    Recognisably Christian???

    Who sent a mission to the english then? Once they came to the isles

    Is Christianity the easiest religion?

    First of all, there is what era you are from. It seems to me, as a passive reader of history, that the way the religion was practiced might change rapidly, as trends changed. But I think that maybe, the follower of a religion also makes it either easy or severe, for themselves. That, on top of...

    Recognisably Christian???

    I think you might be describing roughly what happened to the Irish. After Rome abandoned the British Isles, wasn't there a gap of a few hundred years before they reconnected to the Roman church?

    Is John the Apostle immortal?

    Yeah but the gospel writer puts it as 'the kind of death that would glorify god.' That doesn't say anything about a merit in trying to survive the opposing authorities. The 'opposing authorities' might have been considered a 'static condition,' for all such a position would care. I think we can...

    Exacerbating Sin: Is it just? Is it faithful?

    Although I've heard / read similar arguments about what God supposedly did, but I think the verses you quoted look like they would counter those sorts of arguments. Somewhere in the NT, I think it also tries to make Jewish law into something like a 'stumbling block,' or 'stumbling stone' or...

    Is John the Apostle immortal?

    As to the whole thing we peter, to be honest with you, it's an extremely spooky moment. Why does he need to be martyred to glorify god? Didn't jesus stop the need for that kind of thing? It's like he's a de-facto human sacrifice. The whole weird mood of that section, the weird 'hypnotic'...

    Is John the Apostle immortal?

    And is that 'new flesh' actually immortal, in some sense? Are you saying that 'personality' would be subject to change, if it went on forever with the body and/or soul?

    Is John the Apostle immortal?

    And in Christianity, is not everyone's flesh also immortal? For it seems like the new testament wants to keep them both intact, when resurrection occurs

    Is John the Apostle immortal?

    It is clear that he would have known what that meant at the time of the writing, but what about at the time it actually occurred There's something about that which doesn't seem conclusive, because is doesn't explicitly include the input of Jesus on the matter. They all seem like they are left...

    Is John the Apostle immortal?

    I don't know that peter would have inferred that, or that the whole group would have inferred that, by the short conversation, at least not immediately. Again, the group never seemed to understand what Jesus meant immediately upon hearing him, and it's possible that writer of the gospel...

    Is John the Apostle immortal?

    John 21:22-23 They argued about what Jesus meant when jesus and peter left the area, but the thing is, they were often very wrong when they talked among themselves about what he meant. They thought he meant things far more literally than he did. Take the example of the 'beware the bread'...

    Should we pay people to die?

    No it's not only the latter that do it, but the former seem like they suffer more than before, (with some exceptions) for the decision, as working class people. You don't think it's discouraged at all in modern society, for non-college educated people to reproduce? My grandpa was never...

    Is John the Apostle immortal?

    I feel asleep to a reading of the gospel of John. As I woke up, I was met with the ending lines from the reader, (which I always found extremely spooky) where Jesus was talking to Peter, and then Jesus referred to the probable immortality of John. I guess the argument that he is immortal, would...

    Should we pay people to die?

    Modern society, in seeming to now require a college education and subsequent successful career to allow one to reproduce, has with that level of selection pressure, put an unprecedented stipulation on the base population. It does not seem to occur elsewhere in history. This new reality is...

    Poll: Your Opinion

    As to the question about if it's from the forum, I think the option I would pick would be 'unsure,' or 'uncertain.' I think that the material that goes into changing my point of view is probably diverse, and multi-variate, where it does change. And where it does change, it often seems to change...

    Should We Pay More People to Live?

    And not to mention people who just can't make it do to sheer and simple economic issues. There is growing class division here as well.

    Should We Pay More People to Live?

    It seems to me that most often, they say that those places are kind of dangerous. I have followed various travelers on youtube, and that's what they said. They say it on other channels as well, I can't imagine they're all lying

    Should We Pay More People to Live?

    And what makes a person worth something, in your view, if they are not really innately worth enough to warrant paying them to live? Do you think people become less 'productive' if you pay them to live, (is that a subjective term?) and so it follows that perhaps it is impossible that they become...

    Should We Pay More People to Live?

    Edict on Maximum Prices - Wikipedia I'm still trying to figure out how this worked, but I'd say maybe so..

    Weird dream last night

    I guess to transfer the energy back to the dog.
