Responses to "What the Gospel Isn't" - and "Is"
Frank responds, "The gospel isn't a denial of the deity of Jesus the Messiah."
Tommy says, "One thing that is NOT the gospel is 'You're not good enough,' 'You're not worth God's love or time or effort,' 'God is a long way off.' "
Michael says, "The Pattern is not The Gospel."
Donna says, "The Gospel is not five clean and easy steps that ends in baptism and earns us a right to be a Christian. The Gospel is not something one group has a better handle on than another. The Gospel should NOT be a point of division."
Royce agrees, "The gospel is not a relegious system, even if it was concocted by coC folks."
From a different perspective, Bruce says, "The Gospel is not a new religion."
PegC says: "... every word in scripture is not gospel. ... I can trust God and instead of asking, 'why me, Lord?' I can ask, 'Why not me, Lord?' "
From a place of extraordinary sympathy for recently-paralyzed brother in Christ, Lacey speaks of the gospel inspiring: "... a trust and a faith that says ... 'Lord, we don't know why all of this has happened...but we know that we love you.' It's that kind of trust and faith that allow us to have that love relationship with the God who is love. And anything else never has been and cannot be the gospel."
We all come to an understanding of what the gospel is - and isn't - as the result of a long and ongoing journey. Each step in the journey adds to or subtracts from that understanding.
To me, in simplest form, the gospel begins with the Story of Jesus. It saves us (1 Corinthians 15:2). Yes, I know that many other things are spoken of in scripture as saving us (see By Grace, Through Faith, Expressed in Works? for a short list), and ultimately Jesus saves us (see The Gift of Baptism for steps in my journey to that point).
So, in the end - as so many of you pointed out in your responses to What Is The Gospel? - the good news is also the Story of Jesus and us. We become a part of it.
We see Him instrumental in creation. We are comforted at His incarnation when we fall. We witness His mercy toward those He calls and who are willing to follow. We learn from His laws. We see ourselves distanced from Him when we disobey. We yearn for His presence among us. We follow the star that leads to His manger-crib; follow Him in awe and listen as He teaches and watch as He heals and blesses. We follow and are heartbroken as we gaze at Him on the cross; are astounded when we peer into His empty tomb; are startled when we realize that all He has predicted is coming true. We are compelled to love as He loves; teach as He teaches; bless as He blesses; promote peace as He redeems creation and draws all of us closer to God. And we feel that sense that - even with the gift of His own Spirit inspiring each breath within us - it cannot be close enough until He returns.
What I think most of us agree upon is that the gospel - though long in the unfolding and the scriptural telling - is really very simple. When we are troubled by what seem to be complications in it, I believe it's because we are demanding too much of the gospel to satisfy our heads, and ungrateful for the sufficiency it has for our hearts. When we focus on any single aspect of it to the exclusion of others, we rob it of its panoramic power. When we zoom in, for instance, on details of law and reason alone, we neglect the big picture that says "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength" and "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
That's what Jesus came to teach us, to show us, exemplify for us, to live out and die to achieve among us.

I'm glad you revisited this...I had a feeling you weren't quite done with it!
So you did finally to decide to share w/us your interpretation of the gospel. And, yes, it does sound similar to your other declarations of the gospel that I've read in this not-so-goofy old blog of yours!
Thanks for compiling these, analyzing them, and pointing out the common thread...that is, this marvelous relationship that we can have with Him, as we journey through this life, learning what it really is to love each other, and to love Him.

The gospel "saves us"? From what?
And I can't agree that we "become" a part of the story. We ARE a part of the story. Some of us just don't realize it yet.
I still can't see that anyone has answered my question... what does the term "Messiah" mean?
- Keith Brenton said...
bruced, while it's true that "Messiah" means "chosen one" or "anointed one," that's hardly proof that contradicts scripture also speaking of Christ as both God and the Son of God.
Saved from what? "Perishing" would be Paul's answer throughout his epistles.
I realize that you are trying your best to share the comfort you have found in a system of universal salvation that has nothing to do with anything we might do in response to God's love, but that's simply not a system found in scripture - unless you are willing to ignore or rationalize large portions of it. How we respond to God matters to Him. Our faithfulness confirms His gospel. It has never been a question of whether He has to work through us; it's that He chooses to work through us.
"For to be sure, he (Jesus) was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God's power we will live with him to serve you." - 1 Corinthians 13:4
- bruced said...
We're getting closer! And what did the prophets say that the "annointed one" would accomplish?
Well, good luck with your religious systems, brother! You'll never know true freedom in Christ as long as you think your redemption to God is based on your faith. I tried for nearly 40 years. It doesn't work. I can have no assuredness of my standing with God as long as that responsibility is on me. None.
But, hang in there, friend. As your faith begins to fail you, you'll have no choice but to accept the grace of God. That's when it gets really good. That's when we awaken to the reality of who we really are in God!
You'll be just fine!
- Keith Brenton said...
bruced, my faith - and yours, and the faith of everyone else - is a gift from God. (Ephesians 2:8; you know that).
You keep talking about faith as if it is something totally up to you. It's not. It's a gift. It's a partnership. It is His faith in you, yes; but it is also your faith in Him. Whether you participate in it is totally up to you.
Paul expresses the relationship in terms of a marriage. If both parties don't agree to participate in a marriage, it fails. God doesn't force you to use the gift He gave you.
Jesus expresses it as a father and prodigal child. You choose. If you walk away, He waits. He doesn't go chasing after you, forcing you to come back home. He waits until you come back, and once you're in sight, He runs to you.
It's not a religious system. It's a relationship. God doesn't call all the shots. He could, but He doesn't. He leaves it up to us to choose, one of the most extraordinary privileges any being can give to another as a gift.
Why do you insist on minimizing the value of that gift? None of us is going to handle it perfectly. God doesn't expect that of us. Instead, He provided it in the person of His Son.
- bruced said...
Cool, man!
If what you've got is working for you, hang onto it with everything you got! But, when it lets you down, remember these conversations. I know you don't want to hear this stuff, but I am compelled to speak the good news to all. I'll be glad to leave you alone though. No sweat off my back! ;)
And you're right, it is like a marriage. But, I don't think you understand marriages of that time. It wasn't a two-way relationship. It was purely the "man" choosing (or buying) his bride.
And I think you're missing the point of the prodigal son. I see it as a demonstration of a love so incredible, there is no reason NOT to come back.
I'm minimizing the gift? I see it as His amazing grace (love) that you're minimizing. You don't believe God could be THAT loving, do you? Your religion won't permit you to trust God THAT much!
Like I said before, it really doesn't matter what you believe about God. But if you will allow yourself to imagine for a moment that God's love is greater than anything we can possibly know, even greater than you and your "faith", it will set you free to participate in unimaginable connectedness to God.
Certainly, I can't convince you of anything. These are concepts that your spirit must awaken to, and permit you to open your heart to the revelation that brings the fullness of Life.
May you have great peace.
Are you still angry about the men who don't give enough?
- Keith Brenton said...
Who said they were men ; ) ?
I'm over it for the moment. It's their loss. I'll probably get ticked off about something else down the road; I'm human. ( Jesus, as I recall, was pretty ticked off about a marketplace being set up within the temple courts.)
I'm not sure we disagree on a whole lot, bro - God through Christ has done all of the heavy lifting when it comes to taking away sin and guilt.
All that He really asks of us is that we believe that, accept the fact, and live out the truth of it.
- Frank Bellizzi said...
Keith, words in your post like "follow" and "are compelled" remind me that it's a kind of category mistake to try to size up the gospel as merely a message.
In 1 Thessalonians 1:5, Paul says "our gospel came to you not simply in words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction." Gospel is a noun and a verb. And the two can hardly be separated, as James 2makes clear.
- laymond said...
Keith, how do those who say all are saved by the sacrifice of Jesus, justify the scripture that seems to give up on salvation for most.
Mt:7:14: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
- Keith Brenton said...
laymond, it's been my experience that those who support universal salvation will do so with a handful of scriptures, and explain away all of those dealing with faith by saying that those are talking about God's faith in us, or Jesus' faith in God or somesuch.
Those scriptures dealing with repentance they say are not limited to this life, and that people can and will repent when God saves them and they experience His goodness first-hand.
Things like Matthew 25 are extremely inconvenient for them, and must be explained away in some manner, and all kinds of treatises have been written to emasculate the sense of what Jesus says there.
They usually don't bother with scriptures having to do with baptism or confession or living godly lives or
- bruced said...
It seems that you have more faith in the bible than you have in God.
Jesus showed us that there is no reason to fear death, but instead we cling to religious ideas that propose a formula for escaping death. We are advised to "repent"... change our minds about God and death. But instead we devote ourselves to faith recipes that promise life. We are told to be baptized (transition from one realm to another), but instead we cater to rituals which promise deliverance.
Salvation is of the mind, and it is a gift from God to those who believe that Jesus truly demonstrated fallicy of death's claims over us. When we can understand the enormity of that fact, the possibilities to experience abundant life are endless! The Messiah redeemed all the world to the Creator... He bought the field containing the pearl. Rejoice in the understanding that you are His, whether you want it or not... whether you like it or not... and whether you accept it or not!
Look within your heart for understanding and revelation. God is there, He always has been, and will always be. Believe it or don't believe it. It doesn't change the Heart of God. But believing it will change your heart, and will set you free from all your fears and doubts.
God is with you.
- Cliff said...
You said: "it's been my experience that those who support universal salvation will do so with a handful of scriptures,"
Well let me give you a handful and when you explain each of these I have a few hundred more.
"1 John 4:14-15
14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. "
"Rom 5:6-8
6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. "
"Rom 5:10-11
10 For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. "
"Rom 5:18-19
18 Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. "
"Rom 11:32
32 For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all. "
"2 Cor 5:14-15
14 For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. "
"2 Cor 5:18-21
18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. "
"1 Tim 1:12-17
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service. 13 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. 14 The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners — of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. "
"Rom 8:20-21
20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. "
"1 Tim 2:1-6
2:1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all men — the testimony given in its proper time."
"Rom 14:11
11 It is written:
""'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.'"" "
"John 1:6-9
7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 9 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. "
"John 12:30-33
30 Jesus said, ""This voice was for your benefit, not mine. 31 Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. 32 But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself."" "
"1 Tim 4:9-10
9 This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance 10(and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men , and especially of those who believe. "
"2 Sam 14:14
14 Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him. "
"Heb 13:7-8
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. "
"Heb 2:8-9
In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. "
"Isa 45:23-25
23 By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity
a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow;
by me every tongue will swear. 24 They will say of me, 'In the LORD alone
are righteousness and strength. '""All who have raged against him
will come to him and be put to shame. 25 But in the LORD all the descendants of Israel
will be found righteous and will exult. "
"Eph 1:9-10
9 And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment — to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. "
"Eph 2:4-9
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions — it is by grace you have been saved.
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. "
"Eph 2:13-17
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
15 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,
16 and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. "
"Rom 11:32-36
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief , that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen."
"Heb 9:24
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:"
"Heb 9:26
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself."
"Acts 15:10-11
10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear?
11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."""
"Acts 10:28
28 He said to them: ""You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with a Gentile or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean. "
Keith....I respect the man that you are and I have been that man, but once you are truly set free there will be no going back.
- laymond said...
Cliff, it is plain to see you have come well prepared to preach your gospel, but not so much the total gospel brought by the Lord Jesus.
I just have a couple of questions,
do you believe in heaven, and if the sacrifice on he cross was the final act of salvation why are we still here.
Who wouldn't like to have someone come to them and say, "I have paid off all your debts, and bought you an island paradise" you ask "why" the answer "because I love you".
Years later you are still laboring at your job. ( I know poor analogy but nothing is totally free, not even the garden of Eden)
- Keith Brenton said...
Gents, I can respond with scriptures like 2 Peter 3:9 and Acts 2:38 and John 3:16-18 and Revelation 22:17 till the cows come home and the good Lord returns, and you are still going to believe what you want to believe, and see in those scriptures what you want to believe. You can't just ignore them.
Of course you are right in saying that there is no one that God does not love. But that does not mean that there is no one that God will not save. Why? Because He says otherwise, and His reasons are His own.
Jesus does draw all men unto Himself. And some of them still walk away.
If indeed it is a "religious system" as you accuse, it is God's system by His design, not mine.
Universal salvation is not the gospel. Sorry. There is a part of me that desperately wishes it could be - just as I am sure that there is a part of God's own nature that desperately wants it to be. But that part of His loving nature would conflict with the just and righteous part of His nature.
And half a God is no God at all.

Laymond quoted this passage:
Mt:7:14: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Laymond, First, when you quote something maybe it would be better if you quote the whole quote on the narrrow and wide gates? It says:
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Geo here:
I know this will be a hard one for you but here goes.
The STRAIT Gate that is narrow and leads to life is "GRACE"! Without your belief! Grace without your beliefs is a NARROW Gate and there are few who find it and it does lead to life.
Then it says:
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
The WIDE& BROAD Way that leads to destruction is following THE LAW and believing in your "PERSONAL" Faith in order to be accepted by God. It leads to destruction of all who go that way. As it was meant to do.
Did you also notice that even those who go in through the WIDE Gate (The Law) are also "IN" ? In what? IN The Kingdom thats what!
Anyway as Bruced has said, hold on to what you believe and one day it will fail you. And in that day you will come to the knowledge of the Faith of God and then life will be something you never could have imagined.
- Keith Brenton said...
Sorry, Geo, that ain't the gospel either.
It's never been by grace alone, but by grace through faith.
Where did you get the interpretation that the broad way is "through faith"?
Y'all keep saying that our faith will fail us. How can you know that for a fact?
Finally, bruced - my faith IS the way I accept God's grace.
Whether you like it or not, so is yours.
- Bold Grace said...
Keith Wrote:

Geo Here:
I AGREE! Does it surprise you that Bruced and Cliff would also agree with that statement?
Because you see Salvation is of the soul i.e the mind, will and emotions. But we do believe that ALL are Redeemed! Which is of the spirit. Which is what we are! Our spirits were Redeemed and there is NOTHING we can do about that be it believing or unbelieving. It is when a person becomes aware of their Eternal Redemption that they then can believe and be "saved" in their mind. Which leads to great peace. Redemption and Salvation are two very different and distinct things. So again Keith we agree with you that Universal Salvation is NOT the Gospel. But Universal Redemption is!
Please show me from The Scriptures (definition being what Jesus called the scriptures i.e , The Law, The Psalms & The Prophets) Where mankind would be given a chance at redemption. Nowhere in what Jesus Himself called the scriptures will you find a Redeemer who would redeem a few. The Prophets of Old spoke of a Redeemer to come who would Redeem ALL and wipe the tear from EVERY Eye!
Jesus also said that not one jot or tittle would pass from the Law, the Psalms or the Prophets until ALL THINGS about him had been completed. That means the minute one observance of the Law (630 of them) ceased to be observed then ALL things had been accomplished. No more judgment no more destruction of the world. The world ended 2007 years ago at the Cross. In that world mankind related to God according to laws rules and regulations. The New World relates to God through Grace and Peace that was brought by the Sacrifice of Jesus. The reason the world is not seen as new is that Christians do not trust the faith "of" God and instead have embraced their faith "in" God.
- Bold Grace said...
Keith Said:
It's never been by grace alone, but by grace through faith.
Geo Here:
AGAIN we agree! It is By Grace through Faith!
But where we disagree is you think it is God's Grace Through Your Faith.
I believe it is God's Grace Through Jesus Faith which is NOT of myself.
- Keith Brenton said...
And there you have it, laymond, from folks who can explain their point of view far better than I can. Because I just cannot see it.
I don't see a distinction between salvation and redemption in scripture. Obviously, these folks have spent a lot of time structuring it to their satisfaction.
In the end, universal salvation/redemption/whatever sounds like a very attractive prospect: "Oh, boy! I don't have to do anything and I'm saved! I don't have to believe anything and I'm redeemed! I don't have to live a moral life or let Christ's Holy Spirit dwell in me and nudge me to do the right thing, and I still go to heaven!"
I don't and can't see salvation/redemption/the gospel that way. It is Christ in us, the hope of glory.
- Cliff said...
You are the one making the claim of required faith on our part. Let me ask then: Just what is required in our faith? You can not answer that because the minute you try you divide yourself from the other 32,000 other answers given in the land of organized christianity.
You asked for scriptures, and then you avoid the ones we have given. Do you really have an open mind? I spent 20 or more in the Churches of Christ and I know exactly where you stand. I think you are fooling yourself when you talk about trust in the full gospel. Explain to me just what is your full gospel?
You also said something in you wishes what we say could be true....Could that just be the Spirit tesifying to yours?
I wish for you peace, but since I have been where you are I know that is not possible until you give up all strivings to be OK with God and just accept the fact that HE loves you period.

Keith do you really think that the trusting of the faith "of" God really leads people to believe what nonsense you just wrote? If you do then you must not understand the unmerited favor and Grace of God at all!
You believe in Jesus the same way The followers of the deposed dictator of Iraq believed in him. You and 99% of Christendom believe in Jesus under threat of punishment if you do not believe. You see Keith it is only when the threat of punishment for not believing is removed that you will know for sure what you do believe.
And on another note you asked Bruced how could he know that everyones faith will fail at some time. I have a question for you? Have you ALWAYS believed and NEVER had any doubt? If you say yes then I would say you are not being honest. And if you have had doubts then your faith has failed and you need to embrace someones faith other than your own. Namely The Faith of Christ

Geo Here:
AMEN! Once again we AGREE!
Where we disagree is how did we get into Christ?
According to Paul we got into Christ on the Cross. When he said that Jesus took both Jew (believer) and Gentile (unbeliever) into His body thus making Believer (Jew) and Unbeliever (Gentile) one NEW MAN
It was Jesus who drew ALL peoples into His body on the Cross and not your belief with did it.
- laymond said...
You are right I can't accept your explanation of the Narrow Gate, the way you explain it there is no need for a comparison, of the two, the following is my description of the Narrow Gate.
Jn:14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
all other ways are the wide gate to destruction.
- Bold Grace said...
Laymond Wrote:
all other ways are the wide gate to destruction.
Geo Here:
AMEN I Agree!
The ONLY other way to the Kingdom is WIDE!
It is The Law and following Moses instead of Jesus and Grace!
Following the Law and Moses is a VERY VERY WIDE Gate (over 600 laws and rules) The Narrow Gate is indeed NARROW (Only one thing GRACE)
Wide to DESTRUCTION = 600+ Laws
Narrow to LIFE = GRACE
You can continue to follow your or should I say the way of Moses (law) and it will lead to your destruction and to the destruction of all you come in contact with or you can choose the Narrow Path that leads to Life GRACE. When you come to Grace apart from your performance then you will have life and have it more abundantly.
- Cliff said...
If your interpretation of the narrow and wide gate is correct then what you are essentially saying is Christ completely failed as a Savior. Do you REALLY believe that?
- Keith Brenton said...
Cliff, how do you come to such a conclusion? That is hyperbole at its most outrageous.
I did respond to your scriptures: "Of course you are right in saying that there is no one that God does not love. But that does not mean that there is no one that God will not save. Why? Because He says otherwise, and His reasons are His own." The scriptures you cite only tell half the story.
Did any of you who disagree with me respond to even one of mine?
Do I have an open mind? Yes, to what scripture says. All of scripture. Even the parts which ask a response of me.
Will I fail? Doubtless I will. Will my faith in God fail? Possibly. That's called "doubt." Paul doubted that he could do it all right all the time. Jesus doubted in the Garden, if I read His prayer accurately. Point is, God does not require perfect faith - and the words you're putting in my pixels here say that He does. He does, however, ask for a response of faith. And when we are willing to give it, He is willing to work with and through us.
How can we just ignore that request?
I have accepted the fact that He loves me. Period.
I just can't let it go at that and NOT respond in the way He has asked.
Geo, you make a lot of fine distinctions to validate your system - between redemption and salvation; between faith and "accepting;" between heart, mind, soul and strength - but scripture does not make them. God redeems and saves through Jesus; He wants us to love Him with heart, mind, soul and strength.
Do any of you have children?
Do you require the minutest adherence to everything you ask them to do in order for them to remain a part of your family?
Of course you wouldn't. Neither would God. But you would ask them to do their best, to let you help them when they need it. That's what God the Father does, too. What He asks is tiny in comparison to what He has accomplished in Christ, yes.
But He still asks, so that we have the gift of choosing and the opportunity of participating in our relationship with Him.
You write as if that is some sort of crushing burden under which no one could stand or survive. If He hadn't created us equipped for the task of choosing, there would not have been Eden, and He would not give us the gift of faith to be able to.
Scripture still says, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."

geo, fill me in , what did Jesus say the scriptures were?

Are you doing the will of the Father. I know of only one who did and his name is Jesus. Jesus entered the Kingdom as a man who did the complete will of the Father and he has brought all of us with him. "If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me."

This is where I get off the bus, folks.
I have no interest in a conversation about picking and choosing which scripture is "really" scripture.
I have no interest in wresting it to my own destruction.
I have no faith in a faithless faith.
Have a nice conversation now.
But include me out.

Understood. But could you at least answer that question? Do you believe "The Scriptures" are more than what Jesus said they were?

By the way that is a YES or NO Question.

Keith, you said "What He asks is tiny in comparison to what He has accomplished in Christ, yes."
What exactly does God ask to be in his family?

Veterinary Practice Management Program
The Veterinary Practice Management Program (VPMP) is designed for veterinarians, veterinary practice technicians, and the practice team manager with business decision-making responsibility that seeks improved profitability, a competitive advantage, and long-term success. The program supersedes the Veterinary Management Institute (VMI), which was conducted by Krannert faculty in collaboration with AAHA for more than 20 years. The new collaboration between Krannert and the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine incorporates the strengths that were part of VMI, but targets a broader range of veterinary professionals and fosters more networking and interaction between colleagues, program faculty and alumni.
VPMP Program Overview
The need for professional advancement in the face of accelerating change has long been an accepted fact of the medical/scientific community. This is particularly true for the practicing veterinarian. In this economy, veterinary professionals will face an increasingly competitive business environment brought on by new and expensive advances in surgical equipment, medical treatments, computer and communication technology, and the progression of corporate ownership, practice consolidations, and pet superstores. As a consequence, veterinarians who lack a broad-based understanding of business will find the economic viability of their practices challenged.
To help meet those challenges, the Veterinary Practice Management Program has been developed by Purdue's Krannert School of Management and College of Veterinary Medicine. It is an intensive, four-module, management education program offering graduate-level instruction on core management issues. The program is held at Purdue University's West Lafayette, Indiana, campus and offers an exciting, academically stimulating course of study. Courses draw upon the faculty and resources of Purdue University's Krannert Graduate School of Management as well as guest faculty selected for their academic credentials and experience in management.
Who should attend?
Veterinarians, veterinary technicians, practice manager, and veterinary students. There are significant benefits from having two people from one practice attend the program. Attendees are better equipped to develop a more in-depth plan to help their business side of animal care practice.
Participants should follow the four program modules offered in this order: Human Resource Management, Accounting and Financial Management, Marketing, and Strategic Thinking. This is important since during the later modules, participants will have opportunities to interact with faculty from previous modules and discuss progress in implementing the new ideas developed during the program.
Information session webinars
The information session webinars introduce the four modules of the program, explain the cohort approach, present our alumni impressions, and answer your questions.

"If we align it with thinking, it will be driven by thinking. If we align it with clarity, it will be at peace".
It is not about wrong, it is about the care of holding on/striving to find a right description, which then turn in suffering and not care free. Clarity has no any holding on I guess. While then, I suppose when care free is, there is not so easy a description. The teaching of the Paramitas are then showing how without focus on subject-action-object leads mind to carefree.
Mind can bind or mind can free itself.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: How Can I Be a Better Teacher Next Fall?May 9, 2013 | Dr. Richard Curwin
I love May. The weather is as close to perfect as it will be all year in most parts of the country. The songbirds have returned to sing to us. My favorite sport, baseball, is in full swing. And best of all, May is both my birthday month and my sister's. And for educators, the arrival of May means that the end of the school year is closing in.
Sure, there is a lot to do this time year, and students have started counting down the hours left before vacation -- and for many teachers, we are counting down the days. In my view, this is the best time for reflection about what we can do to make next year even better than this year. We have a lot of information available to us, and we still have access to what we learn from our students, which is not possible once they are gone for the summer. Following are some of my favorite self-reflection strategies. They are different from the traditional devices used by schools to evaluate your performance, because they are designed to give you a different type of insight -- one that can help you change.
1. Be in a Frame of Mind to Change
I need to lose weight, and I've developed a strategy to do so. I buy exercise videos, and I watch them. Sometimes I eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream while watching the videos, and think, "That's a good one," or "That one's not for me." Needless to say, this plan has a few flaws. Every reader of this post wants to change something about him- or herself and has trouble doing it. Examples abound, ranging from a desire to get better organized or spend more time with spouse, children, parents and friends, to getting in shape, reading more or solving a problem with a particular student. Very few things in life are more difficult to do than changing ourselves, even when we want to. Self-help books that purport to make us better are always among the best sellers. People who successfully change themselves are those who find a readiness within that has very little to do with will power. We change when are ready -- intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. To change the way we teach, to improve it, requires the same kind of readiness. We stop listening to all the reasons why we can't change and start believing that we can. Once you feel ready, try the following. They are fun, revealing and helpful to those who can look themselves in the mirror without defensiveness and excuses. All can be used with students of any grade, with language and modifications for those too young to write complex thought.
2. Prepare a Master List
All of the next suggestions begin with building a master list. It has four categories:
A. Major things you will definitely do
B. Minor changes you will make
C. Major things you will never do
D. Minor things you will never do
3. Student Essays
These essays can be in discussion form for the younger grades and in writing for older students. The topic is: "If you were the teacher in this class this year, what would you do the same or differently than I did? You don't need to sign your names." Explain to the students that you are serious and won't consider silly things like a rule that allows students not to come to class. (This, of course, is not appropriate for experimental schools where attendance is optional.) Ask for honesty and seriousness. Add any items to the four categories of the master list that repeat in the various essays, or any item you particularly find appealing.
4. Five-Item Lists
Hand out 5x7 note cards to your students. On one side of the card, ask them to list five things that helped them learn during the year. On the other side, they'll write five things that made it hard for them to learn. No names are required. While they are doing this, take your own card and on each side write your predictions of what you think will be your students' most common answers. Later, compare the students' set with your predictions. See how accurate you were, and find items that give you ideas on how to improve your teaching. Add these items to your master list in the appropriate categories.
5. Student Role Plays
One of my favorite forms of feedback, yet also one of the scariest, is to divide the class into small groups and give them about 20 minutes to develop a role-play of their teacher -- you -- teaching a lesson. These are usually hilarious and full of fun for the whole class. They can also be very revealing; watching them can be like watching yourself on video. "Do I really do that?" you'll wonder. As you watch, add items to the four categories on your master list.
6. Finalize Your Master List
If you have done any or all of these activities, your master list will be full of ideas for each section. Now it's time to prioritize your lists and cull them into a manageable number of items. I suggest two majors and three to five minors. That means two major items that you want to be sure you'll do again next year, two major changes from the way you taught this past year, and a few minor but important things to improve. Your final conclusions won't be like a formal school-wide evaluation process, but they will give you the chance to change. Most teachers are excited to try these techniques -- but never forget how difficult change can be.
And don't forget that it's May. I hope you love this month as much as I do.

This was a very insightful
This was a very insightful and thoughtful post. As a preservice teacher I have always felt the tremendous value of reflection. But what I most enjoyed was how you focused the reflection on time of year and specific ideas to think about when reflecting.
Right Frame of Mind!! As a
Right Frame of Mind!!
As a first year teacher, my frame of mind was all over the place. It wasn't always positive. For my second year, I will put forth every effort to walk inside those school doors with a positive attitude. I am working on a positive declaration that I will read daily. I also like the role play activity. As my students are imitating me, I think it is only fair, that I imitate them. This could be a learning experience for us all.
I will remember this for next
I will remember this for next year with my students. Our current school year is over now but I plan on using some of these ideas especially the role playing. My students already do this some on their own in our home living center. I caught them acting like me when playing teacher. It is a good self assessment as I hear them act like me. I plan on printing this out for my colleagues to read to gain ideas as I did. Thanks for sharing!
Happy Birthday--whenever it was
Opening up for feedback from kids is probably the most efficient way to improve, because we care most about the kids. Honesty is good. If it helps them, we will try to change. If it's in a teacher eval--maybe not.
While attempting to promote improvement or change (even with myself) I ask, 'How long will it take me to do that?' Like exercise. If I know I can walk, jog, shuffle a mile around the neighborhood in 15 minutes--I'll do that because it's only 15 minutes. Then I can go back to my sedentary lifestyle for awhile until the next installment of moving, clutter organizing, errands, etc. Behavior modification is always progressive--especially when I use it on myself.
never be scared of the mirrow, face them and comb your hair ;)
I might do the role play one, I think is going to be fun but it is a bit scary, hope they are not too mean jeje, if they are I might need it, to change many thing. Ready for the change step by step
Great one really i appreciate
Great one really i appreciate you work , I would show this to all the teachers and every one associate with Arts & Learning Conservatory based In Santa Ana, CA providing arts programs specially designed to prepare students for success with art skills needed to succeed in the 21st century to get better results.
Student feedback
May in Australia is your Fall in the Northern Hemisphere. We have had a very dry and warm beginning with a major fire here, then drenching rain, certainly a season of contrasts!
At the end of each class (they are held weekly with adult students) we have a reflection time when students write their feelings about the class, and it is just between them and me. I respond. They can write answers to the questions I pose, or not. I accept anything... drawings, poetry, lyrics of songs, it is really free writing and I have learnt so much. At the end of the course, they write what has worked for them and what hasn't. By this time, they trust that there will be no judgement and they are very honest!
Rick stretches all of us.
Rick stretches all of us. His ideas, hit us where we need to be nudged forward.
he doesn't preach. he truly teaches.
congratulations. change is worth fighting for, oh yeah.

Was watching YouTube this morning when my Wi-Fi dropped out. I haven't been able to detect a network since. I just get the little spinning symbol for a few seconds then nothing. The iPhone is hardware unlocked. I have restored in iTunes to see if that would help, but no. I have also taken apart the phone to look for a disconnected or severed cable, but also no.
Any ideas?

Summary of Casanova Summary of Casanova Reviews for Casanova An Excerpt from Casanova
"A sheer testament to the power of the written word." (The New York Times)
Giacomo Casanova's energy was dazzling. He made and lost fortunes, founded state lotteries, and wrote forty-two books and 3,600 pages of memoirs recording the tastes and smells of the years before the French Revolution-as well as his affairs and sexual encounters with dozens of women and a handful of men.
Historian Ian Kelly draws on previously unpublished documents from the Venetian Inquisition, and documents by Casanova and his friends and lovers, which give new insights into his life and world. Kelly's research spans eighteenth-century Venice, Paris, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Rome, Prague, and the Czech castle where Casanova lived, wrote, and died.
From his devotion to kabbalah to his collaboration with Mozart and librettist Da Ponte on the opera Don Giovanni, from his vast appetite for food and sex to his training for the priesthood, Casanova reveled in the commedia dell'arte. And, as Kelly posits, it is from Casanova's careful study of its artifice and illusion that his success as both a libertine and a libertarian was founded.

Was easy to install and I had it up and running in a matter of minutes. Within a couple hours I had completely filled my 20 gallon RO reservoir. Great product and will purchase again. A must have for everyone By Matt on 4/12/14 Matt would recommend this product to a friend Every one needs one a must have for everyone it's simple to use one of the best thing I have bought for my reef tank! Nice System for teh price By Toppcat on 4/11/14 Toppcat would recommend this product to a friend After many years of being in the hobby and upgrading to 180 gallon tank this was a must have. Very well made product. I didn't give this 5 stars due to the issue of the Auto shut-off unit on the top of the RO system missing a tube connection to the blue line-out. This was missed in the setup of the product, but easy to remedy. love this ro/di unit By don on 4/6/14 don would recommend this product to a friend i have had this unit for 3 months now and it works great don't know how i got along with out it everyone should have one Great RO/DI unit By Dave on 4/3/14 Dave would recommend this product to a friend Well made and very functional , very easy to set up. i use it about 3 times a week and have not had any issues with it. Great product for the money, i would recommended it to anyone, Great ro unit By Eli on 4/3/14 Eli would recommend this product to a friend I hooked this up in my basement a couple weeks ago. BRS did a great job. I shopped around for a while for a decent ro unit and the value of this unit can't be beat. Highly recommend getting the plus version! Works Great! By caraway on 4/2/14 caraway would recommend this product to a friend This RO unit replaced one I have had for over 15 years. Easy setup and is making lots of RO water. great unit By Jon on 4/1/14 Jon would recommend this product to a friend Very well made, and easy to use/ setup. I give it 4 stars because the inlet and outlet lines sweat a lot and drips water on floor. Other than that a great unit and would not think twice about buying again. great value By matt on 3/22/14 matt would recommend this product to a friend This is a quality unit, "plug and play" out of the box, you wont be disappointed. Nice unit By James on 3/19/14 James would recommend this product to a friend The best thing I added to my system. I got tired of hauling RO from the store and saved money in the long run. Must have. By Arthur on 3/19/14 Arthur would recommend this product to a friend This is an absolute must have for any and all reefers. Top off water, water changes, it's hard to imagine reefing before I owned this. Don't think twice about getting this product. well made and reliable By Stephen on 3/17/14 Stephen would recommend this product to a friend This system is very well made and has worked exactly as expected for the past year. Given the price point, it is difficult to imagine hauling water from the LFS! Awesome product By Judith on 3/17/14 Judith would recommend this product to a friend Very easy to set up. Solid construction. Great product. No more hauling water containers across town to the lfs. These guys got it together. By Sean on 3/15/14 Sean would recommend this product to a friend I'm a newbie to the hobby. This has been the easiest thing I've done to my set up so far. Plug and play. Ran it for 24 hrs and began to fill 110 DT and 55 fuge. Best part no leaks. Glad I got the valve plus, TSS meter and valve flush system. Nice System! By Nil on 3/14/14 Nil would recommend this product to a friend Works just as good as any other product from BRS. I wish BRS could add float valve with the plus system. I had to buy that separately after spilling the water. I suggest spending another $11 and buying both at the same time, it's worth it. System works as expected. works great!!! By reef geek on 3/14/14 reef geek would recommend this product to a friend this ro unit from bulk reef supply is awesome pumps out more than enough water for my holding tanks and auto top off and have had it for almost a year now and still is putting out 0 TDS and the price aint to shabby either! Great Product By Gary on 3/14/14 Gary would recommend this product to a friend Well made and and very sturdy. Performs just as it should and a good deal for the money. Very Solid RO/DI Unit By Adam on 3/14/14 Adam would recommend this product to a friend This is a great RO/DI unit. Has everything you need to produce RO/DI. I have a water pressure issue so I also added a pump for this and the combo works perfect. I highly recommend this product. Perfect. By Jake on 3/13/14 Jake would recommend this product to a friend This system is awesome! It is well built, sturdy, and very functional. I use it almost every single day and have not had a single issue with it! It's such a cool reefing tool that everyone needs. Great Product By Victor on 3/11/14 Victor would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this unit about six months ago, and I am glad I did, unit was easy to setup, makes water pretty fast (water Pressure is high in my area) and 0 TDS TERRIFIC UNIT, EASY INSTALL By Westiegl on 3/10/14 Westiegl would recommend this product to a friend I have been struggling along with tap water for the past several years because I thought installing a RO/DI unit would be difficult and costly. Finally the constant algae issues drove me to finally make the purchase. I am now kicking myself that I did not purchase this unit sooner. The set up took literally 5 minutes, just hooked it up to my laundry room utility sink faucet and dropped the waste water line into the washing machine so we don't even waste the discharge water (which I had been feeling guilty about). Looks great and very easy to use. Definitely get the value pack upgrade with the TDS meter and pressure gauge. Totally worth it. Thanks BRS. a must for a reefer By Tyler on 3/10/14 Tyler would recommend this product to a friend 100% satisfied with my choice in ro/di units. BRS took all the hassle out of having to worry about making sure it's setup properly. This was my biggest concern since this is my first ro/di unit. The tds meter is awesome and allows you to be sure you have clean water and tge Guage will help remind when to change filters. Thanks BRS hopefully when I get to upgrade to the 300g display in thefuture the first thing II'll be getting isa larger unit from you guys Great Product, very well built By Crewsfish on 3/8/14 Crewsfish would recommend this product to a friend I decided to move up and start making my own RODI water vs transporting from LFS. This was super simple to connect - I was all assembled and well packaged when I received. Now I have two 32 gallon brute cans. One for RODI and one for Salt Water mixed. I choose the 4 stage value plus because of free shipping once you hit $175. I only added a filter sock to get my total at 175. A better deal than the 4 stage value (without the flush kit and pressure gauge, because you pay for shipping. RO/DI SYSTEM By James on 3/7/14 James would recommend this product to a friend This is an awesome system makes 0 TDS water right out of the box way to go BRS u outdid yourself on this set-up and man what an awesome price!!!!! Excellent Product By JerSaint on 3/7/14 JerSaint would recommend this product to a friend Quick delivery easy setup and overall a great product! Very well built! By Scooter on 3/5/14 Scooter would recommend this product to a friend Awesome product. The tds meter and the pressure gauge are a must have. Spend the extra money and purchase a unit that has these gizmos installed. Quality built, top shelf ro/di units. Worth every Pennie. Thanks BRS! easy set-up By ryan on 3/3/14 ryan would recommend this product to a friend great product and easy to use excellent By gbr on 2/28/14 gbr would recommend this product to a friend Easy to set up and use. Great ro/di unit. Awesome! By Bageezus on 2/28/14 Bageezus would recommend this product to a friend I love this unit. I almost picked up the standard addition and I am so glad I did not. The pressure gauge and tds meter make everything so much easier. Great RO/DI. Great value, great price! By Xavi on 2/26/14 Xavi would recommend this product to a friend After using only a tap water filter for two years and having constant algae problems I finally bought a RO/DI. Easy to use. My algae problems are starting to clear up. Great first ro/di system.... By JEFF on 2/26/14 JEFF would recommend this product to a friend This is my first ro/di system and for the money, I don't think any other company can beat the quality and value of this one. Easy to set up and use. I mounted mine in my garage above my washing machine. I purchased a y fitting to split the water connection between my washer and the ro system. Connected the red line to the y fitting using the included hose bib connector. Black line went to the washer waste pipe. Couldn't be easier. Also, the inline TDS meter makes it easy to monitor your filters and the water quality coming out. Thanks BRS.. hands down best rodi unit ive used By swede1988 on 2/24/14 swede1988 would recommend this product to a friend This unit works great! It does what its suppose to do. It looks good and comes with great upgrades. Hands down best unit I've used. Excellent Unit at a Great Price By Britt on 2/21/14 Britt would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this unit about a week ago and so far I am very impressed. The unit came well packaged and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. It was very simple to hook up and produces 0 TDS water. I'm looking forward to seeing how it will perform once I start filling up my new 210 gallon tank. I would highly recommend BRS and this product to anyone. Excellent ro/di unit! Arrived quickly and well packaged! By FishysPlace on 2/19/14 FishysPlace would recommend this product to a friend I purchased my rodi unit in April of 2013. That's when I began my saltwater addiction. Lol. I ordered the unit based on lots of research in many forums and threads to find the "right" unit for me. My unit arrived well packaged and very promptly! I think I ordered on a Monday morning and got it by Wednesday evening! It was way faster then I expected. It's pretty big if you've never owned a filtration unit but it fits under the kitchen sink! The connections worked easily with my current (outdated) faucet. My water is around 80 psi and I let the filter run for about 30 mins before I began filling my 10 gallon. Well, it took a while before the filter got "wore" in but now I think I can get a gallon in about 10-15 mins. I am about to move into a new home and I already have a 75 gallon tank ready to get cycled as soon as I can move in! I have processed over 150+ gallons and my di- resin is about 1/4-1/3 brown/discolored. I wanted to wait to review this product until after some long term usage. BRS has excellent customer service! Don't be afraid to call them as they will take the time to answer your questions/concerns! Best RODI By Bradley on 2/16/14 Bradley would recommend this product to a friend I have had this unit for over a year now and am very pleased with the performance of it. Can't say enough about this unit and BRS. Just a few weeks ago I was changing the sediment filter out and ended up braking the nipple that connects the canisters together at 2:30 a.m. In the morning, after emailing BRS about it they emailed me back first thing in the morning and explained that this was not under warranty since it was a year old, but they were still going to send me a replacement nipple for free...... WOW! This surprised me because I really didn't ask for them to replace it but rather just what I needed and if they sold that part ( I couldn't find it at first) this is what I have come to expect from BRS because they are such a outstanding company! Great unit, simple install By Paul on 2/16/14 Paul would recommend this product to a friend Great unit. It was a simple install. There was no leaks from the factory. I didn't read the TDS coming out of the wall, but post RO it hovered around 4-6 TDS and post DI, it read 0. Looking forward to now using nice RODI water instead of conditioned tap water. I do suggest purchasing the tube cutter recomend. You will need to purchase other plumbing parts to integrated this system, Everything the hubby wanted By Shannon on 2/15/14 Shannon would recommend this product to a friend This was a birthday gift for my husband. It took a few days longer than what seems to be the norm, to get here, but that was due to the winter storm, I'm sure. It did get here the day before his birthday. Whew! As I know little about these, I will say that my husband LOVES it. It was, and has, everything he wanted in a RODI system. He has it all ready to go in the laundry room. Waste water dispenses through the drain. It produced much faster than we both expected. What I DO know is "packaging". The packaging was impressive. I have NEVER ordered anything online so well-packaged, and put together! It was practically ready to go, out of the box! Thank you, for making me a hero! Lol. I know it's early, yet, but I will give it five stars, at this time! :) Great product for the price By Tyler on 2/12/14 Tyler would recommend this product to a friend Works great, easy to attach to the sink and take off as needed Plug & Play By mailman1 on 2/12/14 mailman1 would recommend this product to a friend Easy set up. Had it running in no time. A plug and play system. Great By reddog on 2/11/14 reddog would recommend this product to a friend This RODI system is great! I had a broken nipple between chambers 2 and 3 when I first installed it but BRS sent me a new one with no questions asked. Things like that happen sometimes. Tech support has been amazing. My TDS was only 1ppm to begin with but it's definitely 0ppm going out. I mounted this in my laundry room. I put a Y connector on the cold water line splitting off of the washing machine connection. I also put the waste water line down the waste water tube for the washing machine. I mounted it about chest level on the wall to the right of my washer. I have a 40 gallon square rubbermaid container that the water flows into. I mounted a surge strip on the wall which plugs into a GFCI protected outlet. I put a powerhead, aerator, and heater on this power strip. I turn on the water on Wednesday's after work, turn on the power strip before I go to bed and turn off the water Thursday after work. I then pump this water into another container using a powerhead (I added an in-line switch) to make saltwater. I mix my salt with my RODI water, check my salinity, put in a powerhead/aerator/heater and let it sit overnight. Then on Friday (the next day) I do my water change after work. I'm about to start pumping the water to the tank from the same room as I make it in. That should make life easier. Right now I roll a 28gal rubbermaid container to the tank and pump it in that way. I also siphon the old water outside using a python siphon hose. I just ordered another python and a 1000GPH pond pump to pump the water from the laundry room to the reef tank. Great deal By WING on 2/10/14 WING would recommend this product to a friend Set up without effort. Highly recommended. Great system for the price By Phil on 2/8/14 Phil would recommend this product to a friend This is a great system for the price since you get everything you need to make RO/DI. Setup is practically plug and play unless you need to buy an adapter from your local hardware store to make it fit your sink. Soon I'll be upgrading to the 150gpd water saver kit to reduce my waste water. Nice unit here By Doug on 2/8/14 Doug would recommend this product to a friend Well made and works great. Nice System By Greg on 1/31/14 Greg would recommend this product to a friend Like a lot of folks I researched the different brands and BRS seemed to be the most consistently higher rated. The price for features on this one was good so I had it shipped up here to Canada. Arrived with a broken plastic connector between the first 2 canisters (sounds like a common shipping problem after reading other reviews). BRS sent me a pair of replacement connecters right away with no hassle. After starting it up I found I had to tighten most of the water lines and one of the canisters as they leaked under pressure, but that's a minor thing, and I should have done it in the first place. Has been running great since then, very simple to setup and run. All the water testing I have done shows perfect and all my shrimp breeding tanks are doing much much better using this RO/DI water. Great Value By Steve on 1/26/14 Steve would recommend this product to a friend BRS did a great job on this RO/DI system. I looked at a handful of other competitors (the filter guys, ispring, and buckeye) and it seemed this system was the best overall value and the easiest to setup. I gave this 4 stars because the hookups packaged in the system were only for temporary installations. It took some work on my side and a trip to the local hardware store to figure out how address a permanent, under-sink installation. Other than that minor inconvenience, this is a flawless system at a great price! Thanks BRS! Worth it By Chris on 1/20/14 Chris would recommend this product to a friend I talked myself into this system over the base model. I figured I'd eventually add the tds and pressure gauge anyways. When it arrived, the plastic fitting between the first 2 filters was broken, probably due to the shipping. Instead of going thru the return process, I just picked up a heavy duty fitting at the local store for $2 and fixed it myself. I'm using this to provide water for my 155g bow front. This is my first time using rodi so I hope the benefits are worth the money and the time. Quality of the product and ease of use is great. I recommend this system. Pretty Decent Machine with user friendly flaws By Jamie on 1/15/14 Jamie would recommend this product to a friend Seems like a decent machine. Easy to hook-up. Mine came in DOA and sprayed water everywhere. Seems like they would have a system in place test the plumbing somehow before sending to customer. They were great about sending me out a a elbow to fix the problem, but you would think the tech person would have know to ask me to unscrew the elbow and see if there was a missing o ring or if it was sitting in there properly. I did not know anything about the machine and how it worked, but if he would have simply told me to do that I could have fixed the problem immediately instead of having to wait for the part to come in. There was a o-ring in there and not installed properly, would have been an easy fix. Another downfall is that I thought I was going to get about 1200 gallons before replacing anything, come to find out that does not include the DI resin. I only made 75 gallons and mine expired, I was disappointed that I had to stop making water and order DI resin to finish the job. Another flaw is there need to be open & close in-line valves on all 3 lines. People like me have to unhook & store until next use. I tried getting the water out of the lines and was displeased that there was no easy way to roll up the lines and shut the line off to keep left over water from dripping out...I had water all over the place trying to situate the lines and it still leaked all over the floor where I was storing it. I would say if these issues were resolved I would give it a 5. Best RO/DI unit for the value By Vince on 1/14/14 Vince would recommend this product to a friend I was shocked when I saw this unit go on sale for black Friday for $129.99 I jumped on it and never looked back. I want to give a super detailed review on this to give anyone who may be considering it perfect proof this is the unit to get. First off when it arrived it was packaged in a heavy box with tons of packing peanuts and the whole unit was super well wrapped in heavy bubble wrap. opening it was the coolest thing. Everything was installed on it already. Nothing was overlooked including the fittings to fit onto a standard sink faucet. Component wise it has each stage marked with the correct filter / media to put in each spot making it super easy not to mess it up for beginners. It comes with a lot of tubing, you could easily run the unit 15 feet from where you have it connected. The push connect fittings are very well made and looks great no leaks. Now for the cool parts for me were the dual inline TDS meter, the RO membrane backflush kit and the air filled pressure gauge. These are more important that most people would think. The membrane flush kit makes it SUPER easy on the fly to backflush the RO membrane which is important to keeping it clean and running it's full 75GPD. Next is the gauge, this is important in monitoring the pressure to make sure your making as little waste water as possible and keeping this filter running at optimal pressure.. (NOTE running this on the second story of your house will result in lower pressure reading. ) Now the dual TDS meter is amazing. I mean what is the sense of an RO/DI if it's not giving you 0 TDS water. It tests the water coming out of the RO membrane and also the water coming out of the DI resin, Makes it easy to know what needs to be replaced when the time comes. Last but not least the DI resin, it's color changing super easy to know when to change. With ~12TDS coming out at my RO the DI resin takes it down to 0 TDS and I have made ~ 70Gallons of water and the DI is maybe 1/3 depleted . If you need a unit to perform better I would suggest adding an extra sediment filter of smaller diameter to the mix to read a lower TDS out of the RO so less depletion of the resin, The resin is also super affordable. I love this product! Write Your Own Review You're reviewing: BRS 4 Stage Value PLUS RO/DI System - 75GPD *How do you rate this product? *Would you recommend this product to a friend?
