Thank you for your reply. You have a good heart, and are trying to communicate positively, but your misspellings and fragments are not easy for me to decipher. Would you consider rereading what you just wrote and edit it appropriately? Would you also consider rereading/editing all of your...

Thank you for posting this question, and thanks to all of the good answers given so far. We should not be shy about telling others we try to live by the two great commandments, Love God and Love Your Neighbor. We should not be shy to say that one of the characteristics of Love Your Neighbor is...

Thank you all for your posts. So: we should not question God if He decides eternal torture is a just punishment? This sounds like God in Job, who decides it is Ok to test Job’s faith, but when Job asks, Why, He resorts to Who are you to question me. This is God resembling a Mafia godfather...

Thank you for posting one of my favorite scripture passages. Note that of the six ways we are to help others (and yes, per Cyd, this is an individual responsibility) the first five are fundamental life-supporting actions, but the sixth commands us to carry out prison ministry—to give hope to...

Thank you for your post. If a round million dollars (after taxes) dropped into your lap, what would you do with it? Blessings.

Thank you for reaching out. One question is, “Where does one find young women with beliefs similar to mine?” Possibilities: by attending churches and participating in their mission work. Also, charities in your area. So: look for opportunities in charity work you will also enjoy and find...

Thank you for your post. On the one hand: it makes sense for any congregation to have members raise concerns within the congregation, rather than publicly. In principle, however, this church should have procedures dealing with and correcting internal abuses (Matthew 18:15-17). On the other...

Thank you for your post and questions regarding Romans 2:14-16 and the Apostle Paul’s reference to the ”law.” To understand this passage (which, by the way, can be said of many of the world’s indigenous peoples) it helps to remember that Jesus told us that (regarding the two great commandments)...

Thank you for sharing. Interestingly: This is Habit 7 of Covey’s “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People”. https://www.franklincovey.com/the-7-habits/ Blessings.

Thank you for your provocative post! What do think happens to those who have denied God? Also: If they have denied God AND broken Love Thy Neighbor in all conceivable ways? Blessings.

Thank you for your response. There is a saying, “If you would be understood, first seek to understand,” to which one might add, “Before you condemn, please, first seek to understand.” https://www.britannica.com/biography/Isaac-of-Nineveh Peace.

Thank you for asking. The rules for each of the forums are posted therein. As to the Prayer Form, it is not intended for debates. Also, there is one topic totally off limits in all forums: The Trinity. Hope this helps. Blessings.

Thank you for sharing! While not a fan of mysticism, I agree with his belief in God’s encompassing love. He is the type of person with whom I would enjoy breaking bread. Blessings.

Thank you for your book idea. Besides the entertainment value, the book might also encourage each of us to look in the mirror, perhaps in horror, at our own annoying habits. It might also be good for the Annoying One to embark on a spiritual journey of betterment, the end goal being Love Your...

Thank you for your good work. Regarding your nation, Myanmar: There is much to be learned by reading about people all over the world, especially their history and culture. Although there are many different cultures throughout Southeast Asia, the best communities practice Love Thy Neighbor...

Thank you for the question. No, I am not a pastor: just one of His messengers (or so it would appear). We might guess that life as a Christian in Myanmar is a special challenge. Are you free to spread the gospel? Blessings.

Welcome!! This forum does pride itself on intelligent discussions of God’s word, and is happy to answer questions about scripture. We hope your hopes will be fulfilled. Blessings.

Thanks for the reference. The sentence continues with what the CDC concluded was an acceptable substitute: “in vitro transcribed full length RNA . . . .” Not being a microbiologist, I cannot say if this is a show-stopper or not. On the other hand, we know that the reported data were skewed...

Thanks to all for your perspectives. On the other hand: There are some Christians who state that “faith” is a verb! Here is one link: Faith is a Verb, not a Noun - Reflections on John 3:14-21 But if you don’t care to click on this link, they are easy to find yourself by searching on “Is faith...
