    What about human suffering? How can God allow it?

    Pain and death are the consequences of the fall of man. The Bible says the wages of sin is death Romans 6:23. In the beginning, it was not like that.

    I'm basicallyk impatient so I tend to walk on them even though I'm on an escalator. But, I use them so infrequently I haven't really noticed what others do

    comparing 7 different denominations

    I did go to one once but realistically it is too far away to go to it on a consistent basis. Of course, I listen to messages all the time online from various churches.

    comparing 7 different denominations

    I would agree with much of what you say. It is a very brief list. I also really wasn't paying attention to the Baptist characteristics, but your also right on about what they believe. I was mainly looking at the other denominations. It is true also that contemporary can mean a lot of things...

    comparing 7 different denominations

    Yes and the Lutheran church that is closest to me is ELCA, but I don't think their social liberal views are consistent with my views. It would just be asking for trouble to go there. I noticed yesterday that they are launching a new location of a fast growing nondenominational church near the...

    comparing 7 different denominations

    Yes, I grew up in the Methodist church. There are a lot of them near me. Many of them are pretty small, but three or four seem to be growing. I do like the emphasis on discipleship in the Methodist church.

    comparing 7 different denominations

    Yes. I have said that in the past. I'm not sure that it is a deal breaker though in terms of whether or not I will attend a church. I do feel like I need something different than what I have been experiencing (if that makes any sense at all). As I understand it, the congregations you...

    comparing 7 different denominations

    This article online compares some seven different denominations. I was looking at it because I was considering visits a different denomination next Sunday. Do you think this brief list is accurate? What other key differences are there...

    Funeral song?

    when I was a chaplain in a nursing home I did a lot of funerals. MOst of them don't reflect the people the service is for. I would prefer to be cremated and have my ashes spread out at a lake or ocean. Just say a few words, sprinkle the ashes and then go eat some good food.

    Do people live in a bubble?

    I guess it depends on how exposed people are to other people groups or people who don't think like they do. My job is working with a wide variety of people, so I have been exposed to different views including religious that I don't personally have.

    How often do you clean out closet?

    I tend to mainly get rid of a few items at a time when I get new clothes. I tend to wear shoes out faster since I run, but I have had some business type shoes that I have probably had for 20 years too.

    2020: Polls Already Busy!

    I noticed Beto O'Rourke is now running as a Democrat. He reminds me of Bobby Kennedy in some ways. People seem excited about him though I don't know much about him

    What should happen to students in college admissions scam?

    They should get kicked out of the school their parents got them into and go back and apply on their own to the school they want to go to. If they can get in on their own merits then good for them

    Pelosi not for impeachment, saying Trump isn't worth it

    So, do you think she is right that starting the impeachment process would further divide the country and he isn't worth it?

    Are Catholics boring catechists?

    I know very few practicing Catholics, so I really wouldn't know.

    Experiment.

    Good thread. Somehow I missed this until now. If by contradictions you mean that sometimes numbers don't seem to match I do think there are some scribal errors along the way, but they don't take away from the meaning of the text. As far as atrocities, I am thinking of the book of Judges for...
