    I’m trying to reconcile what scripture says with the common belief that abortion is murder. Can anyone point me to scripture that builds that gap?

    Life begins at conception. Left alone, the foetus develops into a fully formed infant. When Mary announced that she was pregnant, the then unborn John the baptist leapt in Elizabeth's womb. He was conscious. The insanity of the Western world is that the population is aging and not being...

    looking for help reconciling the Sabbath with common observation?

    Again you misinterpret the place of the law. Being led by the Spirit means that we do not follow the lusts of the flesh. You do not have to tell the Holy Spirit not to steal or murder. If you are being led by the Spirit, holy and righteous behaviour becomes normal, not the exception. Law brings...

    looking for help reconciling the Sabbath with common observation?

    There is a new law, the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. The Levitical laws that Israel were required to obey covered every aspect of life. Those laws were never given to Gentiles. "Hear Oh Israel.........." remember that bit in the Bible? Now if you are a Jew, then that's fine. You...

    looking for help reconciling the Sabbath with common observation?

    Tell me how many Gentiles obeyed the sabbath throughout history. Did God not write that particular law on their hearts? You forget the purpose of the law. It is to bring us to Christ. Then its done its job. "For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God." Galatians 2:19...

    looking for help reconciling the Sabbath with common observation?

    You do not understand the place of the law. You are also wrong about believers following the Sabbath. You need a history lesson as well as studying God's word. By the way, the NT is not the gospels. It began the night Jesus was betrayed.

    looking for help reconciling the Sabbath with common observation?

    The Law of Moses never applied to gentiles. End of story. Acts 15. Much of Paul's writing was intended to defend against those who would seek to impose law on believers. Either you live according to law or you live by grace. There is no in between. Worship on Saturday if you wish. It's not...

    How would you answer the question, “What is lucky?”

    Nope. Nothing "just happens". The ancients recognised this even thought they sought "luck" from exactly the wrong source. It's why they offered sacrifices to false gods and worshiped them. Satan has power even over nature. He sent the storm that Lord Jesus rebuked. You don't rebuke something...

    How would you answer the question, “What is lucky?”

    "Luck" is a satanic "blessing" that is in reality a curse. Most people who win big on the lottery get little real benefit and some regret it.

    How would you answer the question, “What is lucky?”

    Luck is a concept from Greek idolatrous religion. It goes against the Word of God. "Luck" depends on the whim of a demonic power. God's way is reaping what you sow. (Galatians 6:7). One well known, very successful Aussie was asked about her luck. She replied, "It's funny, the harder I work, the...

    looking for help reconciling the Sabbath with common observation?

    You will not change the minds of the legalists. I've tried. God's word means little to them unless it fits in with their religious disposition. They are happy to ignore whatever else God's word has to say.

    Led by the Spirit

    My Bible says to be led by the Spirit. I don't know why you want to dispute that.

    Wars and rumors of war.

    Obviously you've not been listening to Putin and Lavrov. They have made it absolutely clear that taking complete control of Ukraine is Putin's objective. Putin has said openly that the end of the USSR was a tragedy and needed to be reversed. Russia has spent nearly 5 years attempting to...

    Led by the Spirit

    I was a borderline alcoholic before I was saved. Alcohol affects the part of the brain that includes the ability to navigate. I have a terrible sense of direction. Even with a map, I struggle. Since much of my working life involved driving, it was a real pain. Life became so much easier when I...

    Pros and Cons of Australia.

    Bin Chicken is an Ibis. Strangely, they don't get into rubbish bins in Victoria. Sydney must have a better class of rubbish than we do. We get many cockatoos in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. They can be a real pain. We get galahs as well. We often get rosellas and rainbow lorikeets, stunningly...

    Wars and rumors of war.

    "Real war emerging". What a crock. Putin declared war on Ukraine when it invaded and has been engaged in guerilla war with Europe also. I do not for the life of me understand why Europe sits on the sidelines while Ukraine defends Europe against Putin's delusion of creating a Russian empire...

    Man imputed Jesus with sin on the cross, not God.

    "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” Galatians 3:13 Jesus poured out His soul to death, Isaiah 53:12 Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush Him and to cause Him to suffer; and when His soul is made...

    Pros and Cons of Australia.

    Dingoes were imported by Aborigines, apparently. They are wild dogs and not to be messed with. They are not especially big. Tasmanian Devils. Nasty little beasts a bit smaller than cats. Wombats. Nature's bulldozers. Kangaroos. Unique. Quokkas. Super friendly. About the size of a cat. A tiny...

    Pros and Cons of Australia.

    Could not agree more. Oddly, it was mostly women who turned against Lindy. You would think that they would be sympathetic.

    Pros and Cons of Australia.

    Funny, I've lived here since 1966. I was not forcefully immunised. Australia is huge, with both federal and state governments. Most people live in coastal areas. There is everything from desert to rainforest. I'll tell you what we don't have. We don't need to teach our children how to hide from...

    Pros and Cons of Australia.

    I found out a little more since my last comment. The case against Lindy was blown open when the child's matinee jacket was discovered near a Dingo den. Shows you how much I know. I did not know that Dingoes had dens. So the best explanation is also the one that Lindy presented initially.
