All children are born under condemnation because they are the progeny of fallen Adam & Eve, have inherited Adam's original sin and have a sin nature. (This condemnation is actually a blessing because it means we are canidates for salvation.) But children who die before reaching the age of...

I use to keep snakes and lizards as pets when I was young so I got use to handling them etc. Where I currently live I see snakes fequently. These are harmless and I go out of my way to protect them because they eat bugs and slugs in my garden. But I know people who jump out of their socks if...

I'm no expert on dieting as I never really thought I needed to do that. I ate whatever and stayed reasonably thin. But now that I'm getting older I am less active and more prone to put on weight. I am trying the Dr Gundry diet. It emphasises eliminating lectins found in grain based products...

I watched the whole video. Pretty scary stuff. Makes me wonder though, since I believe God controls history to accomplish His own will and plan for mankind, that we could be very near to the end of this age. God is certainly not going to allow AI to take over humanity, just as He will not...

Something else occurred to me. If you watch almost any current movie in the evening chances are it has some disturbing or anxious moments in it. This doesn't help you sleep! Try reading a book in the evening before going to bed. I find it much more relaxing.

If I'm too toasty warm I have trouble falling asleep, so I like to get chilled somehow, then I can curl up and fall asleep. Also I sometimes imagine a fantasy scenario like winning 10 million dollars in the lottery and think about what would I do with the money. I think because I know it is a...

There is something to be said for frozen food. Frozen food may be fresher than store bought "fresh". Why? Because it is harvested and frozen all on the same day, whereas "fresh" veg has been trucked to the store and left on display for a long time before you finally buy it, take it home...

Eat at least one big salad every day. Eat less protein (your kidneys can handle only so much). Avoid eating anything with refined sugar like it was poison. And if you want to lose weight, stop eating all forms of grain - bread, crackers, oatmeal, rice. When you get the munchies eat carrots...

R Road The road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the road has gone, and I must follow it if I can, pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way, where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. (poem by J. R. R...

The farmer who sold it to you laughed all the way to the bank!

I watched the video and recommend it to everyone. This is really about the evil of religious organizations. Religion was invented by Satan as a substitute for a real relationship with God based on grace. This video about child abuse within organized religion could have been about many other...

I have this posted on my desktop computer: "but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Php 3:13-14

We belong to Him. Where you hang your hat really doesn't matter. This passage came to mind: Heb 11:8-10 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he lived as an...

Sounds like you are looking for substance, a solid foundation for your basic belief in Christ. I suggest you look for a church where the emphasis is on sound, in-depth Bible teaching. You won't get this in an emotion based church. I don't think you will ever regret leaving emotionalism for...

You should give us a brief summary of what this video is about and how long it is. I won't even click on it without some idea of what this is about, who the speaker is, and what qualifies him to speak on this subject.

Our faith is not in our knowledge of God, it is in the person of God revealed by the absolute truth of scripture. As our knowledge of God increases through the intake of accurately taught scripture, our faith in the person of God increases. This faith in the person of God can increase to the...

These are the ones I still have in the approximate order I aquired them. Early on I had a paperback "Good News for Modern Man" which I probably wore out or gave away a long time ago. The version I typically use now is NAS. KJV - pocket size Scofield Reference Bible - KJV New English Bible...

A Christian's faith is not blind. It is based on what we know and understand from the scriptures. As disciples we collect and learn facts from our study of the scriptures. We learn such things as the character and essence of God; the historical reality of the life of Christ, His death...

Cain married a sister. At that early time in human history it wasn't a problem.

My answer is pretty simple. If you believe church you are going to is teaching false doctrine, wait for the service to end, leave and never go back. You don't gossip about the pastor, you don't confront him, you don't try to take other people with you. You just leave and find a church you...
