    What caused the Christian and Muslim invasions of India?

    As surely noted it was the British Empire taking over India, that previously had self rule, though it was an empire with rule over others. Christianity came to India before, in earlier centuries, as did Islam, but such was testimony in India without any takeover.

    Pressure On Biden To Pardon Trump

    I see how corrupt and unethical individuals can and do come into office. The presidency gets almost all the attention but it applies to all offices of authority. People in general accept that premise that we need them over us. Almost none think that we are responsible for ourselves, which we can...

    Was there evidence of the Philistines around 1500 BCE, before the time of the Exodus?

    In the 18th dynasty, there was no ruler over the Hebrew people. They had their own customs and traditions even when under the oppression of the Thutmose reign in Egypt.

    The Trinity - What on Earth is it?

    I don't really make it hard for myself. There is one supreme being, this is God. God is one being and there no other being near to being like God. Yet Jesus said he was one with the Father. The Father in Heaven is God, so what could that mean? The beginning of the gospel account of John states...

    Sun created on Genesis Day 4, Plants on Day 3?

    Whatever the people believed then when these things were written for those of Israel originally, it was revealed that God made the life on this world which he created, though originally formless, and then in six days everything to make this world according to God's perfect design, showing to the...

    If science proves that non-local consciousness is real how does that change your understanding

    There were studies on effective prayer. Are these studies different? God may be assumed to be answering them. But if it is not God, that does not remove God being the explanation for all things known to exist, which had a beginning, and nothing else explaining how their existence was brought...

    Do rights come from God?

    God is love and God cares, our lives have value from that, as if not in other ways we would see. Rights we have inherently are from that. Just remember, God is loving and caring for all.

    Do rights come from God?

    What do you call for, as facts? Is a science lab needed, is a court needed? I just would work with reasoning, to show there is God, and as our Maker God matters to us. If you haven't heard the reasoning, do you want to?

    The People’s Guide to Project 2025

    There are abundant signs that this society is most polarized. More laws used to deal with this will not solve it, but things can and would be made worse.

    Is it a good idea to separate "church" from "state? Why or why not?

    Church should not ever be in position to have laws made for everyone. As it is, there are too many laws for us. Think not? Then name them all.

    Who Or What Is Christian?

    For me caring about God's will is involved. Even if others do not live to be doing things in God's will, this is for me to care to do. What is shown earlier of what is revealed for that is the higher will that anything changed after from that is just compromise for us, so many do not really want...

    Do rights come from God?

    Have you posted in this thread before? No? So just come along and dismissively make a judgmental personal remark, while that contributes nothing to discussion here, though rights have basis in our value we have from God and this is a legitimate position.

    Trump Again Claiming Right To Assassinate Rivals

    I've known it would seem ironic all along, what I do not know is that there was anyone else saying it, it did not look like it.

    Do rights come from God?

    God is explaining everything good that there is best of all, and rights are connected with our value, which we do all have from God. Violation to rights means there is violation to our value that we have from God, all of us, we who are created by God.

    Trump Again Claiming Right To Assassinate Rivals

    If he still would claim that there is a right for assassination of rivals that is justified it would be kind of ironic, surely.

    Mother mary without sin?

    From what I see the Bible affirms that since Adam, and Eve with him, all have sinned, some more and some less in their lives. Some very few live quite blameless, while there is yet some sin, and all need a Savior. Jesus alone was an exception to that. Being incarnate from God, even while...

    Religion - Some Questions

    Sharing is part of Christianity as it started, and while apostles were not interviewing converts to find if they would share as it seemed needed in the community of believers there, they all did, as it seemed Jesus had that taught and the Spirit led them. It would not be coerced then either...

    What if these Christian beliefs are not true?

    God is still true, God is all knowing and God cares for all without limit. So whatever else might be wrong, God our Maker should be trusted and appealed to. I believe needed truth will be provided, with this.

    Regarding Islamic terrorism, what does 'radicalized' mean?

    I read the Qur'an, I had been challenged to do so, and what I read impressed me as being quite repetitive, though sincerely urgent in compelling the reader to submit and follow Allah through what the Qur'an taught. There was one prophecy offered in it, which is taken as fulfilled. Having read...

    Why we don't have free will using logic

    We can be sure of some things but what there is of that is a very small bit of all reality. Life is still interesting this way. There is always more to learn, with us actually learning real things, that is possible. Part of learning still is recognizing where we were deceived in something...
