A lot is spent on defense research. It just takes a while for those benefits to materialise for the common man. Maybe the cold war and the motivation for space exploration is just not the same anymore. The emphasis in research has also now shifted towards personal satisfaction from common good of ma...

Co-operation and communication between humans is at an all time high in recorded history. These have led to amazing technological developments these days. We are now having ethical debates about cloning and designer babies. Was this what God was preventing when He sent lingual confusion? Were those ...

Father A, not every Christian is 'blessed' with the desire to be celibate, stay single or abstain from sex, in or out of marriage. Would you say that such a person is in a higher state of righteousness when he/she abstains from sex and considers sperm wasting a sin? Please don't take offense when I ...

Its certainly hard for 'judgement prophets' to explain the thousands of orphans. That posting in the Apologia section of the forum certainly gives a good explanation for Christian suffering. As far as fatal disasters in the world is concerned, the concept of demonic freewill and activity was touched...

The second position seems much more natural to me, then. God created the entire race of Man--including the soul--in His creation of Adam. Not only does man have the ability to physically reproduce after his own kind, but he has the ability to spiritually reproduce after his own kind as well. This e...

In addition, here's another thought. There is no difference in the inheritence of spiritual blessings currently and upon the return of Christ to reign from Jerusalem, there will be no difference in Earthly blessings. In the fulness of time, the physical gentiles and the Jews will be amalgamated into...

Church = Spiritual Israel?
I've been reading up on both sides of the argument recently. I'm now inclined to think that both could have truth in them on different levels. I've also gathered from the discussions that many are amillelianists here, so, I would expect strong arguments for spiritual Israel. I feel that a lot of end...

English is now a common language. There are differences in the way we use this medium to communicate what we mean to communicate. I've had difficulty understanding what some English speaking people meant when they said what they said. That's why we can look at the same passage of scripture and inter...

Just two: 1) It has been postulated that before God set in motion the water cycle as we know it now, a mist rose up from the surface of the earth to water the plants. Genesis 2:6 Some YEC scientists have also claimed to prove that there was a layer of water under the crust. (Sorry, I can't seem to f...

How about you just let it be? Swearing is only as bad as you feel it is. The occasional cuss word when you bang your head into a wall isn't going to kill you. It's also a useful way to vent anger, instead of pounding somebody in the face. Is it good to vent unrighteous anger? Proverbs 19:11 Knight,...
