    That can happen if the cars don't have non-GMO tires.

    Dogs in the Bible

    As long as you have a bottle of ketchup handy.

    Dogs in the Bible

    Yes, but the point is that roadkill is not kosher.

    Dogs in the Bible

    In the wild dogs are scavengers who will eat dead animals, so I can see how they'd be considered unclean.

    Reap the whirlwind, Murphy. Reap it!

    To Live is Christ, To Die is Gain?

    To live is Christ -- while alive we can spread the gospel and be good representatives of Christ among people To die is (personal) gain -- we get to go be with Christ. It's a win either way.

    Should we pray the Lord's prayer daily?

    Your post makes some valid points regarding prayer in general. However, in relation to my post it is a complete non-sequitur.

    Should we pray the Lord's prayer daily?

    Yeah. I think you completely missed my point.

    Should we pray the Lord's prayer daily?

    No. How can the rote recital of someone else's prayer come from the heart?

    Does God answer by our casting lot?

    Bible Roulette only seems random bc you are not making the conscious choice to go to a specific book or passage. God still leads you where He wants you to go. I agree, tho, that God has any number of methods to get our attention and direct us.

    Now kill all the boys

    NEVER presume to judge God by pitiful human standards. In fact, never presume to judge God, period. Ever.

    If Jesus didn’t know the hour doesn’t that mean that he isn’t god?

    Jesus is my Lord. I love Him. I obey Him. I serve Him. I worship Him. That is all.

    Does God answer by our casting lot?

    There is no random chance. There is no luck. Both imply a force beyond God's control, which is, of course, impossible. God is in control of all things at all times. It is all a matter of His will and His plan.

    If Jesus didn’t know the hour doesn’t that mean that he isn’t god?

    Throughout the Gospels, Jesus always presents Himself as being in a subservient position to God the Father. At no time does Jesus claim equality with God.

    King Saul was a tragic hero

    Like many, his power went to his head. Not even David was immune (just ask Uriah). Don't know about being a hero, but he is certainly an precautionary example of the price of disobedience to God.

    Justified = just if I'd never sinned

    Why did God create Satan?

    There is nowhere near enough information in the Bible on the subject to draw an informed conclusion, so basically this is all useless speculation. All that can be said with any certainty is that God created him because it was His will to do so.

    What is the age of accountability?

    In Jewish society of biblical times, a boy is considered 'of age' at 13 and a girl at 12 (the age when the have their bar or bat mitzvahs)

    Is procrastination a sin?

    Good question. I'll get back to you on that The passage in James 4 is taken out of context here. James is speaking here of people getting ahead of themselves with planning, as he goes on to say in v15 -- 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that."
