    Hymn of the week thread

    Our church sang the hymn, O Lord My God, When I In Awesome Wonder. It's been a while since I heard that one, and it was one I particularly appreciated. I've been thinking a lot about worship as a weapon against the darkness, and when those words appeared on the screen I had to smile even before...

    Can all believers cast out demons?

    It's sad when this sort of thing happens, it doesn't take very many kooks and charlatans to smear the reputation of the genuine. Sadly whenever there's an opportunity for some glory there's someone tempted to take it for themselves. Hence the people who claim to have special revelations...

    USA States Redistricting

    Political parties try to gain an advantage by redrawing maps, however bizarre the maps need to be. As a wise man once wrote, there's nothing new under the sun.

    Do you look like your spouse?

    Well, I have two arms, two legs, a head, a fairly generic human outline so in that respect I bear some resemblance to my wife. I don't think anyone would have too much trouble telling us apart though.

    Tough Love or Help?

    This is a really difficult balancing act. It's hard to see people, especially people we care about, struggling with a situation when we know we could either help or make the entire situation go away. Help with too many conditions can become controlling; help with too few conditions can become...

    Physical Therapy for knee

    My wife twisted her knee a while back and had a few sessions with a physiotherapist. They gave her specific exercises to do between appointments. It's probably better to figure out what's wrong with your niece's knee and exercise accordingly - if her condition is different the wrong exercises...

    Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks Aug 12-13

    Last night my wife and I went to the top of a nearby mountain to get away from light pollution. We saw one, then enjoyed a view of the clouds that rolled in. We got home and saw two within a minute. The night before I watched from the driveway and saw half a dozen or so including a couple of...

    Burgers besides beef?

    I've had burgers made of chicken, lamb, elk, buffalo. Maybe others that I forgot over the years.

    How to identify a valid pastor.

    Micro evolution, otherwise known as adaptation, can be demonstrated in a few weeks in a laboratory using microbes. I forget the details of the research, I read a paper describing an experiment in about 1990 written by some researchers in the United Kingdom. Being over 30 years ago I forget the...

    How to identify a valid pastor.

    Simply reasserting your point doesn't change anything. I see little purpose in continuing to engage with you, since that's about all you're doing here.

    How to identify a valid pastor.

    This simply isn't true. There are forms of adaption, aka micro evolution, that can be demonstrated in a laboratory in a matter of weeks. The idea that life appeared out of nothing and then evolved into what we see today has some evidence supporting it and a whole host of unanswered questions...

    Headaches

    If you're on the computer a lot it could easily be eye strain. If you look at a bright screen in a dark room that can cause problems. Sometimes if I sleep in a room that's too light I wake with a headache because my eyes tried to push too far up to shut out the light, and the result is my eye...

    People who lie to God?

    The fact someone knows the truth doesn't mean we can't lie to them. I'm sure we all lied to our parents when we were children, and at least some of the time they knew very well we were lying. God knows we're lying but that doesn't force us to be honest with either God or with ourselves. If we...

    Proof of God For Science Types

    If you read the following posts you'll see it. I don't feel like rehashing it all but from what I recall the original post could be summarised as little more than "I believe it to be true, the Bible says it's true, therefore it's true". In a group of Christians it's reasonable to assume we all...

    Proof of God For Science Types

    Honestly, we went all over this in the previous dozens of posts, I don't feel like rehashing it again.

    Proof of God For Science Types

    I suspect when multiple people in the same thread, all of whom agree with the faith under discussion, make the same allegation about circular reasoning there might be some merit to the allegation.

    Proof of God For Science Types

    Well, the fact I list myself as a Christian suggests I agree that evidence exists that points towards a creator, and that the creator is the God of the Bible. My issue isn't that there is a lack of evidence supporting the Christian faith, my issue is with the original poster essentially posting...

    Lost Dogs

    If they are aggressive they'll probably get a shot of pepper spray. If they aren't aggressive I'll leave them alone. I don't care for dogs, and certainly wouldn't put an unknown dog in my car or my house.
