    Hope & Hopelessness

    Thank you. I am reminded that, in such things we have to be careful not to place blame on others. That can be so difficult for some reason, but I know that I have sinned, and those who were involved, did not do my sinning for me. I am praying for forgiveness, for them, as well as for me.

    Hope & Hopelessness

    I usually do not share much about myself, especially my struggles, so it's been a long time since I've written one of these posts. It's certainly not a comfortable thing to do, but I feel the need to say what I can. I am a inappropriate content addict. I don't watch inappropriate content, currently, but there's more to it...

    For the looming clash between the caravan and U.S. border agents

    Father in Heaven, Please protect all involved in this situation from violence and help them to find peaceful resolution. Please protect families and children from those who would intentionally steer them into a dangerous situation. Please help the military to spare lives. Please work peace...

    Forgiveness

    Sorry if this is not the correct place for this type of post. The welcome forum didn't seem like the best place. Some of you may remember me, or not, that's ok. I've changed accounts a couple of times over the years, and I've been posting here on this forum since way back when (more than 10...

    Soul Sleep...? Yea, or nay...? True or false...?

    Source please. I'm aware that Luther questioned, and perhaps held a position contrary to unconditional immortality, but that doesn't necessitate soul sleep.

    Christianity and Self-Image

    Yes, depending on one's church. I had a good friend I knew from grade school. He had an abusive father, crippling debt from college, a girlfriend who left him, an addiction to pain killers after a rock climbing accident, and a church that taught him that he was worthless sewage (this is...

    How do you find common ground with others?

    Loreal™ lol I hear you dude. I just don't think there is such a need to be too pessimistic toward women -- I mean, they should have a chance to prove themselves like the rest of us, at least.

    How do you find common ground with others?

    Thanks for the sentiment. I am doing that already actually, which is part of the problem as the industry is hugely male dominated. It's just not much of a venue for meeting women.

    Progress on Your Goals

    I believe it was Nelson Mandela who said "I never lose. I either win or learn." My plan is to live that out, and the way I plan to do it is by making zero goals for myself. That way, every victory is a victory, and victoriously so, having defeated every standard that would seek to reduce it...

    Thoughts on Dr. Michael Heiser?

    Ancient iconography is an amazing, and fascinating visual record of ancient Christian belief. Take images of John the Baptist for instance, and compare with Mat 11:10: For this is he of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send My [messenger/aggelos/angel] before Your face, Who will prepare Your way...

    How do you find common ground with others?

    Reality appears to be a bit more complex than that, depending on sex and age group Where There Are More Single Men Than Women Considering that men in America aren't really expected to be dead by 64, it wouldn't seem to be old age or suicide that accounts for the disappearance of single men...

    How do you find common ground with others?

    Wait, is that to say we should prefer to be with people who are already married (i.e., to be adulterers and adulteresses)?

    Post a Bible verse (4)

    Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen. (Eze 16:49,50) And they called to Lot and said...
