I agree with that too. We were all once "Mr Worldly Wiseman" at one time or another. Before we discovered Faith and Hope. Then we realised our wisdom was like filthy rags. Unlearning takes bravery and courage only the Holy Spirit can provide as you need strength not to run with the crowd.

If someone said that to me, I think I would probably say. "When we know where it ends? How do you know where it ends or even if it does really end? You cannot prove that either? Its not even logic to claim such a thing and if you think it ends, what if you are wrong? You gamble through lack of...

Absolutely great answer. I often now challenge any Atheist who goes for me but saying "which part of the Bible don't you like?" For instance, if you ask them how come Job knows so much about what scientists have only just found out, on how the world was made, yet this was the oldest book in...

Again, there is only one question in politics. How do you stop corruption? If there was no corruption, Government Law would only have two laws; Love your God and Love your Neighbour. It is pretty obvious if they do neither. If any party or leader is corrupt the whole system is rotten. Having...

So true. I think politics can work if you have honest and God fearing leaders and when things get too "left" they often swing "right" and back again. Who really knows what the world would be like if we had leaders who actually did things without greed collectively and for the benefit of the...

Yup you are right Magenta - sorry about that.

Because the languages have become confused, "Communism” means different things now. He certainly is a critic of anti-capitalism and anti-imperialist movements. Some have called him anti-American because of that but probably because he speaks out about neoliberalism. He seems to advocate that...

Just out of interest, Norman Chomsky said the modern day definition of "class" is defined by who gives the orders and who follows them in politics.

Anyone, any class, working, middle or upper, had better prepare for the changes coming in 2020. Some even say, like the Armstrong Economics Model, late January 2020 is predicted for a massive downturn economically and that usually starts with the banks and the stock market which has been...

I think it depends on which part of the world you live - for instance, a working class person who won the lottery and then drove flash cars and lived in a stately home would never be called "upper class" in England. By themselves maybe but they wouldn't be regarded as that in the UK as it has a...

If you are suggesting the barter system is better than the capitalist system, in theory yes it is. But is it possible? If the barter system was done on earth, much in the way of the 1930s film “Our Daily Bread”, where goods are made for use instead of profit, then that would truly be the Kingdom...

Great lyrics Lynx. Sure I agree that confidence comes through practice. I think discipline comes through practice as well and habit. Tightrope walking though?....em, I reckon that is a good example of 100% confidence as they surely need pure blind faith to do that! What do you sing in the car...

You just keep on going with that MFR. Yes, it helps to have encouragement but there are plenty of examples of those who had none and still succeeded (whatever succeed means). John Lennon only had two strings on his ropy old guitar when he met Paul, but he didn't give up, nor did he have a...

Hey Faithrequired. I think Faith is indeed required in learning something and doing 20 mins a day WILL make you better at it, but of course if put your “heart” in it and you really want to do it, application and concentration will help you focus. Then you will probably go further than 20...

They say 5000 hours of anything makes you an expert. 10,000 hours of something makes you a “genius” in your subject. Does practice make perfect? I play the piano among other things and my family are all musical. My parents were big into music when I was growing up and when I didn't want to do...

I think the word “Middle Class” is used in economics and in the financial world to determine a set of people and has to be defined by money in the end. Most people might think they are middle class are not, as the costs of staying in the middle class are going up. Growing up, the middle class...

"aye, there’s the rub!"

Moses disobeyed God plenty of times, probably to show that men are not perfect only God is perfect in his ways. Moses killed and buried a man in the sand, struck the rock when he was told not to etc and made mistakes so much so that he never got to enter the Promised Land. Quite a big deal after...

Not necessarily. Jesus was standing alone when his thoughts and deeds were questioned. Just because you are the only one in the room thinking one way, doesn't mean you are wrong. Just sayin...

One things for sure, any "angry atheist" who starts attacking a believer hasn't a leg to stand on when you ask them if they have actually read the Bible? In fact, I always ask when they read the book, so they have to deny they have. They have no idea what is in it, cannot even talk about the...
