    Anyone interested in foraging?

    I was wondering if anyone here was also interested in the benefits of micro biodiversity within their body created through foraging? Like finding edible wild plants and fungi?

    Is Working Out Circumventing God’s Design?

    I don’t think it’s vanity to work out. Many enjoy it for their own personal fulfillment of Gaining speed and strength and enjoy it as a past time verses watching tv. It’s also not wrong to want to create a better body to attract a certain type of mate. Wanting to look better to help open doors...

    I voted for Obama in his second election. I voted for Trump in the last election. I’m not voting for either in this up coming election. For the one after this next one, who I vote for depends on the issues at hand thst seem most relevant to me. Unless the Republican Party begins to take some...

    Can a person leave hell and go to Heaven? Is There Salvation Without Mary? Is she the mother of our Salvation?

    Can a person leave hell and go to heaven? No. Once you get taken out of Hades and judged by your deeds and are found without your name in the book of life you are sentenced to hell and destroyed. Mary plays no role personally on someone’s salvation. Is Mary the mother of our salvation? As in...

    How Should Christians Vote?

    No abortion is not a issue for me. For a fact I believe there is biblical Support for It. However, I’ll get to that later on. I am working on a few other posts first. Then I’ll dig into showing what is said, and what is not said, concerning murder including how Jews looked at the stages of life...

    It is not a sin to lie to do what is right - but is a sin when done to do what is wrong

    Even a outright lie was considered righteousness such as when Rahab lied. It’s the secret motive of the heart God sees.

    Hola! 😃

    Definitely. When I started getting just a handful of good close friends and mentors, all great brothers in Christ, it really helped me. The other thing that really helped was carrying out the great commission and approaching others and asking them to study the Bible and hear the gospel. Then...

    Hola! 😃

    Hello Yami. I also just joined. In addition to online groups have you also tried to reach out to local disciples in congregations? The church I am currently going to, although great, also is 80% 60+ year olds and I’m 31. The few others my age are not as big into the things I enjoy like hiking in...

    Does the Tanakh teach how Cain killed Abel? A simple case study of contextual analysis and probability.

    Well I’m sorry for misunderstanding. It’s a common objection tossed at me that because I believe some of the Bible is symbolic based on the text, and then use science to further support it , that I somehow don’t have real faith or study when in reality I study the Bible daily, I spend hours over...

    BioLogos?

    Lol. That makes no sense.... Your statement was that I should have made this in the Bible studies section. I replied I have made other posts there but did not see the need for this one to be there since it was an inquiry if anyone here was into theistic evolution or part of the BioLogos...

    How do I respond to my skeptic daughter?

    You’re welcome. For me realizing that was one of the best lessons I learned through prayer and studying out real science. when a younger person is false right that to be Christians means you must reject science and believe in a 10k year old earth and so on it can be confusing. Especially as...

    Does the Tanakh teach how Cain killed Abel? A simple case study of contextual analysis and probability.

    Yes you made several false statements when you tried to infer that my interpretation meant not believing in God or the Bible. That was 100% wrong.

    How Should Christians Vote?

    And what about all the good things that the left generally pushes? Often it seems the right wants to save babies up until they are born. The right also seems way more in syncs with the mindsets of the confederacy. Which is probably why those states typically have very similar maps. Both sides...

    How Should Christians Vote?

    Neither party is a Christian party. There is no such thing as a Christian nation or a Christian political party. Also Christian theocracy is not supported. You can vote republican or democrat. You can have more socialist views or not. There are dozens of issues that both sides support that are...

    BioLogos?

    I guess I would have to see the specific journal and read it. Here are several blogs and stuff though from the outreach I mentioned. https://biologos.org/resources?query=flood&hierarchicalMenu%5Btopics.lvl0%5D=Bible%20%3E%20The%20Flood&page=1

    BioLogos?

    I have a few there. This was more of a intro about where I am coming from as far as my faith goes. I’ll blur lines a bit within discussion frameworks but I mostly Keep it compartmentalized and fairy marrow in subjects.

    Does the Tanakh teach how Cain killed Abel? A simple case study of contextual analysis and probability.

    Later on because it’s such a large topic made up of a series of topics I’ll make separate threads for each one. Again it has absolutely nothing to do with doubting God. After all I believe in a resurrection. I believe in God. So automatically, it sets me up in the camp to believe in the...

    Does the Tanakh teach how Cain killed Abel? A simple case study of contextual analysis and probability.

    The first place to stay is how the story is written. When you read genesis 1-11, with all its play on names, play on words, extreme situations, and spanning thousands of years with relatively little information. Then read through the entire rest of the Torah and see does it carry the same...

    Does the Tanakh teach how Cain killed Abel? A simple case study of contextual analysis and probability.

    You made several false statements that are way off the mark. Seeing the clearly ahistorical nature of genesis 1-11 based on literary analysis is not the same as not believing it . Take revelation. is revelation literal? If not then does that mean you doubt it and don’t believe it? Or what...
