Although the bible doesn't specifically say so, I think there are plenty of hints that they do. Do our pets go to heaven? Do our pets go to heaven?

I've now had both doses. "Without question" is not exactly my position, but I don't regard taking the vaccine as a gamble. The benefits greatly outweigh the risks, so it's NOT taking the vaccine that's the gamble.

It wasn't a "rule of Scripture". That just happened to be the culture at the time. Couples didn't 'date'; marriages were arranged. The betrothal was a binding contract, as binding as the actual marriage, and if the families decided they didn't want to go ahead then the couple had to divorce.

At school, children have to learn a wide range of subjects - whether or not they are interested in them, or have any aptitude. That's one reason why lots of children don't like school. But when you go to college or university you get to choose what you study - which makes it a completely...

Ideally when leaving a church one should go with the good will of the leadership and membership. But I've never heard of it being formalised quite like this. When we moved house 3 years ago, we were presented with a gift during the last morning service we attended at our old church. I suppose...

Sin shouldn't be defined simply as "something that hurts other people". That's the world's definition of sin. But we know that sin is also an offence against God. It includes things that harm other people, but there's a lot more to it than that. Sin can - and does - happen inside our heads, as...

This may not apply to your particular vehicle, but if the car you're driving is fitted with an airbag and you're NOT wearing a seatbelt when you crash, your injuries will likely be fatal even in a minor crash - because the airbag design assumes that you will be wearing a seatbelt. Another...

We disagree on what constitutes a "fact", don't we! The new vaccines are not "bogus" in anyone's eyes but your own, because you have a quirky personal definition of "vaccine". Both my husband and I have now had the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, and we are fine thankyou.

Polio is almost eradicated, but there are still a few areas in the Middle East where cases are occurring - largely because the people there are suspicious of vaccines....

The only virus that we've ever managed to get rid of completely is smallpox. All other viruses we have to live with; vaccines make life much less risky without completely eradicating them. Once a sufficient proportion of the world's population have either had Covid or been vaccinated, the...

Brilliant! My husband is getting his tomorrow.

Ephesians 3:14-19 Here is the apostle Paul, praying for all “the faithful in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 1:1): that we might go ever deeper into our experience and understanding of God: “I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of...

Obviously you and I have a totally different understanding of "truth".

This was certainly true in the early months of the pandemic, and it took an inordinately long time to get adequate testing facilities up and running. This is why the second wave looks so much worse than the first wave in terms of reported case numbers Depends which data you're looking at. The...

1) These particular purification rites were in connection with a vow - probably a Nazirite vow (Numbers 6:1-21). (Paul himself had undertaken a Nazirite vow a few years earlier - see Acts 18:18) Christianity had not yet separated from Judaism, and Jewish Christians were still attending synagogue...

So, applying some scientific rigour: This is a Facebook share. We aren't given the date of the video or a clear timeline - she jumps from the date of her vaccination to a day of the week (which week?). Has she seen a doctor? Have any tests been done? Is there a diagnosis? (I didn't watch the...

And yet all you can give in support of your position is anecdotal evidence: What consistent pattern? Some have died on the day of the vaccination, some a few days later, one 12 days later... And it's a handful of random deaths out of millions of vaccinees, which you would expect to happen...

It's VAERS data from the CDC. As I've already explained, VAERS doesn't give you the information you're trying to get from it. Well, you are exceptionally lucky, that's all I can say. I gave you my "anecdotal" testimony because you seem to think that yours is normative for the rest of the...

If you think nothing has changed since thalidomide, you are very poorly informed. Well, actually we've learned quite a lot. Pharmaceutical products are far more rigorously tested now before being authorised for release, and we are far more cautious (possibly over-cautious) about giving any...

No, I think you're using invalid data. No way is the vaccine death rate that high - as far as I can discover no death has yet been definitely attributed to the vaccine by any reputable investigator. And Covid is NOT just another flu-like virus; it's much worse. Everyone I know in my town (and...
