fake news

California; You only apply to the CA state board after you pass.......we are going to have a bunch of registered green engineers in like 2 years might not be such a good thing.

Yes they reuse questions, sometime word for word but most of the time reworded. However I don't see them reused in a noticeable way a lot. They use a lot of the same type of questions.

This is about my 17th (Yes I mean '17'TH') time taking this exam. The AM portion except for the code questions were a bit unexpected for me. I took almost the whole 4 hours to complete. The PM portion was easier for me. I was done about 45 minutes early. Haven't seen the battery stuff before on...

Are there free resources for these code books somewhere? Last time I took the test it was only on the NEC now we need another $1K in code books every few years....getting ridiculous.

Calvanisim or Perseverance of the Saints?

Once saved always saved is not the same as the perseverance of the saints that a Calvanist would believe. The Once saved always saved version of Calvanisim adds a work to salvation which is that if you dont have the works to show your faith then you are not saved or its not a true saving faith...

Um, back pedal much? You quoted calvanisim and told me God chooses who goes to heaven. Um....thats Calvanisim. And, yes you are unsaved if you are trusting in it.

Yes, the Bible does say that God is Love: (1 John 4:8-10) "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.Herein is love, not that we loved God, but...

The Bible doesn't say the lack of money is the root of all evil, but (1 Tim 6:10) "For the love of money is the root of all evil". It dosn't mean you can't be rich or have a lot of wealth. It means a constant pursuit to gain wealth and/or riches or trusting in your riches. Abraham was wealthy...

Yes, you can show your faith through your works. The issue is saying that the works will be there. The works do not have to be there and they will only be there if you chose to do them. Has nothing to do with whether or not your saved. That is the issue. Jesus himself said: John 14:15 "If ye...
