    Shouldn't Creationism be taught at public schools?

    All the time I hear Christians insist that Creationism is a science. In that case--shouldn't Creationism be taught at public schools? After all, Evolution is taught at public schools, so why not Creation Science as well?

    Jewish Hand-reading

    Although I could present another rebuttal, I will refrain, in acknowledgement of your patience and tactfulness. I don't like to debate since it often leads to pride, and I try to practice humility. Thank you for responding tactfully. At this point, I should instead present a praise report...

    Jewish Hand-reading

    With all due respect to you, sir, you are ignoring the whole point of the verse. Because the reference to hand-reading is so obvious. You had insisted on the actual mention of hands, so I have provided it to you. Yet now you ignore it. The reference is so obvious. Why else would traits be quoted...

    Jewish Hand-reading

    In that case, the conclusive proof would come from Proverbs 3:16, and I quote"Long life is in the right hand, and in the left hand are riches and honor." This obviously correlates with the hand-reading principle that both hands have to be looked at, because each hand exhibits different traits as...

    Jewish Hand-reading

    You said that you don't know how the Urim and Thummin works so it could have included hand-reading. Note that the Urim and Thummin are two words just as hand-reading calls for the reader to look at two hands. Both hands have to be looked at because each hand shows different traits as compared...

    Jewish Hand-reading

    You say that many other forms of divination were authorized to be used. What are they? I believe Joshua 18:6-10 has another one, the casting of lots. My understanding is that it was either the tossing of sticks to be interpreted, or the rolling of stone dice to be interpreted. The tossing of...

    Jewish Hand-reading

    The Hand-reading is actually similar to the divination of the Urim & Thummin from the Christian Bible, specifically the verse Ezra 2:63 "consult the Urim and Thummin, the sacred lots." So both Judaism as well as Christianity use divination. Obviously Judaism and Christianity have that shared...

    Jewish Hand-reading

    Although everyone is born with strengths and weaknesses; if they are identified early, we may further develop the strengths and improve our weakness, so that the left and right brain may grow in a more balanced way. Congenital potentialities are shown in one hand, while those shown in the...

    To continue about the palm-patterns in Dermatoglyphics, they are like a map that leads one to understand his own potential and talents. Everyone inherits innate intelligence from their parents. And everybody has genetic parents, and have the innate intelligence from their parents. If one’s...

    Analysis of the palm has become scientifically accepted as the diagnostic tool known as Dermatoglyphics:(excerpt from dermatoglyphics.org) (How it can determine genetic anomalies as well as mental-emotional traits) Western scientists believe that dermatoglyphics is the DNA genes in the human...

    Christian-variation of Cribbage

    To answer your question, the Christian variation is cooperative in that the participants help each other to achieve a collective score. That's why the pegging is done on a single track instead of multiple. And there are other rules in the game too. The point is that the Christian variation is...

    Christian-variation of Cribbage

    This is the classic game of Cribbage but the variation that uses Christian principles. If there are any of you who are interested, I am forming a club here in Honolulu.

    Jewish Hand-reading

    Has anyone else studied the book Jewish Hand-Reading, by Dr. Matthew Levi? Also known as cabbalistic palmistry, it has to do with the Jewish Tree of Life. Dr. Levi explains that the Palmistry is derived and/or used in conjunction with that diagram. In other words, the 10 sephirots seen in the...

    The astonishing number of Americans contemplating suicide

    So sorry about your sister. The reason I sympathize for her is because my own friend actually committed suicide from bipolar, the same mental illness that your sister currently has. Her name was Linda and I knew she was bipolar but I never knew it was so agonizing that she would kill yourself...
