    A man asked me are Christians good people?

    Yes. The “garbage in” was the man’s pleading to the merciless robot. The “garbage out” was the pile of ashes that needed to be swept up after the robot incinerated the man. Remember, I was a juvenile. It’s juvenile humor. She later told my mother that she thought it was humorous but didn’t...

    You may have read the book I’m quoting from then, Great Truths To Live By. ”Jesus is God only begotten, proceeding by eternal generation from the Father in a birth that never took place because it always was.” (Kenneth Wuest, Great Truths To Live By, p. 30) The “eternal generation” he...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    Iron sharpening iron. You’re doing the same for me, and I greatly appreciate it. Are you familiar with Dr. Kenneth Wuest, Moody Bible College? (I’ll be adding an interesting quote from him in this discussion.) Right now, I’m off to supper.

    I went to the grocery store one time and there was a grocery cart filled with discounted items for sale. One of the items was a can that didn’t have a label on it. They only wanted 10 cents for it. It was a large can so I decided to buy it. When I got home and opened it, I discovered that I had...
