I believe that. Acts 2:6 comes to mind: Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. Since marrying into the Hindu culture, I am utterly amazed at how many of the same lessons found in Christian...

I wouldn't be too sure about that. Diwali 2013. Our cat walks into our Mandir all by himself, kneels at the alter and puts his front paws together. He stayed like that for a moment or two, long enough for me to snap the pic, then got down and left again. He's done similar things since. All on...

For some reason that reminds me of the story of Jesus walking on water. There's Jesus trucking his way across the sea to meet up with the disciples in their ship. They see him, Jesus even says, It is I, but Peter still asks for proof. "O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" I mean...

Getting back to the OP... sort of. Needing something and wanting something is very different. Everyone keeps telling me I need a new car. Hell, even I know I need a new car. The 58 year old beast I currently drive is on borrowed time. Thing is, I don't want one and the more folks try to push me...

I have tremendous respect for the Veda, but again, this is the Abrahamic board. Abrahamic scripture says meat may be consumed. There are many different faiths and beliefs represented on IO. We do our best to respect that and not preach to one another. Please take a moment to review our code of...

Well, this is the Abrahamic board and Abrahamic scripture says otherwise. Genesis 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. Leviticus 11:1-47 elaborates further, spelling out which animals were created to be consumed...

Anybody ever driven one of these? :D It's a Smart Car, powered by a rear mounted 3 cylinder, Mitsubishi engine. Although they were sold and serviced through Mercedes Benz. Anyway, one of my neighbors just bought one secondhand for his kid. I went over to rag him about it and he throws me the...

Well, as a Christian and this being the Christian board, can't say I share your opinion here. Our scripture and even some non-Christian doctrine tells us otherwise.

Same old tired argument. Believers see God in all there is and require no further proof. Atheists see no proof as adequate. And so it goes. We'll all find out for sure one day. ;)

True dat.. at least they get called out for it more. ;)

Well, I myself am put off by the way some church structures and individuals conduct themselves and the way religion is sometimes taught, but I've never let that sway my faith and belief in God. As for atheists on I.O, seems counter-intuitive to me, but as long as they are not deliberately...

"Snajay Calls a Fiji Immigration Officer a Dumbass!" Okay, so we arrive in Los Angeles. LAX is a mad house on a good day, so Snajay was pretty much too overwhelmed and sleepy to be much trouble. Snajay: Fiji sure is crowded. Me: We're not in Fiji yet I'm afraid. We've got another plane to...

"Have you experienced a state of nonduality/infinity/oneness?" Yep, pretty much constantly. Not that I could quantify the experience or put it into tangible terms. Aussie Thoughts often reflected on how interconnected the Aboriginal peoples he worked with were to each other, the world around...

Your statement here rather proves the opposite. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, but man has had the freedom to choose whether or not to take part from the beginning. The fact that Adam and Eve were, to spite prior warning, still able to be influenced by Satan, proves we've always had...

"Uncle, You're Not Going To Believe This, But There's A Toilet In The Closet!" Okay, so we finally board the plane to begin the first leg of our journey. Snajay was quite impressed with the accommodations. Snajay: Wow, this is the biggest and fanciest bus I've ever been on! It was about that...

"Bus Trip To Fiji" Snajay had just turned four and the wife and I decided to take him and his mom with us on a trip to Fiji. It had been a while since we had seen family and friends there and they were also anxious to see Snajay, whom they had never met. Now up to this point, the longest trip...

That's about where I am these days. When my cardio drama began several years ago, I had to give up a lot of things I once enjoyed. Among them, working on the family car, in favor of less strenuous activities. Well, when the price of an oil change at the dealer rounded the $80 corner, I said...

Oil changes are getting pretty expensive these days, with few extras thrown in, so decided to change my own oil this time. Found what I needed online, listed as in stock locally with free next day delivery. Great I thought, that'll save me a trip! Checked order status today to see what time...

Unbelief? Sorry, not my area of expertise...
