I am not sure if I like this argument, but you can always say "If monkeys became men, because men were like monkeys; couldn't any species become men, in as much as men are like those species?" It's not a gripping argument, because it leaves a vacuum - you need to point out "wouldn't men become...

I was just reading Titus 3 where it mentions the importance of works in not one, but two places in the same chapter. The Bible does not say "neglect works, now that you have Salvation", but urges "love the work all the more!"

Just curious about your interpretation: how does a tattoo come to "create a painful sore" (as it says in Revelation the "mark" will do)?

No, but God can refuse the ones outside, out of love for peace inside.

Jesus said "Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest", that's as close to Buddhist meditation as you need to get (Mark 6:31). The sensible disciple will interpret this to mean "always remember the need to rest, wherever you are in life". Now does "always resting" mean you are...

I prefer to think the difference (in Christ's words) will be not what He says but how. In the beginning Christ was mindful of "what" He was saying, when He returns He will take that as given, and concern Himself with "how" what is given is given (for our sake).

Interestingly, I hit upon the idea that "God is able to give us foreword of the adaptations to come, but not the devolving of one species to become another". I mean this is the idea, right? The Devil says "it doesn't matter what adaptations are coming, I am strong enough to adapt to them...

Is this the representation of Prophecy, Law and Psalms?

Jesus puts it differently Luke 21:36 "Watch and pray always that you be able to escape these things and to stand before the Son of Man". Jesus does not want us to 'prove something to the world', not even to know the scriptures that prove us the most, but to be able to resist the evil one and...

I find this thread interesting. I think God is like a wall. When you are outside the wall, the wall refuses you: its cold and windy and tumultuous; if you can't see the door (in the wall, let the reader observe), it looks to you as if you are being shunned or judged. But, when you are inside...

Probably the most helpful thing I have learned is that the desire to command the outcome of a certain species' growth (to harness the potential of what a creature can become), rests on being ready to seize upon the change that most exemplifies progress toward that change. You don't jump on the...

My anxiety about sugar in general has subsided (thanks to Chromium).

I think I may have been addicted to McDonald's from birth.

Something I learned through this whole fornication thing - which may help married couples too - is that your partner only has greater say (authority, power) if they are going slower than you. Rushing to power is not justifiable in a mutual relationship.

I recently came to the conclusion, that God is "God" because God is the only one with experience, in creating the Universe. What's good about this argument, is that it's testable: when you pray to God, does God respond in ignorance or operate as though He is a force and nothing else? No! He...

I feel like you might be offended by this, but it doesn't sound like you know the Holy Spirit. I'm not saying that's your fault or you've done something wrong - I'm just saying you are proposing "it is either true or not", when if you knew the Holy Spirit you would say "its either true or more...

I heard a great quote about the ten commandments, but I can't remember who said it: "The ten commandments are commandments, they are not called 'the ten suggestions'"

It has got to the point, that I understand Evolution as a distinction of predator/prey - that predators evolve and prey creates. However I cannot be coerced into believing that creatures function like butterflies - that they become one type of creature then another. - or that mutations help or...

I can see there is truth to the interpretation the Holy Spirit has given you. Do you want to try another constellation, or do we agree that the way things are arranged is by the Holy Spirit?

The big dipper and the stars around it reflect the verse "I and My Father are One", and "you shall not tempt the Lord your God" If you want to know more, please ask the Holy Spirit.
