    Black Lives Matter and the Racist theory of Evolution

    Qualifying rape as a good thing in evolution theory is importing a moral into evolution that is not there. Evolution is cold, heartless and purposeless when it comes to value or moral good or bad, right or wrong. But thats the problem we can't help but import morality into the equation because...

    According to Catholicism, what must one believe and do to be saved?

    As far as I understand this is believing in Christ. Believing we are sinners and have fallen and in need of Gods grace. Which is given by His Son. So simply believing in Christ and accepting Gods grace. If you go back to the early church this is apparent. Everything was centered around Christ...

    Historical fun with the Number 7

    Phil I am afraid I have to disagree. The truth is there are 8 days a week. Its a mystery but if the Beatles said it this must be true. Sorry lol I had to. Don't forget the 7 churches of Revelation that were in Asia Minor. Good video and theres a lot that goes into making a week 7 days. It...

    Predictions About Noth Amrican Protestantism,and the Intellect

    I agree that the word meanings as they are evolved through time which can come to mean something different due to its cultural influence and language is notthe best way to understand the early church and Christianity and how it emerged from a Jewish culture and tradition. I find that by...

    Drive Thru History

    I cam across this great site on Christian history. The good thing about it is they actually go to many places off the main tourist track to where the biblical events happened. Which brings the bible alive. The particular episodes I watched was called Acts to Revelations. Which goes through the...

    God, Courage and Commitment

    You are right that all these political and philosophical ideologies come with some form of kingdom they want to build on earth. It is a mimick and false version of Gods kingdom. The big difference is Gods kingdom is not of this world and in fact in the end this world is nt an option and will...

    Why did God send Jesus into our world?

    I think theres a number of reasons. One would be to restore creation back to God after its all. That in itself is an entire topic. Another I think was to reveal God to humankind in the form of a man who was like us. This bridged the gap between man and God. Up until then humans had a yearning...

    Would you be more likely to join…

    All I know is what best represents what a church should look like is what the early church looked like. Including the church in the 1st and 2nd and possibly the 3rd centuries. For the church to be able to determine the books of the bible we now debate over they had to have still had some...

    church government is it taboo to talk about?

    I believe it is the very reason why we will see a rising up of bold and couragous Christian leaders and Christians in the future and maybe even beginning now. Or been in the process for some time. If you think about it Christianity was born in a time where it was hated. Yet the leaders and...

    How people choose a church

    I have been debating the church teachings and order regarding another matter but over the last month or so I have learnt a lot of the church and this has refined my beliefs about what makes a good and proper church. I was having some indecision about which church to worship with as I wanted to...

    Former Biden diplomat says there’s ‘no question’ that ‘free Palestine’ slogan has become a call for violence

    The Jews are one of the most adaptive peoples in the world. They will live in just about any situation and with whoever so long as there is peace and no one is going to sneak up on you and blow your family or embassy away. Thats the problem that radicals have infiltrated peacefuul communities...

    Former Biden diplomat says there’s ‘no question’ that ‘free Palestine’ slogan has become a call for violence

    The point is they have a right to criticise Isreal but often its only Isreal and the same outrage is not directed at others who may do the same or worse in most cases. Isreal has done nothing that most other nations have done. But Isreal is always the focus. Like the UN and how they have made...

    What are you currently listening to?

    Yeah she is great and so are the other backup singers. So is the original singer on the album Clare Torry. She comes in around the 1.05 minute mark. I remember watching a doco about how she ended up on the album. The Floyd was always experimenting and using different sounds and voices. They...

    Can a trans-identified person also be Christian? New Testament scholar NT Wright weighs in

    Ok I think I found the right one about Wright lol (pun intended). There are two big windows with Bird and Wright but its a longer video with a couple of other topics one being about deconstruction and whether Jesus was wrong about the end of the world. I don't think Wright has changed his...

    Former Biden diplomat says there’s ‘no question’ that ‘free Palestine’ slogan has become a call for violence

    I really think this is spiritual. Its more than politics or religion or human rights. The behaviour is irrational so we know its emotionally triggered. But I think its also spiritually triggered. Its always the Jews whenever theres a conflict in the world that involved them or anything that is...
