    When is lying not sinful?

    Broaden the question to moral dilemmas, whenever the purposes of multiple commands of God are at cross purposes. There are six general approaches to moral dilemmas. Three are clearly unbiblical: Antinomianism: there is no right or wrong. Wrong! Generalism or Utilitarianism: concepts of right...

    Eagle's Nest Quiz.... answer ~and then post your own (if you wish)

    One problem with making up your own puzzles is that it's really hard to guess just how hard they will be to solve. They seem easier when you know the answers.

    Eagle's Nest Quiz.... answer ~and then post your own (if you wish)

    But maybe as one final challenge, I challenge anyone else to come up with another list of five 6-letter words that would also fit the same pattern. Or a little easier, four 5-letter words. Such as: Thigh, Atlas, Goose, Bible.

    Nope. As I revealed in my hidden hints, the second riddle is all anagrams, but some words have to be paired up before anagramming. So here's a list of the pairings: Hidden - Use your mouse to select to reveal the pairings. Theres ashoe noarms leadin chairhaze socialsons hurt itlasagna...

    Eagle's Nest Quiz.... answer ~and then post your own (if you wish)

    You might not think I have talent for this once you hear the answers to my puzzles. If no one can solve my riddles (and no one but you even guesses), then I don’t think they are the kind that this board really is looking for, and I don’t know that I could come up with many more without spending...

    Maybe this one will be a little easier than my last riddle, but not too easy. Arrange the following in a more sensible way: There’s a shoe no arms lead in chair haze social sons hurt it lasagna shines ape human cats that mew raze her webs gee sins last mention a violent era burns me.

    Nope. Hint: there is only one word that fits. What do the words have in common, literally and precisely? I suppose I should post the riddle to form.

    Genealogical discoveries

    Well, I discovered that I’m a direct descendant of Odin, and of Audumbla, the Norse cosmic cow of creation, and of the family of Jesus (both by way of King Arthur and by the secret Holy Grail/Templar genealogy that Dan Brown made famous), and I forget how many more. But I suspect that some of...

    The importance of Grammar Nazism - the Oxford Comma

    The court got it wrong for the reason that Cearbhall alluded to. The law says overtime pay is not required for The canning, processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marketing, storing, packing for shipment or distribution of: Agricultural produce...

    Communion in your Lutheran Church

    The “argument” against having it every week is simply freedom. The Scriptures neither command a necessary frequency of partaking nor that it must be offered every time you worship. There’s nothing wrong with having it every week at every service. There’s nothing wrong with having it three times...

    Old earth age seen from the light travel time from the stars

    Most YECs that I know of (including me) believe that the genealogies in Genesis skip some generations, allowing the Flood to be dated perhaps 4 to 8 thousand years BC, or a little more. We also see some leeway to redate early history, putting the earliest pyramids in the range of 2 to 3 thousand...

    Is God a liar?

    I’m new to this forum, and I apologize that I haven’t read through all 78 pages of this thread to see if my approach to the question has already been raised (I skimmed enough to see that I don’t think it has). I also know this post is too long, but I think I need to make the full case from the...

    Old earth age seen from the light travel time from the stars

    My question was based on your words, “although the sun, moon, and stars continued their existence in relationship to the earth, they had somehow become obscured.” So he didn’t restore them? They’re still obscured? Your second link says the same thing and describes this work as “the process of...

    Old earth age seen from the light travel time from the stars

    First: how does your theory not reject the clear teaching that sun, moon, and stars were created on the fourth day of creation, long after the gap? You say they were simply obscured for those few days. But if somehow the language of Gen 1:14-17 is somehow only phenomenological, that when he...

    Old earth age seen from the light travel time from the stars

    Which part? The claim that synchrony is merely a convention in relativity? Any source on simultaneity under relativity will tell you the same thing. Here's one example: Significance -- Conventionality of Simultaneity Or the claim that time is a dimension like space? Again, virtually every...
