I'm not getting younger, so I hope to see it before the resurrection. But if not, as you quoted from the Bible, I won't know anything when I'm dead. Even if some people believe they can talk with the dead, boy am I glad I learned what the Bible says and I appreciate what you quoted. So thanks...
Well, that's the situation now -- the rich get richer and I am pretty sure that they manage to tuck much of their money away so the government doesn't get it. But the point is that is the situation in general since -- a long time ago.
P.S. as we get older we might suffer more infirmities than when we were younger. Nevertheless, few really look forward to death. I know I don't yet I know it is there in the future until God intervenes, and I believe He will.
Living forever as the Bible promises in a paradisaic environment is something also that the Bible speaks of. And agreed, no human is going to be able to install this. Glad you quoted those scriptures which also allude to the fact that once dead, there is no consciousness. So thanks for that.
Just reading news about social security income in the United States. Predictions are that the money will run out in a decade. Yet many, many people rely upon this income. oh well...what a miserable mess. There is an old song that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
I'm not supposed to laugh out loud although I did after reading your response the second time and thinking about it. Not sure what it meant but if I have it right, it's kind of cute. :-)
Assuming that is true about "applied science," seems the money spent on rockets going to the moon is a waste when in fact there is so much help to be done on the earth. In this case, it's sad not funny or cute. More than sad, but I leave the thought process up to you and others.
Anyway, gotta go soon, but upon reading your first sentence that is how I found God, or how He found me. Because someone told me like you did that God exists and I finally prayed after all those years of being a non-believer, and yes, He answered me -- with guidance as to realizing who He is.
I can understand both Einstein's and Spinoza's viewpoints. The Bible is detailed and of course, things like the Flood of Noah plus the age of humans can be questioned. I have come to accept what the Bible says as truthful. I do not contest it. Spinoza lived at a different time, they were both...
I am asking how those who believe in the theory of evolution and who may go to church figure what happened with Mary. That's all. So far no one has answered who claims to be a believer of sorts...except maybe to say it's all mythical while they attend a church they claim is based on myths. And...
And that is why I do not accept dating concepts of how old an artifact or fossil is. Can't ask the investigators questions. And those here, when asked questions, etc. might say take a course in evolution, etc. or call others ignorant, but can't answer questions themselves but go by what others...
I am not necessarily speaking of scientists being afraid to expose their opinions about religion or whether there is God. (I have not taken a poll of scientists, and, as you may have seen, some people here get really, really upset and annoyed when asked to explain their viewpoint. That is what I...
Are you saying that doctors do not make mistakes or lack of knowledge inadvertantly, due to the situation, hasten a person's death? Is that what you are implying?
