I'm assuming you speak of the atomic scale. Internal energy is just atoms bouncing around. They don't stop moving because of conservation of energy. If heat leaves a system they move slower, if you add heat they move faster. They can be excited further by radiant heat or emf. Imagine a...

I don't follow. Are you saying that the many understandings of prophecy is to our benefit?

I am going to move this to the unorthodox section. Some intriguing thoughts there.

Definitely. God is limitless in his capacity to deal with our questions. He knows the hairs on our head after all. Matthew 10:30

When a prophet speaks it is by a spirit. If the prophet doesn't speak by the Holy Spirit, they are likely speaking by an evil spirit. Then they are false prophets if they speak by an evil spirit. But your right I'm just splitting hairs, it is the spirit that is important.

No, I don't believe a spirit is used to refer to a person. But it can refer to their beliefs which are inspired by a spirit. There is the scripture with knowing people by their fruits. Also the one that goes like, from the mouth the heart speaks. Please excuse the paraphrase, trying to make...

Awesome testimony! I believe there is still a place for gathering together. The leadership is just ineffective, otherwise sin wouldn't be permitted to continue unchallenged. Perhaps the churches are bending to modern sentiment by being so accepting. I hope you are able to find a church out...

That statement is prefaced by the assumption that you make it to heaven in the first place. If you just dump everyone on earth into heaven yea, what you say is true most would still sin.

Who said just being watched is sufficient? I didn't.

"When the cat is away the mice will play." I believe someone that is able to endure to the end and remain faithful in this life will be strong enough to remain faithful forever within God's presence. It is hard to be bad when you know your being watched. Even if time doesn't exist as we know...

Fasting is an easy way to "put your money where your mouth is," and let God know your serious. I recommend abstaining from whatever worldly things you can for a while. Consult your doctor first if you have medical issues, and lighten it accordingly. Fasting need not always be abstaining from...

Yes, I skimmed it and missed the sarcasm. That's a relief, but there does seem to be some reluctance to welcoming Tripp among some of our members.

I have known two satanist who have turned to Christ. One I saw the change happen on another forum, there was no convincing them; God took care of the convincing. We merely were supportive and prayerful. If you say a Satanist has made their choice and that's the end of it, you are wrong. God...

Experiential evidence is dismissed as insufficient proof by unbelievers. So all the knowledge you have means nothing to them. Even among believers the same evidence can mean nothing to them, but to you proves everything you know about God. I believe it is the result this verse in action, as...

A tax deduction only means you do not pay tax on what your giving to a tax free entity. It is a refund of what you paid in already. Matt 6:1 is about boasting about your giving; the IRS is not impressed. It doesn't matter if they know or not.

The scriptures don't say that the scriptures should be assembled into one book, the Bible. I would prefer a bible for myself with multiple volumes instead of small print on transparently thin pages in a large book. I'm also sure that God knew it was going to happen, and he likely caused it to...

You already know it is a sin VictoryInJesus, so you must flee from it as the bible says. Don't buy another pack, smoke a single cigarette, or even think about it for more than a second. I pray you can overcome this and that the Lord strengthens your resolve, painlessly if possible.

I understand. The discussion almost always goes downhill after the first couple pages. Everyone has said what is on their mind about the topic by that stage unless they come to the discussion late. It turns into a challenge of who can get in the last word, and other things that are not at all...

I will engage in discussion at my discretion. My moderator role obliges me to try to keep things civil and on topic even if I am not involved. I do not have time for your provocations Stranger.

These insults are getting out of hand. I intend to close this topic unless anyone else has more to say on solo-scriptura.
