There is a deferred punishment coming for Satan. He will be cast into the Lake of Fire at some future point.

Because it was by divine revelation. Here's the thing: the Old Testament saints never talk much about hell or the afterlife because they didn't have much revelation about it. They only knew about the grave, Sheol, so they had a more neutral, if not pessimistic, view of death. When you get to the...

I've always wondered how they deal with hurricanes on those Caribbean islands. I live on the Texas coast, and If a hurricane comes, I can always leave. But they don't have that luxury.

So, tell me, do you think their argument about this is true? What is your honest take on the biblical narrative of the flood? Do you believe it actually happened?

And do you think the story is a myth because you believe God would never do such a thing? God was perfectly justified for the reason already stated, and because He is the highest authority and can do whatever He wants. I think you're trying to guilt people into believing the traditional biblical...

I wouldn't call it genocide; it was judgment. It also ignores the context, which others have noted is found in Enoch. Humanity and animals had become genetically corrupted. If God had not done what He did, there would have been nothing left to save. So, if it's not a genocide, then it would be...

Is that what you really believe or are you trying to make some odd point?

I watched some of the old Who when Tom Baker was the Doctor, and I watched the new Who up until Peter Capaldi. I was a casual fan of Star Trek, mostly the older series, though I was more into Star Wars. I'm not a big fan of the newer stuff.

That's called micro evolution, it's the expression of the variation within a species but it does have limits. What Darwin was espousing was macro evolution, the changing of one kind to another kind, and that has never been substantiated.

That's what happens when Muslims get in the majority. Islam is just not compatible with Western civilization.

There are contradictions, and then there are apparent contradictions. A contradiction is a situation where the facts are unequivocally incompatible and can't be true at the same time. An apparent contradiction seems to conflict on the surface, but upon closer examination, it can be reconciled or...

Thou doth protest too much, methinks.

My wife had a similar experience when she was a teenager. She said she was lying in bed, and she left her body without any apparent reason. It was brief, and then she slammed back into her body. Some people claim to do this willingly through astral projection. I don't know if such a thing is...

There's no way this was a coincidence. These are the types of people Israel is dealing with. The problem isn't just Hamas, it's the people. They elected Hamas in the first place. There's a reason why their Arab neighbors don't want them or why Egypt built a border wall between them and Gaza...

That's all well and good, but we still live in a world where bad things happen to good people. There's been thousands of Christians that have been murdered in Nigeria this year alone. Tradition says they were martyred, but we don't know that for sure. Even if they martyred, it doesn't mean...

It was a much more brutal time all around. I would note that the Crusades were not specifically about killing Muslims and Jews; they were a response to Christian pilgrims being brutally killed, churches being destroyed and desecrated, and because they believed making a pilgrimage to the Holy...

Hello GodsGrace, that is how I understand it, though not everyone agrees. I have given this a lot of thought too since the passing of my father. I think this gets into the larger discussion of where the consciousness resides. That is a difficult question to answer even for the secular world...

And in other news, the sky is falling. No mention that Trump just helped end the war in Gaza.

I have written about this before. A Brief History of Islam: Part 1 The Rise of Islam A Brief History of Islam: Part 2 Christendom Strikes Back

You had said in a previous post: The assertion is that Paul got his ideas about the soul from the Greeks. Yet, Jesus expressed those same ideas about the soul in the story of the rich man and Lazarus. That is, the soul (the will, intellect, emotions, consciousness, etc.) exists beyond the...
