Thank you for your enigmatic comment. Please point out all of the scientific principles elaborated in the Bible, with emphasis on agriculture, materials science, complex & synthetic materials, and medicine. Unlike spiritual truth, which God has and can communicate directly and indirectly...

Thank you for the comment. Indeed, the Bible is the source of truth about the spirit, as well as God’s expectations for us and promises to us. But without the many written commentaries, most of us would find that truth difficult to fathom. On the other hand, the Bible has little to say about...

Thank you for the question. Devout Christians can find themselves subjected to hard times as much as anyone. The difference is that for Christians, God will help them through those hard times, whereas those that reject Him are on their own. For review, what kind of a life did the Apostle Paul...

Thank you for the unusual comment. Please elaborate. Because her disobedience introduced spiritual death? Peace.

Thank you for your strange comment. I am not being paid to draw attention to this interesting book. It is insulting to suggest that, but I forgive you. If you object to science in this forum, or you think the book is awful, please say so. Peace.

A useful video lecture. https://www.youtube.com/live/41bIJ7hYbLs

Although we mostly hear about science thinking it has disproved God, or promoting Godless evolution, occasionally we see just the opposite. https://theimmortalmind.org/ The basic idea is that science cannot explain how our brain works—it is more than an organic machine. Christians know this...

Thank you for the question, and welcome to the forum. My translation says “she would become” and not “was.” blessings.

Thank you for your question. How about, what is wrong with able-bodied people working to support themselves? As for those that have difficulty supporting themselves, Jesus commands disciples to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, shelter the stranger, clothe the naked, tend the sick...

Thank you all for the comments. ”Belief” can be more than just having faith in a loving God who created the universe. There are many people who believe that our material & energy universe is all there is, and that the universe came into existence somehow (they don’t really care). They also...

You are to be commended for your service. It is a special calling. God bless you.

Thank you for your post And questions. Jesus tells us feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, shelter the stranger, cloth the naked, tend the sick, and visit the imprisoned. (Matthew 25: 35,36) Thus, it doesn’t matter if people have employable skills or not, we should care for them. How...

Thank you for your post. Can you elucidate what you do believe in? The choices you make throughout the day are based on your beliefs, including those beliefs you might not know you have. Are you content with your life, based on the choices you have made so far? Related: if you could live in...

Thank you for your post and sharing a common anxiety. Some possibly helpful basics: does it not seem certain the universe had a creator? Does it seem reasonable the creator would love all of His creation, including you? Does it seem reasonable that God‘s will was necessary for the first life...

{ 6.2-ft, 225-lb Rxxx and 5.6-ft, 150-lb Uyyy begin a slug-fest. Biden: Uneven match—take these rocks, Uyyy, and smash him. Trump: you guys are killing each other. Time to stop fighting. Fighting continues and turns even dirtier. Trump: if you will stop fighting, you can each have as much...

Thank you for the post. Our President’s consistent message, and current offer, is that mutual nation building beats destructive wars. Question: is it wishful thinking that Russia might become less authoritarian if it becomes richer through trade? By the way: note that before the U.S. embraces...

Thank you for the comment and reference, which has its points. What I prefer about the 2 Kings chapters, which is missing from Luke, is that Josiah continued to exhibit steadfast faithfulness to God’s commandments. That message is just as important today: no matter what upheaval the world, and...

Thank you for your question. Deconstruction (a critical approach to literary analysis and philosophy) was developed in the late 1960s, most notably by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. So, it has been around for over 50 years. (Not really my cup of tea.) Blessings.

Note: credit for this parallel goes to Pastor Paul Leboutilier, Life Bible Ministry.

In 2 Kings 23 we learn that although God has declared that His wrath is coming for Judah, King Josiah does all he can within his sphere of influence to turn the people of Judah back to God. In particular, he becomes scrupulous about obeying God, and rids the kingdom of all of the pagan idols...
