    Strange occurrences following my dad's death

    That's is an interesting take on it. Funnily enough, I kind of thought that my dad wouldn't have wanted to leave the house, especially when he was still trying to do so much work on it and he'd lived there for around 63 years. My daughter in law thinks, but is not certain, that she saw this...

    Strange occurrences following my dad's death

    Ah, right. The Holocaust would definitely have an awful effect on the idea of cremation, to put it mildly. But as to 'dust to dust', don't ashes become dust? I'll have to do a bit of research on the bits in the Bible which might proscribe cremation.

    Strange occurrences following my dad's death

    Sorry, I've just seen under your picture 'Judaism'. They've changed the format of everything abit since I was last on CF so I've got to find my way around again!

    Strange occurrences following my dad's death

    Yes...I've heard that many people thing cremation is not a good iea. And my father was cremated. Are you a Jew, out of interest (or Messianic Jew?) I looked at your profile to see what it said. If so, do Jews discourage cremation? And if so, why? I could actually start another thread...

    Strange occurrences following my dad's death

    Thank you for your reply. Well, my daughter in law didn't try to speak to it and ishe only saw it for a moment. Anyway, I rang her up again to ask a couple more questions. I had thought it possible it could have been an angel, but I'm sure it wasn't. Anyhow, I asked her how big it was and she...

    Strange occurrences following my dad's death

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this..if not, please move it. Anyway, my father had been ill with cancer for a few months and my brother and I were taking it in turns to care for him at his house (apart from when he fell, broke his hip and was hospitalised for a while until he...

    Blueprint for the end

    Yes, this seems a more likely scenario. Imo I think the Eu may get smaller..perhaps more countries will leave it. I can't be convinced that the EU would be the 10 nation ruler.

    The woman who lived for 60 years on the Eucharist alone

    I have read a couple of things...I wonder what causes it? I mean obviously with the woman livng on the Eucharist, you could say she is getting nouishment from the Bread of Life. However, the other example I read of was someone who I don't think was a Christian and wasn't eating the host. But...

    The woman who lived for 60 years on the Eucharist alone

    But would scientists or doctors believe that is possible? I have heard of other people who apparently don't eat, but survive. And doctors are convinced that they must secretly be fed. Not that I don't believe these things could happen, but has there been any proper scientific observation or...

    Imperial Measurements in the U.K.

    Yes, this is how I get the 'feel' for weights and measurements...I know roughly how long it takes me to walk, say two miles or how many apples make roughly a pound. We lived in Belgium and Luxembourgfor seven years, yet I could never get the 'feel' for metric measurements. I always have to...

    Imperial Measurements in the U.K.

    I know exactly what you mean! I simply can't judge or estimate anything in metric.

    Imperial Measurements in the U.K.

    We still use miles on signposts and things...although on news programmes etc they tend to quote things in kms. A lot of younger people seem to use kms too...but that may be because of using smartphones, pcs etc. About three years ago my husband and I were walking in the countryside...we'd...

    Where To Begin Reading The Bible

    I think ithis really depends on the person. When I became a Christian I dived straight into the Gospel of John, Genesis...and Revelation. Revelation terrified me lol. But I also read in particular, Isaiah. A lot of people say to start off with Mark, but I found for myself that John 'spoke'...

    What happened to the original New Testament?

    Yes, thank you...ought that was the case :). And which meant of course that it would probably be easier to spread the Gospel...as well as the fact that the Romans had conquered so many countries and built good roads etc.

    What is "the present" and how long is it?

    Not that I'm a scientist nor a theologian, but I don't really think time exists either. Like you suggest, I think we just use the concept as a way of marking the passage of 'time' so we know where we are. As it says in Scripture, God created the 'heavenly bodies' for us to mark the seasons. I...

    What happened to the original New Testament?

    I think that in those times Greek (around that area) was used pretty much like an 'official' language...or at least as a language that just about everyone understood...rather like English today is pretty universally taught and understood to agreater or lesser degree. I may be wrong of course.

    Jesus gave me a blue stone?

    Thank you for that extra perspective :). It does make sense.
