If life is about "Survival of the fittest", surely, we need to worry about our own survival ?... survival of the human being.
Medical science has, for some while, been responsible for the survival of some of the most unfit babies born; I think we can accept that many of these babies would...
Good and Bad are labels; just that. No one is either good, nor bad.
At every juncture in life, each and every day, we have to make decisions about what action to take in certain circumstances; sometimes we make a choice that we know is not the one we believe God would wish us to make - maybe...
having spent years depressed, and suffering from allsorts, I nearly cashed in my chips a month or so ago.
My wife and I went to see our grandson in Barcelona (to help our sun while Mum was away for a couple of weeks on business). I had been dieting, and was pleased with having got down to the...
A very Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it as such
and A happy holiday to those who don't..............
And a Happy, peaceful and prosperous New year to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in the case of women, more flesh............:p
To be serious though, my son married a Spanish woman; when she first came to England, she looked all around, and asked "Do all women here dress like prostitutes?"...maybe a bit strong, and not true, but I see her point.
I hate to say it, but I believe that "what is going bon here" is the usual dissemination (which makes life very difficult for mentally challenged people like me!:p
Long time no speak.........hope you are well!
Upto a year ago, I was Obese, and I was aware of that; I have struggled with weight all my life. However, at the age of err 63, I decided that if I was going to go into my "senior" years, I ought to get fit enough so as to minimise the problems...
Well, I suppose I can now understand the "what"- I have aspergers' and numbers and patterns is often something that people like me are drawn to - maybe that was the initial reason for my interest.
I used to write a newsletter, here, for the forum, and in one issue, I did quite a bit of...
Thanks, I understand what you are saying, but that does no address the point about "two judgemnents"; just out of interest, can you give me links about this ?
I have come across references to the "two Judgements" in Roman Catholicsm, and yet the following text would indicate that this is a belief in Eastern orthodoxy. The more I look, the more references I find - even in the Church of England.
Perhaps members here can give me their ideas on this...
I can't give you an answer that will satisfy you; I just believe it..... That's enough for me.
The world is full of imperfection, because if there was no imperfection, any degree of perfection would not be appreciated. Nothing is good, and nothing is bad; what makes something either good or...
Trying to have an idea of what or who is God, to me, is something I never try to do - how can I possibly understand and describe a being who, if he/she/it exists (which I do believe). All I can say is "I don't honestly know, and I believe that my understanding is not really important - just...
The way I have watched the decline (as I see it) in the behaviour, the respect for the law and others of the "general population", the greed of large corporations, I don't want to live any longer than I have to.
I think there's a lot of truth in that. Having said that, I have always tried to go through life believing that "Love conquers all, let us always cede to love". So far, that hasn't worked out for me - but I refuse to give in; I hope when I die, I am still believing that...
I am still strugling with some of the basic concepts surrounding Christianity (not helped by the different beliefs of offshoots from "The one Holy Catholic Church").
I always thought that the Baptism was a "cleansing of sins" - which (to me) sounds strange, since Baptism is usually conducted...
