Yes and I think the basic tribalism is still happening today with identity politics. Humans have this base inherent ideology of dividing into different like minded groups who will pit themselves against the outsiders. They will inevitable find something to cast them aside and in the end...

Sounds like the rugby league players up in northern England on a cold and miserable day hitting you square in the ribs with a front on tackle. Or the wharfies on Sydney docks back in the bad old days of the Painters and Dockers Union lol. Or Tarzan the movie where he is being groomed into...

In a way the animal and spiritual human is a good destinction between the spirit and our carnal flesh instincts. It seems humans have those base animal instincts but are also spiritual. Have conscious awareness of the spiritual beyond the flesh and know the difference between right and wrong...

Humans have been battling this problem for centuries. If not millenia. Chalmers is best known for formulating the hard problem of consciousness and for popularizing the philosophical zombie thought experiment. Why is it that we humans can experience what it is like to be something? In fact the...

I think Trump is merely acting on what all past presidents and most people have acknowledged for decades now. That Iran is a threat to world security and peace. The current terror in the world is the result of decades of ignoring the growing threat of Islamists. As the radicals are now saying...

For me the idea of Jesus being a potential saviour seems to detach Christ from our lives. From being an active live spirit working in our lives. Not some potential Jesus that is yet to manifest in us. I also think in relegating Jesus as a potential saviour this also opens up for Him being...

Its sort of like chicken and egg senario. What came first the organic recognition of Isreal as a naturally gifted or perhaps self determined and hard working people. Whatever they certainly created good situations for themselves as a people even under duress. Or that they were given special...

I find it interesting that while there is a modern trend against the death penalty on the basis that taking any life is inhumane. As though the act of taking a life even when someone has committed the most evil acts. Is a greater moral wrong than the evil act. But not because people want to be...

You actually hit on the crux of the matter. If you notice that everyone is complaining about how others are hypocrities and not living up to what they say. Or not living up to a precieved good. Everyone has some percieved moral shortfall. Regardless of religion or ideology the actions rarely...

Because unfortunately some people mistake Jesus for feelings or experiences. Or substitute a false Jesus as the real Jesus. For which the wolves in sheep clothing is what Jesus warned the disciples and His church about. Especialy in the last days. In the past we had a more clear and...

There is also the verse about cutting off a limb that has sinned to save you from hell. So it seems the physical body is secondary to the loss of ones soul. I am wondering if Adam and Eve did eat of the Tree of Life that this would bypass Christ. Like some backdoor to everlasting life. Perhaps...

Ultimately sinners will be judged at the end of time. The bible says the wages of sin is death. I would say this death is far greater than physical death. But I am not sure how Gods judgement works under Christs covenant as far as this temporal life on earth. I know if someone lives a sinful...

I think ultimately its a matter of decernment in the spirit. The good fruits of the spirit which can only be seen with the spirit of Christ in a persons heart that allows them to see and hear what others cannot see and hear. Or see and hear with a particular spirit and disposition. One beiong...

I think those verses are plain and simple and tell the truth. Paul emphasised this time and time again and warned againt alternative gospels. The important point is that on believing the gospel a person is born again of the spirit and no longer a slave to sin and the flesh. In that sense we...

For me one sign or perhaps an insight into the gospel being diluted is in how it has gradually become the same as the world. The world has not conformed to the gospel but the gospel has conformed to the world. Simple as that. For most of history western cultures have adhered to biblical norms...

Calling Isreal a State is loaded with political ideology. It implies Statehood and this comes from political ideology. The same ideology that demands other States as a matter of simply declaring so. A rights based political ideology. Similar to individual and group rights. Which is based in...

I cannot see any reason why the LGBTIQ+ community cannot be saved. Just like anyone who may be inclined to live a certain way that is contrary to Gods laws. Part of being saved in the transformation of the mind and living in the spirit rather than the flesh. Even sins of the flesh such as...

It seems at present we have a natural and practical response to the evil terror that has been inflicted on the world in recent decades. It was inevitable that radical Islamist ideology was always going to be fullfilled. Radical Islam comes naturally out of its logical conclusion from the...

Despite all the doom and gloom and prophesy what is happening with Iran is a natural and logical progression of what has been happening in recent decades with the growth of Islamist terrorism. Radical Islam has been growing for some time and we have seen the terror inflicted on the world. It...

I think "Truth" is different to an objective fact within the physical world. Such as with empirical sciences. Though it becomes less clear with say psychological facts compared to the hard sciences. But a truth seems to occupy a transcedent aspect such as morality or experiences and intuition...
