    Spiritual smells

    Seriously, I have heard tales of people being converted by smells. Twice I've heard of jews who converted because their synagogue smelt musty. Another time I heard of someone having an encounter with a smelly demon. I'm leaving this wide open to discussion.

    “There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand: the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a young woman. Proverbs 30:18‭-‬19 NIV What do I see here but four aspects to a...

    There has always been some hostility between Protestants and Catholics here on Christianity board, but within the last few months it has escalated to a point of dominating the discussions and created a toxic environment. Some members have devoted all of their efforts here to defending their...

    The Eternal Gospel

    Revelation 14:6-7 Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people. He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who...

    God's day off

    In the news are reports of groups boycotting work just to show the impact they have on society. I'm thinking specifically about the recent boycott by immigrants and women. Now if it were possible for God to do this in some limited way, what would happen? I believe the result would be...

    Your view on the US presidential election.

    A little narrative: Uncle Sam lays in his hospital bed, years of alcohol abuse has destroyed his liver and his days are numbered without a transplant. The doctor comes in and gives him more bad news, he also has cancer and his heart is 90 percent blocked. His advanced age and frailty make any...

    So-Callers

    I am irked by Christians referring to other Christians who disagree with their theology as "so-called" Christians. It has become the passive aggressive way of judging one-another. I may have done it before when referring to unorthodox beliefs, it is a cop-out. I would prefer if someone is...

    Spiritual timeline.

    I'm curious how others view the spiritual timeline of history. It appears to be asynchronous with with what happens in this world. Spiritual timeline may be a misnomer, as it assumes there is time in the spirit. However there do seem to be distinct ages. Such as before and after the...

    Let God be true and every man a liar

    Romans 3:4 "Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: "So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge." I want to say I appreciate the discussions here recently about the truth. See in the scripture above how when Paul was...

    A Muslim friend brought to my attention a Boycott against butterball turkeys because they were halal. The reasons for the boycott are bigotry in my opinion, but it got me thinking if there is a legit reason not to eat halal. I asked how it is performed and he says the person killing the...
