How so?

That has, unfortunately, been the way of the world since the fall of Adam. In all wars, civilians suffer. In time's past, civilians were often targets as much as they were victims. I'm not saying it was right, but that's how it was. Regarding Hiroshima and Nagasaki, those were terrible events...

Some have speculated that Satan, before his fall, was put in charge over earth. After he fell, the earth was taken away from him and was given to us to have dominion over it. Satan has been trying to worm his way back ever since.

True, but the spiritual principalities in high places do exert a lot of influence on humanity. The Book of Daniel talks about the price of Perisa and the price of Greece. The Persian Empire was the dominant empire of Daniel's day. It was proceeded by the Greek Empire. Clearly, those spiritual...

You have some unorthodox ideas. If Satan and angels are currently locked up, this world would be very different than it is now.

Technically a biological male but not a transgender: Kind of a gray area here, but I would still think it would give her(him?) and unfair advantage.

Muslims also say God has no son. So, Islam's Allah is not the same as Christianity's God. In Islam, Jesus is nothing more than a prophet.

Has God stopped his dealing with the world? Because the world is also full of Christ rejectors. Rom 11:1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. Rom 11:11 So I ask, did they stumble in...

Could not this same argument be levied against Jesus? Jesus told his apostles that He must go to Jerusalem, suffer many things, and be killed. Peter took Him aside and rebuked Him for it (Mat 16:21–23), and Mark used a sword to try and prevent Jesus' arrest (Mar 14:47). At another time, Jesus'...

The Olympics ceremony is filled with pagan\occult symbolism for anyone paying attention and has been for some time. The Occult Symbolism Displayed at the 2012 Olympics Ceremony

Yea, I doubt that. It's possible to be both religious and well educated, and many are. Conversely, it's also possible to be an educated fool. How you're being educated also matters. Garbage in, garbage out. Science and universities were born out of the Christian west. Many early scientists...

Is God a gentleman? He can be, but that's only one aspect of His character. God is also a judge, and judges don't make rulings based on what is gentlemanly but on what is just and right. When it comes to free will, there are two things to keep in mind: 1) With free will come consequences; and 2)...

What's the point? Edit: I think this is a bit of a trick question. English numerals do have their roots in Arabic numerals. In that sense, we've already learned them. But if it means learning the Arabic symbols, then no.

No, it wasn't all the Jews. It was some religious leaders who wanted to kill Jesus and it was the Roman gentiles who did the actual killing. Even then there were some religious leaders who were sympathetic toward Jesus such as Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea. For what it's worth, tradition has...

I don't think such scripture exists. It's probably a saying we hear repeated all the time in church but isn't actually in the Bible, like "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" or "God helps those who help themselves."

Not real? Someone actually died (not including the shooter).

Question, do gnostics belive we are all gods or part of the divine?

I think you can. Here's an article I wrote several years ago on that very topic:

Yes, time is short, but they've shown they are willing to take that risk when they decided to push Biden out at this stage in the race. I think they are desparate to stop Trump, and desperate people do desparate things. Whatever enthusiasm Harris has will be short-lived. As to who would replace...

The Bible says if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and He was raised from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Now, I wouldn't necessarily expect a new Christian to change all their ways overnight. Sometimes it happens, but not always. But the desire...
