reply to a friend
Friend thank you for your question. Yes I do go on. Would you laugh if I told you I thought that was the nutshell? I will try to give you just the nuts or just the shell, not sure which. I describe a few events that are true and have happened to me that are not readily explainable. I attribute them ...

If I feel I should say
I have been sent this list of questions too, some thought I would be amused by it's witticism. I post after Steve has given an appropriate response, that will if view with an open actively engaged mind, see sensibility in the answers found in scripture. This is an alternative (no scriptural referenc...

I am tired of fighting.
Chist has an interesting way of being both in ones face and out of sight. I have had several incidents in my life, that question all my simple answers. I have always accepted there is a God, and that God knows what goes on. In 1963 I swollowed drain-o about 65 miles from a small town hospital, and w...

troubling water
Damon, Thanks for you conversations; This is a snippet from another posts in which I mentioned blame. Now I can read just as you can, but I can not vouch for anyones clear authority here. I do not know what their agendas are, the 'story' is hardly enough information for me to go running for rocks or...

It is a story, it is a history, of spiritual belief. They are words. Individually they have a meaning; each word has unique properties. Together words are strung into sentences, paragraphs, chapters and books, that's is just the way it works. Over time language of use has changed as human empires ha...

it is more complicated than this and less so too.
I am going to have to go with Steve on this one. Not that it is a vote, not because it makes me rightous, it doesn't. Bankruptcy is a choice made by people in this world about things that go on in this world. Read Luke 12, it seems clear enough what Christ cares for the things of this world. Now as ...

Thank you for your welcome, I have read a very many of the interesting things posted here since joining. I certainly appreciate your comments, as answer to my query. I feel we are, as I have felt with similar answers by others since I first began asking this question some thirty odd years ago off th...
pacifism luke12
Steve thank you for the pointer. seem topical to add.... Wow, that one verse. From King James Version: 12:14 And he said unto him, Man who made me a judge or a divider over you? You mentioned two options: a: personal calling, the sacrificial lamb b: dividing the spiritual sphere from the civil spher...

The fall of man
In the beginning, or shortly thereafter, God admonished the first parents not to eat of the fruit of good and evil for on that day they would surely die. We know the story, Eve is tempted and submits, she tempts Adam and he to eats of the fruit. Some versions have the tree named knowledge, but regar...
