenario with Megan, but she ended liking me in the end) (Yours may end the same as well).
Now, there was a reason why I placed "you" in quotations in the first sentence of my last paragraph. The reason I did this is because it is possible to have a girl like "you" without it being you, but a facade, a front, a mask. Who you are may be the kind of person who puts on a mask, but you are not the mask.
You cannot get a girl to like you, but you can get to see if she likes who you are. Spending time getting to know each other is the way to see if an attraction exists (Who knows, your own attraction may subside as well).
*Warning* Don't scare her off. You may be wearing a mask that scares her (or is unattractive to her) and that mask is not you (because of nervousness, or other's advice).

| How to prove that you're a true Nerd.I like even my work that was wrong, so here's my unfinished post that I was about to post but noticed I was wrong (Writing between "-------------").
---------------
Though I have disproved my theory, I was expanding my theory more by doing more math with it.
As I went further I recognized more and more how much my math didn't work, but it's really fun to conceptualize in your mind. so...
which is greater .01 or .010
sorry, I may have overreached and will now explain the birth of .010 (which will also lend hand to which number is larger). What is
so back to which is larger: Conceptually you may have thought that .01 < .010
----------------
After "larger). What is" is where I stopped, the line after that, is me jumping ahead in my thoughts because I didn't want to lose it.
So once again "Conceptually you may have thought that .01 < .010", but they're equal:
.989 + .01 = .9
.989 + .010 = .9
.989 is now the second largest number under 1.
I'm going crazy with all the possibilities of this numbers. I can't finish working with one aspect before I have to start another part or i'll forget.
This may not be the best entry to you, but I just have to get this down on "paper" or I'll forget.
Since in my theory the smallest number (.01) actually equals zero, I need to see if the second smallest number (.0101) exists and is greater than zero. How to find out if .0101 exists.
---
well, i got productive with other things, so i stopped working on it. So the question still remains about how to find out if .0101 exists, and other questions regarding these problems.
The last thing I found out while I was playing with the numbers is that if:
.989 + .01 = .9
.989 + .010 = .9
and
.9 - .01 = .989
Then when when you minus the "1" in the 3rd equation, it happens from a "9" in the center of the .99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 .
These things will most likely be revisited at a later date.
