Our Sunday school is having a little sleepover and my wife wants to show them a movie. Any recommendations?

I enjoyed it. Written like a biblical game of thrones without all that gratuitous game of thrones stuff. Who doesn’t like the story of David and Goliath? I think even Muslims like the story of David and Goliath

I agree to the extent that some people are fans of actors and want to know what they wear, what they eat, where they go, etc. the main difference I see is actors don’t view themselves as an ordained authority on how people should live their lives. TV, movies, music, sports are just...

The guy is more religious than I am. He’s more of a god’s wrath on the wicked kind of religious than the be kind to the least of us. He’s probably a member of this forum. I’m a little conflicted because God gave us domain over the animals. I’m fairly confident he’s not doing it to be cruel, or...

Was on another thread and the topic came up about animals in heaven. I don’t like taking a thread sideways so decided to start a new one. The basic argument was animals have soul and when they die they go to heaven. It might not be the same heaven humans go to, but they too reunite with God. A...

Part 2 is are our beliefs the simulation code? First of all, the simulation would have started on day 6 with Adam. How could God have written in the universe and all the laws of physics without Adam’s beliefs? If the simulation changes as our beliefs change, was the earth flat until someone...

It will all come to end on earth eventually. For earth to become lifeless, it would would take the sun gobbling us up or God decides to pull the plug. I don’t think it would be nukes b/c the roaches and tardigrades would still survive. It wouldn’t be an asteroid or AI or zombies. The end of...

There’s animals in heaven? That’s reason enough to go. But that’s beside the point. I get why the Vatican started to preach hell is for humans. If you just cease to exist when you die, then there really is no difference. You should live right regardless. It matters what you do in this life, for...

You got that I don’t believe in hell from that?

I see it more equivalent to if a child chooses to ignore their loving parent, does the parent tie them to the bed, douse the house with gasoline, and just before they strike the match tells them ‘I will always love you’?

In my short time on this forum I’ve learned that ppl are so quick to question your faith, to label you and put you in little boxes. We’re talking about a simulation and you question my Bible IQ. If I didn’t read the Bible I wouldn’t be here. And out of nowhere you attack trans as if they’re not...

At first I brushed off this thread but decided to give it a go and I’m glad I did. It got me thinking and I have some questions. First let’s go over the simulation aspect. If I followed correctly we’re all in heaven, in a classroom and God wants to learn about evil so we appreciate love, puts us...

The Bible isn’t known for its humor, but did you read a passage that made you chuckle? When I read Isiah 1:11-14 I laughed out loud. I was completely caught off guard with the content, tone, and uncharacteristic behavior. We’re supposed to be created in his image. That was closest I ever saw...

Was wondering the same thing and found this thread. I was reading Micah and he says in 7:18 ‘there is no other God like you’. And I wonder why he wouldn’t say ‘You are the God’ or something to the effect that there is only one. Then I thought about the commandment to ‘worship no other god but...

Thank you. Romans 13 never did sit quite right with me. It seemed like a paid endorsement of the Roman Empire., like one of those unskipable ads that pops up in your utube video. Now that you folks have explained it I feel much better. Although, the bottom line seems to be follow the govt...

I read psalm 119, and I think here is guy begging God to help him. God has punished him before for his transgressions and now he’s obedient. There’re people intending to kill him, and those people do not obey God. He mentions God’s promises to him, and that time is of the essence. All of the...

1 Timothy might be my favorite. I think Paul was referring to the time in his life where he persecuted Christians for money.

I don’t quite see the debate or Christian perspective, but why do you ask? It’s actually how weight loss happens. You breathe in oxygen, O2, and exhale carbon dioxide, CO2. The C comes from the breakdown of hydrocarbons (carbs, fats, and proteins).

Which book?

I have yet to find a version of the Bible that does not use the exact word ‘perish’. You’ve decided to substitute it with ‘hell’ and I don’t think that’s correct. I have yet to find a definition ‘perish’ that means hell or eternal suffering. The end result will be only 1 of 2 things, eternal...
