    Do Animals Feel Romantic Love?

    On the topic of instinct, who's to say that love isn't instinct before it matures from a lasting relationship. The things I've heard about love in it's initial stages make it sound like we shut off our reasoning and go in blind for a while. Blind love's a stage in the relationship, ignoring or...

    Makers of Life of Brian were disrespectful to Jesus?

    I've been amazed at how there are two basic world views when it comes to God. It's amazing because the two views look at the same world and see it so differently. One is that it's obvious that God exists. Just look at the world around us. The other is that it's impossible for God to exist...

    United Nations

    I see nothing worth supporting when it comes to the UN. I'd like to know what good things they do, because as of now, they seem to be hypocrites telling others to do the things they are unwilling to do. Or they are opurtunistic in trying to craft treaties that they re ready to break but hold...

    [__ Science __ ] Why Do We Get Frustrated?

    This sounds like a question in psychology (study of the mind) or about neurology (study of the brain). Possibly also sociology too (study of groups of people). However, I think any of those studies and fields of study would help explain how we get frustrated more then why we get frustrated...

    Bible Study Parable Of The Two Builders

    The decision of following Jesus is compared to how a person builds their home. If they hear what Jesus says and follow it their home will stand through the storms. If not their home will fall through. One thought is to consider Jesus's teachings as a solid foundation, and also consider what...

    Who Does the Work?

    I've been listening to sermons recorded and then broadcast on the radio for a while now when I'm commuting to work or coming home. In one of those sermons the pastor was talking about spreading the gospel and saving others. I think a point he made there can be applied to works in general, and...

    Is it more than just a coincident

    Good points. I'll keep these in mind. Where I was coming from more so was from a stand point that there have been many people who said the end is near, and even given a date when Jesus would come back. Usually in the mist of these kinds of teachings are that person's extra-biblical teachings...

    Is it more than just a coincident

    This is what I mean about being fed a diet of worrisome things. To continue on with the logic consider this. Jesus said that anyone who says they are His disciple, but hate a brother or sister are a lier and not really in Jesus. Yet with much divisiveness I see people compare their church to...

    Is it more than just a coincident

    It something to worry about. No doubt about that. But some times I think that's all we get fed. More things to worry on. Do you see the same thing in Canada that I'm seeing in the US? That the hearts of many grow cold?

    Chrislam

    I'l keep my eyes open on this. Hope it's not true, but it seems to hit a few other stories I've heard that are red flags in that direction. Be as cautious as a snake but as harmless as a dove.

    Is it more than just a coincident

    The US has nothing near the kind of perscution I read about in other nations around the world. The kind of stuff that happens to the poor and the criminal in the US is what happens to Christians and several other religions that aren't the magority of the regions. I don't want to be in the...

    Growth I’d like to share with you the basic general knowledge of prayer:

    Jesus taught about prayer in a few ways. One was to not be repeative or just fill our prayer with a lot of words like the pagans had done, thinking that will make them heard. Yet even with that, Jesus also said to be persistent. To take a lesson from a parable of a wicked Judge who would...

    Bible Study Romans 9:13 As it is written, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated."

    Pray. That's one of the biggest things we can do, and it's the first start. After that do what you can, let people know, be there for them, or do what you see is best. Knowing that no matter what you do it's in God's hands. Though He wants us all involved in the process, it's not our battle...

    Bible Study Matthew 10:34, 35

    When looking at Mathew 10, Jesus is sending the twelve apostles out to preach the gospel. And in this chapter He is teaching them what to do and what to expect. I think Mathew 10:34-35 is part of this context on what to expect. From Mathew 10:1-4 where the twelve apostles are named, and...

    No answers for problem of evil

    I don't know what it would look like outside of what the bible says. Swords discarded and beaten into plow shears. Peace on earth. Long life where either A) dying at age 100 is considered young, or B) there is no more dying on the world. Where predator and pray can lie together in safety...

    No answers for problem of evil

    To wondering. If Good and Evil are comparable to being right with God, and turning away from God; then the source of evil is the option of rebellion Against God. It seems like when I read the bible talking about Israel turning away from God they turned more and more wicked. Taking it a step...

    No answers for problem of evil

    Evil is not necessary for free will to exist. There are a lot of choices out there that are not evil. Having free will without sin is the hope I hold for the future when Jesus returns.

    No answers for problem of evil

    I've heard this perspective of good and evil balancing eachother out. That without evil we wouldn't know what is good. Or that without evil we wouldn't appreciate what is good. Even to the point that without evil good could not exist. But I don't think it works like that. Evil encourages...

    No answers for problem of evil

    From what I've read in the Old Testiment, evil is part of opposition and disobedience to God. I don't know modern Jewish philosophy or their other writtings, but I doubt they would see evil as something outside of a type of disobedience. The laws of God speak about being rightous, generous...

    Do You Like Getting Your Picture Taken?

    I think it's fun getting pictures taken. I just don't always like to look at the ones I'm in afterward their taken. But in the moments that pictures are talked about, those are usually happy moments, and I think sure lets take a picture.
