    Supreme Court Birth control

    I support the belief of the Catholic Church on Birth Control. Today I am glad that the Supreme Court ruled the way they did because I consider birth control to be dangerous and this is a win for women not to be subjected to something with the potential to harm them and their child. Yet with...

    Black Lives Matters?

    IF Black Lives Matter then why are they not anti-abortion? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released an Abortion Surveillance Report. White women are five times less likely to have an abortion than black women...

    Be fruitful, and multiply

    "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth". (Genesis 1:28) Man was told to be fruitful and...

    Behold, it was very good.

    Genesis Chapter one talks about how God created all of Creation. They say a day is a literal "24" hour day. Yet contained within that day is all time and all ages. Also we have not yet seen the perfect day. At the end of Chapter one we are told: "Behold, it was very good". "God saw everything...

    Is God Good?

    Everyone may have a different answer for this and that is fine. In the Bible we read about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This and the tree of life. I wonder: is good and evil balanced? Is there as much good as there is evil in this world? In the law of thermodynamics we have...

    Anastasia Lin Human Rights Activist in China

    I was listening to a 12 min video and she talks about how prisoners in China are basically given the status of organ donors. In some cases they give their life when they donate their organ. In a way the same thing happens when we eat an animal. That animal has to give it's life so we can eat and...

    Francis Collins is the Director of the National Institute of Health. The NIH has a budget of $41.46 billion dollars. (Collins is a leading Theistic Evolutionist - I have read at least one of his books.) Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. said. "The NIH [National Institutes of Health] gives a $3.7...

    Wuhan Institute of Virology

    "Just today (April 18), the vice director of WIV Zhiming Yuan CGTN, the Chinese state broadcaster, said "there is no way this virus came from us," NBC News reported. "We have a strict regulatory regime and code of conduct of research, so we are confident." If we look at their own photos of...

    No more Pig Meat!

    The Bible says not to eat pigs or shelled fish and I don't. I warn people not to eat pork but no one pays any attention. At least not until they get grout and the doctor tells them to cut back on that stuff. Now I see they are closing down a big plant because of 300 people that have the virus. I...

    Genesis 3:16 He will rule over you.

    "To the woman He said: “I will sharply increase your pain in childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” (Genesis 3:16) We are told that: "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law" (Galations 3:13) Does this mean that...

    Rapture

    We are told that: "Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless" (Ephesians 5:26,27) If...

    Melchizedek

    For a long time now I have been trying to understand Melchizedek. Now I find out that Melchizedek is talked about in the Book of Jasher and the Book of Enoch. We are told Melchizedek is the oldest son of Noah's oldest son. His priesthood goes back to Adam. The belief here is that Adam was a King...

    The Age of the Universe

    This is coming up in multiple posts. It would be a lot easier to give the topic it's own thread. According to Dr. Gerald Schroeder "The world may be only some 6000 years old. God could have put the fossils in the ground and juggled the light arriving from distant galaxies to make the world...

    The Stones would cry out.

    ""if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." Luke 19:40 Anyone want to give a try at explaining what Jesus is talking about here? This winter I have been working on balancing river stones. I have done a lot of construction work so it goes pretty fast. I can balance four or five stones in...

    In the twinkle of an eye.

    "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye" (1Cor 15:52) I have some river rocks that I bought to put out by my little fish pond. I get bored this time of year so I have been stacking them up to balance them. Even I put a little glue on them to hold them together for a while. If it gets to many...

    Could Paul be disqualified?

    "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway." (1Cor9:27) Is it really possible that after preaching to others Paul himself could be disqualified? Clearly Paul was preaching and teaching the...

    Amnon hated Tamar

    "Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred. In fact, he hated her more than he had loved her. Amnon said to her, "Get up and get out!" (2Samuel13:15) When we read this scripture we are impressed with the intensity. The reason is that we are told three times that he "hated her" and even a fourth...

    It is NOT good for man to live alone.

    In Genesis 2:18 we read: "The LORD God said, "It is NOT good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." In the verse before this 2:17 we read: "but you must NOT eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil". We see this word NOT in Genesis 2:5: " for the LORD God had...

    Health, Wealth & Prosperity

    My wife believes that Health is Wealth. A person would give all of their wealth in order to have good health. The question centers more on prosperity and how do we define Bible Prosperity. Even the NIV wants to use this word in Jeremiah 29:16 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the...

    Adam and Eve: The First Love Story

    This is actually the title of a best selling book written by Bruce Feiler. I just got the book today and I have not read it yet. Although he does have a hour long video on YouTube where he talks about this subject. In another thread I was asked the question about what made Adam and Eve's...
