    Desire and pleasure

    I think there is purpose that God gives us that can be pleasurable for us to do, and we should be doing that. It is not better doing all pleasurable things, some would be hurting those doing them later on.

    Do we have freewill ? is it biblical ?

    If hominids means apes, we are then apes. It depends on definition. We have to choose in matters, and in Bible passages it is said, in a great many places, we are to choose. That is not said to be deceptive, we really have to choose in certain matters, there is then free will in those things up...

    Probability problems

    If ... then you will definitely win. There's the catch, that you are left thinking you get ahead with odds. There is no real getting ahead.

    I'm curious -- are you well-informed?

    I try to be well-informed of things that concern me. I am not watching news for everything that is going on. But I find enough information for my wellbeing, and the information on things that are threatening to this world are threatening me along with everyone else. I don't think most people see...

    Poll: Which Parts of Religion Do You Focus On the Most?

    I won't answer about which of very wide areas I focus on. I will answer what I think of as most important, for focusing on. It does not at all exclude other things of the faith, but it is godliness that we are to grow to, it is most important. Godliness may mean different things to others, but...

    Probability problems

    I don't see a reason to change the first choice. It does not become more likely to be the wrong one.

    Poll: Elon Musk - who or what is he?

    There is this that sums up the essential things. I have my Fred Bquick account there on Twitter, I hope Elon Musk does not mess Twitter up so much it will be lost. I am thinking of backups to have, for anything like that happening. It is not wise to trust Elon Musk for saving the world or...

    If there is a hell, what percentage of humans should go there?

    What hell is actually can't be understood, at least not by any of us not yet there, and maybe not by those who get there, who would only perceive what is immediate to them. Picturesque images were symbolic expressions which would not be the reality. God is always fair, as I am sure of with God's...

    Poll: Elon Musk - who or what is he?

    I know of historical evidence of Jesus, known as Yeshua at that time. There is great support of the Bible in any case. What evidence do you have that there was no Jesus ever? And God is real and there is no proof that you could show that God is not. More relevant to the topic, what evidence is...

    Needless Disrespect for a President - Biden, Trump or otherwise

    Necessary evil is not something I would choose to support. How are we better with having ruling leaders? Are they better people than we are? They are not, really. So people are so bad they need rulers who are people, who are so bad. We could do better than this, we just should not crowd together...

    Poll: Elon Musk - who or what is he?

    A genius, the best... that's a mighty high view of him, or for being applied to any one. The world will not be saved by him. Maybe the antichrist will convince people he himself will save it. The best comment was "Born into wealth and affluence and rode upon the coattails of others. His ego...

    Is Jesus Christ Enemy of the State?

    I know of a lot of supporting evidence, which I do not suppose you would really want to consider, other beliefs do not have scriptures for them with as much support for trusting as revelation from God. And I have basis to trust there is God there, it is separate logic to discuss. I do think...

    What does reality demand of a realistic religion?

    Knowing reality would require of religion that it would be "realistic", in other words, not contradicting the reality that is known. The fault in this is any assumption that we know enough of reality. We really don't, it is just unfounded arrogance to think we do. We have a good idea of greater...

    US Congressman supports Israel right to stop illegal Palestinian construction

    Palestinians should be able to have construction in their land of Palestine. Israel should be able to have control of its own land. Palestine or Israel are not illegally occupying land. Israel took control of land when neighboring countries came making an attack on them to annihilate Israel...

    Stupidity Is Spreading

    Not getting COVID vaccinations which some choose is not the same as being against all vaccinations. Indeed, other vaccinations are not the same thing at all. Still, I for one do not call others with perspectives other than mine stupid. Almost anyone has different perspectives on many things than...

    Is Jesus Christ Enemy of the State?

    Godliness is supported in the scriptures of the Bible. Civilization itself is not godly and did not start with godliness, nor with God initiating it. God was the one scattering the people from what they were making at Babel, which would have become what we have now much faster. It is set up now...

    Are Even Half Of Cops Honest...Not Corrupt?

    What is generally not recognized is that the police are not there to protect the public. We are not doing better with having police departments. We could be better off with paid protectors working for us, than with those in government departments they aspire to qualify for and get in with doing so.

    Why do Jehovah's Witnesses think the earth will not be destroyed?

    I agree with using the scripture passage showing that God does not want the destruction of this earth, and there are many believers going along with the perception that everything of this earth will be burned up, so they don't mind the destruction to this earth, they think they would be taken...

    The Us vs Them dogma within a religion

    I think the way is through Christ who provides for salvation, having life then hereafter endlessly with him. Really, we cannot know with absolute certainty who will have that. God is gracious and will bring those through Christ who can come with repentance whenever they would come, and we who do...

    Ready or Not

    There really can be something to this. I quit several addictions to things I was drinking and eating, a step at a time, starting around a couple of decades ago, and latest a few years ago, that now I eat just meals that are all whole foods and nothing from animals anymore, and have eliminated...
