They just wanted the money and if they can find a way to get it without having to use the word "tax" to do it then they will because taxes has a stigma associated with it while the word fee don't.

I don't think that is so much that you need to be angry but rather you need to be honest and if angry is honestly how you feel at the moment then so be it. Without honesty, a relationship of any kind can't go anywhere. If anything, being angry with God isn't the worst condition you can be in as...

It's not surprising that they are now "solving" problems by redefining words. Once you saw people fit to redefine something as basic as what a woman is, you should have known any and every word will be redefined when current definitions become inconvenient. How long will it be before they start...

People should have learned by now that when it comes to apologies, the apology you give will never be enough. I wonder how long it will be until the day comes when people just quit apologizing altogether?

I think the biggest problem people have with their crimes is not that they did them but that the leadership within that church took concerted efforts to conceal and hide the evil in their midst. It's one thing to have evil men amongst you but when you as an leader think the first thing you...

The thing about love is that it is not so clear cut as to what is or isn't love. A lot of things that are loving don't come off that way to the person you are doing it to at first but are seen differently later. For example, a parent may insist on their child going to school, doing homework...

I don't know if anyone noticed this but the entirety of Kiwimac's argument stems entirely from emotions. He doesn't present evidence because that's not the realm from which he argues morality. He sees a morality question and asks which choice makes him feel the best while others here look at the...

Let's see: a child doesn't lose their life for the crimes(sins) of the father. That's one positive I can list. Then there is that thing about the word "forced" Lots of things are "forced" on people. We have another word for that which is obligation. The quickest way to make short work of your...

He wanted Jesus to tell him what his problem was and asking him to sell everything and give it all away to the poor was the most effective way of exposing his heart condition. In comparison, Abraham when asked to sacrifice his only son doesn't hesitate to do so though he never actually carries...

This reminds me of the Chinese Bamboo story where it takes five years for a Chinese bamboo tree to sprout form the ground but in five weeks after that, it grows 90 feet tall. Les brown does a good job telling that story and what it means. It speaks to needing faith to grow the tree because...

I think there is this idea that God wants your money or even your only son like it was with Abraham but that's not what He really wanted. He asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son not because he wanted the son but in fact wanted his heart and used this request to give Abraham a chance to hand...

If you want to know how someone thinks then you ask that person the question of why they think the way they do. Asking anyone else is only going to get you guesses that maybe an educated one but they are still a guess that could be still wrong no matter how educated they are or appear to be. I...

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. :)

Acts 17:10-12 came to mind just now. In this passage Paul commends the Bereans for both being willing to hear his message and also go to the scriptures to see if it was true what he and his group were telling them. In other words, he commended them for substantiating his claims rather then just...

I heard that you need to have extensive close contact with the infected animal/person to catch it. This virus isn't as easy to catch as Covid and unlike Covid, this virus cannot be passed on to others while asymptomatic.

It's funny that there is always people trying to push you back under the law of which the requirements of said law were fulfilled by Jesus. By sinning, you broken the law and any attempt to follow any part of it is of no effect because breaking any one part of it equals breaking all of it. The...

I think He is just saying stop focusing on other people and what they do or don't have and instead focus on Me(Jesus). When you put the focus on others, the only thing it leads to is bitterness/resentment or the inverse of that would be pride and arrogance which are both bad. When you focus on...

It's right in the Bible for all to see. You don't believe the scriptures and don't accept them. You are not a Christian no matter what you think you are. The only thing I provided was scripture and scripture alone which clearly refutes your unbiblical stance. Your profile is not accurate for...

20 Then Noah built an altar to honor the Lord. Noah took some of all the clean birds and some of all the clean animals and burned them on the altar as a gift to God. 21 The Lord smelled these sacrifices, and it pleased him. The Lord said to himself, “I will never again curse the earth as a...
