There is a biological and theological problem here. Are conceived cells a living human being, or just a potential human being? If all conceived being are saved, or those of believers, how is a non developed human a reality in the conscious, loving, giving sense? Now much of pregnancy and...

There is a logical contradiction here. The role of president is to benefit the state and defend the constitution. Within this logic the states secrets are the states, which the president is custodian while in office and not the owner. Law is applied to restrict and define boundaries to people...

Trump is a symtom of the USA losing its identity to what it was back in the post 2nd world war. Attacking democracy and its right to vote in politicians is an anti democratic and anti constitutional action. The christian nationalists do not want democracy but a theocracy. The difficulty is 30%...

This is not a political thing. The press conference at the garden centre is a classic example. Rather than admit it was the wrong location and just switch it went ahead. Taking top secret documents and not giving them back. I have the right to them. This is a personality trait. Or the...

I have to laugh. Most of the court cases against Trump are because he refuses to admit a mistake. This is not a comparison between Biden and Trump. Trump is crazy. All the people who have worked with him know how he lacks boundaries or common sense. No sane democratic leader praises...

Trump is very strange. He cannot admit he has done anything wrong, ever. As children we all learn from our mistakes and how to apologize and put things right. To exalt such a personality who will never know enough to do the right thing it is all doomed to failure. Why is it people are tying...

There is a real contradiction in Christian thought. Eternity will be a few saved righteous people, over looking billions in eternal torment in Hell. Where is love and loving God in this? Where is consistency between old and new testaments? In the old testament evil men are destroyed and not...

The question did Jesus claim to be God, presupposes an objective answer. Here is a question that needs a fact, which I can handle at a distance and either accept or reject. What if the real question is who am I and who is God, what is His nature and intent? This is a much deeper and involved...

What is the difference between two strangers who meet but never connect, agree or like one another and two good friends who literally enjoy each others company and share what is on their hearts with one another? Jesus used the term born of the Spirit. The gifts of the spirit and the Holy...

Could Adam have refused? Adam only knew that eating would kill him. The snake questioned if this was true. The only issue here was something valuable but unknown against a warning. Our nature as people is to take risks and explore and doubt the outcomes we are warned about are true. Therein...

14 Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam (who is a type of the coming one) transgressed. 15 But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, how much more did the grace...

Adam died spiritually. His relationship with God was broken by rebellion. He chose death rather than life through his action. Adam died physically, in the sense without eating from the tree of life his body would wear out and die. We assume death physically means die within a short period of...

I like this question because it begins to reveal the story of Adam and Eve. Adam only knew fellowship with God, not chosen but always there. He and Eve did not know morality, and had no objectivity. I wonder if they had true self awareness or a conscience at this point. The warning was simple...

I suppose I should put forward my foundations of belief and faith. I am founded on the cross of Christ cleansing and forgiving my sin through His shed blood. This forgiveness is to enable me to freely love and walk in His life and grace. This life is the life of love a two way giving and...

We are required to love Gods truth, for Gods truth is Jesus. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. Deut 6:5 27 He answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your...

That unfortunately does not answer the point. A marriage is founded on a good relationship with understanding from both sides. A marriage only exists when both parties stay faithful to the agreement. What is obvious is for some the arrangement is somehow forever even when one side hates the...

OSAS is similar to once married always married. This is emotional security outside relationships or content. It is hollywood "I am your soul mate" "I will love you forever" I remember when I first met my wife, she was a nice woman, but not anything deeper. Over time I actually fell in love...

"Satan wants" is a big statement. Scripture tells us he wants to destroy us before God in a spiritual argument. I suspect our sin is rooted in fear of rejection and self soothing. I talk with a number of brothers whose language is always to prove themselves to me rather than just share who...

This reminds me of discussions many years ago of people who felt though they believed in Jesus they had committed the unforgiveable sin against the Spirit so were actually lost. And others who were very insecure over whether they were saved or not. I am talking to a young believer at the...

Let us answer this assumption. A child is born, that child knows nothing other than what they feel and experience. They have little controlled movements, or noises or choices. It takes 20 years to reach maturity. So to be born again spiritually, is this beginning life again and learning...
