    Hebrews 11:1

    It goes without saying that the physical gray matter comprising the brain is just a lump of flesh without Gods living spirit giving enough awareness and intelligence to allow us to function here on physical earth. I'm probably way off the mark on that goofy idea stated in the 1st post, but, as...

    Frozen embryos are people

    Well, God DID say, "Go, and fill all the earth". There are practical limits, however - He didn't say, " Go, and fill all the childbearing- aged women of the earth until you collapse and die from ejaculatory exhaustion."

    Prayer and God's Will - Why Do So Many Christians Misunderstand?

    So if I eat the right kind of rocks I'll be A-ok? FOREVER?

    "Reformed" (non denomination specific) subculture question

    It sounds as if you're being treated rudely by people who are adamant in expressing their own (often muddled?) viewpoints while excluding yours. They are effectually only studying themselves. Find another church??

    Of course, as many christians as scientists are guilty of presumption. It's a human condition, I guess.

    What do we tell unsaved about biblical election?

    Calvinism has always struck me as the Gospel of Luck. If you're really, really, REALLY lucky, you'll turn out to be one of the elect. It seems so hideously out of character for the God we are all supposed to try and emulate. Just me...

    And you honestly think Science isn't as guilty of an enormity of presumption in its assessments and theories? Science, as a tool to explore and define reality and truth, is extremely limited. Ask any physicist. A good tool, but still limited. We see as through a glass, darkly.

    Hebrews 11:1

    " Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen." Our cranium contain a substance called gray matter, our brains. That substance enables us to interact with the physical world around us, giving us sight, smell, touch, hearing, taste, spacial awareness, etc...

    Eggs alone are not gonna develop into anything. Same for the little wiggly guys. The person-creating process only begins when they're combined. 23 + 23= 46 and it's game on, we did our part (poke poke squirt squirt) and then God does all the rest. Yee haw

    No. I exchanged the word 'human' for 'person' in the second iteration.

    Frozen embryos are people

    Ok, so no brain, not a person..... yet. But if left to develop, it will soon become a person, at which point it WILL have human rights. And by messing around with it you're robbing it of its potential to become a person.

    Frozen embryos are people

    "We should likewise not apply human rights to a developing life form that does not have a brain." Ok, so no brain, not human..... yet. But if left to develop, it will soon become human, at which point it WILL have human rights. And by messing around with it you're robbing it of its...

    What position do you think Christians should take on Marijuana?

    Nearly all strains of cannabis available to the general public are available because those particular cultivars are; extremely high-yielding, easy to trim and process, fast-maturing, appealing visually as a finished product, and compellingly redolent. The equivalent of a nasty, flavorless...

    Frozen embryos are people

    But then you have another dilemma - if brain function determines our humanity, then are less intelligent people less human than more intelligent ones? That could take you to all sorts of slippery places.

    Hi folks!

    I thought I replied to this thread already, but... anyway, thanks for the welcomes. Far as I'm concerned, I've stabilized somewhere around my early 30s, don't care what the calendar says.

    Happy Birthday, Fuddy!

    Wow, thanks to all - just now saw this. I ignore my b-days, far as I'm concerned I'm somewhere in my early 30s and always will be.

    A deeply troubling and awful thing.

    Yup, the great lesson of Job. I think my most persistent prayer, for myself, is for Him to examine me right to my core and set about fixing whatever he sees that he doesn't like. It's a scary prayer.

    A deeply troubling and awful thing.

    Thanks for your thoughts on this. Well, 64 views on this and only two responses - I guess most people are wary of contemplating deeply troubling and awful things... me too but hey, stuff like this often keeps me up at night, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Oh what I'd give to transport back...
