    Message from God

    It is indeed and they are indeed! :yes I think that it's times like these that make it even more incumbent upon Christians to shrewd as serpents even as we are innocent as doves. (Matthew 10:16)

    Message from God

    The "questions in the air" about the Vatican tend to be of the "when did you stop beating your wife" variety. There are rumors and shadowy allegations from unnamed "officials", which never can be verified... if the Vatican says "yes" or "no" to any of these allegations, it just tends to verify...

    The weather channel, reconstituted...

    Hot... still in the 90's and somewhat humid due to a bit of a cloud cover. Not enough moisture for a cooling rain, just sticky and yuck. It's supposed to break tomorrow afternoon/evening. I'll be glad when it does.

    Yep... yep, yep, and yep... However, I'm not sure why we need drag the Vatican in on this.

    Message from God

    Is the original source of this actually NASA? I can't seem to find this momentous discovery on any of their websites... I'm thinking it originated with the Onion.

    What will you NOT eat?

    I think jasoncran or StoveBolts could answer this better, but I do believe that there is in Judaism the principle that preservation of human life supersedes all law. The idea being that one is to live by the Law, not die from it. If this is the case in the Law... then I think it would carry over...

    What will you NOT eat?

    Now blood is the one thing that is truly sinful to consume. When God allowed any and all animals to be eaten for the first time, when Noah and his family got off the ark, God forbade the eating of their blood. Genesis 9:3-4 This was reinforced with the Law Leviticus 7:26-27 and then, in the New...

    [__ Prayer __] Prayer for my husband's surgery

    Thank you all again for the prayers... Steve is recovering nicely. Today he hasn't even taken any pain meds... just some ibuprofin! We'll head up to home today (we're at his folk's place in town right now). All in all, things are going very well!

    [__ Prayer __] Prayer for my husband's surgery

    Thanks for all the prayers!!!! Steve came through the surgery with no problems and the surgeon gave a good prognosis. We're staying at the Bishop's house until tomorrow, then he should be clear to go home. My in-laws and the pastor I work for came down and stayed with me during the...

    [__ Prayer __] Prayer for my husband's surgery

    My husband has been epileptic since birth because some scar tissue formed on his brain in the womb. He's worked hard in life to do things most of us take for granted and was able to undergo a brain surgery in the 80's that helped get the seizures more under control. However, for the past few...

    Secular Music - Is it a Sin?

    Both of the kids like Skillet and they're Ok... My musical tastes are all over the place and that includes hard rock and metal... even secular hard rock and metal. The kids are free to listen to whatever they like... as long as the lyrics aren't blasphemous or overtly sexual. I guided what they...

    The Jubilee Bible

    But this is why care must be taken when translating to translate the thought as well as the word... because "saving health" is not the message intended in the text. It's an age old debate as far as translation is concerned... to translate the exact word or the thought conveyed in the original...

    The Jubilee Bible

    Hmmmm.... "saving health".... I don't think that is a good translation. I don't think the translation captures the intent of meaning that Paul said at all. :gah Comparisons of the verse with various texts: For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone...

    TV series "The Bible"

    thankful Hello and welcome! :wave It's rare that any movie or tv show based on the Bible remains true to the Scriptures. Some do a better job than others, but most deviate somewhere along the line. I've only seen a couple of episodes of this particular series and the several I saw were OK...

    It's been just an amazingly beautiful morning this morning... I wish Barbarian could have been here to get some photos of our sunrise over the mountains today. There were just enough of the right kinds of clouds to get a lot of color in the sky, shimmering silver linings and honest to goodness...

    Must we do the will of God to get saved?

    :waving Hi anabana, welcome to the forum!!! We're glad you joined us. I think we could say that we are saved to do God's will, rather than we do God's will to get saved. The way the Scriptures put it is this way: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works...
