When Paul wrote the first epistle to Corinth, he was fearful because God had laid on him the task of rebuking the Corinthians. He knew that this would cause them to feel hurt and he was not sure how they would react. There are several places in …

It was not intended as an insult. Paul told Timothy to "reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all long suffering and teaching." An attempt to correct someone can be an act of love if its purpose is to awaken that person to a need to make a change in …

The apostle Paul considered other people's conception of God. He even quoted two pagan poets who wrote about the idol called "Zeus." Paul was trying to save people's souls because he loved the lost. Those who don't "consider another’s conception of …

There is a big difference between Atheists and Agnostics. I have a sibling who is an agnostic. Agnostics are fully aware that we are only three dimensional and that there may (or may not) be multiple dimensions even within the physical realm and …

What is ironic about that poster is that the climate is probably going to change and there is probably nothing that all of humanity combined together could do to stop it.

Too bad it didn't say: One phone to rule them all and in the darkness light them. but I doubt that the Tolkien estate would permit that.

Someone from there may chime in, but my understanding is that the UK does not have a Fair Use exception.

It would be desirable if doctors did always decide that way, but babies are aborted in order to save the mother's life under these circumstances.

Suppose then that the doctor is certain that the mother will die sometime after birth but does not know if it will be one hour or four hours, like Rachel died after Benjamin's birth. I did not mean to imply that the Doctor thought that there was a …

Well, if the doctor "pulls the switch" the baby will die. The doctor isn't suggesting killing the mother.

If he truly believes in the power of God and if he is in fellowship with God then do what Elijah did: Pray. But don't deliberately cause the death of the innocent. By the way, another version of the trolley car scenario is when a Doctor says if …

With regards to yogurt, I used to have a yogurt making set. It is true that one used some commercial yogurt for the starter for the first batch but after the first batch, one could use one of the cups from the previous session as starter. As long …

A first responder does not kill one person in order to save another. Triage procedures may cause a first responder to neglect one person who might have been saved while attempting to save another but that is not killing the person who is …

I don't think that dairy product contain fiber but some contain live cultures, do you consider plant fiber to be superior to live cultures and if so, why?

I cannot see how your response applies to either of the two questions I asked. The first question could be answered yes or no but your answer does not seem to be applicable. The second questions asked you for a reason (or reasons) why if we seek …

Is the message muddled or have people deliberately tried to make it mean what they would prefer that it means? There are many people who for one reason or another want to be Bible believers but don't want the Bible to say what it says. The …

Communication, the ability to preserve communication and the transmission of communication are three things towards which humanity has devoted a great deal of its effort. Doesn't humanity's efforts to seek out and communicate with higher …

I don't believe that any translation is flawless. The original texts have to be consulted because the target language does not correlate precisely with the source language. One of the main difficulties between the Aramaic/Hebrew and the Koine …

One of the reasons that I do not like "descriptivist" dictionaries is that they escalate the degradation of communication. Although the concepts of morality and ethics can be traced back to ancient times, yet the modern concept of Ethics has been …

I am able to step out of my own theistic worldview and discuss the societal consequences of believing that every culture is equally valid. State Universities compel their students to lay aside their own theistic worldview to take courses. If we can …

Here is an article based on the original article but it is not as neutral as "The Times" article is. https://www.faithwire.com/2019/10/29/atheist-richard-dawkins-getting-rid-of-god-would-make-world-less-moral/

"Ending" is not my term. It is the term used in the headline of the news article. Did you read the article?

Did you read the article? If not, then your questions show that you don't know why it is a dilemma. If yes, then those things you listed do not cause me to kill someone. Getting a flu shot does not cause me to kill. Jumping out of the way of a …

This is an addendum to my original post. Barack Obama recently said some things similar to what I wrote although on a different subject. Another writer demonstrated his own inability to listen to other people's perspectives. There are people …

In answer to your question: One example, in the trolley dilemma described in the article, the students are invited to make subjective decisions as to who dies and who lives. Some of the students admit to using partiality to determine which choice …
