I’m curious, @YoursTrue : you at one time were a believer in the Jewish faith, right?
Did you ever wonder about the “serpent” in Genesis 3? Because the Hebrew Scriptures shed no light on the subject.
Only the Greek (NT) Scriptures do.
The reason why God has allowed bad things to happen:

It depends on if you are happy now.
For the majority of mankind, considering all the problems that now exist, I’d say the answer would be no.
A positive hope, based on a reliable source, can help a person to deal with trials more effectively.
Hope you’re well.
I appreciate your kindness.
Just keep our brotherhood in your prayers.
I remember you said you had a stroke. If you don’t mind me asking, what all was affected?
“Explanations” are not “demonstrations”, are they?
My response was concerning the statement that “all the examples of irreducible complexity proposed by the Discovery Institute have been demonstrate[d] by science to be as a result of natural processes.”
Where are these so-called...
A “DIR” means “Discuss Individual Religions”: no debate is allowed. Although respectful questions should be allowed….because to “discuss” something, is a two-way street: it requires dialogue.
Hope you’re well, my brother.

I keep hearing this, but I’ve never seen any credible demonstrations; except the “mouse-trap-reduced-to-tie-clasp” one.
Counter-arguments aren’t demonstrations.
Wasn’t SETI a scientific endeavor?
They were searching for evidence of intelligence. How? What were these scientists looking for?
(It’s really not that difficult.)
Well see, here’s the thing:
If I told you that if you (…. insert action here….) then you’re gonna die today, and that’s all I said, without any further explanation, how would you think I meant that? (I’d also be assuming that you knew what death was, right?)
Keep in mind…
That is all God...
Sorry for not replying quickly…. I’ve got a lot going on.
I know that even many religious ones, while believing the Bible is Divine, don’t accept the A&E account as literal.
But at Matthew 19:4-6, we can see that Jesus did.
Plus, Luke’s genealogical account in chapter 3, has genuine...
