    Gender Neutral Bible Translations?

    It would be more to satisfy my own interest, anyway. It isn't off the agenda maybe's, but I'm sure you are correct.

    What do we really ‘know’

    In an understanding such as the one alluded to above, I can only think in terms of life and death. If wisdom is in speculation, I'm unsure it's true. If it is suggested it is in the search for what is true, then I would agree.

    What do we really ‘know’

    I know we can get burned like a table. I can tell you that much. Edit: Ever feel like you're spinning in circles when speaking to others? I guess, it may or may not be beneficial in an effort to avoid the spin cycles we sometimes run into with those we converse with. Language can be a...

    What do we really ‘know’

    I was asking about the burn itself. I wonder what it feels as a burn? You suggested burns hurt. How do you know?

    Gender Neutral Bible Translations?

    I had thought to endeavor to create one if not, and basically would have applied a very similar method to that which has been already done by others. I would likely have utilized the KJV, and then utilized more modern language, along with gender neutral and gender specific language. I may...

    What do we really ‘know’

    To be a little turbulent, how do you know a burn is able to experience the sensation of hurt? I've burned my wood table in times past. I can't recall questioning the burn on the table if it the burn was hurting anything. I never even asked it about the table. I may be a child ... Still at 53

    What do we really ‘know’

    Our understanding, which is our knowing, and developed over spans of time, is based on life as it is and how we as people process the data we have been given. I can certainly attest to the fact that I know so very little that in terms of a grain of sand, my knowledge would be as if it were a...

    I See Fire

    Here's a cover of the song, which I also view to be amazing.

    The Council, the Stage, the University, and the Synagogue

    From my perspective, this is all part of repentance. I'm not the same boy I was learning from my father. That boy learned so much that the boy became a man. On the same note, my boy taught me many things, and it is in this that the man I was before his birth, became the man I am today. This...

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    I have stated God to be all powerful. I have stated being all things makes this so. I have stated that all is formed from that substance; thus we are that substance. As a lesser god than that God , we require honor because we lack that which we have yet to achieve, so in this is our...

    I See Fire

    As a Christian this song speaks to me on a level some might not understand, but in order to see why, I feel as if I should apply my understanding to the lyric itself. The original lyrics are phenomenal. I simply wanted to share what I see in them. I See Fire Song by Ed Sheeran I made a few...

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    I will answer with a simple yes or no, but before I do this, I should state you are doing the very same thing. Is having the Power to bring lighting from the sky through force of will a godly power? Yes - If I'm not mistaken, you suggested as much, but according to a single requirement or...

    The Council, the Stage, the University, and the Synagogue

    Chosen electives: Luciferian, Pantheism/Panentheism, Abrahamic, among others.

    What Kind of Luciferian are You?

    Allowing others to see where I am coming from as a truth oriented individual, who grew from Christian roots into who I am, accepting of all, yet resistant to some things according to my subjective reality, I am "aware" of such "illumination" and have been for over three decades now. I like the...

    Is there any available for purchase or in the works for future reference?

    The Council, the Stage, the University, and the Synagogue

    To reference Greek philosophers and the theater, or the stages chosen for the discourse between people, places like RF offer much of the same concept in practice. When we make posts and contribute something of ourselves here, I envision that type of theater as if I'm in a classroom at a...

    The stage - was it a classroom like in our universities?

    I will offer an understanding of a scripture that I have struggled with in times past. The council, the stage, the university, and the synagogue. Mathew 10:16-24 16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless[f] as doves. 17 But beware...

    Who Or What Is Christian?

    I get drunk very rarely. When I'm drunk, I'm drunk, not a drunkard. Ecclesiastes suggests there's a time for all things under the sun. I won't deny them the title. The title involves some consequence due to expectations from people who have preconceived notions of what a Christian ought to...

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    Going back to the beginning, before order became and chaos was, illumination spurred an action of order. Growing from each, became that which we identify as existing, to and of which we belong as. Going back to my beginning, becoming a new creation in, much of the same became true for me...
