Casual Articles - Sound Bible Christian Teaching Pertaining to Intersex and Gender Identity (Hermaphrodite*)
Information on Investing in Foreclosed Properties text)Our foreclosure articles include information on the different types of foreclosure properties available. Each one has definite characteristics that you need to recognize in order to make informed decisions.Foreclosure homes - Also called foreclosed homes - These are houses that have been foreclosed because of non-payment of the mortgage and are now bank owned homes. Distressed properties - Sometimes called fixer upper homes, these are homes that are in need of repairs. The degree of repairs needed and your ability to identify and price those repairs correctly, will determine whether they are a good investment. Our site includes a guide on how to buy distressed properties.Real estate auctions, or foreclosure auctions - Some bank owned homes and government properties at sold at real estate auctions. Bidding on these properties requires the use of a real estate agent, but if the auction purchase is done right, you are able to buy a very cheap house. Federal homes - These are homes that are owned by different government agencies as a result of foreclosures, or homes that have been seized due to non payment of required taxes or other amounts, or for any other reason. As you can see in our foreclosure articles it is quite easy to secure home loans for federal homes.Homes for sale by owner - Many owners prefer to sell their homes without the help of a real estate agent. Our foreclosure articles have information for the seller as well as for the buyer of for sale by owner homes. These homes for sale by owner may be pre-foreclosure homes, which means that the lender is already in the process of foreclosing on the house and the owner wants to sell fast to save their credit.If you need further information on foreclosure articles, our foreclosures glossary contains the definitions of the terms related to investing in foreclosures, and our FAQ page gives you plenty of additional information. Check our foreclosure articles pages often, we add new content all the time. Let our foreclosure articles give you the information you need to be successful. “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” KJV Eph 5:21-27 THE PURPOSE OF GENDER Next we will attempt to define the concept of gender based on the biblical usage. As we skim though the verses above it looks obvious that God is drawing parallels between the two relationships, one earthly (man and wife) and the other spiritual ( Christ and his spiritual church). This The Assumptive Close in Sales Training “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”
KJV Gal 3:26-28Now, all of my readers know by now that I am not a big fan of "closes", especially taken out of context. Everyone knows how I feel. You should be closing continuously from the time you meet someone, forever.Now I am going to elaborate and incorporate a style in the process of continuously closing... "The Assumptive Close".Quite the contrary to popular belief, the assumptive close is not just about assuming the sale and going for the paperwork. That is a small part of it. The real art of the assumptive close is to make EVERY WORD in your small talk and presentation imply that the sale is already done and that you are just discussing formalities. It is all about attitude.I had the opportunity to call on a potential client the other day and truly it wasn't whether they were going to do it but whether I had enough time in my busy schedule to accommodate them! I have mentioned before that sales professionals often invite me to make a sale with them and I thoroughly enjoy the occasional interaction. Well, on this particular occasion the prospect told me within minutes that they were shopping the product and I was lucky to come at this particular time. I did not take the bait! Quite the contrary. I politely informed them that since our company was the largest with the lowest rates that we really didn't participate in that kind of business but I would certainly try and help them if I could. They then proceeded to tell me that I could take the information and come back at another time with the proposal. Again "The Specialist" didn't take the bait. I assured the potential client that I could take care of everything in a few minutes IF I could help them. I then proceeded to present my proposal and informed them of what I expected of them, in fact I made a list of what I would need in order to make it happen for them.The sale was done. There was really nothing else to talk about except small talk. Everything I did and said during that sales call was from beginning to end an assumptive closing technique! If you noticed the sale was closed and I hadn't done any paperwork! In fact to show how powerful this technique is I informed them I didn't have time to finish but I would TRY and come back the next day. Well needless to say before I ate breakfast the next morning they were calling me to see what time I was coming back and could I squeeze them in that day so they could enjoy the benefits of their product.I don't think I need to go any further! It The scientific, and to a lesser extent the social, understanding of gender has significantly improved as more study and research into this matter has yielded proof that has served to disprove numerous harmful myths. Nevertheless, those who are intersexed and those who do not fit the conventional expectation for gender identity continue to suffer social stigma and merciless marginalization, even at the hands of those who claim to be Christians. PURPOSE OF STUDY The purpose of this study is to shed some light on the Biblical application, meaning and purpose of gender. Upon close examination of scripture, we will discover that there is nothing hideous or remotely negative about being in a state of gender identity that defies the traditionally rigid definition. The truth of the bible and the assertions thereof, if correctly understood, cannot be contradicted by any findings. It is the duty of the Christian to humbly, prayerfully and diligently search for the truth in the bible. Do remember that one cannot come to a perfect understanding in this realm, but the Lord is faithful and very generous with wisdom to those who are his. We also look forward to perfect knowledge with the next coming of Christ. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. KJV 1Cor 13:9-13 DEFINITIONS Key earthly terms for this study; -Gender, as pertaining to humans, refers to the notion that people can divided into groups known as sexes, i.e. male and female, or neither. -In sociology, gender identity describes the gender with which a person identifies (i.e., whether one perceives oneself to be a man, a woman, or describes oneself to oneself in some less conventional way), but also can be used to refer to the gender that other people attribute to the individual on the basis of what they know from gender role indications (clothing, hair style, etc.). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_identity. -An intersexual or intersex person (or organism of any unisexual species) is one who is born with genitalia and/or secondary sex characteristics determined as neither exclusively male nor female, or which combine features of the male and female sexes. The terms hermaphrodite and pseudohermaphrodite, introduced in the 19th century, are now considered antiquated, misleading and stigmatizing, and patient advocates call for these terms to be abandoned [1]. The phrase "ambiguous genitalia" refers specifically to genital appearance, but not all intersex conditions result in atypical genital appearance [2] . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex THE GENDER CONCEPT While these definitions above may need some improvement they do provide a provide us with a point of reference as we delve into the bible for the spiritual application of gender concept and in so doing, we will hopefully dispel most, if not all, sexist ideas that are erroneously accepted as biblical or for that matter Christian. We begin in familiar territory, the most basic spiritual teaching that embodies gender; Christ and His Bride. The bible insists that Christ is in a marital relationship with those he has saved. This is illustrated in the letter to the Ephesians as the Christian is instructed on his or her walk in Christ: (Suggestion; Please read entire chapters of the bible to better grasp the context) “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” KJV Eph 5:21-27 THE PURPOSE OF GENDER Next we will attempt to define the concept of gender based on the biblical usage.

This Insurance Is Available for Pet Caretakers (Sitters and Dog walkers) ity that defies the traditionally rigid definition.

Do remember that one cannot come to a perfect understanding in this realm, but the Lord is faithful and very generous with wisdom to those who are his. We also look forward to perfect knowledge with the next coming of Christ.Most every small business owner is aware of the need of having insurance to protect themselves. It was only a given that the pet care industry would see the importance of having an insurance policy to protect them–and their clients–if an unfortunate event did happen to arise. Pet sitters and dog walkers around the world are coming to see that it is essential to their business (whether part-time or full-time) to have pet sitter’s insurance, and the insurance industry has risen to the occasion and now offers policies to those who care for pets.Pet sitters are animal lovers. They were wise in spotting the change in society and family living and have stepped forward to fill the needs that many pet owners have. In days past, animals were free to roam and many were outside pets. Having an “inside” pet was generally not the norm, but as society changed, so has the way that pets live.Most areas have a leash law and a noise ordinance. Fido is no longer allowed to roam at will and howl at the moon. Pet owners are held responsible for the actions of their pets and this extends down to the pet sitter and dog walker, as well. With the rise of lawsuits, pet owners are turning away from employing a teen in the neighborhood to walk their dog or to feed their pets while they are vacationing. Pet owners have realized that to protect themselves they must employ someone who is an expert in their job, and who is adequately covered by insurance.You may be wondering what pet sitter’s insurance will cover? Pet insurance is like other forms of insurance and has the general liability, bodily injury, and property damage. This insurance will protect you against claims that pet owners, as well as the general population, might bring against you in the event that the pet in your care caused harm or injury to an individual or property.Bodily injury is important. This would cover you if the dog you are walking suddenly darts away from you during his or her walk. In the event the animal jumps upon someone knocking them down and causing injury, you would be covered for the accident. This would also cover you if a pet you are sitting for gets annoyed with the garbage collector. Fido may not understand why someone has come to his home and is hauling stuff away. He may get territorial, run after the garbage collector and bite him or her.Property damage is also crucial to a pet sitter. This would cover an unfortunate event, such as Fido getting hold of an unknown family’s expens For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

This How Many Articles Can An Author Write As An Expert In A Field? 3More and more smart business people are finding the value of writing articles and putting them online in order to propel their expert status in their field. From this they develop a clientele base, which will patronize their businesses. One anonymous author has debated the number of articles one individual can write as an actual expert. Is there really a limit? Can it be possible to write 1000 articles on one subject? I believe it is possible and let me tell you why.I started and founded a mobile car wash business, built it up and then set up franchises in 23 states, it took many years to do this. It took countless hours and along the way I encountered many experiences; each new experience each day could be summarized in a short story or article on the industry. This means after 20 years you could have, if you had kept track of all these experiences over 7300 articles; one for each day. Wow, well that is a lot indeed. Some authors and in particular a new critic of my article writing is, well let’s just call him Ed as whoever it really is refuses to identify their true identity.Now before you say that there is no way to write that many articles, let me point out where you maybe sadly mistaken. First in any business there are countless rules and regulations. Each regulation is many pages. The OSHA laws are actually 47 stories high if you were to stack them on top of one another; page-by-page. If each one were the an article then in fact you might have someEach foot is 10,000 pages times 8 feet per story times 47 stories is over 3.5 million articles. That my friends is only one agency which governs the business world. What about the environmental laws, building codes, ADA, employment laws? In my car wash business we dealt with laws in 23 states plus the fed. Imagine how many articles one could write? A lot is an understatement.So what is the upper limits of articles you can write on a business model? I say it is unlimited. It is not is not 50, it is not 500, it is not 1000 and it is not 7300; in fact it could be over 100,000 or half a million. In building my company, we had to write manuals for our franchisees. We could not make them too awfully complex as people would not be able to read them all. When I finished my set of manuals, which is needed to run a mobile car wash business; we had over 1000 pages, each one have a different topic or sub topic. Then I wrote manuals of how to clean boats, aircraft, trucks and concrete. Each over 500 pages; thi DEFINITIONS Key earthly terms for this study; -Gender, as pertaining to humans, refers to the notion that people can divided into groups known as sexes, i.e. male and female, or neither. -In sociology, gender identity describes the gender with which a person identifies (i.e., whether one perceives oneself to be a man, a woman, or describes oneself to oneself in some less conventional way), but also can be used to refer to the gender that other people attribute to the individual on the basis of what they know from gender role indications (clothing, hair style, etc.). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_identity. -An intersexual or intersex person (or organism of any unisexual species) is one who is born with genitalia and/or secondary sex characteristics determined as neither exclusively male nor female, or which combine features of the male and female sexes.

This Opening a Dollar Store - Establish a Store Footprint and stigmatizing, and patient advocates call for these terms to be abandoned [1]. The phrase "ambiguous genitalia" refers specifically to genital appearance, but not all intersex conditions result in atypical genital appearance [2] . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IntersexOne of the early steps to take when opening a dollar store is to create a footprint of your store. In fact start the process of documenting the footprint of your store as soon as you sign your lease. You will be using that footprint from the moment you sign the lease and for as long as you have an open and operating store.A footprint of your store is simply a drawing of the store and the layout. When first opening a dollar store the footprint will likely be used to determine exactly where to place gondola fixtures, dump bins, cash registers and more. That drawing will help you to insure that aisles are wide enough. The drawing helps to develop a plan for exactly what products will be displayed in each aisle within your store. It helps to insure that there is no wasted space in your store.It is possible to use that footprint when determining expected sales levels for each department. After establishing expected sales per square foot for your store you can then establish expected sales for each department. This is done by simply using the square footage from your store footprint drawing for each department as a part of the calculation. When opening a dollar store your store footprint makes developing expected sales much easier to accomplish.Another valuable use for the store footprint is in ordering merchandise. When opening a dollar store the footprint will greatly help in ordering new merchandise for the first time. In specialized departments such as candy and snacks using the footprint makes reordering a breeze.One of the challenges faced by store owners after opening a dollar store is insuring that employees place the right merchandise in the right locations. Use your store footprint as a visual aid for employees as they place incoming merchandise for display. Employees can simply follow the footprint to know exactly where each department is located and thus where to place incoming merchandise.To Your Dollar Store Success!

This When Your Housing Bubble Bursts: Saving Your Home Through Bankruptcy text)So your low adjustable rate mortgage has increased to market rates and you can’t afford the new payment without missing meals or going without gasoline. You’ve spoken with your lender and there’s nothing they can do for you. Refinancing the adjustable rate mortgage won’t help and the fixed-rate terms are just as onerous. Perhaps you’ve already skipped a credit card payment (or even two or three) to divert the funds to the house payment. Or perhaps you’ve been taking cash withdrawals from your credit cards to have enough to make the house payment. Paul is getting what’s Peter’s but that still isn’t enough because the snowball of debt-disaster has already begun. When you already can’t afford your present lifestyle, going further into debt is not a financial sound response under almost any set of circumstances. Most people know this intuitively, but desperation often creates almost irresistible pressure to do “something”, even if it’s the wrong thing! Here are some things to consider before you start selling assets at a deep discount or taking cash withdrawals from your retirement accounts:So-called debt relief agencies advertise relentlessly, but can’t really help you with your mortgage payments, nor with any other secured debt (cars, furniture, computers, appliances, etc.) for that matter. They attempt to reduce your monthly cash outlay for unsecured debt (credit cards, medical expenses, judgments, etc.). Many are outright shams and require you to default on all of your credit cards before they make an attempt to “settle” with them. This makes your credit worse – not better – and only temporarily forestalls the inevitable. Many take a hefty slice of your monthly payments or take a fee before sending anything to your creditors. Many people have credit card issues along with their home or car payment problems and where that is the case, you will generally be further ahead sooner without relying on these agencies.Many folks facing foreclosure or repossession (in the case of vehicles or mobile-homes) will eventually consider whether bankruptcy may afford them relief from debt. Notwithstanding all the hoopla over the toughening of bankruptcy laws in 2005, for the most part, a non-serial-filer has the same rights under the new law as under the old law. However, the purpose of this article is not to discuss relief from debt, as such, but rather, how bankruptcy – chapter 13 bankruptcy in particular – may be used effectively to save your home in the first “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

As we skim though the verses above it looks obvious that God is drawing parallels between the two relationships, one earthly (man and wife) and the other spiritual ( Christ and his spiritual church). This may lead to the notion that the spiritual marriage somehow the copy or shadow of the earthly marriage between a man and a woman. This instinctive deduction is only natural because we exist in the physical realm and we have to really try a little harder to see things spiritually. Upon reading on to the end of the chapter, we find that the focus of this passage is clearly the Lord and his spiritual church as opposed to marriage as we commonly know it. “So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.” KJV Eph 5:28-33 What we should understand from the example above is that the perfect marriage is the spiritual one, the heavenly one. The marriage between two physical humans is the shadow of that true and perfect marriage between the Lord and his people, this can be referred to as the Fulfilment. The purpose of gender is to show the relationship between Christ and his Eternal Church. ( Not your physical neighborhood church) SHADOW AND FULFILLMENT This shadow and fulfillment relationship of earthly things and concepts to heavenly ones is seen throughout scripture, and a proper understanding of how God uses it to illustrate spiritual themes is crucial to the bible student. The following are some example of shadow – fulfillment relationships: Sacrificial lamb – Jesus Christ “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29 Physical Birth – Spiritual Birth “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” John 3:6-7 Physical Sword –The Spiritual Word of God Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. The High Priest in Jerusalem (right up to the Crucifixion of Christ)- Christ our Heavenly High Priest 1. Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 2. A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 3. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. 4. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: 5. Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. Physical Food-Spiritual Food (Christ and His Gospel) John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. John 6:48 I am that bread of life. APPLICATION OF THE PHYSICAL TO SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIPS Above are just a few examples of readily discernable verses that illustrate the Shadow-Fulfillment relationship that are taught in the bible. What is harder to perceive is that in these Shadow-Fulfillment relationship the substance is act
