If we can concede there is true reality, we just don't know so much about it, that can be true. Just about everyone, if it is not actually everyone, is believing false things, being mistaken about some things, that has their reality being an illusion. This does not make inductive reasoning and...
I as it happens am not of the Baha'i faith. I would recommend my own faith, being sure as I am it is right, with bases, yet also with more possibilities to find others, if you happen to still want to look. With yet being of the Baha'i faith, you would need to know, is there a faith of others who...
Go ahead and judge and not be aware of sin being involved with that. If it must be known I actually did not want discussion with the poster I quoted and was just showing my post was in response for it being in this thread, without that one being alerted and responding just because of that. I...
There is a distinction relevant to this between inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning. We do know things but really any of it is from inductive reasoning before we get to what is known through deduction. That is really very reliable, but what we know from that is only right when we are...
Thanks I guess for sharing to tell me what I show elsewhere of what must be known already, even backing up in text in a quote to reduce a lot of it that would not be addressed, it did not really occur to you that I have my own reasons to choose to use a quote this way, with shading to copy, of...
I only brought up a very healthy way of eating. Being vegan is not mentioned anywhere in it, and it is not at all relevant to this if I am. What is so healthy is so healthy.
There are of course unhealthy diets among vegans.
You don't have to consider and choose this healthy way. But it is...
"Any religious text, whether it is the Torah or the Gospels or the Quran, requires interpretation."
If any religious text requires interpretation, any interpretation would sometime need other interpretation further. One of those things should actually be enough itself. I know what to trust as...
How much have you heard about the Forks Over Knives way? There are such healthy benefits with it that I don't see with any other ways, but there is still concerted push of information against it, certainly from those with vested interest in businesses that this way would go contrary to. So very...
The bad in this world is from choice. The first sin, in rebellion, and every choice that is hurtful to any has the world worsen, more and more. We are part of it without real repentance to stop from that contribution. Who is making the world better? We should be contributing to that.
It is really this issue that not all who call on God are already so devoted to God. With devotion to God there would be real seeking of God's will, even God's higher will, and being obedient where it involves us, with there being what shows from that. It does not exclude compassion to any.
I walk a whole lot barefoot, and have figured out it is not easily done too much, doing this more and more provides benefits, to the feet and more. It is certain as I find that we are designed to walk this way and nothing about us was designed for wearing any footwear. My feet really handle...
I can't remember what I answered you with, but I did, probably more than enough to answer everything, but it is gone and I couldn't write the answers again. Don't know if you saw that though.
There is wrong that is being done, and it is all with harm. But there is not agreement on what is wrong, that harm comes from. God still knows what is wrong. But people do not all know, you even would not know all that is wrong. If you are shown harm from some things that you would not see as...
If we all really grew up we would expand our view and care about more than other humans whether some, most, or all of them. Our world grows worse because all of us generally don't.
Is this saying these statements are alike in some way? I don't see it. The passage in John at its start in context relate to one who is unique, and I don't see the other is relating to it at all. And, God is not one who is not God. God is always God, the meaning of it being the Supreme Being...
I push it where I go. Come as you are places should not exclude me. I walk everywhere barefoot anyway, for a number of years with concern for my well-being I am busy with what I do from home, and I carry flip-flops along for going in to where I have learned something needs to be on my feet to be...
I know what marriage is like. Yes I am older. It really really needs to be with the right one. If it isn't it would not work out even with really trying to make it work. But we are made to thrive with the partner the spouse we are married to can be, and we are made to be loving our spouse...
Exodus 20:11
In six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
You observe the Sabbath? Congratulations. I do so too.
Exodus 31:17
It is a sign between me and the children of...
The universe and the world, without being formed, with all the life on it, might be far older than the time of creation in a week shown at the start of the Bible. The Bible does not show that cannot be. The unformed world was already there, as it shows. All life was then made on it with water...
