    Deconstruction Lite - (light?)

    Thank you for that observation. At least it is a market economy based on persuasion, and not force. “Yes, my beliefs are set, so don’t try to parade your scriptural knowledge to get me to change.” Peace and Many Blessings.

    Deconstruction Lite - (light?)

    Thank you for sharing. Regarding your question: yes. May God continue to lead you towards the light. He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 Peace.

    Letitia James caught in mortgage fraud? Looks as a compelling case.

    Thank you for the update. It appears the case is actually gaining traction. Dear Lord: remind me that schadenfreude is not one of the characteristics of Love Thy Neighbor. And speak to Attny. James of the healing that repentance brings. Thy will be done. Peace

    The curse of ignorance

    Thank for the discussion, and the opportunity to clarify important points about the relationship between God and all of humanity. Suppose we were in a forest with many different mushrooms visible. They look so good to eat. Fortunately, our Guide tells us which are nutritious and which are...

    The curse of ignorance

    Thank you for that thought, but it does not seem quite right. Did Eve and Adam disobey God out of ignorance? When God confronted their disobedience, did they try to deflect the blame out of ignorance? People today have been informed thoroughly that following God will lead to abundant life...

    The curse of ignorance

    Thank you for your post. You make many good points, and who among us would not prefer to exchange ignorance for factual truths about current events and our history. Unfortunately, our fallen nature is a stumbling block for many, who will rationalize holding fast to their beliefs despite...

    Re: Sexually Immoral

    Thank you for your reply. You might want to rethink your premise and conclusion, because it sounds like you have falsely accused your brother. 1 Peter 2: 13,14 is about obeying secular laws. Thus, if you want to be recognized as married in the eyes of the State, you must follow State law. But...

    Re: Sexually Immoral

    Thank you for your post. A number of details are missing in your narrative. Where in the Bible does it describe what constitutes a marriage before God? If they did not obtain a marriage license, it simply means the State does not recognized their marriage. So what? If they were married...

    What becomes of our faith if the Genesis account is NOT literal?

    Thank you for your post. The Bible, God’s word to us, explains God’s expectations for us and His promises to us. When you face Him, you can ask about all these troubling passages. In the meantime, it should be clear how He expects you to conduct your life. Did Adam and Eve exist? Yes, of...

    Hello people

    Welcome to the forum. We hope you find the range of discussions of “interest.” There are many who are deep experts and thinkers of scripture. You might also find some who are provocative, and who might test your faith and patience! Approach every discussion with love, and God will never let...

    What would you do if …

    Thank you for the discussion. Here is what Jesus had to say: Matthew 18: 15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every...

    UK seriously falling behind the G7 in productivity

    Thanks for the reference. Might take a while to read through it! But you (and he) are right about Rome’s culture, except that for the decline it only needed to be the ruling class to be morally bankrupt. Recall the Apostle Paul noting (Romans 2: 14,15) that the common people behaved as if the...

    So: What caused the fall of the Roman Empire (if it wasn’t Christianity)?

    The rationale given below is based on “Europe Between the Oceans,” by the eminent archaeologist Barry Cunliffe. However, he might not agree entirely with my thrust. The Roman Empire can be divided into three overlapping sectors: an economic sector (responsible for all goods and services), a...

    The Dire Wolf and Genetic Breeding

    Here is one of many links, but of course it might well be a hoax. https://www.livescience.com/animals/extinct-species/dire-wolves-are-back-from-extinction-thanks-to-genetically-engineered-pups Peace.

    The Dire Wolf and Genetic Breeding

    In the news we find that some scientists used extracted DNA to breed wolf pups resembling the extinct dire wolf. Surprise: there has been a lot of controversy about what has been accomplished and its purpose. For millennia, People working in animal husbandry have improved the characteristic of...

    UK seriously falling behind the G7 in productivity

    Thanks for the clarification. As I recall, Gibbon cast most of the blame on Christianity! How about a thread title “Was Christianity the Primary Cause of the Fall of the Roman Empire?” OK—if it were to be a debate, the title would need to be something like, “Resolved: Christianity did (did...

    UK seriously falling behind the G7 in productivity

    “If a society is working against God, they will always fail in fact !” Agreed.

    UK seriously falling behind the G7 in productivity

    Thank for your question and surmise. So: how much can the UK’s slower growth be attributable to this religion? Let’s rephrase the question to ask it of Muslim countries in general, as a search for root causes. A search for “Why Are Muslim Countries Poor” will yield as many “expert” answers...

    The happy thread was dead. Long live the happy thread!

    Working from home could be highly efficient, but for some jobs, you need to be at the place of action. Blessings.
