I knew a couple who were drinking buddies and their alcoholism was shared with the result that more money was spent on alcohol than food. They were both undernourished......the wife was told by doctors to stop her drinking because her liver was very enlarged and she was running out of doctors in...
Yep...but having said that, I can honestly say that I have not known an alcohol dependent person who was not a self-medicating depressive. The downside of that is the treadmill effect of drowning those damning thoughts in alcohol and then after a drunken episode, having to deal with the shame of...
Good question......Australian is known for its love affair with alcohol...the drug of choice for those who do not believe that they are drug addicts. Any drug that takes away good sense and leads to violence or poor decision making, is not an asset in life IMO. Perhaps the fact that you feel...
Good grief you Yanks are a divisive lot :facepalm:....nothing has changed since the civil war, has it? How is stupid politics more important than family and friends? How can a disease split people down a political line? Sorry, but that just makes no sense at all to me.....:shrug:
You need a prescription for it here in Australia, so what doctor is going to prescribe something that his profession is dissing despite the success of overseas trials with a variety of treatments. Ivermectin is just one of them.
You can't dismiss one 'untested' treatment (which has been...
Right now on the south coast of NSW we are 11.5 degrees (52.7 F) and raining....
Bit different to the 27 (80 F) degrees we had last week! It’s still winter! Ridiculous!!!
We are in for a hot summer I think.....:rolleyes:
Whatever realm God occupies, all spirit creatures were created to live there. It is called “heaven” but no one really knows where or what “heaven actually is. Some were given glimpses in visions but found it difficult to describe in human terms. It is apparently a glorious place with glorious...
Genesis 3:1
“Now the serpent was the most cautious of all the wild animals of the field that Jehovah God had made....”
Here is the Jewish understanding of the serpent’s interaction with the first humans...
I guess putting the whole story into context solves that for me.
Did God lie? When he said “in the day they you eat from it, you will surely die”.....it is very apparent that the pair did not die on that day.....but upon investigation, we find that the Hebrew word “day” (yohm) can mean a...
Genesis 2:4 ties the two chapters together as one story.
The first mention of Yahweh’s (Jehovah’s) name is in verse 4 but is mentioned thereafter almost 7,000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures.
יְהֹוָ֤ה אֱלֹהִים֙ is God Yahweh. The title “God” אֱלֹהִים֙ is used in ch 1 but but his personal name...
I don't think you understand UA.....There is no train...there is no lever. God is not deciding anything...he is simply allowing the humans to reap what they have sown....standing back and observing...but not interfering in what they chose for themselves. Is he saddened by the suffering and death...
Oh my....I was going to break all my mirrors for lying to me....the person I see looking back at me is an old lady but the person inside this body is only about 30.....
I think I am just going to personally ban mirrors in my house and pretend that I am not getting old.
I am beginning to...
I'd like to see that can you post a link?
Has anyone heard of monoclonal antibodies? Apparently this treatment was the reason why the former President of the US recovered so well.
"Older adults, people with a high BMI and individuals with certain medical conditions are eligible for a...
To whom did Jesus teach us to pray...?
"Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven."
Jesus was praying to his Father...but also "OUR Father"....who was "in heaven", whilst he was on the earth. (John 20:17)...
Solomon told us that God does not interfere in our choices. Therefore there is no lever. God is controlling nothing....we are, but there is someone behind the scenes trying to influence our choices. (1 John 5:19)
By our choices we determine our own future.
Being in the wrong place at the...
Good manners? o_O I think Australia lost good manners a long time ago. We are a pretty secular country, not Christian “pretenders” like many Americans. (By that I mean those who make a pretence of being Christian, but whose lifestyle and choices prove otherwise) When Americans say “I’ll pray for...
A wise King once wrote.....
“I have seen something further under the sun, that the swift do not always win the race, nor do the mighty win the battle, nor do the wise always have the food, nor do the intelligent always have the riches, nor do those with knowledge always have success, because...
Thank you Ken....things are ridiculous here at the moment. Our health officials are still rattling on about a 70% v@x!nat!on rate and yet Israel’s failure is not being talked about. They achieved 78% and opened up everything only to find that the v!rus took off again among the v@x!nated.
Take...
