    Would it embarrass you if this happened?

    Why would I care? If I'm covered I'm covered.

    Web site about someone on star trek.

    Of course, just like the Death Star has enough firepower to destroy an entire planet and Emperor Palpatine rules over the entire galaxy. Spiderman can shoot webs from his fingers. Superman can fly and stop bullets. Gandalf can slam his staff into the ground and fight the Balrog. All these...

    What do you think the cup used at the Last Supper was made from?

    All this is great, but you still didn't address why it matters what the cup was made of. Maybe boats were made of wood. What difference does it make? If it was common for cups to be made of stone does that mean this specific cup must have been made of stone? It might have been made of...

    What do you think the cup used at the Last Supper was made from?

    If it mattered don't you think at least one of the gospel writers would have written it down?

    Best Christmas gift?

    Time with my family. My wife and I told our daughter we didn't need her to spend a lot of money on us, we wanted time with her and the grandchildren and memories. We have our own money to spend on ourselves but memories with her and the kids are things that no amount of money can buy.

    What do you think the cup used at the Last Supper was made from?

    The cup is a part of the story but I'm not sure why the composition of the cup matters. As NewCreation said, if it was important we might expect it to be written down. Does it matter what the plates were made of, what wood the table was made of, how thick the cloth of their clothes was, whether...

    What do you think the cup used at the Last Supper was made from?

    We can speculate but will probably never know for sure. Does it even matter?

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    It was warmer today so I decided to tick off my monthly 15k run challenge. And it felt like a challenge, it took a while for my system to feel like it warmed up and after about 7 miles I felt like I was flagging even though I wasn't going particularly fast. But I got to about 9.4 miles and then...

    Examining Christian Claims.

    Just a couple of extra thoughts that floated through my mind while I was drifting in and out of sleep. If I was able to heal the sick, raise the dead etc through a power that belonged to me and worked according to my will, you can be sure I'd be quite happy to demonstrate it to any film crew...

    Infant Baptism, Yea or Nay?

    Arguing that children are sinful is all well and good but where does it stop? The guy down the road from me is, as far as I can tell, not a Christian. He needs God's saving grace, Should I throw some water over him and consider him to be baptized, citing the many verses indicating that he needs...

    Examining Christian Claims.

    Like you, I reject position (1) so I won't explore that any further. You quite rightly note that many of the things that are very public are dramatic. Frankly I think much of it is worthless. People can fake things, even when a film crew is present. The lame can get out of their wheelchairs and...

    Infant Baptism, Yea or Nay?

    I personally wouldn't baptise an infant. To me baptism is a personal decision to repent of sin and follow Jesus, and I don't see that as something that can be done on your behalf. I don't have a problem with dedicating a child to God, acknowledging that the child is a gift and accepting the...

    Examining Christian Claims.

    Strav, these are all good questions but part of the problem with verifying them is that in many cases it's impossible to verify them outside of the context where they happened. If you take the example of the man healed in Acts 3, the people in the area knew him. They knew he was lame, and after...

    What if this happened?:

    It's really hard to know. It would certainly be a bit of both - it would be nice to know for sure whether the people who claim to like me really do like me, it would be good to know for sure who is genuine and who is not, but at the same time I imagine there would be a lot of disappointment that...

    My cousin thinks a book he is reading is going to give him godlike powers.

    This reminds me of a line from Huckleberry Finn, where Tom Sawyer said "you saying so don't make it so". Any book can make any claims it wants, and fudge over why nothing works with vague claims that people are doing it wrong.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I had a challenge to run a 10k this weekend and today was the day with the best weather to go for it. I wasn't sure how I'd do, just lately it seems the hills have really been wearing me down, I didn't sleep well last night and really expected to struggle with it. But I started out feeling...

    Being triggered is up to you

    For me I'd say that for something to count as a trigger it would have to be an involuntary response. As I mentioned in my example, if someone threw a bucket of vomit and excrement over someone the chances are they would vomit themselves, not by choice but in an involuntary response to what was...

    Understood, I wasn't meaning about exploring the Asatru faith on the board in any area (you're entirely right that this is primarily a place to discuss the Christian faith rather than promote or explore other faiths), I was thinking more about discussing things unrelated to any faith. You used...

    I won't argue with the notion that porn is harmful but it seems a bit late to be encouraging a porn free COVID quarantine, no?
