    Meditations, thoughts, devotions

    "We've not been given a spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind." Power, love and a sound mind conquers fear. Be strong in the Lord and the power of his might. Perfect love cast out all fear. Be not afraid neither let your heart be troubled.

    Faith requires a corresponding action!

    SCRIPTURE: 'But they couldn’t reach him because of the crowd. So they went up to the roof and took off some tiles. Then they lowered the sick man on his mat down into the crowd, right in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, “Young man, your sins are forgiven.” Luke 5:19-20...

    spiritual hindrances which may hold you up

    Some people wait and wait and don't seem to get it done. The path to receiving from God is sometimes due to occult spirits or spiritual habits which are always manifesting in your daily life. spirits of pride, lust, fear etc. We are saved but Jesus wants us free. That is one great job for...

    Do we have to prevent other species from becoming "humanoid" to survive or do we encourage them?

    Hi there, So this is the philosophical "glass half empty or glass half full" (see philosophy has its uses!): Ultimately greater humanoids could take over, or they could show us better? Where do you stand?

    How do you evolve, a "fact"?

    Hi there, So my immediate reaction to this idea, was that it's not possible to evolve a fact. I admit that. You can change the context in which it is viewed or how its interpreted, but that fact itself remains the same. I recognise that. Once I recognised that, I started to think: "maybe the...

    Do you feel that changes in your generation, are taking you back to being a monkey, or forward?

    Hi there, So this is something we can easily and lightly discuss, right? If the evidence was in a cocoon, you could tell, right? So what is it, now that the changes were in you already, as you say (it not being about individual, but the species)? Or has Evolution hit us dead on, in terms of...

    If a particular individual evolves greatly, does social pressure normalize the greater evolution?

    Hi there, So I posted about a parasite evolving with the host of the parasite, and it dawned on me that maybe Evolution goes the other way: maybe a particular individual who evolves greatly, is more greatly copied by the population with him. In other words, there is a social pressure to...

    Evolution (or like) that is trained to respond to false positives, is a stronger Evolution (or like)

    Hi there, So indeed, there is a question here of whether Evoutionists are identifying anything new, now that they have a semblance of a theory - that is supposed to identify relevant change (wrong?)? In principle, any theory at all, benefits from responding to what are called "false positives"...

    If God likes me bit by bit, in the end I will be what He wanted me to be (yes)

    Hi there, So I have a substitute faith for Evolution: if God likes me bit by bit, in the end I will be what He wanted me to be. It's not complicated, it just suggests that the struggle to be Christian, comes with a commitment to the end. The world may say "you are what God wants you to be...

    Unknowns, are better for science, than repetitions of what is assumed to be known (selah)

    Hi there, So there is a philosophical problem, with Scientism. That problem, is the value Scientism gives that which it starts out with. Science starts with unknowns. Scientism, takes those unknowns and equivocates that all unknowns have the same fundamental value. That value is antecedent...

    God is obliged, to help you evolve? On Earth, "no"; in Heaven, "yes" - Discuss.

    Hi there, So further to my discussion of the relevance of a host, to Evolution, I have started to wonder about God, specifically God helping creatures "evolve". Is God obliged to help creatures "evolve"? This question comes down to where it is that God offers the help. Jesus tells us "I do not...

    The flesh resonates with the flesh: "the truth!", the flesh resonates with the soul: "heresy!" - no?

    Hi there, So after much argument and contention, I finally realised what it is that I think is the problem with Evolution: its about the flesh resonating with the flesh. You are told, "the flesh grows and mutates and has to grow again, to become what it is" and you are expected to believe that...

    "Whatever is not of faith is sin" - if God knew to create and did not, God would be in Hell?

    Hi there, So the full statement I wanted to make, was this: We are all obliged to do what we can about faith, this applies to God, as well. God could refuse to create, even, but His conscience would convict Him that He had not done something He had faith to do. God being God, He has an infinite...

    To God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God for Destroying the Works of the Devil!

    1 John 3:8 Thank-you God that as a result those chastened overcome sin by the power of God because... Hebrews 7:25 Knowing that by faith those in Christ will produce such good works that the following verses will be fulfilled in those who trust and obey. James 2:24 Matthew 7:21 Luke 13:24...

    Maybe this will clarify: can I encourage my offspring's instinct for Evolution?

    Hi there, So this is simple one way but complicated another: my offspring's instinct for Evolution, ultimately consists of the conversion of my experience of it (for them). There are a number of stages at which I can guide my offspring, as regards what they believe about Evolution. First of...

    Why does God allow suffering? Bear in mind, those that don't need a perfect distraction, suffer less

    Hello, There are so many ways to answer that God does everything He can to avoid or abate suffering, that it can seem like no one has a definitive answer. However, we can start to understand that God is in the midst of suffering. For example, that God is able to distract us from suffering. The...

    Logic: if apes connected to humans, humans can "reconnect" to humans - what is the good of that?

    Hi there, So yes, a simple element of logic here: if apes connected to humans (genealogically), could humans not "reconnect" to other humans? I have said before that "the Evolution of a specific survival, is different from the optimum survival for that Evolution" this is merely an extension of...

    "Love without Grace, would lack expression" - Citizen of the Kingdom

    Hi there! So my brother in Christ (Citizen of the Kingdom) gave me this quote and it spoke directly to me, about what it is that is so confusing about Evolution: viz, how can you love the theory of Evolution, without some sort of work, that is peculiar to Evolution? Why do I ask this: because...

    "It is the Father's good pleasure, to give you the kingdom (throughout time)"

    Hi there, So this is prophecy one-o-one, right? God does not simply arrive in some context, where things are for or against Him in one way or another - rather, God works above and beyond time. God does this so that we may receive the kingdom, but not only that, that we receive the kingdom...

    If Philosophy gave an a priori roadmap, to scientific discovery: would Science heed it?

    Hi there, So it has dawned on me, that maybe there is something that Philosophy has to offer "Science". Science defines a method of falsifiability (according to Karl Popper), whereby hypothesis are entertained, tested and verified. The point I would make, is that if you know what manner of...
