I think there is something very wrong with most social media. It makes people vain and phony, and people are also much more aggressive over the internet. A famous boxer once said "the internet has made people way too comfortable with being rude to one another and not getting punched in the...

The next passage: Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: This message is for people who claim to be Christian but don't love, forgive, and help others. There are many people who think they serve...

Many men say that they are wise and virtuous, but I have not seen a single one who could go even a single month without a sin of any kind. It is foolish and a sin in itself to believe yourself perfectly righteous. Luke 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee...

Well this is pretty definitive in my opinion. Good catch.

These are someone's sons, fathers, and brothers

No, the conscience isn't destroyed, it is restored. You can indeed sin your head off but the result is that you experience all the pain you had inflicted onto others. So if that sounds like a good time to you then go ahead. You won't be tortured forever, only in proportion to what you have done...

Genesis 9 6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. Psalm 82 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. John 10 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those...

The heart Proverbs 17 3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts. Isaiah 48 10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

Here is the full context: 1 Corinthians 3 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. 10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take...

Luke 3 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 1 Corinthians 15 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the...

Acts 2 27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

1 Corinthians 3:15 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

The consciousness exists first, and your experience of the world is created by projecting your thoughts outward like onto a movie screen. You recognize symbols, like trees, people, etc. and this creates your reality. The will very obviously exists because you know that you are here, the real...

Samaritans are Israelites, but there was a schism between them and the Jews. The point of schism is that they regard Mount Gerizim as sacred, as the land where Noah disembarked and where Abraham was told to sacrifice Isaac. They also worship YHWH but regarded the Jews as apostates and...

Why do you have to insult everyone you disagree with? Matthew 5:22 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou...

I don't buy it

Yup, I felt my baby kicking too. Who was doing the kicking if the baby wasn't alive?

Yup, if they're not alive, no point in killing them. If they're an organ, no point in removing a healthy organ. If they're just mud and so is the mother, no point in doing anything to either of them. Either the gestating baby is alive, or else, there is no reason to take notice of it.

I'm sorry. God please be with him and help him to recover.
