Living, working and praying from Mars

[Lambano]

Most importantly, who would supply the thieving pigeons with Lays from gas stations???

Okay, now that cracked me up!

a counterfeit new earth. thats God's job to make a new earth.

Why didn't God have more anything to say about space, specifically, and the planets?

It seems to me the whole space race concept is nothing God ever wanted us to have anything to do with.

Maybe it falls under worship of the stellar bodies.

He did, pretty much all over Job

The Bible even describes the earth as a "sphere". Way, way before Columbus.

Job 38:31-32

“Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?"

Just an example, that's astronomy and it is cool.

Job 26:7

"He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing."

I do agree with this ^

It makes me uneasy.

And since NASA is in talks with theologians in case we come into contact with aliens, I feel even more uneasy.

What are they even doing anymore???

Ridiculous and doesn't help the world at all.

I hear there's pigs!

This looks more like a smiling hedgehog. But maybe that's what they call their hedgehogs on Mars.

By the way I’m also a big fan of candles and of course their smell. Mmmm I love it.
But for Mars I can opt out to battery-operated candles. The batteries will have to be re-chargeable of course.

My wife bought me some of those for the bathroom a few years ago. I think they kinda bite, but I used to like burning candles in the dark while taking a bath, until she got on me about "The ceiling is turning black cuz you keep burning candles in here!!!"

End of a great era.

I hear you can't burn candles on Mars either. No freedom anywhere anymore.

As a sidenote ...both frankincense and myrrh are anti-cancer.

What frankincense do you use? I have some, but I honestly don't think it smells all that great, to tell you te truth. I mean, it's aromatic and all, but I'm used to 21st century stuff, which smells a lot better IMO (I mean aside from the cancer thing).

Hey Fluffy, did a gas station pigeon run up and fly away with your avatar or what?

While we're at it, maybe we can get THEE FAITH to find one as well. Something like 20 million posts and the man never bothered to find an avatar.

I hadn't made up my mind about it yet

Do GIFs work? If so, here you go.

Oh wait, that's not a duck.... Let me see if I can find a duck doing the same thing. Hold on.

Only it's GIPHY, which means this one's out, unfortunately. Looks just like you, though.

Also a GIPHY, but this seems to bring out your character as well.

Well, I just find one that's organic. I can look up the brand in a bit. I don't use it for the amazing smell. It's not a perfume. lol
I use it for it's medicinal properties and it's great for the skin ....taken internally, boswellia (Indian frankincense) is also anto cancer and anti inflammatory.

Well, because incense is important for prayer.
Imagine having a Catholic and a Protestant in a base on Mars. Oh man, you’re asking for trouble right there.

It depends on who it is....

 

[Taken]

This is how a potential living interior of a base in Mars could look like.
This would be awesome. I imagine myself there with my own corner of prayer icons and candles and incense.

The whole concept is CREEPY.

Oh. Ok, Lol.

I was going for the fragrance thing. Wasn't that its primary purpose back then, or no? (I would look it up, but since you seem up on the subject, I figure I'll just let you tell me).

Well, it was used as perfume, as well as incense. And I use it in diffusers as well, with lavender and other oils.

 

[Taken]

it has to be strong.

Incense was to be Sweet Incense, giving off a Sweet odor.
We know dead body’s were packed with sweet spices because of the Stench.
Wonder if the common man in Ancient days, (living in a desert), smelled pleasant inside of the Temple? Just saying. ;)

The point of the Incense, (likely to keep the stink of sweaty men tolerable)...was spiritually, to understand, The Temple was a House of Prayer, and the SMOKE of the incense RISING UP, to be a reminder of PRAYERS to God RISING UP to Heaven.

Is that the pig that was determined to eat Tim Allen?

Hmmm...I must have missed that. Was it real, or in a movie?
