No. I'm in the process of dying. I came here to find a Christian community, but instead found a community of Christians. I'll no longer be participating. In One Law & the Messianic Gentile, Boaz Michael and D. Thomas Lancaster recant the First Fruits of Zion's position that there is just One...

Muscle size and body fat. As we age it gets harder to stay ripped. Diet is key. Planking works if that is something you'd rather do than crunches and leg raises. Cardio.

I'm dying. I doubt I'll have time to not believe in the Scriptures I quoted to you.

Decompression Sickness. I was bent on a 90 foot dive just 30 yards from River hospital in Alexandria Bay, NY. All they had to do was put me on 100% oxygen, call the Divers Alert Network (DAN) for a diving physician to consult, and transport me to a recompression chamber ASAP. I was totally calm...

The entire Tanakh or Old Testament was written at the time of Jesus. Your quote doesn't apply to the entire law given to the Israelites. Only specific cases. Leviticus 24 A Blasphemer Put to Death 10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a...

Thanks. Or draw inspiration. Chuck Norris was once so shy he walked facing the lockers in school. I was once the fat kid. By college, I was a physique model because I got in shape to be a paratrooper, ranger, and green beret. Those were my goals. God opened the door to put that conditioning to...

Thanks. That's great that you were able to experience the underwater world. I was either a full-time diver or part-time lifeguard or vice versa. I ended up the int'l training director for two cert agencies. Started at age 13. Bob and I did cave diving for reality TV. At age 50, I could still...

I wasn't trying to be insensitive. My friend Bob became a Christian after meeting his girlfriend Stacey. She's a Christian who got him going to church. She came in 2nd in her class and 6th overall in a national physique contest. The Christians I know tend to be into fitness. My buddy Sebo is a...

Matthew 5:28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. The key word here is "lustfully." How many times do we look at others appreciatively? As men we look at women and judge them by their mating potential. As men we look at...

If by hard to understand you mean expert Biblical scholars question whether or not Paul was contradictory, whether or not he was mistranslated, whether or not he was pro-Israel or anti-Israel, etc. 1. Contradictionists - believe Paul is inconsistent. 2. Editorialists - believe Paul was...

Paul's epistles are always contradictory in verse. On one hand he states "an idol has no real existence" and he states "they sacrifice to demons." He says, you can eat food sacrificed to idols. He says, you can't drink from the cup of demons. The totality of his message in his epistles is that...

That's usually how people find the knowledge to do something different. I created the concept of SCUBA coaching in my business. As an instructor of some of the most intense technical and cave diving courses in the world, instead of trying to teach entire courses to new divers, 50% of my business...

It's clear Paul said that idols are nothing. Christians assume the worship of false gods are worship of the devil. We know very little about the Celtic religion. It is believed they were animists who believed every rock and tree has a spirit. I have always felt that myself. Not believed. Felt. I...

Men are in crisis in society and relationships today. May I recommend Wildmen, Warriors, and Kings: Masculine Spirituality and the Bible by Patrick Arnold? The chairperson of the religious studies department loaned that book to me in college. It's an excellent read. A review by Bert H. Hoff...

My friend's wife suffers from MS and was working from home as a travel agent. You sound like you'd be great at starting your own business. Maybe an Internet life coach? Help others with finance, budgeting, choices, etc.?
