    Saint Irene, prayer and poem

    I know nothing of Eastern Orthodox belief, how and by whom are saints declared saints and what is their (the saints) role in it?

    The Narrow Gate

    Well, here's something no one ever seems to want to consider: In the story of Lazarus and the Rich Man, how did Lazarus enter heaven? Remember that this was said directly by Jesus and every aspect of everything Jesus said is true (both then and now). There are always more lessons in Jesus'...

    Discrepancy between Esther 4:16 and 5:1?

    What do you think I am objecting to? And which two versus are you referring to? As I said, this is how I approach things in question about the Bible, I look to see how it is true rather than just say it isn't. You're welcome to do it any way you wish, but I find it a little offensive too...

    Discrepancy between Esther 4:16 and 5:1?

    FWIW, When I find a 'discrepancy' in the Bible I don't look to find the fault lying within the Bible and what it is saying but in myself in that I don't understand it and need to work on my own understanding of what is being said instead. Better to look for how it is true than ignoring it as...

    Here's why the "free will" argument cannot be justified if God is all good

    So you're now starting to grasp free will. You can alter any of those situations by the freedom of your will to create different ones or choose between the options available as you please. We can't control the nature of reality, but we can choose what we do in relation to it.

    Here's why the "free will" argument cannot be justified if God is all good

    Ponder this: When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

    Here's why the "free will" argument cannot be justified if God is all good

    I think you may want to define exactly what 'free will' means to you. That would insure you and others are actually talking about the same thing.

    I don't find belief to be volitional and I don't understand why the majority does

    I did far more than that in my bedroom with my chemistry set and a few additions to it when was 10. I don't see that as supporting anything you claim about alchemy or any other other magical stuff. I see nothing out of the ordinary taking place, something anyone can do no matter what their...

    Here's why the "free will" argument cannot be justified if God is all good

    You have the choice to comply or not comply, and how you do so as well. Is that choice not free will? Letting your own fear control you or not is your own free will choice, perhaps you do not understand free will. It means your conscious actions originate in you, not in your environment, and...

    I don't find belief to be volitional and I don't understand why the majority does

    OK, we all state things poorly sometimes. But something like a picture of a skyscraper certainly indicates that real science works, or a rocket launch, or an automobile driving down the road. These things are not imaginary. If, as you claim, alchemy is a real thing then you should be able...

    I don't find belief to be volitional and I don't understand why the majority does

    Sorry, but this seems to be an admission that you simply can't do what you say you can do through alchemy. FWIW, relieving a headache is often more subjective than objective (ever hear of the placebo effect?) and Tylenol is not a product of alchemy, it's a product of real medical science using...

    Genetic Alteration - Messing With God's Design?

    Well, I would say that a genetically modified organism of any type, including human, is not what God created but an altered form of it. Popularity or lack thereof for gene modification by vaccine does not change that, one of those wide road and narrow road things to my way of thinking. I doubt...

    Here's why the "free will" argument cannot be justified if God is all good

    I'm giving you a chance to further refine your views on the non existence of free will, something you seem unwilling to do. And no, I do not agree that being at gunpoint means there is no free choice at all. We all chose our actions, and that choice is free will.

    Here's why the "free will" argument cannot be justified if God is all good

    So in your gunpoint example, does the guy pointing the gun have any choice about pointing it or about at whom he points it? For that matter, did he have any choice about acquiring it in the first place

    I don't find belief to be volitional and I don't understand why the majority does

    So show us some examples of your works using that practical science, something maybe on the order of real and observable objective cause/effect demonstrations of it doing something practical in the real world that all can see and not question. Over the many decades of my life, I've heard many...

    I don't find belief to be volitional and I don't understand why the majority does

    You seem to have some rather strange beliefs for someone that calls himself a Humanist. Perhaps you are not?

    USA Mysterious drones in multiple US states

    I think they're ours, probably being used for some kind of tactical ability testing. It would seem far too easy to identify a foreign one and locate where the operator(s) are for it to be someone else's and way too expensive for an amateur organization to be conducting. But that's just what...

    Hebrews 11:1

    You learned that from the Bible? Or you were taught it by secular sources? Consider Proverbs 23:7: "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."

    Hebrews 11:1

    How do you equate 'mind' as being resident within the brain in the bible?

    Hebrews 11:1

    Study what is said (in the Bible) about the thoughts , desires, and condition of our heart. The brain isn't referred to at all.
