Rats are what we tend to curse Captain Cook for. He is responsible for introducing them to New Zealand. They got off his ship when he visited different places around the NZ coast. Maybe they saw better pickings ashore.

My daughter's cat brought in the biggest rat she had ever seen (in the middle of the night), and it got away from the cat and hid down the side of her fridge. She went back to bed and when she got up the next morning, it was gone.

No talking snakes? :-)

If some black guy had done the same, he would have been frog marched off the jail right away and given a 20 year prison sentence.

Ah... the twists and turns of American politics and the News Media...

It seems that people in the US are more polarised in their politics. One political party seems to say that the other is corrupt and vice versa. And there seems to be a lot more fake news in America than anywhere else. So, I would take your last sentence with a grain of salt. For instance, I...

Prayed. :-)

Tell that to the families of the 10s of thousands who have now died from it in your country alone.

I wonder how many of those who said that it was a hoax have now died from it?

We need to be careful about unsubstantiated accusations directed at politicians.

I think that it is criminal that, as I have heard, rich people are taking the subsidy, meant for the survival of small businesses, for their own selfish purposes. They should be apprehended and forced to pay that money back and charged with obtaining money through deception.

:eek: Huh?

I am reading in the news here about the protesters getting out and wanting the restrictions lifted so they can have more freedom of movement. Who do they think they are? Do they want the infection and death rate to increase? In our country this would be seen as criminal behaviour and they...

Because God lives outside of time, He sees the past, present and future all at once. This is not to say that He determines the future, unless He has indicated what is going to happen through the OT prophets. If He says beforehand what is going to happen, then He organises things so that they...

True. This is because of God's foreknowledge - that He knows of every single person who has and will put their faith either in the Messiah to come (OT) or in Jesus Christ (NT). Therefore God did not predetermine who was going to be saved or not. This is where I depart from extreme Calvinism...

That is very inspiring, and the fruit of the encounter shows its genuineness.

I agree with your post, but just one small point. A careful reading of the account will show that only one of the criminals went to Paradise with Jesus because he said, "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom". The other criminal did not have that response, but continued to revile...

All we have to do is to read the history that He has already provided us with. If we don't believe that, there is no point asking Him any further, because He will just answer: "Why are you not believing what I have already said?"

All Google is - is an online library where you can look up anything. Before the internet, I used to go to the library to research anything I needed, but when I discovered Google, it made finding information much easier. I just concluded that your fingers on the keyboard are just as good as...

The only science that is truly scientific is the one that establishes a scientific fact by the scientific method. I will leave it to you to Google it to find out what it is.
