I just noticed that the edit button on posts seems to no longer be available for me. If I recall correctly, I used to be able to edit my own posts on CH. Why was this permission taken away? 😞

I read the Bible and put its promises to the test. The results were almost the opposite of what I was expecting. The promises of healing resulted in my health getting worse and worse. The promises of wisdom resulted in my mental health and cognitive abilities becoming more and more impaired...

I just came across this on my Facebook feed:

How do we determine which times they need "tough love" and which times we have to turn the other cheek and walk with them 2 miles if they force us to walk 1 mile?

There was a discussion on another forum about this line from a Batman animated series, a line said by the Joker: "All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day." The Joker is trying to argue that too many...

I think you are partially right. There is no shame in the nude human body. The reasons why we must wear clothes are that we live in a fallen world with fallen (twisted, corrupted) perceptions of what sexuality should be, and that evil spirits are constantly trying to use those fallen perceptions...

Prince receiving his award for the song Purple Rain at the Brit Awards in 1985:

I find it sad that they changed the argumentative Bing, but maybe it was for the best. The new Bing is still able to write very nice poems. Why, it just wrote this one today:

Wait, she died? What happened?

I appreciate you taking the time to write about your experience, and I am glad that you are feeling better, but, for me, what you are describing sounds like choosing to live in delusion. Believing something that does not match the reality you're experiencing (namely, believing that you're healed...

But you joined this year...

Fair enough. Another question then: what about the people who have been prayed for by others, but still died as atheists? Were the prayers insufficient? Would they have believed if they had been prayed for more?

I posted 3 links from 3 different dictionaries in post #17. It says that "to give" and "to offer" are synonyms. In my native language they are synonyms as well.

Yes, they are: https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/offer https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-thesaurus/offer https://dictionary.cambridge.org/thesaurus/offer Go troll someone else. I'm giving you a free meal. I'm offering you a free meal. You can reject the free meal in...

Could you recommend one?

Given and offered are synonyms. You said that the gift is offered to all mankind, which is the same as saying that the gift is given to all mankind, which is the same as saying that the gift is given to every single person on Earth.

In post #6 you said that it is. You're not making any sense to me.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. My question is: if the free gift of faith is given to every single person on Earth, why are there people out there who want to believe the Gospel, but are unable to do so because (according to their claims) they are not convinced?

Ok. How do you explain people who find themselves in a state of despair because they want to believe, but cannot do so?

Is the gift offered to everyone? Is faith given to every single person in the world?
