    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    Analyzing scripture in this fashion is a whopper of a mistake. Genesis is NOT a history book. It wasn't given to us to know history even if it does contain history. It was given to us to understand God....and a bit about ourselves. God is NOT an allegory. Proceed at your own risk...

    Soups.plus homemade meals.

    So.... At a guess, curing out your own corned beef is out of the question? It's wonderful with horseradish sauce, boiled red potatoes, and buttered, steamed cabbage. I'm just today finishing the curing of a whole brisket I picked up on sale. Good for three roasts. (St. Patrick's day is...

    What is your best argument for the existence of God?

    Oh....forgot Evolution....somewhat. I touched it but didn't completely denounce it. We, as a planet with flora and fauna....are not evolving. We are devolving. (As is consistent with physical laws) We do not have the same number of plants and animals as this planet once had...

    What is your best argument for the existence of God?

    Where as you set up straw dog arguments and claim patently that they are all useless and worthless.... That's not exactly true. Intelligent design is a good argument....otherwise a tornado hitting a Home Depot and Lowes would spit out a few houses for a subdivision. But it goes even...

    Unbelievable, crazy spending by USAID... examples

    Generally speaking, In the past decades; every few months....someone in govt was discovered to be doing something illicit with Government tax dollars or interns or contractors. From House members of congress, Senators, governors, various department heads and etc. since the days of Bill...

    7 second test for a Christian narcissist

    Now y'all are gonna spoil all my fun. Narcissists have this shiny brass ring running through their nose that can make them go anywhere and do anything when pulled on. Then their fears and wants will make them do things as well. Kinda a reverse carrot and stick except using fear and pain...

    X-mas makes a mockery of Christ

    What if the Pagans are doing EXACTLY as the Early Church did....and all the finger waggers are wrong?

    X-mas makes a mockery of Christ

    There are Christmas Trees in Syria.....even during their latest bout of Civil War. They are the oldest location for celebrating Christmas. (Where the Early church went to and Disciples went) Those who claim its all wrong and everyone is doing things wrong are simply destroyers....they...

    Woke female "Bishop" targets Trump at national cathedral prayer service

    Here's what people are up against..... This has to be one of the most revolting things I've seen. https://x.com/MAGA__Patriot/status/1882472976924242062

    Woke female "Bishop" targets Trump at national cathedral prayer service

    I'm watching this story and others which are similar. Like the 60 billion dollar class action suit for the J6 crowd. And it's looking like it is time to stop commenting on anything political....regardless of your thoughts. Granted her view is extreme and not in line with scriptures. She...

    Trump to announce $500 billion investments in an AI supercomputer intelligence to be called Stargate.

    It's over three trillion now.....and expected to triple by the end of the week. That's a lot of dollars.

    HOW ARE WE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE?

    Of course we are the product of our parents and their parenting. Of course we should br grateful to God for the parents He provided us with....because through them or because of them we ran into the arms of our Heavenly Father. "Give unto Caesars what is Caesars". God is ultimately in...

    Trump ~ guilty

    Apparently, All the convictions are coming unraveled by admissions of phoney evidence.... The latest is a FISA warrant that was fraudulent and fraudulent evidence which led to the impeachment trial.

    HOW ARE WE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE?

    Ok.... Since you stepped into it.... And it's along the lines of the subject at hand. First some seemingly disconnected information but then I will connect it. 5th commandment key word here is "honor". Which the Hebrew word means "heavy" or burden as in give gravity or weight. Then there...

    Russia finds 500 billion barrels of oil in Antarctica,

    Russia does not need anymore oil.....it can't process and sell what it has now. Russia itself has more oil than the entire Middle East combined....always has. Getting it to market and processing it for profits has been their biggest issue for forever. So they found more in Brittish...

    HOW ARE WE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE?

    Like a modern rear view mirror. (Automobile) Flip it one way and it's light....a true reflection. Flip it at an angle and it's dark. No true reflection....but you can still tell what things are. Each person gets to choose how they reflect God. The ability is there but not necessarily...

    Traders and Investors

    Currently, An index fund is a smart move. We have a changing political structure....meaning that single stock investments are going to be very risky. We also have high inflation. Meaning the only thing to do is asset protection. Value stocks and commodities are going to do well...

    Has anyone tried pottery?

    Actually it probably is right inside your skillset if you were to try. Try searching "art classes" for your neighborhood. Or even "Art Supply Shops". They will know and support this stuff. Who doesn't get a thrill over playing in the mud and dirt?
