Not 'black lives,' lives matter. In cases where there is prejudism, whatever color is downtrodden, matters. This isn't about that, but about incredibly misguided behavior and poor judgement and duped masses without critical thinking skills. What I believe is different is 'what' lives matter to...

Am I Mid Acts? I've been told a couple of times now, that my stance on books being written to Jews distinguishing carefully 'not to me' makes me MAD. I've been told that appreciating anything a Mid Acts Dispensationalist has to say makes me a MAD sympathizer and likely MAD as well, and I've...

Did it matter (I didn't vote for him)? When both parties support this, or abortion, generally there is a force to vote for one or the other (or not vote by objection but I'm not convinced that has any kind of purpose or power). Next: Have these threads morphed into rejecting both...

It reads just like a flunked test, the Gospel of Thomas is one person's recollection of all he learned from hearing the Gospel: 14. Jesus said to them, "If you fast, you will bring sin upon yourselves, and if you pray, you will be condemned, and if you give to charity, you will harm your...

My two cents: Deu 6:6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. Deu 6:7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. Deu 6:8 You shall...

Martin Luther said to 'sin boldly' from the context of full forgiveness in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is a comfort in being under the blood, knowing that the Father sees us, completely in Him. I used to have my Sunday School class draw a self portrait then take a red crayon and color it...

He is Risen! John 11:25 Jesus said... “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies. 26And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/why-religion-is-not-going-away-and-science-will-not-destroy-it?utm_source=pocket-newtab Not only isn't religion not going away, it is thriving. More, any attempt by scientists to indoctrinate or supplant religious faith backfires and hurts the efforts of...

Millennials and their children are more likely to vote for communists and socialists and prefer them over capitalism's 'evils.' https://dailycaller.com/2017/11/02/nearly-1-in-5-millennials-consider-joseph-stalin-and-kim-jong-un-heroes...

Tough thread, btw, trying to follow: Death Penalty, Divorce, and Child-rearing. Seems to be a difference between 'letter of the law' vs. "spirit of it?" I'm not sure Christians need be too literal with O.T. instruction specifically because we are under grace and 'all things are permissible...

Odd topic (see below asterisk line for the politics discussion of it). No I'm not thinking of eating my dog or cat (I've friends in the military who have eaten both). I was in the Asian market today and saw cockroaches in the frozen section. Big ones! I asked my son, "Guess what I saw...

I may have failed. One member took his opportunity to make poor and false claims about me. It was an opportunity to 'return good for evil.' We have a few members on TOL who consistently ignore/overcome evil by "addressing the subject, not the person." I've been reading Romans in...

Not looking to debate, just reasonable intelligent, well-thought-out answers. Here is the first: Unitarian/Arian "Christ is not God" question: Read these verses carefully. 1 John 5:12 John 14:18-19 Ephesians 3:17-19 Colossians 1:27 Revelation 3:20 How is it possible for a mere man or...

You have a God 1) You did not make yourself, therefore, you have a God (Creator) 2) You have purpose, you did not get to randomly pick meaning and purpose, it is common to all men, therefore, you have a God (Purpose in the universe). 3) You do not love without first being loved, therefore God...

Agree. I just 'ard' :doh:

0:45 seconds in? I think its his graphics card and program :chuckle: Not making fun of him, we just can't be jumping to the 'first' conclusion all the time. 1:10 We have to do what is called oversampling to get pictures. To get Jupiter? A computer has to pass over the image hundreds...

Its interesting (linked to about page 306). For me? I want to see how the guy is understanding before I deconstruct either of our views. In a sense, It is good science because it is trying to see how another person sees science. That's how we move forward, even if one theory is completely...

btw, any icon on TOL, if you hover over it, it will tell you how to make it. For instance if you hover over this :banana: it says 'banana' To make it or any icon? Just put :: on either side when typing the word and the icon will show up for you :amr: :e4e:

A compass would work wherever you have a magnetic point that pulls your metal needle. That said, we are on a tilt so a globe that sets on an angled arm is accurate. A perpendicular stand is inaccurate. A lot of 'navigation' education can and could mess anybody up as far as directions are...

As far as the 'compass' you are correct. A digital GPS? Not a problem. In a nutshell, you are calling the navigation tool (compass) on the carpet. A compass doesn't do the work for you, you are right. You have to recalculate from south to north. There are better tools today than a...
