Thanks for the follow-up questions. God, in His wisdom, says that if we will be obedient, we can have abundant life. If we say, “I want to do this instead,” He says OK (but there will be consequences). The parable of the prodigal son begins thusly. Regarding the Amos passage, here is Micah...

Thanks for the question. Sadly, gave up all wine, porter, and Guinness. Both enzyme levels now in normal range. Peace.

Thank you for the intriguing question. God commanded the Israelites to erect the tabernacle and then the temple in part because they were to be the only place for blood sacrifices. Israelites were to distinguish themselves from their pagan Canaanite neighbors, who selected a multitude of high...

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw decided to add a little Biblical context to his team's ridiculous pride-themed hats this past Friday. June 13 was officially Pride Night at Dodger Stadium when the San Francisco Giants came to play. The team wore caps with the traditional LA logo, but...

Thanks for posting! The formula for octane is C8H18. So, starting with air and water, and the right enzymes, plus some energy (!) it should be feasible. The only question is, how much energy? (And is oxygen a byproduct?) Note: green plants perform a similar feat by converting air and water...

Thanks for the comment. The insult is not appreciated. Tribes that obeyed God’s commands had a superior community to those that did not. But they could not improve their standard of living without understanding their environment and seeking answers to basic questions of how things worked. God...

Thank you for your enigmatic comment. Please point out all of the scientific principles elaborated in the Bible, with emphasis on agriculture, materials science, complex & synthetic materials, and medicine. Unlike spiritual truth, which God has and can communicate directly and indirectly...

Thank you for the comment. Indeed, the Bible is the source of truth about the spirit, as well as God’s expectations for us and promises to us. But without the many written commentaries, most of us would find that truth difficult to fathom. On the other hand, the Bible has little to say about...

Thank you for the question. Devout Christians can find themselves subjected to hard times as much as anyone. The difference is that for Christians, God will help them through those hard times, whereas those that reject Him are on their own. For review, what kind of a life did the Apostle Paul...

Thank you for the unusual comment. Please elaborate. Because her disobedience introduced spiritual death? Peace.

Thank you for your strange comment. I am not being paid to draw attention to this interesting book. It is insulting to suggest that, but I forgive you. If you object to science in this forum, or you think the book is awful, please say so. Peace.

A useful video lecture. https://www.youtube.com/live/41bIJ7hYbLs

Although we mostly hear about science thinking it has disproved God, or promoting Godless evolution, occasionally we see just the opposite. https://theimmortalmind.org/ The basic idea is that science cannot explain how our brain works—it is more than an organic machine. Christians know this...

Thank you for the question, and welcome to the forum. My translation says “she would become” and not “was.” blessings.

Thank you for your question. How about, what is wrong with able-bodied people working to support themselves? As for those that have difficulty supporting themselves, Jesus commands disciples to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, shelter the stranger, clothe the naked, tend the sick...

Thank you all for the comments. ”Belief” can be more than just having faith in a loving God who created the universe. There are many people who believe that our material & energy universe is all there is, and that the universe came into existence somehow (they don’t really care). They also...

You are to be commended for your service. It is a special calling. God bless you.

Thank you for your post And questions. Jesus tells us feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, shelter the stranger, cloth the naked, tend the sick, and visit the imprisoned. (Matthew 25: 35,36) Thus, it doesn’t matter if people have employable skills or not, we should care for them. How...

Thank you for your post. Can you elucidate what you do believe in? The choices you make throughout the day are based on your beliefs, including those beliefs you might not know you have. Are you content with your life, based on the choices you have made so far? Related: if you could live in...

Thank you for your post and sharing a common anxiety. Some possibly helpful basics: does it not seem certain the universe had a creator? Does it seem reasonable the creator would love all of His creation, including you? Does it seem reasonable that God‘s will was necessary for the first life...
