    Does anyone hear think global warming is God's wrath?

    We know God exists and we have faith in Christ and believe in His words, and Christ confirms the essential validity of Genesis chapter 2 for example. God exists, and evolution appears likely as not to have been His plan all along. (or else He did a lot of work to create the illusion of it...

    Does anyone hear think global warming is God's wrath?

    Sure, but I'm going to give you a book instead. :) Gospel of Luke I've been learning often people have trouble with these texts when hearing isolated sentences sans context.

    Does anyone hear think global warming is God's wrath?

    To the extent the scriptures anticipate global warming in particular, there is only 1 verse I know about, and it seems that verse is more like a prediction (like a modeling forecast) instead of the causal agent for Earth's end. It's like other signs: only saying things that will happen...

    Does anyone hear think global warming is God's wrath?

    Hello. I couldn't understand what you are saying in your last sentence. Also, it's not thought we will become extinct due to global warming, but only suffer quite a lot from it. Neither humans nor Earth would be expected to be destroyed in that climate change, though it would extinguish...

    Has The Taliban Reversed Their Decision On Schools?

    The Taliban has often said it would allow girls education past age 12 -- probably to try to get international help and so on -- but it most often doesn't, mostly, in reality. Overall, the freedom for women appears likely to get worse: Taliban Renege on Promise to Open Afghan Girls’ Schools...

    I liked that one. Here's one just above that is a perennial favorite for me.

    ‘The Son of God is Jesus; The Father of God is …’. Can someone fill in the missing word?

    You've done well enough. The 'mystery' of the 'Trinity' idea is that Christ was both God and mortal human, and not only a mix, but instead both fully human, and fully God, both at once, a seeming contradiction. Because logic and/or premises -- even basics to our way of thinking like unitary...

    "Love...Believes All Things"

    Another thought to share, from more than a decade of discussion on the internet on Christianity with the lost and also with just antagonists to Christianity (who often don't really know much of it), is that a lot of very carefully constructed attacks on faith and God have been gradually devised...

    "Love...Believes All Things"

    Hi there, I don't think we've talked before, but I was just enjoying your post, and wanted to respond, and with more than one thing, but along the way, I felt this is important on a place like RF (Religious Forums) to improve wording: Since only a smallish minority would agree that was the...

    genocide?

    Yes, and it's indicative of the whole situation. Even while Putin tries to paint it as about attacking a newly formed Ukraine military center (the claim Ukrainian military was using the hospital, and it no longer had patients, a clear falsehood), the world can see the reality -- actually, an...

    genocide?

    I agree that it is definitely not at the level of genocide. But....every time there is a 'cease fire' for Mariupol and civilians try to flee, they are shelled and have to run back. Day after day: 'cease fire' to let civilians evacuate, they begin, and get shelled by Russian forces. For more...

    Put God on trial!

    If we do carefully read all of Matthew chatper 24 (which I have perhaps a dozen times over about 45 years, and in many ways, with all the cross references, commentaries, and so on), and much better, all of the Gospel of Matthew fully, then we get the meaning more completely, and then be better...

    Put God on trial!

    Ah. If none of the epistles of Paul were in the New Testament, you could still find all things you need in the gospels and also expanded in the other epistles, but without some of the expansions that are in the epistles, you'd have to be very careful not to miss even one sentence that Christ...

    How we focus our attention

    Yes, those are good thoughts. Being meditative we are better able to pay attention to the Spirit, and notice better our own state of soul (whether we might need to repent of something, or feel pulled towards something we are to do). Matthew 7 ESV is a very important chapter, and the narrow...

    Put God on trial!

    Hi, 2ndpillar, as you have probably seen, I don't make a lot of posts, and try to say more in just 1 post. So, you might think of it as a few posts put together, and that I will not come back soon to reply, because the topic is deep and not to be rushed. So, I'm trusting that unlike 95% of...

    Put God on trial!

    While in that day, they did indeed need (for the reason pointed out just above in the other post I just wrote above) to refrain from those types of food, it was decided, for the sake of those that would be offended or misled by their eating such... Christ taught us a key thing about foods and...

    Put God on trial!

    Ah, I know this chapter very very well, as it is so key to other things in Paul's epistles. In the end, an idol is, just like God has said over and over in the Old Testament, only mere wood or stone, or the work of someone's hands ( a mere crafted object). (we could probably both quote many...
