Another Asteroid Close Call

james was one of a number of people that submitted the news that the earth has had another near miss, this time with an asteroid. This particular one is thought to be about 300 meters in length, meaning that if it had struck the earth, it would have destroyed an area of say...South Africa. Not to mention the fall out. But we don't need a better system for watching the stars. Nope. Obviously not.

    Well now if you're Christian good works won't get you into heaven

    Wrong! Faith and good works are absolutely necessary for salvation, as the Bible says, faith without works is dead (James 2:26), what good is faith without works? Can it save him? (cf. James 2:14). For those who refuse to do good works, it is the same as sinning. (James 4:17) And in order to be justified before God, that is to be made righteous before Him, the only way to heaven, "do you see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone?" (James 2:24).

    But let's not get into a religious debate here.

    Bruce Willis is a big girl's blouse. Too scared to get on an aeroplane, let alone a Shuttle!
    We should call him Wussy Willis in future!
