It did not say pious actions. Matthew makes it plain that the key is actions with consequences. Matthew 19 16 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who...

Same here.

My knowledge of Hebrew is amateur at best but neither is it non-existent. But I am sure Rabbio will explain how I blew it. Psalm 82 (From Tehillim 81) 1 G-d has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: 2 “How long will you judge unjustly and show...

Because hydrogen peroxide decomposes, 0.5% AHP has a finite lifetime. Once it is opened, it is good for a few weeks to a month, if resealed. Something to keep in mind. Also, while 0.5% AHP is effective against a number of enveloped viruses, I notice that while EPA mentions that Lysol is...

But what Prospero are we bound to?

While I appreciate the compliment, my views on scriptural matters tend to be idiosyncratic and controversial. I think the best place for my mutterings is in an environment where they can be readily replied to and critiqued. That is, in the forums.

Do the monkeys stop typing twice a day?

I would not exactly call Hard Rock Cafe a little known brand. It has some 200 properties worldwide, mostly cafes but also hotels and casinos. Annual revenue is something north of $600 million USD. Not world shaking but not trivial either. How much of that is profit is not known since the...

May the Furs be with you. You know, you really have to keep the helium tanks locked up when you have cats.

You are referring to Liber Deorum. Several books were being discussed so I was thinking in those terms. What will the future Earth be like? And how does that follow from putting liberals on Mars? If the answer to the second question gets too political, just answer the first question.

I have read many books about what Earth will be like, with many variations of the theme. Did you have a particular one in mind? Does it relate to the topic of this thread. My quote from Elton John lyrics was a lead in to the difficulties of terraforming Mars as proposed by the OP, which does not...

I was simply quoting Elton John in response to the idea that Mars is 'cool'. Terraforming Mars and keeping it terraformed raises a lot of problems because of the lack of a strong magnetic field. But that would take us far away from the topic of this thread.

Actually I have, years back. Farmer was always good at presenting the unexpected. And let us not forget Stranger in a Strange Land. I have read both versions.

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact it's cold as hell. And there's no one there to raise them if you did.

I did. There are some very interesting things there, especially in the description of the 18 Gods/esses. Not my cup of absinthe. But interesting.

John is ambiguous about the status of Jesus, presenting him as both as equivalent to God and less than God. John 10:30 I and the Father are one. John 14:28 …for the Father is greater than I. We can see this ambiguity already in the introductory passage. The usual translation of John 1:1 runs...

Maybe they knead some dough. Or are just trying to get a rise out of you. I'll be leaven now. That's the yeast I can do.
