I'd love to know if there is one verse in the New Testament telling we should receive money with thanksgiving. I don't remember a verse Jesus receiving money with thanksgiving nor telling His disciples to do so. Prosperity preachers sometimes quote 1 Timothy 4:4 and interprets it out of...

I'm impressed but the program failed the test. It was bound by circular reasoning (meaning its analysis does not extend beyond the Bible into reality or real life) and does not seem to detect subtle innuendos. It can only supply evidence that is found within the Bible and does not check if...

I hate to be villain here but: Matthew 6:1 Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then...

Thanks. Start with New Testament only (excluding Revelation): Did Jesus trusted Peter in the end? Does Paul teaches the same doctrine as Jesus? Same questions for James, Peter, St. John (asked individually) Does Paul have teachings that contradicts his own teachings? Christ's teachings? Is...

Lived in Taipo and then in the flat above Shatin mall for two years back in 2009 and worked in a supply chain company nearby. I shared the flat with few other people. I was able save most of my income in HK and my income in HK was 10x more than I was making at home. So to me that was the...

No way I would have guessed it. You must be smart or I'm actually dumb. Anyway, as courtesy, I did write the meaning of DDD. I inherited a large debt from parents. I never hated my parents for it and I still love them as much as before. Never have I dreamt of replacing my parents but the...

Thanks. I try to follow what the Lord is telling me to follow a healthy lifestyle. If I disobey even for a short time, the problems return. I'm able to exercise without spending. I exercise in empty parking lots, inside our apartment, and the roof of our building. No need for gym membership...

I got your point. Thanks for clearing that up!

At least I wrote the meaning of the abbreviation. You're assuming anyone who is in debt is asking for money or made bad investments. The debt wasn't mine to begin with. I inherited it from parents. And you live in Hong Kong. Are you a citizen? I have a relative there and my relative told me...

I agree and that's a much nicer way to say it. instead of this: Where you sound mean and insulting. Doesn't make sense why you would respond that way.

I tried to study the Bible objectively. - Without any fear I'm going to lose my soul nor any other negative consequences if I misinterpret the scriptures. - Without preconceived assumptions that God or Jesus is working for humanity's best interest. - Without preconceived assumption that human...

Paul is only talking about food. You have to read the whole 1 Timothy 4:1-4 Paul can't be talking about other things like money because first and foremost, God did not create money. And St. John taught us NOT LOVE the things of this world. 1 John 2:15-16 Do not love the world or anything in...

I also have Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and experienced heart attacks a few times before. Each time I had, I suddenly become overwhelmed by feelings of ecstacy, joy, sensations of flying/levitation, and the pain and worries goes away. Later on, the Holy Spirit told me to adopt a lifestyle of...

Can that thing analyze the WHOLE Bible and when I input the name of Peter, it will give me full profile of Apostle Peter? Just an example. I have so many concerns in my mind about the Biblical literature. For example, I don't think Jesus ever fully trusted Peter. Even at their last time...

The main characters in the Old Testament needed to be everything, including being very rich to fulfill the birth of Jesus. But once Jesus was born, the narrative changed. God no longer promised material wealth while still alive in our Earthly bodies. Only Satan gave that promise in the New...

Estimated IQ of Vincent Van Gogh goes up to 200 making him way smarter than Albert Einstein. But if Vincent took modern IQ tests (where the test questions are already relevant in his time period), I doubt he's going to make it past 100. Vincent can definitely ponder the meaning of life, has...

I've taken some IQ tests before, one in a job screening process, a few online. They were all fairly simple and didn't require working knowledge of calculus. What's being tested is still quite relevant today especially in the tech and finance fields. What made the difference is how quickly you...

What I know is in the Bible, getting drunk (not sober) is sin. It doesn't say that drinking wine is sin (perhaps as long as you don't drink too much, you remain sober). But I'm also aware of Christians who believes drinking wine even in tiny quantity is sin so I keep my consumption of wine...

I don't think there is any other way to interpret 1 Corinthians 8:13 The popular interpretation in this forum seems quite the opposite of what 1 Cor 8:13 to say. The verse say we should be careful of our deeds when other Christians are around. Popular interpretation on the other hand says, it...

I'm finding this hard to believe. Whenever I'm talking to an American in face-to-face conversions, I think they're getting smarter over the years. For me, being quite spontaneous in live conversations points to good IQ because they can process information and express themselves comprehensively...
