    So God says "there are some bad adaptations, and there are some good adaptations" - ready to listen?

    Hi there, So we are all born with instinct, this is nothing "new". But what we are not predisposed to is receiving instruction from God. If we have instruction we do not do it, and doing it we do not do it correctly. This is just the fallen state of the world - not that you necessarily call it...
  2. The Beginning And The End

    In the book of Revelation (the Revelation of Jesus Christ), Jesus refers to Himself as the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the...

    Don't let them tell you, they have seen your future - illness is for a season, not every season

    Hi there, So yes, I have struggled with a diagnosis of my schizophrenia, for years. One thing that made it particularly difficult, was that the treating team (the psychiatrist and his nurses) would say "you will have this condition for the rest of your life", as if the Day I reach Heaven, I...

    Some things require sacrifice: if God desires mercy, what about those of us that must die?

    Hi there, So yes, it is a blunt message to me, that there are certain things in life that "require" sacrifice. Revelation speaks with praise about those that "love not their lives, to the death" - but this clashes with the idea that Christ died for us, doesn't it? Didn't Jesus die, so that...

    As long as you have the cross, you have the way

    Hi there, So yes, I have been freed of a very severe bondage. As long as you have the cross, you have the way. Don't ask God to fix today, what He can fix for all time, at the end. This is the miracle of God, that what He saved you from at the end, He saved for eternity from that point on.

    The false prophet, will mistake the Holy Spirit, for the anti-Christ

    Hi there, So I have to tie this in to scripture, and I can, it's just that you may have to stretch your imagination a little: the false prophet, will mistake the Holy Spirit, for the anti-Christ. We find in Genesis 27-29 that Jacob steals Esau's blessing, this is a shadow of the thing to come...

    It's going to be hotter than our souls can stand, but we will be delivered!

    Hi there, Praise: be to God, that though the end is destroyed in fire - yes, even fire so hot that our souls cannot stand it - yet we will be able to stand, for our faith is in Jesus and He will deliver those souls. The Big bang will look like a drop in the ocean, compared to the fire that is...

    The Faith will be plain as Day, but the unbelieving will still put off Salvation

    Hi there, So Jesus dealt with the Devil. The Holy Spirit will deal with the Anti-Christ. The Great Witness will deal with the False Prophet. But in the End, God will deal with the "mark". In coming to God then, we must be humble about what we consider wisdom to be. The unbelieving cannot do...

    The Nations were all reached

    Jesus instructed His disciples to go to all nations and preach the gospel and then the end would come. They did go to all the nations and so the end could come (in their lifetime.) In Acts 2:5 Peter preached to "devout men from every nation under heaven." Luke lists the nations this included...

    As a rule, "partially right, most of the time" is moral.

    Hi there, So I wanted to present a model for morality that is different from utilitarianism and deontology. That model is simply: Essentially, it builds on an experience of trying to be moral. It does not need specific instructions or specific consequences, but adapts, within the confines of...

    Remove humans, and... animals fight over who is next?

    Hi there, So I am not saying we don't care for animals, we do, but the day will come when we are gone, what will happen to them? I don't want to suggest we are vain, but are animals merely going to fight one another - or are they going to fight over one another over who is next to be where...

    Does Vladimir Putin, appear in scripture? In Daniel?

    What we see in Daniel's vision of the end, is a lot of snapshots of the time of the end. I think a window into these snapshots and the meaning they convey can in our time, be considered in the light of whom God has called forth to face the end. This particular snapshot (quoted above) is a...
  13. Wisdom From Afar!

    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
