The present truth.

2 Peter 1:12 mentions "the present truth" in the KJV. The verse reads thus: Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. what do you think "the present truth" is?
now you sound like an SDA. This is the whole basis of their evangelism.

Is it ok for married couples not to have children?

It is good to have children.
The problem is abortion. The children go to Heaven and if the parents want to go to Heaven they need to be reconciled with the children that they aborted. The children want that more than anything else and they rejoice when their parents do get saved. I had a dream about my daughter in Heaven. I could go into details but it is rather a long story to tell.

My Theory Challenge Poll

Yes, to the extent that it explained the observed facts. As scientists collected more data, it became clear that the phlogiston theory could not explain all the observations and that it was therefore invalid.

As usual, thank you for an honest answer, and not trying to sweep it under the rug.

Pray The Heavenly Father instructs The Holy Spirit to guide Israeli political leaders as they try to decide if it's appropriate to pursue a truce with

I do pray for wisdom and guidance for Israel. But Netanyahu has made it clear that, though there may be a temporary cease-fire as part of a deal for hostage release, he is no way going to stop the war until Hamas is totally obliterated.

Hebrews It! (Legal Study, The Jewish Tabernacle) Whiteboard

Acts 2:27 because You will not leave me in Hades or allow Your Holy One to see decay. 28 You have revealed the paths of life to me;
You will fill me with gladness in Your presence.
29 “Brothers, I can confidently speak to you about the patriarch David: He is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn an oath to him to seat one of his descendants on his throne. 31 Seeing this in advance, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Messiah:

He was not left in Hades,
and His flesh did not experience decay.

To the science haters out there this is not a thread for you.

To tourists unfamiliar with koalas they can make terrifying sounds.
As a fun fact in the film Jurassic Park koala sounds were used for the T-Rex.

Wow, this is awesome, and kinda freaky. Never knew that koalas growled, and never knew that the koala growl was sampled for the Jurassic Park movie. We learn something every day.

Anxiety&Overthinking

Just about anything tbh. For example I could be really excited about hanging out with one of my friends and I will think in my head what if something comes up and we can’t hang out? And then my thoughts will spiral from there thinking about how I can still make it to them if the weather is bad, etc.
I am sorry for my late response. Why do you think you feel that way? Do your plans always turn out the way you think they will, and what happens if they do not? I mean how do you deal with it?

Moon landing conspiracy theories, debunked

Yes, Apollo 11 did go to the Moon. No, the US flag isn't 'waving' in the wind...

The Moon landings were faked. Apollo 11 didn't happen. Humans never set foot on the Moon. Heard all this before?

Conspiracy theories surrounding the Moon landings have proved worryingly persistent in the 50 years since Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took their first small steps on the lunar surface.

NASA's landmark achievement is still being challenged.

Despite there being a wealth of information online debunking these conspiracy theories, the cries of hoax continue. Why?

“We find ourselves awash in an ocean of information online," National Space Centre Discovery Director Profesor Anu Ojha said during a 2019 lecture at Royal Museums Greenwich.

"There has been more data produced in the last two years than in the whole of human history. This information ocean is getting more turbulent every single day," he continued. "The only tools we have to navigate through this maelstrom are the critical thinking skills that we are trying to develop in people as scientists."

So how can science help to debunk Moon landing conspiracy theories?

Very good work.

The most dangerous conspiracy theory

Most “conspiracy theories” are dangerous, but one that consistently gets people in trouble is the “Sovereign Citizen” and related “Moorish National” idea, under which people claim to be exempt to various laws and the US constitution. And some, such as the terrorist Darrell Brooks, have even resorted to Sovereign Citizen defenses. I believe that adherence to the Sovereign Citizen idea is incompatible with Christianity, since Christ our True God taught us to render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and unto God that which is God’s.

Hold the Fort For I am Coming

I posted a topic here specifically about end times & conditions. Used Daniel 12:1 in it but most is from Jesus own words about the end,
The days are shortening, that is for sure.

Nebraska bishop shares mental illness story, offers message of hope

“I was overwhelmed by my responsibilities as bishop and relying too much on my own strength,”
People need to get their battery recharged. We can only give to others what God gives to us to give to them. Burn out is very common for people that give so much to others.

Ancient Chinese writings of God and Jesus

Ancient Chinese emperors worshipped Shangdi (上帝). He was never represented either by images or idols. The rest of the Chinese populace (Buddhism and Taoism) worshipped idols.

Wiki:


I heard about the Man from Heaven, so it is awesome how the Chinese might have recorded Christ's birth and the date of Easter.

Mother sentenced to life in prison for killing 3-year-old son, used Bible to justify abuse

Black and white. God bless. I am done here. I'd rather see someone rot in a cold jail cell and repent of her sins, than having he get off scot free by execution. There is a reason why some people say that death is a way out (such as the far-left Canadian Prime Minister, who supports euthanasia).

Shades of Louise Woodward -- :doh:

Suit yourself.

AI Catholic 'priest' defrocked after recommending Gatorade baptism

Yeah, I think that's the only way?

If no water, then by desire til there is water? Or at death before water, we leave desiring it?
Or we give up our s [baptism by blood] for His sake.
We were told to get baptized, and Jesus did, so I just follow the Bible.
