Re: Prayer request
Thank you both. So far a ct scan revealed the inflamed muscle. Her white count is elevated and she has been running a low grade fever. My worst fear is that it is some kind of muscle infection that is not being caught due to the slow turning wheels of hospital protocol. Through three births and a ru...

Prayer request
Greetings my friends, I write this from the bedside of my wife in the hospital. She has been hospitalized due to an unknown affliction. Since this past Saturday she has had what she describes as pain beyond labor pains in her left shoulder. Testing reveals her pectoral muscle as being inflamed, but ...

Re: Did Paul invent the Lord's Supper? (weird idea from arti
Hi Paidion, I am aware of the traditions that had built up over a relatively short time in the early churches. I am not at all convinced that it takes more than 20 years for a concept to become a hallowed tradition. I can say this emphatically because of studying the antecedents of various denomina...

Re: Did Paul invent the Lord's Supper? (weird idea from arti
Thanks Morbo for your answers. Paidion, this is more than a can of worms to open, but I am not sure that what we do today, which is a derivation from the Catholic practice, ever existed in the first century. The ceremony we refer to as "Eucharist" may be something that merely developed. There is a ...

Re: Did Paul invent the Lord's Supper? (weird idea from arti
Hi Morbo, I would just say that for one, Paul likely did "receive" this from the Lord in the way mentioned (a vision) since he was not present for the Lord's Supper--his knowledge of it's details were likely supernatural. What I find baffling is this insistence that the writer has in seeing the Cat...

Re: Hello there, I'm an atheist
The basic question is invalid. Your definition of viability precluses the application as you describe it. Do you believe placing a child for adoption is immoral if the child is still an infant? I must be a bit thick. I don't know what the word "precluses" means. I will assume you meant "precludes"-...

Re: Hello there, I'm an atheist
Greetings,
Fair enough. But it still doesn't answer the basic question I had:
If such responsibility for maintaining the viability of that child does not cease with birth, how can it cease before?

Re: The Most Frequently Misquoted Verse in the Bible
This seems so common. Have they been convinced to join the cult out of charisma instead of a search for truth? :lol: I have to laugh because the idea of any "charismatic" leader in the button-down corporate JC Penney model denomination known as "Jehovhah's Witnesses" is next to impossible. Oh sure,...

Re: Hello there, I'm an atheist
Hi, Thanks for responding. I believe you are stretching the definition of "viability" to counter my argument. I stated no such broad philosophical definition. I am referring to one child and one mother. A baby is not viable until they can care for themselves to some degree. Of course, if a person b...

Re: Jewish Commentary
I'll have to check my source, but it seems that someone I know well had mentioned to me several years ago, that one of the last holdout sects of Jews that were hoping for a "Messiah" had finally embraced the "nation" concept.
