* I seldom read novels, but I do have reading fever. *

The common denominator is truth. You would become a Christian or an atheist if you could determine which one is true. What is truth? How do we find it? I’m currently reading “There Is A God: How the World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind”, written by Antony Flew. I want to find out...

* “Rubber” (2010). Will the horror never end? *

@Riven. Cruelty isn’t a Christian attribute.

* I’m almost persuaded to commit a crime in Brazil. *

“And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, ‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.’” (Luke 6:20, NASB) The “kingdom of heaven” is the “kingdom of God”. The terms are synonymous. The kingdom of heaven / God is neither heaven nor God.

“War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures.” (Pope Leo XIV)...

If atheism is true, would you become an atheist?

@Riven. If you listen to and believe what @Big Boy Johnson tells you about me you’re going to walk away with a false impression. He’s filling your mind with half-truths. He’s doing to me what he has done to others. Compare what he says and does with what the Messiah says and does. Do the same...

The body will be reconstituted. The only reason that it didn’t happen that way with Jesus is that he didn’t decompose. He didn’t become dust. He wasn’t buried long enough for that process (decomposition) to happen to him. Cremation reduces the dead to dust. Burial reduces people to dust...

My belief / thought is Hebraic, not Hellenistic. Human beings are souls. There are living souls (you and I, for example) and their are dead souls (people who are deceased.) Think about that word - deceased. What does it mean? They have ceased being what they were. What they were was alive...

No. God, Jesus, and myriads of angels are there right now. Human beings (with the exception of Jesus) who have died are all in the grave, asleep in the dust of the earth, awaiting bodily resurrection to life.

Even the Messiah himself hasn’t locked up the devil and all of his demons. He can, and the time is coming when he will. The Messiah’s disciples should be living the life that he models.

That’s right. I live by the standards established by the Messiah, not by theirs. You live by their standards. If only you could lock up the devil and all his demons, but you cannot. Which is the better way to live?

John McCain is dead and in the grave awaiting resurrection. The dead don’t smile. He’s not singing anything now.
