    Hummingbirds Anyone?

    Saw one last night. First one. It flew directly to the spot where last year I had hung one of my feeders, then made a beeline straight to the place where I had previously had a second feeder. I have placed my feeders in different locations this year. It only took a moment before the...

    Our thoughts or God's thoughts?

    What exactly is Starship Troopers? A movie or a story? I don't remember seeing it or reading it. Why was a grub crawling on someone's thigh. I think I am thinking of some movie that I saw once.

    Our thoughts or God's thoughts?

    It's been a long time since I have seen Starship Troopers. I don't remember the grub or the movie for that matter. As to usage, I am a little hard to follow at times. Well, most of the time. Could you expound on why you deny the second proposition? Thanks

    Our thoughts or God's thoughts?

    God creates his creatures any way that he deems fit. I have NO problem with this. None whatsoever. But please provide some scriptural support that God PLACES our every single thought into our head.

    Our thoughts or God's thoughts?

    So are you saying that God puts every thought into our brain? Every sinful thought or idiotic thought that flits through my brain at any given moment is placed there by God? Thousands of thoughts on a daily basis do not originate in my brain but are placed or written into my brain by God...

    Our thoughts or God's thoughts?

    From a Calvinistic and Biblical perspective I know that of course God knows, controls and restrains our each and every thought. But does God in a more deterministic way, write our thoughts? Example: Ice cream sounds good right about now. God gave me a preference for Ice cream...

    Our thoughts or God's thoughts?

    I was reading on another forum, a poster stated that God controls our thoughts. I wanted to know your thoughts on this subject. Does God control all of our thoughts? Do our thoughts originate with us or God? God of course knows our thoughts and uses them to his glory! Our thoughts...

    Bee stings

    Baking soda and water. Make a thick paste. It draws the stinger out and immediately takes away the pain. Works for me and my kids.

    Any Cat lovers?

    One of ours is a longhaired calico. She is actually a great cat if you like cats. She waits until all of the kittens are done eating before she jumps in. That one, I like. Mine all stay outside. They have a barn to go into but my husband built them a minature two story cat house. I spend a...

    Paying for sins

    True, but you don't see the truth of scripture until God opens your eyes to see. I was brought up in the same tradition as my friend and you always believe that you are seeing the truth until the moment God actually reveals the truth of scripture. Then it is an "aha" moment. Please expound on...

    Paying for sins

    He skips over those verses or either ignores them totally. Says that is paying twice. What is the best way to explain this to him? I doubt that multiple verses would convince him. Very sectarian.

    Paying for sins

    His question was, why consequences? Jesus aready paid for our sin. He knew according to our calvinist belief what sin we would commit so why pay temporally? I thought I would ask because most of you are alot more articulate and succint then I.
