    Bible Scholars of Many Kinds

    Today marks the start of Christian Unity week, a profound challenge for all of us. The same God hears all our prayers, despite our differences. You will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God. Whilst I listen with interest to Biblical scholars, they seem to approach it...

    Does God really exist?

    Although we don't have convincing evidence either way, we still have critical thinking. Whilst four billion years sounds a long time, the starting point is some kind of single cell life. and from that we have the blue whale, with around a hundred thousand trillion cells. I can't imagine how...

    Does God really exist?

    Could we make an infant size robot, that would grow in size to an adult size robot. And with all the parts working at every stage of growth. When it becomes adult size, could it replicate itself and make another robot? A robot might have a few thousand parts, our bodies apparently have around...

    Does God really exist?

    Humanity has had some amazing inventions, we went into space; but we could not make a robotic version of ourselves. The skeletal system is only a bunch of levers connected together for movements, yet it seems more complex than space travel. What tools did blind nature have four billion years...

    Does God really exist?

    The bottom line seems to be, could evolution happen by natural causes, or does it need God? If God created life, there would probably be no natural causes, ?God just created life. I truthfully believe the variety and complexity of life we see today, needs God. The skeletal system is possibly...

    Essay on the Eucharist

    Jesus prayed that we should be one, in exactly the same way as he is one with the Father. Could the greatest commandments possibly describe how Christ is One with the Father? The Father loves the Son as he loves himself. The Son loves the Father as he loves himself. The Spirit seems a...

    Your religious/spiritual journey

    In the Catholic Church, we call it a journey in Faith, I don't think we ever fully understand. I know many Catholics don't read the Bible, but consider going to mass is sufficient. If we go every day during the three year cycle, we hear less than 10% 0f the Old Testament. I have read a number...

    Your religious/spiritual journey

    When we go out with the street Pastors in the early hours of the morning, we can come into contact with angry, drunken, violence. When we did our training, it was said, you will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God. When we intervene, the solution we seek is a kinder and...

    Your religious/spiritual journey

    When I started to search for God in my forties; I went to a Catholic faith group. I asked, how many gods are there? There was a deathly silence in the room. If there really is 'One God'; then the same God hears all our prayers; despite our differences. I still feel challenged by how we answer...

    Essay on the Eucharist

    Faith and trust in God is a profound subject. The readings from yesterday almost show; that it was the blind person's faith that healed him. Jesus only did as the blind men believed. As Jesus passed by, two blind men followed him, crying out, “Son of David, have pity on us!” When he entered...

    Essay on the Eucharist

    I am a Catholic, and I wonder how much real faith we have in the Eucharist. In the past, we also all drank the wine from the same cup, after covid, we stopped taking the cup. My understanding is that body and blood of our Lord, can overcome any virus.

    The oneness of God has been a profound challenge in my journey of faith. Whatever our beliefs might be, the same God hears all our prayers, despite our differences. You will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God. When we go out with the Street Pastors, we often come into...

    Anti - Semitic

    Too much injustice has happened on both sides. True Justice can only happen when a Palestinian child has the same value as an Israeli child. Anyone with a faith in God, should seek justice for all, love, mercy, forgiveness and peace. We will all have to stand before the same God. How will...

    Does God really exist?

    Can there be a greatest meaning for God, the creator of all that is seen and unseen? The religions of the world are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces make little sense when they are scattered. We are all part of a bigger picture. All the diverse pieces of the puzzle make more sense...

    Does God really exist?

    The creation of the universe and life is history, and you can't change history. Either God created everything, or there is no creator God. What ever anyone believes, we can't change the truth of history. There cannot be a probable God. We can be a hundred percent right or wrong on the toss of a...
