When we stand before the Judge Jesus Christ at the Bema seat judgment... and he asks us what we did with the time he gave us... ... ... ...how much of it are we going to have to admit was spent on the pursuit of materialism?

Matthew 13:22 (NASB95) 22“And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Proverbs 28:22 (NKJV) 22A man with an evil eye hastens after riches, And does...

Yom b'erev v boker = 24 hour yom. ani miztaer

Imagine this was earth 7-10 thousand years ago (not millions or billions of years). Surrounded with a vapor canopy that filtered out harmful radiation (making for longer life). When the flood came the canopy collapsed, subterranean water vaults burst open and the globe was covered in a single...

Accuse the other of what you are guilty? My my my. How liberal of you. My original point was about the overall Church. But since you want to make it personal.

Dear mummy, did the best she could with what she had... emotional problems... after Dad died remarried four more times. This was quite a lesson to experience for my siblings and I to marry once. My point is... do not entertain the idea that successive marriages would be successful marriages...

My sister and brothers (I am the eldest) were born with our father's scoliosis (curved spine). I was blessed not to have it. But my siblings all did. And on Dad's teacher's salary we could not begin to afford the braces needed to correct their disease. Dad just lived with his until his death at...

Along with home economics / domestic training / housekeeping skills / parenting that should be taught in schools to both sexes, should be a marriage course. If nothing else, it would familiarize people with what they are up against and what people are capable of. What if your spouse is injured...

Marriage is tough enough if you think about it. Two people with fallen natures trying to make one life together. In the best of situations it is a hard fight to fight. I married up Waaaaaaayyyyyy up! The best in fact! And if God forbid anything should happen to her and I survive the grief...

Good advice.

Of course if what we are physically is the totality of us (as Roddenberry believed to his deathbed) then fax-man would be a-okay.

Have an itch? Beam me up / down beam me back and the new me from the transporter memory buffer will do away with aging illness kind of like a personal system restore... What about the soul / spirit of human beings going through a transporter? I recall in the novel Spock Must Die author James...

Agreed. And transporter devices... facsimile human beings? Uh, this will rival Harold Robbins novels about memory crystals and clones... (not recommended author btw very perverse / sick stuff... from a much younger and stupider day in what I read... {sigh})

The design of the old flip cell phones, I'd agree with. But most of the rest of the list was already out there in conceptualizations etc. Jules Vern for example figured there would be a way to harness the energy of the sun (nuclear fusion / fission... I get the two confused). Gyros for...

Oh yes... in tandem with the suns gravity the planets act as cosmic vacuum cleaners for keeping nasty space debris like asteroids and meteors of any size away from Earth. I am not certain, but I imagine the solar winds also push away much from our path. We are vulnerable and the Bible does...

The New Heavens / New Earth (or as I like to think of it as the New Heaven-Earth... will be the infusion of physical and spirit realms and thus not in need of such a vast system to sustain it.

We take for granted the complexities that afford us one platform to exist on. That or we have been ignorant of the complexities. The stated purpose for all that exists in the created (physical) realm is in the Genesis account. To provide for life here. As seasons etc. To make an Earth in the...

I don't know. How funny would it have been if mommy were absent and the child said she had surgery and we won't be having babies anymore?
