    Do we have free will or are we predestined?

    No one who doesn't believe in free will actually lives their life as if it were true. If some random person came up to them and punched in the nose, they wouldn't just shrug it off as if it was beyond that person's control. In fact, society couldn't function at all if there was no free will...

    If aliens from another world land and we meet them, does that affect your religious beliefs?

    There's lots of room for speculation, but UAP's being interdimensional makes the most sense to me as they move in ways that defy the laws of physics. The way they can appear and disappear and even change shape and colors can only be explained if they operate from a higher dimension than our own...

    If aliens from another world land and we meet them, does that affect your religious beliefs?

    If there were extraterrestrial life, it would not affect my faith because it would just mean that God created them too. But even if extraterrestrials existed, it would be impossible for them to reach us. Space is so vast that even traveling at the speed of light, which is an impossibility...

    Two Views of God's Plan for Humankind - which stand in stark contrast

    This is biased mischaracterization. I've said it before, but it all goes back to free will (not predestination). He has given us a very high degree of freedom, even to the point of accepting or rejecting Him. And He did so because He wanted us to love Him freely. Love has to be a choice...

    Babies in the womb are not just lumps of flesh, their experience of reality is "hyper-real" - realer than the adults that carry them!

    Babies\small children give us a glimpse into what it must have been like prior to the fall. Pure and innocent, free from all the sin and trauma we experience later in life.

    The Chosen

    I've watched the first two or three seasons. I will say that it brought out some things in Scripture that I didn't notice or pay much attention to before, like Simon being a Zealot prior to following Jesus, which made me want to research what the Zealot movement was about. It does take quite a...

    The Islamic Jihadi’s War Against Christianity

    Matthew 5:39 is a condemnation of vengeance\revenge\retaliation, especially as it relates to personal insults or offenses. However, there is a distinction between that and self preservation. One is expressly condemned, the other is not. Some Christians served in the Roman army even prior to...

    The Islamic Jihadi’s War Against Christianity

    Some martyrs give up their life willingly, but not all. Most are killed not because they want to avoid killing their enemies (in self-defense) but because they are powerless to defend themselves. Christ's command to turn the other cheek and love your enemies is how we should treat one another on...

    Eight objections to evolution

    How did we get here? There are really only two possibilities. Either we were created, or we evolved. That's it. There is no third possibility (at least none with any credibility). So, let's focus on a few of the problems of evolution. This is far from an exhaustive list; it is merely eight...

    Are we in a post moral relativist culture.

    Christianity is the true counter-culture, especially now.

    Update on World System.

    Anyone would do the same if faced with annihilation. Regardless, that doesn't appear to happen from Scripture.

    Seeing a cardiologist, Dr. Nadig, Monday, for high Blood Pressure and ST elevations and ST depressions

    There's the idea that insulin resistance is the root cause of a whole bunch of metabolic diseases, including high blood pressure. A holistic approach would be to reduce insulin resistance and improve mitochondrial function. There are lots of ways that can be done. A diet that reduces or...

    Update on World System.

    I don't think we're there yet. Russia is busy with Ukraine, and even then, their progress has stalled/slowed. If they have so much difficulty defeating a non-nuclear nation, it would be foolish to attack a nuclear nation, especially one allied with the U.S. Russia attacks when Israel is at...

    Why was Cain's offering unacceptable?

    Using a blood sacrifice was to atone for sins and wasn't initiated until the priesthood was established, long after Cain and Abel. And even then, grain offerings were a thing. So, it couldn't have been about what Cain was offering. One thing I noticed is that Abel offered the firstborn of his...

    Amelek and Gaza

    Oh no, they're quoting the Old Testament (gasp)!

    Would you go to your brothers 2nd wedding after he commited adultery?

    It comes down to personal conviction. God is not going to hold it against you either way.

    How to answer my son's questions

    I have addressed that here. There's a couple of reasons why this one done: 1) The Israelites were used as a form of judgment against the Canaanites for their many transgressions, which included burning their children alive to the fire god Molech. This was done after they were given a long...
