    Like a vapor

    Like a vapor By Bobby Neal Winters Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. James 4:14 When we die, we are put into a box that is put into the ground, and, though we try to...

    Head, chest, belly, etc.

    Sorrow serves a purpose I am sure, but I'd prefer to control my appetites through discipline.

    Impossible Trisection

    The fantasy of infinite precision might seem silly to you, but it is the strength of mathematics. Mathematicians don't need to be sloppy; engineers and physicists are doing that already. The precision of mathematics forces it to follow discipline. If that's not your cup of tea, that's fine...

    Would it be wrong?

    That person would be losing his moral standing while referring to Christians as hypocrites, but he'd certainly understand hypocrasy from a first person point of view.

    Head, chest, belly, etc.

    Head, chest, belly, etc. By Bobby Neal Winters I’ve seen it written that the head controls the belly through the chest; this means our mind controls our appetites through the virtues. This was said either by Plato or C.S. Lewis. Or maybe Oprah, I forget. It sounds like a good idea to...

    Impossible Trisection

    Cola, Your error is in step four. No mathematician would disagree that one can get to within any preassigned level of accuracy. It's been known for years, maybe even thousands of years. When we say it is impossible, we mean to do it exactly and with a finite number of operations. You...

    Is Christianity too fixated with Salavation?

    The afterlife is just about the only thing that is certain. I can guarentee you there is a point after which you will not be alive! Will there be anything left of you after the smell of your last fart has dissapated? Well, you will live on in the lives of those whom you have loved. This is...

    Hey, Jude

    By Bobby Neal Winters My father wouldn’t listen to the Beatles--or let my brother and me listen to them--because John Lennon said they were “Bigger than Jesus.” Dad thought it was egotistical and blasphemous, but Lennon did have some sort of a point. My family and I were in the home...

    Threads By Bobby Neal Winters I’d skipped Maundy Thursday services at church during Holy Week and had stayed home to look over an article about Joab that I was working on when I reread the 18th chapter of the book of Second Samuel. Therein Joab and his men kill Absalom, David’s son, who has...

    The Divide, Part II: Interpretation of scripture and limits of science

    The interpretation of scripture Part of the reason for the division is in the interpretation of scripture. I would like to be a little speculative in interpreting a small bit of scripture by way of explanation. Consider this fragment from the second chapter of Genesis. “And the LORD God formed...
