Welcome back! I could restore your old account if you would like, and merge this new one into it.

God allows people to sin... He doesn't stop them or immediately punish the disobedient. At least that is how it is in the former and present age. The age to come may be different.

I wouldn't say a lie creates a new reality regardless how many believe it. It is written, let God be true and every man a liar. These may be called vain imaginations. But they really do affect our minds for the worse. The way the lie of Satan had real world impacts was by tricking Adam and Eve...

Another point to ponder: God created the heavens and earth how? By speaking the word. In light of this what is a lie? Isn't it an attempt to reshape reality? But lies only work on people, not the world around us. Our minds are affected, and it changes our behavior, making it sinful. The...

Not all that is uncomfortable is evil. I wouldn't classify exercise as evil. I understand it simply that evil is anything contrary to God's will. God's will is manifest in the designs of his original creations. At first the rebellion in heaven was evil. This lead to the tempting of Eve in...

There was a list of potential targets, command wanted to ensure there was no cloud cover. If there was the plane moved on to the next target on the list. I heard if they didn't drop the bomb they would not be able to make it back, and would need to ditch the plane. So the crew was determined...

She must be confident that they will not find themselves subject to an FBI investigation for terrorism under this new administration, like has happened for a pro life Catholic church in Richmond. Under Obama speaking against the government might have cost them their 501c tax exempt status.

What we shouldn't do is give transgender advocates, or child molesters a platform to teach from. There is an expectation that there is a world outside of church. God willing it will adopt laws in keeping with biblical morality. My heart for the people is that everyone would be better off...

Does this sound passive to you? 2 Cor 10:5 "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." The word of God is our weapon of war. All should learn how to use it. The enemy does not...

Yeah it was Arizona pomegranate green tea in plastic bottles. It might not have anything to do with the brand but with the bottling or storage. I used to be fine with the stuff the gas station sold in glass bottles.

Very strange times.

In terms of the mind, he is external. He does not have the power to control us against our will.

From the heart flows all sorts of evil. But Jesus did not have an evil heart as he had no original sin to corrupt it. The temptations he faced were external, from the enemy, attempting to manipulate him based on the good things he desired. Jesus wanted to begin his ministry, and the devil used...

I also recall the tea causing one of my arms to go tingly later that day.

I'm of the persuasion that evil in this context should be translated in the archaic way to mean disaster, calamity, or some other serious misfortune. And this would also fit with biblical and personal experiences.

Because people are ignorant about God and his reasons are often mysterious. It could just as easily been the devotion and situation of the owner. Or maybe they kept a palm leaf from palm Sunday for protection against fires according to the superstition. But it would be cool if it is true.

Greenland definitely deserves to be a state with its 50K people but not Puerto Rico with it's 3.2M

I've tried tea in plastic bottles from discount stores on at least three different occasions. Each time it has tasted like it is tainted with sewer water.

"Everyone knows that North America is the best America. And when we add Greenland as the 51st state there will no place further north than this great, this beautiful country."

I love Cilantro in Mexican food. It gives it a fresh zesty taste.
