    Syncretism.....Can Mixing Religious Ideas Lead to the Truth?

    You see...no one can convince anyone against their will. If you are confident in your position then who am I to argue with your viewpoint? You are free to believe as you wish....as am I. It’s all about our choices...isn’t it? But just FYI, there is a “bigger war” coming...it’s called...

    Death. Does it really matter when or is it just superficial?(only important to us)

    I thought we were talking about animal behavior....? :shrug:

    What resources can help us understand your religious or non-theist beliefs?

    Some of my favorites are..... Our new interactive Bible Study Program.....Enjoy Life Forever. https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/ What Does the Bible Really Teach? https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/bible-teach/ When Someone You Love Dies...

    Some questions about evolution (genetics etc) and possible implications for creationism

    Or the fact that language is still language no matter who speaks it.....it doesn't evolve into telepathy. And a mousetrap would be useless unless its simple components were put together in the right order by someone with half a brain and opposable thumbs. So how do you explain the many complex...

    Some questions about evolution (genetics etc) and possible implications for creationism

    Beneficial mutations are counted on way more than is actually observable to science though...... No genetic mutation will take any creature outside of its taxonomy. "Speciation" is a misleading term because there are not really any new "species"...only new varieties of a single species that is...

    Death. Does it really matter when or is it just superficial?(only important to us)

    Its all there in Genesis actually..... The creative "days" were not 24 hour periods as scientists will confirm....we live on an ancient planet which had ancient creatures now long extinct. The Hebrew word "yohm" (day) has more than one meaning. It can be a 24 hour period, or it can be a period...

    Death. Does it really matter when or is it just superficial?(only important to us)

    I think the Bible answers things quite simply and that too many people overthink everything and make it complicated. The dual nature of man makes him unique. But why is he alone created in the image of his Maker? Why was he alone given access to a means to keep him alive forever in his mortal...

    Give me a good reason for not leaving RF

    Like many of us with beliefs that tend to ruffle the feathers of the 'unbelievers', you stand out as a man of principle and integrity and many of us admire your faith and commitment....even if we disagree with your beliefs. I personally admire your gentle and caring nature. If you enjoy some...

    Death. Does it really matter when or is it just superficial?(only important to us)

    They did witness death.....animals had a limited lifespan in a natural cycle of life and death, so in the years that God educated Adam before his wife’s creation, he would have witnessed many examples of death. It is the opposite of life. Adam knew exactly what death meant.

    Death. Does it really matter when or is it just superficial?(only important to us)

    Your diet is your conscious choice....a result of your own reasoning. But we humans have to teach our little ones what to eat, and we have to be careful to watch over them because just about anything will go in their mouths..... :eek: Learning about food is very important because we need a...

    Death. Does it really matter when or is it just superficial?(only important to us)

    Ummmm...it’s called hunger, a present reality that demands the animal’s attention in the present......and an animal knows from past experience where his food comes from and will return to that food source. I also speak from experience..... My dog knows when it’s dinner time and will remind me...

    Syncretism.....Can Mixing Religious Ideas Lead to the Truth?

    After discussing the destruction due to come upon the city of Jerusalem, Jesus made the statement: “And Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations, until the appointed times of the nations [“times of the Gentiles,” KJ, RS] are fulfilled.” (Lu 21:24) The period indicated by the expression...

    Researchers Find COVID Mutations in NYC Sewage, Pointing to Possible Dog, Rat Infections

    You know what I don't understand? If the Delta strain that is taking off in Australia at present can be spread by walking past someone at a distance, or breathing the same air in a hotel corridor, why do we need invasive testing to see if we have the virus? Isn't that the reason why we are told...

    Death. Does it really matter when or is it just superficial?(only important to us)

    Humans are the only ones who can measure the behavior of other species and compare them....no others have the intellect to do that. Human scientists devote much time and energy to studying and analyzing animal behavior. Look at David Attenborough.....:) Can you provide examples of how our...

    Syncretism.....Can Mixing Religious Ideas Lead to the Truth?

    It’s one thing to be different to others in our approach to worship, but another thing entirely to make up your own rules. One cannot be a church of one who has themselves as their teacher. The congregational arrangement was outlined clearly by Jesus (in his address to the congregations in...

    Syncretism.....Can Mixing Religious Ideas Lead to the Truth?

    “The whore of Babylon” I believe encompasses all religion that embraces Babylonian religious concepts, which makes them all part of “Babylon the great”. Those concepts include a multiplicity of gods (like trinities)....belief in a continuation of life after death (an immortal soul)....and a...

    Syncretism.....Can Mixing Religious Ideas Lead to the Truth?

    If we believe that....“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17 NASB) then what it says will override any flawed human...

    Death. Does it really matter when or is it just superficial?(only important to us)

    All creatures (including humans) that consume food are driven by hunger and thirst.....a forced form of survival without which we would certainly die. But wild animals are those who consume prey and are skilled hunters, never taking more than they need. Not all wild animals are hunters...
