    Truth behind some starving children in Gaza photos

    What is it supposed to prove, exactly? A bunch of videos strewn together with little to no context. Who knows if they're even from the Israel/Gaza conflict. What I do know is it starts off with a false premise: "Israel stole the land of the Palestinians in 1948." Full stop. Palestine was never a...

    Aliens & watchers & hybrids, oh my!

    Nope, any money I've made from stuff I've written is pocket change at best. I write because I enjoy doing it. I'm not trying to force anything, I'm only exploring possibilities. But you're free to believe what you want.

    Truth behind some starving children in Gaza photos

    You say these things as though they are fact when you have provided no evidence to validate them. You're just repeating the things you have heard. You mentioned Israeli propaganda; well, there's anti-Israel propaganda as well. Have you considered maybe you're spouting anti-Israel propaganda...

    Aliens & watchers & hybrids, oh my!

    That seems like an argument from silence. That is, arguing that the lack of evidence is evidence. We probably know less than 1% about the realm(s) beyond our own. It seems a bit presumptuous to presume we understand how everything works and what all goes on. Our universe is one dimension...

    Aliens & watchers & hybrids, oh my!

    Thanks for the comments. I enjoy this type of discussion even if we don't always agree. To the atheist, what we believe is fantastical too. We believe a man walked on water and rose from the dead, why is that any more a stretch? We can't know that for sure. The Bible doesn't tell us...

    Aliens & watchers & hybrids, oh my!

    I have a working theory that the Watchers were/are corporal entities and distinct from the angels we typically think of in the Bible. "Angels" is kind of a generic term that really doesn't tell us much. We lump all angels together, but who's to say God didn't create a plethora of angels that are...

    Ok, why do you believe it is a "genocide"? What evidence to you have that it is a genocide? Can you name one person who was supposedly killed in said genocide?

    Care to elaborate on this?

    Is sex only for procreation?

    Pleasure is the incentive for sex, but procreation is the biological reason sex exists and the only reason why God created it.

    Truth behind some starving children in Gaza photos

    I can try, but in my experience it doesn't do much good. Applying Rev 2:9 and 3:9 to Jews today is a misinterpretation. It was directed toward certain groups in John's day, not an indictment of all Jews today. So, two things. There has always been a continual Jewish presence in that region...

    If Satan is the devil, is God responsible for all evil?

    Have you considered that not everything is symbolic or that you may have confused the symbolism?

    If Satan is the devil, is God responsible for all evil?

    I could cite the verse, but if you are going to turn everything into symbolism/allegory, we won't agree.

    If Satan is the devil, is God responsible for all evil?

    The end result of allegory.

    If Satan is the devil, is God responsible for all evil?

    Satan, evil, and the suffering it produces are unfortunate byproducts of free will. There will always be those who choose to rebel against God, and that has led to suffering. But without free will, we couldn't freely choose to love God, which is what He wants. To blame God would be to negate...

    Christadelphians, the Devil and Satan

    It seems you like to pick and choose when "angelos" refers to divine angels. Tell me, why is it translated as "angels" in 1 Co 6:3 in every Bible translation? Did all the biblical scholars somehow miss it? No, because "angelos" means angels (i.e. divine beings). That's the way it's used in the...

    Christadelphians, the Devil and Satan

    I would think that the context would make it clear if the quote was an endorsement or a repudiation. I don't see anything to suggest it was the latter. What I do see is that Enoch shaped their worldview; otherwise, why would they quote it at all? Jude calls Enoch a prophet, and there is no other...

    Truth behind some starving children in Gaza photos

    I can't think of any country on earth who would not retaliate if they were attacked the way Israel was attacked on 11-7-23. But for some reason, Israel is held to an impossible standard that no one else is held. It's also unfair to hold them to Christian standards when they are not a Christian...

    Christadelphians, the Devil and Satan

    Thank you for responding. 1 Co 6:3 says that we will judge angels. How do you reconcile that? Why would we need to judge angles if they cannot sin? I'm curious to know where you're coming from. Do you believe Lucifer\Satan is an actual entity? What are your views on hell?

    God and the issue of Evil

    I addressed that assertion in the pervious thread, but you never responded.

    Global Outcry over Gaza

    The U.N. has a long history of anti-Israel bias. Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, Rom 11:18 do not boast against the branches. But if...
