Thank you for your post. We are delighted with 3 children and 6 grandchildren. Would we wish our children had larger families? Yes, but that is their choice. Going slightly off-topic: It may be that believers have larger families than non-believers, and that is a good thing. However, rather...

Thank you for your reply. We wish you well. As you meet people, we would be interested in your observations about the culture(s). Is there evidence of Love Thy Neighbor, or are the people more self-centered & withdrawn. May God be with you.

For the last 400 years or so, scientists have sought to understand God’s creation in terms of all-encompassing, elegant mathematical theories. They have succeeded to a large extent in physical theories. For example, the Standard Model of particle physics combines an understanding of all...

Thank you for the question. Other translations have “trust in the Lord” or “hope in the Lord.” Perhaps “serve the Lord” is consistent with your idea of “wait” as in “waiting on table” since that is clearly service. After all, Love the Lord Your God means a whole range of actions. Others in...

Thank you for your post. We pray that God will help you stay alert to changing and new circumstances, and comfort you in times of anxiety. We pray also that He inspires you to be a model for Christianity, especially in trying circumstances where you might be provoked. Finally: Let Him shield...

You are mostly correct—the atheists whose faith is godless evolution, see humans not only as just another species, but as an intrinsically destructive species which must be thinned (or even eliminated). They are often childless and proponents of abortion on demand. But there are plenty of...

Thank you for these posts. Their experiment will likely engender a local change in the weather patterns, which might could have large scale effects. Ironic, since for a while these lunatics were concerned about “climate change.” But now we are back to “preventing” global warming. . They have...

Thank you for your reply. It has helped clarify my concern. In recalling the post on soap & the Bible, it came across as a silly lead, but in rereading the thread, the hook was designed to remind us to think about the accuracy of the Bible, given its history. The thread also has a useful link...

Thank you for your post. Points A through AAAA are excellent reasons to love the Bible. Why go on and throw mud on someone who asks us illuminating questions about our faith? He is one person I would cheerfully meet after a Bible study class for more discussion. We give thanks to God after...

Thank you for your heart-wrenching post. We pray that God will comfort, strengthen, and sustain her and all of her family during this trial. We pray that God and the hospital staff will work together heal her. Amen.

Thank you for the question. The answer is ‘yes’! By washing His disciples’s feet, Jesus showed that He had come as a servant, someone who helped others, and He wanted all of His disciples to be servants to each other and everyone they met. What people do you meet every day? Family? Friends...

Thank you for the post. Comment: Many Christians believe that this pope was more political than appropriate for the Vicar of Christ. Yet, as he mentally prepared to stand in judgment, he must have rationalized his behavior. Might he have been in for a surprise this morning? Peace.

Maybe she got the idea of going after President Trump by knowing her own sordid history.

Thanks for posting these horrible findings! The root cause is that if there is no one responsible for overseeing the spending, it soon gets out of control. Probably true in all of the agencies. We also see it cities and states that are in the red, and in various universities as well...

Thank you for joining us, and welcome. To begin, you are headed in the right direction—toward God—but it sounds like you do not fully trust Him yet to care for you and care about you. Bible study can help assure you that is true. Here are a few other suggestions, which complement what...

Thank you for the post. Their culture reminds us of pre-Abrahamic Mesopotamia. They also reenforce the Apostle Paul’s observation about some of the gentiles he encountered: “although they do not know the (Mosaic) law, they behave as if the law was written on their hearts.” (Paraphrase of...

Thank you for that observation. At least it is a market economy based on persuasion, and not force. “Yes, my beliefs are set, so don’t try to parade your scriptural knowledge to get me to change.” Peace and Many Blessings.

Thank you for sharing. Regarding your question: yes. May God continue to lead you towards the light. He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 Peace.

Thank you for the update. It appears the case is actually gaining traction. Dear Lord: remind me that schadenfreude is not one of the characteristics of Love Thy Neighbor. And speak to Attny. James of the healing that repentance brings. Thy will be done. Peace

Thank for the discussion, and the opportunity to clarify important points about the relationship between God and all of humanity. Suppose we were in a forest with many different mushrooms visible. They look so good to eat. Fortunately, our Guide tells us which are nutritious and which are...
