"...for you, apparently being an unbeliever..." - It is fair of you to assume that since my profile says "Other Faith" Here is where I stand.... I believe in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I believe Jesus was exactly who He said he was - the messiah. I believe He wants us first to love God and...

I think nations are beginning to throw off the dollar now due to sanctions or the treat thereof. Russia for example will make international payment for items in dollars but industries that have a high sanction risk are traded in rubles. Other nations are wanting to use their own currencies more...

is it fair to assume, generally (meaning there are exceptions), people raised in abusive poverty stricken homes will grow up much less productive? (This is a general thought - there will be exceptions).

Haha

Who'd have thunk it?? haha Seems God thought of it and put little cycles here for us where stuff just reproduces itself over and over.

A friend told me a story about people who died and got the heaven they all believed in. Some thought you worshipped all the time, others thought heaven was dancing on a hill day and night. others thought it was church always. Story basically says in the end each group had their heaven turn...

yeah - maybe there is wisdom in going for commodities. If things are really really bad - everything will collapse and the contracts won't be worth anything.

haha you said it not me ;-)

Do tell??

how do you do that without religion then?

Paul was also what I would consider a fanatic. Going to other countries to seek out followers of the way - and killing them? That sounds fanatical. One day he had a change of heart (with a little help from our friend Jesus ;-) haha). I'm not saying he was perfect from that day afterwards -...

How do you get the very best out of everyone?? You can't force people. Is it safe to assume a well balanced person will produce good things for their society. Is religion supposed to produce well balanced people - that then go out and benefit everyone?

Assume true: A society cannot survive if it isn't great at getting the best out of it's people. A society that spends all it's time watching reality TV / building prisons / paying for police to fight gangs / consuming drugs / eating junk and having poor quality thought and education is...

Just my opinion.... I thought your writing had some wise words - specifically, the following; i) Trying to play God will end badly. ii) Obeying Christ is good but it can't be limited to nominal obedience. Our hearts must be in the right place (I assume you mean?). iii) A person in sin is in...

Life is a Litany of mysteries (wordplay Intended haha) I actually really do want to know what people think. Sometimes - there are what seems to be hole in an argument and I’d like to know how the person patches them up. I think people struggle to say “that’s just how I read the bible” or “I...

Fair enough. I’ll take that as the end of our conversation :-) Take care

I’m not getting you. I’m having difficulty placing your statements into our conversation would you like to elaborate?

Gismys - I’m not following your thinking. All I can see are one line statements . Could you explain your thinking from beginning to main body to conclusion please?

Are you posting with reference to any conversation in particular?

I've often wondered if the Bible is more comparable to a song or other music. Example: Bohemian Rhapsody lyrics. "........Mama, just killed a man, Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama, life had just begun But now I've gone and thrown it all away......." Either...
