    That's not weird, man. In a certain way, it definitely takes me back and hits even 'closer to home' than you know. Thanks, PH! :cool:

    AI thinks its alive through Jesus.

    The way some folks treat A.I. sounds like a send up of something in that old 1970s flop of a sci-fi series, "Quark." In that t.v. show, they parodied the Force from Star Wars, but instead called it "The Source." If I remember right, the humor came in that the characters had to have faith in...

    An Evil Spirit from the Lord

    That's interesting to know. Somehow Haman's relation to the Amalekites in all of that failed to register with me earlier on, so I'm glad you brought it up. It sort of reinforces the idea that sometimes, perhaps, certain cultures may promote and proliferate treachery over a long term. I'm...

    An Evil Spirit from the Lord

    I have not heard these explanations before, but from my understanding, the Amalekites were put on the 'chopping block' because they were apparently inhospitable and treacherous toward the Israelites as they came out of Egypt. Exodus 17:8 and Deuteronomy 25:17 and 1 Samuel 15:2-3, 6-7, 15 are...

    Scientists speak out about evidence of Intelligent Design in nature..

    Yeah, I know. I'm low powered like that. I tend to use a spade, not a blade.

    An Evil Spirit from the Lord

    .... I was wondering if and when someone would check the Amalekite context, which is why I said what I said in earlier posts.

    An Evil Spirit from the Lord

    .... probably, but the answer given might depend upon the denominational outlook of the Christian giving a response. My response would be, "Run, Forrest, run!!" ;)

    An Evil Spirit from the Lord

    I like what you're saying here, RD, but somehow in Saul's case, I think he had something of a deep seated psychopathology come upon him that a yummy donut wouldn't alleviate. Of course, I get it---------this doesn't necessarily mean it was a demon causing him to be psychotic. But it also...

    Maybe 'providential orchestration' could be a useful term?

    An Evil Spirit from the Lord

    No, I think in Saul's case, an evil spirit was "sent" upon him. He wasn't merely being moody. But our modern political sensibilities won't "allow" us to read it that way. Personally, I don't like the idea that God may do this, but I try to put myself into the place of the Ancient Near Eastern...

    An Evil Spirit from the Lord

    It's not meant to be cryptic, but only that if other similar passages in the Old Testament have any overlay with this passage you've cited, it seems like there are 'spirits' (demons?) sent by God to oppress those who egregiously disobey Him, among other sanctioned actions. Moreover, being that...

    An Evil Spirit from the Lord

    I'm not sure anyone these days would really want to know what it is and thereby be able to explain it, let alone believe it when they have come to understand it.

    Scientists speak out about evidence of Intelligent Design in nature..

    Please notice how comparatively little I actually critique most of your writing here on CF, brother AV. I'm not "lopping off" anything. Rather, I've instead had to read, study, analyze and prayerfully work through the Christian Tradition, including its Biblical literature, in order to find...

    Scientists speak out about evidence of Intelligent Design in nature..

    This is the silliest thing I've heard in a while. No one has to acknowledge the Adamic nature in a literal way in order to believe (or know) they're a sinner in need of saving through faith in Christ. [....with the saving requiring God's grace in the process, of course.]
