    The hatred of Jews

    Thanks for posting and summing up what he said. It's an interesting take. I've heard Sam Harris debate Jordan Petterson 3 times and a few interviews. As far as I can tell his mission is to lead everyone away from all religion and considers islam the most dangerous. Obviously physical attacks...

    The hatred of Jews

    I think the problem is our human attitude to want to believe "it's all this" or "it's all that". One "side" is always right and the other wrong. They want simple and absolutes when we're dealing with human individuals who are all imperfect; and each specific action has degrees and parts of...

    Why Won't I Vote for Trump?

    As most, I'm not happy with the two major party candidates, and have voted for "3rd parties" before. We need Rank Order Voting for all our elections. What's your own personal thoughts on voting a 3rd party in this US presidential election considering Rank Order is not yet established?

    Yes, I understand your response and your interpretation on this issue. Sorry I didn't indicate that before. We've both been repeating our opinion without acknowledging that we understand what the other person is explaining. I know you're saying the "the waters above the expanse" are either 1)...

    Why Won't I Vote for Trump?

    You should definitely get news from a range the sources. Some stories take two sides to get the picture. Most legacy media (abc/nbc/cbs) just give crumbs of the most basic news. PBS News Hour will give the most comprehensive general news (no commercial ad time), though it trends Dem party...

    Why Won't I Vote for Trump?

    Your 1st amendment rights of free speech, press, assembly and free association are the wisest tools to use to protect our 2nd amendment rights. :) But yes, the 1st and 2nd amendments are the co-pillars of our God given freedoms. (y)

    There is no "a" word in hebrew. It's added as a part of speech for the english KJV translation. There is a hebrew prefix character "הַ" (pronounced "hey") that is often used for "the". Not all the "the"s we see in the KJV of Gen 1 are there as "הַ". But that's not the point. Yes, there's one...

    Why Won't I Vote for Trump?

    I agree. Regarding our liberties and religious freedom, I believe the foremost liberty that protects all the others is free speech. There's an administration that took part in censorship, well beyond another certain admin. That will way very heavy in my decision. Based on what you said, I...

    Why Won't I Vote for Trump?

    Hi, Max! Maybe you've already answered this (if so, maybe you can link to it.). Based on this philosophy/theology, assuming you're a US citizen, and the election was today, who would you vote for president and why in general? I know your post here isn't about who to vote for; but your post...

    Actually, I should note, the Tiangong space station has greatly reduced gravity, thus the "floating visual effect", but it's not zero gravity.

    Here is a livestreamed "buoyancy without gravity experiment" completed on China's Tiangong space station 240 miles above the surface... proving there is no buoyancy with gravity. (Pingpong ball placed into a jar of water, does not float to surface.) Hey @Dino246 , do you think these guys are...

    Gen 1:14 says God made the stars to be used as signs. What stars you can/can't see in the Northern/Southern hemispheres, and the spin movement the stars make, either match a spinning spherical earth OR a flat earth. The observations have been made. And you can make these observations...

    No. You're not understanding the post nor the commentaries. In the KJV the word firmament means an expanse רְקִ֥יעַ rə-qî-a‘. It's not a capitalized proper noun like a city (Chicago), it's an expanse, an area. In the KJV, Genesis keeps referring to the sky area as a firmament/expanse or...

    That's an excellent question! I prayed about it, read some commentary and meditated on it. The commentaries helped change my mind about what I think is the best answer. I'll just start with my answer to your question and then add the relevant info and explanation. Answer: I no longer think...

    Well said. We pray for knowledge, understanding and wisdom. I think this can initially include being lead to, and gaining access to, information. Then God can help our minds/brains understanding the information we take in. Then God can help us decerns and test the information. Not all...

    Scripture Based Flat Earth Proposition

    If we are defining the "entire known universe" as the entire expanse of the stars, moon, planets and the like, then yes, I think the plain reading of Gen 1:14 and what we see of God's creation, yes, they are (or are within), the expanse/firmament.

    Let's pray about it. Let go of what we may have grasped with OUR own understanding of scripture or other sources. Let go, give it to God. This isn't about us. Let God reveal his creation to us. As Paul said, we need to stop eating baby food. Genisis reads God declared that He made the stars...
