I can't help get an answer to this question. Everybody has or knows a somebody that they have lost to disease or accident. Even after great remissions. I don't see the purpose of such suffering. In fact I think it rather cruel. Why does not the Lord intervene? Why don't we have a cure for ALS...

In some cases maybe but i think people can make themselves very mentally ill if they take things too literally. You could wind up in a mental hospital tormenting yourself with guilt for every little thing. This is the way a fellow colleague of mine who once had been a nun explained it. Christ...

Maybe these truths are not self-evident in this day & age. It seems it has become acceptable among politicians not to attribute anything positive to the Creator nor to understand why the D of I & the B of R evolved the way they did. Certainly, life, liberty, freedom to practice or not practice...

Actually Mr. Trump has run a good economy looking at the economic indicators & pulled us from some terrible treaties. He has avoided getting us into major armed conflict. He has signed some pretty good pieces of legislation for those who paruse that: the right to try bill, 3 separate VA...

This is my interpretation. God ran into some stubborness with the early Israelites. O boy you got to work at it. But then one could say the same thing today. E.g. all of us have read of the miracles in the Bible but where are the miracles today. Why does not God strike down dictators, cure...

The earth is not 6000 years old. The universe began roughly 14 billion years ago in the Big Bang. That established the first nano particles & the 4 forces. The fabric of space went from a singularity to a vast fabric basically empty of mass, but strong in forms of energy. Our solar system...

Do you really believe all the hype about this. There is no collusion on Trump. What he called up Putin on his cell phone & asked them to do abra cadabra & somehow issue a magic spell that would rewrite the name I wrote in for my write in candidate which was then slipped into the voting machine...

I think it's important not to take the bible literally. You'll end up making yourself sick over it. Jesus says one thing here, another thing there. No one is recording this. If such a vast humanity was created 4.6 billion years ago, we have had billions of people. I'd hate to think they will all...

I ask prayers for my late schoolmate Kathy who passed from ALS yesterday (9-24). She fought a 2 year battle & always kept a bright outlook. I wish God would help us with this disease.

Picture this. Today you are watching the replays of 9-11. You think those people have not suffered enough that they have to go to a holding place. Picture this, the Mi-Li massacre in which Lt. Wiliam Calley ceremoniously executed innocents. Do you think they have to go to a holding place...

This may be too profound for us to understand. What age are you?

This would be incompatible with an ever-loving, living God. It is people who dwelled outside the realm of God that did this. What I mean by that is they chose to usurp the ultimate power of God which pertains to creation. I think that fits in with being an unforgiveable sin. Yes it happened...

The correct description to describe Christ aka what where when etc is that his status is resurrected.

I do not believe it is real but rather a creative tool of the Church because inevitably none of us are perfect. My reasons are this: if the Crucifixion was not the ultimate cleansing & just a temporary fix, then what's the point. There is no integrity then on the part of God. That means he can...

The same argument made since time eternal. First heaven is a state of being, not a place. There is no time. God does not distinguish based on skin color, ethnicity, religion, etc. All human beings are fallible that is just a given. Forums like this tend to spook people on oh God will throw out...

Thank you to the Messianic person here for a well-thought out reply. i'm disappointed in the monk's reply. Too sarcastic. Yes Debbie Reynolds-she was an ordinary soul with great contributions. Let them go? Don't understand.

In recent weeks I lost my eldest uncle & this weekend I lost my favorite grammar school teacher. I'm still trying to get over the passing of Carrie Fisher & Debbie Reynolds. I honestly am troubled that our life on earth is rather short. And with some people it's shorter. My heart aches at the...

Tis true the GOP only cares about their donor class. They are 100% about capitalism. Over the last 2 months my caller ID-less phone has been ringing off the hook & it has been GOP people calling for donations. My guess is they want to put up some national advertising to vote ACA completely out...

Good topic & important. First let me say none of this belongs to Trump but the GOP has a tendency to hubris. These are the so-called moralists in our society-you know the ones always after the evangelical or Catholic vote. Frankly what I have seen so far is that most of the GOP save the...
