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

    I think you are mistaking instinct for planned activity. Animals are programmed for their instinctive behaviours. Squirrels don’t plan to store food for the winter, they just do it by instinct, triggered by a change in seasons. Bears don’t hibernate because they plan to....it is a programmed...

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

    What precipitates an attack? Isn’t it hunger, something that triggers the need to kill prey to satisfy that hunger? For the vast majority of predatory animals, the kill is only driven by present hunger, not a plan to kill. Animals can detect a change in behavior in their human owners that they...

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

    History supports the Bible when we see rulers, dates and historical places. In fact the Bible has often been corroborated when historians believed that it was wrong. What books about God we all know? If there is a God who inspired the Bible then all we need to know is contained in its...

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

    We humans are apparently the only species in existence who can contemplate their own death. That is because we are unique in being able to imagine things in our mind as a possible outcome in the future. Animals live in the present, without a concept of what will happen down the track.They do not...

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

    Daniel's prophesies foretold when the Messiah would come....so when Jesus began his ministry in 29CE, people were expecting him. John the Baptist was the one who came to prepare the way for him just six months prior. He would be cut off after three and a half years that is exactly when he was...

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

    I was addressing the point you raised about why there was a "restorationist vibe" around that time.....it was prophesied to happen when it did. The "topic" was about syncretic beliefs and apparently not too many can see that Christendom is a very eclectic mix of different beliefs adopted from...

    New study finds Bible mistranslation concerning homosexuality

    Yes...its called justification......the Bible doesn't really say what it clearly says because they want to justify homosexual sex. If God say you can't eat cake, then calling it bread doesn't make any difference.....:rolleyes:

    New study finds Bible mistranslation concerning homosexuality

    How you responded to the report is up to you. You have a tendency to read into people's posts things that they did not intend.....everything seems to be so black and white with you.....the whole of my post was my response, not one part of one sentence. I am not into one liners as you well...

    Jehovah Witness.Were in the bible is the first recoded person who fell asleep in death?

    Exactly.....and since there was no mention of any "life after death" in Genesis, everyone after Adam's sin who died, "fell asleep" in death.....thereafter to await the resurrection to either spirit life in heaven for those who are chosen to rule as "kings and priests" with Christ (Revelation...

    The Leftist 'No Religion' agenda on the census

    I see it as a bit generational as well.....I wouldn’t call it deliberate sabotage though. When I was filling out our census last night online, and it came to religion, my mum said she was C of E even thought he hasn’t set foot in a church for about 75 years (she is a “with it” 97 year old) When...

    These people...

    Yep....I have wondered about that too. Whenever I have stumbled across infomercials whilst channel surfing, I want to know why marketers infer that the average mentality of their viewers is about that of a 4 year old. Women can’t even dust or clean without the product that these people want to...

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

    It was time for the “reawakening”, which was a time of “cleansing, whitening and purifying’ of God’s worship for “the time of the end”.....this was foretold to take place in the early 20th century.....but the stirrings were taking place at the close of the 1800’s, so that when Christ returned...

    New study finds Bible mistranslation concerning homosexuality

    I’d like this response to address @Orbit’s post as well..... I am not remotely interested in any report by any person or group that seeks to undermine God’s law on sexual immorality. These laws are set in concrete IMO. Mistranslation? What absolute nonsense! There can be no justification for...

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

    It wasn't God who dug the 'many shallow wells'....it was his adversary, trying to gain custody of the children that he kidnapped from the Father.....giving them 'candy' and promising them freedom. Each form of worship is designed to appeal to a human heart.....there are many different things...

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

    And I am talking to a Christian? o_O.......Perhaps you need to change your religious identification? If there is no Bible...there is no God and there is no Jesus? Everything we know about him and his son is from the pages of that one book. It is all we have and that is why we need faith. You...

    New study finds Bible mistranslation concerning homosexuality

    How do you change God's mind on this issue? We can justify it all we want to, but nothing changes what is specifically stated.... Leviticus 18:22 says... "You shall not lie down with a male, as with a woman: this is an abomination. כב וְאֶ֨ת־זָכָ֔ר לֹ֥א תִשְׁכַּ֖ב מִשְׁכְּבֵ֣י אִשָּׁ֑ה...

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

    A lot has happened since our brother Russell passed away.....things that he hoped for have come to fruition. He was not the founder of our faith, but one of a group of men who came together in the late 1890’s with one purpose.....to find the truth of God’s word. As a gifted public speaker, he...
