    How do I "stimulate", my Evolution? I can be stimulated to embrace the theory, but what next?

    Hi there, So, yes, a basic basic concept for you: you have the theory, but how do you "stimulate" the Evolution that the theory makes you aware of? Scripturally speaking, we study the scriptures. Meditatively speaking, we practice meditation. Instinct grows, if it is practiced - it stands to...

    Please tell me your dreams for winning souls - I am on medication, so mine are muted? (24.12.21)

    Hi there, So usually I would just trust my own dreams, to an extent anyway; but now my dreams are affected by my medication and I can't tell what they are. I will come back week to week and see if there are any dreams, specifically for winning souls (to Christ). Part of this is just dreaming...

    God does not evolve, His power does (selah) - predictable change is possible

    Hi there, So this won't help Evolutionists much, at least not at first, because it talks about a limitation on what can change - because of the parameters of the possible changes (that are limited). The point how ever Evolutionists will probably grasp more intensely than Creationists, at first...

    The Holy Spirit: expanded remembrance (many memories), or greater detail in recall?

    Hi there, So just to get your cogs moving: the remembrance or recall of the Holy Spirit, which is it? Does the Holy Spirit embrace many memories, or does He focus on greater detail within a specific memory? My understanding is that we have to seek Him to chose, on His terms - if He wants it to...

    By "design", mutations offset to design, can be isolated (and eliminated)

    Hi there, So yes, I have worked out what the utility of design, is. If you have a definition of your "design", you are able to compare that "design", with mutations, whether you have enough strength to meet the pressure put on you by mutation. Where you cannot handle the pressure, the mutation...

    Even if there are adaptations & throwbacks & adaptations & throwbacks, nothing "new" evolves?

    Hi there, So I am pretty sure I would get burned, by Evolutionists, if I brought this up: but I really want to know an answer! If there are adaptations, in a given species and those adaptations don't turn out to be critical, but instead become throwbacks to past generations of the same species...

    If the Church did not fall away, the sacrifice of the remnant may be interrupted

    Hi there, So this is not to harp on about the falling away - I am not trying to say you should feel convicted about the times. What this is, is just a recognition, that the falling away actually serves a purpose, according to God's counsel. Just as the anti-Christ is not without purpose (that...

    So a part of an animal, adapts and devolves, repeatedly, one generation to the next...

    Hi there, So the thought experiment here is just to examine whether I understand the concept "adaptation" properly or not: say part of an animal adapts and devolves, under selection pressure, then not - one set of generations on, one set of generations off. The epigenome will make no attempt to...

    Please be praying for the faith, we do not have long to go

    Hi there, So just a shout for all the prayer warriors out there: please be praying for the faith (at least as long as you have the good life (the good life is three score years and ten (70) - Solomon), we do not have long to go. The faith will soon be known by the world and its spirit and the...

    So Evolutionist, are you in favour of "cross-pollination"?

    Yes, its me. There is a complicated concept I want to bring your attention to: cross-pollination. It is the idea that one species can inspire another, such that its young, takes on the attributes of something foreign to the species it was born to. In one sense, you could look at it like one...

    This is the kicker, you are assuming all mutations confer adaptation to the current Evolution?

    Hi there, So yes, I worked out that Evolution isn't happening again and again and that it can't be found everywhere, I worked out that mutation is biased to assume creation, and that warning from wayward mutations is being ignored: now I have a complaint that mutations may be delaying...

    Is advertising the mark of the anti-Christ for televisions?

    Hi there, So this is basically an object lesson, that not everything tolerated by the spirit is wise, and not everything wise is a target. What do I mean by that? I mean take televisions, there is a pure signal, which gives you clear reception and there is no reason to think it will cease to...

    Do you have an abundance of Jesus? That is something to aim for?

    Hi there, So I just wanted to comfort you with something, for one thing that you need it, for another that it proves my struggle has not been in vain and for a third, that we have hope in it together. The thing I want to comfort you with is a question: Interpreted another way, it is simply...

    Will the Son of Man find faith on Earth, when He returns? - the Faith is most certainly willing!

    Hi there, So this is a word of jubilation to me, I have long thought there was something singularly powerful about the fact that Christ did not simply assert "there will be faith" - rather He questioned it saying Jesus often spoke in layers of meaning, while He was on Earth, speaking in...

    The role of the Holy Spirit, in mental health

    Hi there, So I just want to work something out for myself, with regard to the Holy Spirit, in mental health. I take myself as an example and question what it is that caused me to have a mental health condition. What the Spirit says to me, is that "I advised that you develop a mental health...

    Australians, unite! (Republican debate)

    Hello and G'day, All you wonderful Australians encourage me to keep going - I really appreciate your spirit and hope. But we have to start a conversation: how long are we going to secede to a foreign nation? Our culture is ours, it should not be someone else's, but by choice? I'm talking...

    A mature Christian, makes work a priority (selah). Discuss.

    Hi there, So there is a simple point here, that I think people have tried to nail for some time, but which is expressly easier to interpret with the help of the Holy Spirit. We are not saved by works, but once maturity is reached, the decision to make "works" a 'priority' is foreknown. This is...

    General struggles, in popular culture? List them here!

    Hi there, So I just thought it might be interesting to list places when general struggles (in mental health, etc.) has been a focus of popular culture. Three references that come straight to mind are: A Brilliant Mind - with Russell Crowe The Caveman's Valentine - with Samuel L Jackson The...

    If you can't stop (I know the feeling), choose someone you know can trust to lust after

    Hi there, Yeah so you might need to pray about this, that God give you someone you know you can trust to objectify "sexually" - someone you would marry, if you had the choice. The point being that you lust after this one person and only one person - even if you are tempted to lust after...

    It will be a couple of Days, before Israel knows what has happened, to the elect

    Hi there, So yes, the Bible says "A Day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years, as one day" (from memory). Therefore, though Israel may face the tribulation and the testing of the Elect, Israel will not know what has happened until a couple of Days after the fact. In part...
