Eve shared an apple with Adam. Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Money is the root of all evil. Gentle Jesus never had a harsh word for anyone. Masks, vaccines, and closing churches will stop the pandemic.

Thank you for your confession and lessons learned. So many of us can say, with you: “I was an idiot! I brought all this on myself.” (A great paraphrase of the prodigal son’s confession!) But, as you have repented and given yourself over to God, He will forgive you unconditionally (although...

Thank you for your comments. Some questions: have you ever voted in a presidential election? If so, for whom and why? Have you ever voted in any election? If so, for whom and why? In China (for example) only state-sanctioned churches are permitted. All others are underground. If this is the...

Thank you for the question and all of the thoughtful replies. Clearly, this is an important question for many Christians because if they have a friend who is of a different faith, they are fearfully concerned about the consequences for that friend’s soul. It would be interesting to have Vice...

Thank you for your question. So first, a clarifying question: Better for whom? Certainly not better for the baby’s family. Certainly not better for the baby’s community. Etc. Not clear why you are asking. Yes, many, many people die before they are able to contribute to others (by loving...

The Apostle Paul observed that even some pagans practice Love Thy Neighbor (e.g., Romans 2: 14-15). Indeed, it can be found in a number of ancient and modern cultures. There is a recent period Chinese drama series where the conflict between Might Makes Right organizations and a Might For...

Thank you for notifying this forum. May God comfort and strengthen you both during your ordeal. May God fill your minds with peace and your hearts with love. May God be with the nurses and doctors caring for her, and also work with them to facilitate her recovery. Amen.

Thank you for your thoughts on a sometimes contentious topic. Although the concept of original sin is a mainline Christian belief, there are other points of view. For example, it is not embraced, nor was it ever embraced, by Judaism. https://outreachjudaism.org/original-sin/ It has also been...

That the IOC has deleted all of its postings of the spectacle, and has sued anyone who has reposted fragments, tells us a couple of things about them. A. It never occurred to them so many viewers might find the portrayals offensive (“living in a bubble” syndrome). B. They realize they cannot...

Thank you for posting. Naturally, the anti-Trump media have taken it out of context. He was speaking at the Believers Summit in West Palm Beach. His message: You Must vote in 2024! (Apparently this group tends to avoid voting, for whatever reason.) If we win in 2024, you can return to not...

Thank you for the discussion. Yes, the language of the Geneva (Shakespeare’s Bible) and King James is wonderful. That said: KJV—Thou shall not kill. NIV: You shall not murder. (What have been the consequences of the KJV?) But listen, too, how sweet the Wycliffe is: (From Luke 2) 7 And...

Thank you all for the interesting posts. If you find any direct evidence of astrology in the links below, please post accordingly. Yes, the old almanacs did have the constellations and some information about the planets, but no astrology per se. And if a publication (newspaper) has an...

Does this sound familiar? The awful story involving King David, Bathsheba, her husband Uriah the Hittite, and David’s general Joab: 2 Samuel 11: 14 The next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15 He wrote in the letter, “Place Uriah at the front of the fiercest battle...

Thank you for your detailed explanation. We agree that no man can save our nation from its obvious decline into godliness (unless God has specifically chosen him to be a great leader and works with him to bring about national repentance). Clearly there are parallels with the decline of the...

Nice try! We have free will; we are not puppets. Thus, some people will disregard many of not all of God’s commandments and act like beasts. Yet, God will still engender His purposes, despite apparent actions of beasts to the contrary. There is plenty of scripture to support God’s...

Hoo boy! Your glass is not just half empty, it is 4/5 empty! (But keep up the cynicism: it is stimulating if nothing else.) Blessings

Certainly the 1960 Democrat Convention. Also the 1968 D convention. Then the 1976 Republican Convention. After that, I am uncertain about the convention decisions. Of course now, Ds have not fully disclosed all the possibilities! Imagine the consequences when a regime decides primary...

Thanks for asking. Votes of No Confidence are a part of a parliamentary system, which the U.S. does not have. instead, there are rules and/or constitutional procedures to be followed, but of course the political parties always have their own work-arounds. Part of the problem for the Ds is...
