I expect news stories like these to be as well received as Noah warning of a future flood. :rain?: People believe they're better off not knowing, and work extremely hard to forget things like this happen. Threads like these receiving no interest and no replies (without being bumped) are one...

In genesis, the wicked and sinful are drowned in a massive flood. The wicked and sinful are wiped out in sodom and gamorra. God punishes the son, for the sins of the father, up to the 7th generation in the old testament. Israelites exterminate many tribes of sinful idol worshipers. In the...

There will always be conflict between those who make an effort to be knowledgeable and informed. And those who make no effort to gain knowledge who believe its acceptable to simply repeat narratives they receive from CNN, Fox News or other official sources. The only way we achieve unity is if...

I often wonder if those words of Jesus can be translated within a modern context. "Don't feed the trolls."

The path of truth leads to progress and innovation. Modern medicine, computers, science and technology have all advanced thanks to pursuit of truth and people seeking to gain knowledge about the world God created. Somewhere along the line, Satan convinced people they were better off not...

Well, maybe "die" is a better translation. As it makes it easier for people to redefine the verse in their own likeness. The bible is like a psychologists rorschach (abstract inkblot) test. How people interpret the bible says more about them, than it does the content written on the page.

Its a bad translation as most inaccurately assume it implies physical death of the body. But what actually died were the tendencies to not wear clothes and not comprehend concepts like good or evil.

Jesus is the truth that liberates us and sets us free. Satan is the father of lies who restricts, oppresses and enslaves. If it was possible to put 40 ounces of lies in a bottle. And 40 ounces of truth, in another bottle. With people having a choice between the two. Which would be more...

Maybe its deliberately written or translated that way. To give those who do not want to know the truth, a backdoor and way out of understanding things. There are many in the world who believe they are healthier and better off not knowing basic facts on things. The bible could be written to be...

"Die" and "end" are synonyms. https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/die What are synonyms? At the beginning of the story, Adam and Eve are naked and cannot comprehend good or evil at a level similar to angels or God. At the end of the story, Adam and Eve are wearing clothes and have...

I think verses relating to Adam and Eve being warned not to eat the fruit. Are better interpreted replacing the word "die" with "end". "If you eat the fruit, you shall surely d̶i̶e̶ end." This carries scientific implications. 1. Adam and Eve were a species of early human bridging modern...

Israelite slaves delivered from egypt, under Moses, were a massive migration movement. They critically outnumbered existing factions and wiped them out. There could be a lesson in there somewhere that is more than 2,000 years old. Yet despite being more than 2,000 years old, I suspect there...

If a person is punished for their sins, should they not also receive accolades for their virtues? Would it be strange if a person could only be punished for bad choices. And never be rewarded for good ones? So that people could never receive credit for their accomplishments.

I think there are basic observations about the journey of Jesus that most do not want to think about. Which makes it pointless to try to discuss these types of topics. We need the basic and fundamental building blocks of Christ's story to build the basic narrative. And the basic building...

I avoided horror films. Until the 2016 US elections and its implications made the real world more negative and disturbing than anything I could see on TV. Since then, I went back and watched horror franchises that I avoided. On some level it could be good to be reminded of how violence and...

Compare bolded portions with our current state of affairs. The predictive power of biblical accuracy is truly amazing. That people who lived thousands of years ago could pinpoint and define circumstances those of today would cope with. Its a good example of christianity having superior...

I think people of the world will see the answer, with their own two eyes, soon enough. Nothing else would convince them otherwise.

1. An atheist who follows the commandments and teachings of God. 2. A christian who professes to believe in God with their mouth, but does the opposite of God's commandments and teachings. Of above options, which is closer to being a believer?

The true believer and follower of Christ. Is the one who follows the commandments and teachings of Christ.
