    Are we spiritual beings or just spiritually minded and/or spiritually filled?

    Well . . . while we were immature or not Christians, we might have believed whatever we were told by people we trusted. I admit, I am perplexed that Adam was made from "dust". It does not say that any "spirit" was used. But in the New Testament we have mention of the "spirits of just men...

    Does God want men to choose easy options ?

    So, people now will plug in a car and get electrically recharged. How is the electrical energy produced? How much fossil fuel is used to produce the electricity? If it is wind energy, how much fuel was needed to produce the parts for the windmills? How did they get that energy? And I am told...

    AI is the shiny new toy — why the alarm?

    We seem to agree that it is "artificial" :) It can distract us from the real challenges . . . finding out how to love, how to bring up children, how to relate in marriage and other very close relationships . . . how to submit to God . . . how to solve other problems, kindly and peacefully and...

    Idolatry

    Yes, it says not to bow to them. But I consider that this means bowing in *worship*. I can bow to tie my shoe laces. So, I see it could be easy to justify and explain bowing before a statue of Jesus or someone who is considered to be an example to follow. And you are said to be meditating on...

    Keeping people down, who could climb up if you'd leave them alone

    I was going to ask who these people were and why they said that. May be ones into the Bible could say, stay with a husband. But I see the reasoning was not related to what certain Bible claiming people say. I have been told someone with adult-onset diabetes can lose weight and that removes the...

    Why is their conviction for some things agreed on as sin but not others?

    Hi, Jamdoc > Possibly, I see something here > > > So, you did not on purpose get yourself stubbed or bumped. However, you were not ready to handle it with a sensitive reaction honoring God. Plus, of course, you might have done something to help the stubbed toe to happen, plus may be you were...

    Spirituality and the Three Little Pigs

    I offer, that I get what you could mean, here > if we get saved, now we need to grow in Jesus and not stay where we got started. And becoming holy . . . the way God's holy love changes us to become holy . . . is very important. But then we still need to keep maturing. However, I think it is...

    Spirituality and the Three Little Pigs

    It can be like if a bear raids the camp in order to eat some hungry people. The bear is the one who is eaten!! God can turn an evil to our good. Satan and his put Jesus on the cross, and now God is using that for so much good.

    2 Thessalonians 1:11 ~ A Correct Translation?

    Well well . . . I just viewed a few translations of this verse, and yes it seems some make it about what God desires, while others bring out prayer that He will do the good things we hope for. For starters . . . it can mean the same thing, either way. After all, if God has good He desires for...

    The growing use of witchcraft in the dating world

    In me is where the real problem can be. I need to stay with God and do what He guides me to do, in relating with people. I must be unselfish in how I seek companionship. By being honest with God and people, this can make me able to avoid the wrong people . . . by trusting only as God guides...

    Can we talk about ADHD... and such ?

    "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." (in 2 Corinthians 12:9) "you will find rest for your souls" > in Matthew 11:29. "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth." (Colossians 3:2) "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."...

    What does the God of the creation think about homosexuality?

    According to the statement of purpose for this forum, philosophy has to do with why people do what they do and how to live a good life. And ethics has to do with rules people live by. So, why do people do what is wrong? They are wrong; so they do what is wrong. But, also, it is possible that...

    splagchnon σπλάγχνον and splagchnizomai σπλαγχνίζομαι

    "For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15) From this I see how part of why Jesus came here was so He could in a human body actually experience things we go through here. And now He can...

    splagchnon σπλάγχνον and splagchnizomai σπλαγχνίζομαι

    I would evaluate if and how there should be "validation". This can mean you simply are acknowledging they have suffering. But validation can also be a way of approving of someone . . . even if the person's trouble is because the person has done badly in ways that have caused the suffering. It...

    Christians and Fictional Afterlife

    This could be all you need to know. I have times when I get giddy about some thing to write for the whole world to see. But it can be me praising what I can write, hoping for the attention and a name for myself. Well, we can be sampling it . . . as much as we are living in God's love now...
