@FightofFaith If the words of Christ are true(John 14:12-14) and if you are a True Believer then direct your energy to the Bible Belt and rid them of pornography.

There was a woman in college who I really wanted to date but she wouldn't go out with me because she said she was was a Christian and I wasn't.
She told me that she and her study group prayed for me, that's why I said she only claimed to be a Christian, had she been a True Christian John 14:12-14 would have converted me.

@RomaEvangelist @5Solas2 That's either 76 or 77 on the list of the 194 ways to be saved according to the Bible.

But Romans 5:18 and 11:32 implies that *everyone* will be saved.

@5Solas2 1st Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
Do you even bother to read the Bible?

Numbers 31 seems to be the general rule.
Kill all the males.
7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
Then kill the male children and women who weren't virgins.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
Keep the rest but you don't have to marry them.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

@penley153 @David_wthebeard The same can be said about most of the the 40,000 plus versions of Christianity.

There is a difference between just reading the Bible and studying it. Those that study it frequently become atheists and atheists tend to be liberal.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a fact of history that changed the world forever.

Divinely Designed@DivinelyDesined
It is a fact of history that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. No other explanation can account for all the data. Here is what we know for a fact happened in history: 1. Jesus Christ was killed by crucifixion. 2. He was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, a rich man and member of the Sanhedrin - formerly his enemy. 3. Jesus' death caused the disciples to despair and lose hope, believing that their leader was dead. 4. Jesus' tomb was found empty a few days later. 5. The disciples had experiences that they believed were literal appearances of the risen Jesus. 6. As a result of these experiences, the disciples were transformed from fearful doubters into bold proclaimers of the resurrection message. 7. This message was taught very early, within months of the crucifixion. 8. The disciples were willing to suffer and die for their belief in the resurrection. 9. James, the skeptical brother of Jesus who had not believed in him during his ministry, became a follower after an experience he believed was an appearance of the risen Christ. 10. Saul of Tarsus (later known as Paul), who was an enemy and persecutor of the early church, became one of Christianity's most prolific evangelists after an experience he believed was an appearance of the risen Jesus. 11. The resurrection message was the central proclamation of the early church and led to its rapid growth despite intense and oftentimes brutal persecution. 12. The resurrection account was proclaimed in Jerusalem, the very city where the events occurred, where enemies of Christianity could have easily disproven it, if false. They didn't. No explanation can account for all of these facts of history except that Jesus Christ of Nazareth really did rise from the dead, as prophesied in the Old Testament for thousands of years. He is Risen Indeed!

The apostle Paul rightly said: “If Christ has not been raised your faith is in vain.”
But Christ was raised. He defeated death and changed the world, and today we celebrate the miracle of His resurrection.
Happy Easter everyone, God bless you.

ELON MUSK: SpaceX will build a mass driver on the moon.
"If you want to go beyond a mere terawatt per year, you have to go to the moon. So by having factories on the moon, building AI satellites and having a mass driver, which is the kind of thing you really need to learn about in read about in science fiction, but we're going to make it real. We're actually going to have a mass driver on the moon.
And if you do that, you can go several orders of magnitude greater. You can go to 1000 gigawatts or more per year, and ultimately get to maybe a millionth, and then a 1,000th and maybe even a few percent of the sun's energy.
I really want to see the mass driver on the moon that is shooting AI satellites into deep space just go like just one after the other. I can't imagine anything more epic than a mass driver on the moon and a self sustaining city on the moon, and then going beyond the moon to Mars, going throughout our solar system, and ultimately, being out there among the stars and visiting all these star systems, maybe we'll meet aliens. Maybe we'll meet see some civilizations that lasted for millions of years, and we'll find the remnants of ancient alien civilizations. But the only way we're going to do that, do that, do that is if we go out there and we explore, and this is the path to making it happen."

@whynotstartt @piratesinc @cb_doge I've been reading science fiction since about 1950. There is nothing decades ahead in his thinking and his idea about tunnels hasn't caught up with 1950s comic books.

@piratesinc @MikeFromHC @cb_doge Yeap,while some are stuck debating trunk space…
he’s thinking decades ahead,mass drivers on the Moon, AI satellites, self-sustaining cities.
That’s why the vision feels straight out of sci-fi, only Elon’s actually trying to build it. 🚀

The Bible tells us that there are many gods.
Genesis 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us,
Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me
Psalms 82:1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
Psalm 82:6: I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
The god of the Bible wasn't always the god of everyone

@Eyelidzs @PetGorilla Why does there have to be a starting point?
If there is a starting point, why does it have to be animate?
English
@PetGorilla Either way, if we go by the logic of who created what, ultimately there would have to be a starting to point, a point of beginning of what created what regardless… and that’s God.
English
There is nothing in formal logic that allows for making the arbitrary decision that there must be a first cause.
There is nothing in the first cause argument that says anything about what the God is.
Aquinas knew this and spent a long time in the Summa explaining the properties of this god.
Christians believe this because of an improper translation of the Bible.
"Creation out of nothing is not biblical."

@PetGorilla The cake-baker analogy is just begging the question, just another smug Fedora. The original question concerns the feasibility of an uncaused, causal series of events. Christians argue this chain starts at some point, that itself must be uncaused. See:

It was watching the church Embrace politicians who contradicted everything I was taught about kindness and humility.
It was being told that caring about the environment was somehow not Christian.

But mostly it was realizing that the community I thought would support me through anything only wanted me if I agreed with everything. "
