Thank you for your posts on this sensitive topic to some Christians. God does not implant scientific knowledge in our brains. We must work to discover it (but He does help us assemble the facts to form an understanding of His creation). 5,000 years ago, the state of our knowledge of...

We are social mammals, and our basic nature is to behave like a social mammal: each must see to itself for food, water, healthcare, etc.; they live hierarchal groups maintained by “might makes right”; and it is primarily the alpha males that mate and pass their genes to the next generation. We...

Thank you all for your posts. Although this is a sad decision, remember that our Constitution is not intended to be a document pertaining to morals, but rather establish a framework for laws: secular laws. Thus, Roe v. Wade was vacated not so new lives would be saved, but because it was not...

Thank you for your post. It is good that you are concerned for her soul. Many of the suggestions from others are sound and warrant special consideration. One other approach occurs to us because of Romans 2: 14-15. The Apostle Paul found, perhaps to his surprise, that many of the gentiles...

Thank you for sharing. Our hearts go out to you. We can’t lesson your burden, but you know Who can. When I become overwhelmed and anxious, God reminds me to count my blessings, and that He will always be with me, even to the end, because He loves me. Peace and blessings.

Thank you your response. Actually, the 10 Commandments are foundational for Western Civilization, and thus for the United States. https://www.prageru.com/video/the-ten-commandments-what-you-should-know Teach history of religion as well as understanding what the beliefs mean? Absolutely. But...

Thanks for your question. The five pillars are Islam are profession of faith, prayer, almsgiving, fasting, pilgrimage. If they are explained in a neutral way, why not? In fact, it would be educational for American children to learn about all world religions. But it must be stressed that...

Thanks to all for this discussion. Question: suppose you were tasked with teaching the 10 Commandments in a public school, without promoting religion? How would you proceed? For example, could you teach the first commandment in a way that was religiously and secularly neutral? Ditto...

Really folks. The phrase Judeo-Christian values or tradition is easily found on the internet. Here is an example:

Thank you for your post. You are absolutely correct, from a Christian perspective. Although Wrangler is right that Feminism is an evil ideology, anthropologically there are subtle differences for men. First, anthropologically, male mammals want lots of sex, but may not be driven by a desire...

Good points. However, Question: Deuteronomy 25:5 says, “If brothers are living together and one of them dies without a son, his widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother shall take her and marry her and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her. 6 The first son she...

Mosaic law is largely silent on the importance, to a vibrant, stable society, of a life-long, monogamous covenant between a man and a woman. (It may have been taken for granted, being ingrained for so long.) We do have Commandments 5 and 7, but polygamy is not thereby excluded. Re Same-Sex...

Two Hummingbird (“teenage”) siblings squabbling in their nest. H1: “keep your claws on your side”! H2: “keep your wing out of my face”. Both: “Mom!” Young hummingbird teetering on the edge of the nest: “No, no way. Fly? Too scary. Mom!”

Thank you for your provocative post. OK, so bearing ill will toward others is a vice, a sinful snare to watch out for: agreed. What about the opposite: what should our response be to “karma”: the person who receives God’s judgement immediately upon causing harm to others for personal gain...

Well, you definitely fooled me (which unfortunately happens all too often), but it is OK. As to wisdom: wow! Why didn’t I listen better to my parents, grandparents? Or better, why didn’t I listen and obey God! And of course, without God’s grace, where would we be? Surely convenant...

Thank you for your novel post. Can we presume you are looking for a husband that will care about you, cherish you, and want to protect you, as long as you both shall live? Eddie Murphy said famously (“Coming to America”) that libraries and churches were the best places to find The One. I...

Thank you for your post. Let’s take a look at “Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery.” One of the biggest modern frauds perpetuated by predatory men, and promoted by feminists, is the separation of sex from marriage. An unmarried woman living with a man is often abused. She is viewed as an object...

Thank you for engaging. You are correct that there was no police force in OT times. In fact indigenous tribes the world over (in addition to the Hebrew tribes) have empowered tribal elders to foster, maintain, and enforce the culture, whether harmonious (“Love Thy Neighbor”) or not. Today, no...

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the Rule of Law can’t fix anything if people do not abide by the rule of law. And even if 99% of the people are law-abiding citizens, society must have a means for curtailing the 1% that doesn’t: like a police force. If we wish to transform a...

Does anyone know the author of this dialog? And the Lord said, “Go!” And I replied, “Who, me?” And He said, “Yes, You!” And I whined, “But surely not now? I’m busy with work, my family needs me, and I have a full schedule.” And He said, “You’re stalling!” And the Lord said, “Go!” And I...
