It's a bumpy theory, but the best one I've seen so far

No one here is hating on your meatloaf special everyone raves about. And I thought of two perfectly good examples where it could occur. Trust me, I would be eating those Oscar Meyer wieners no problem

When you think you got 983 years in your pocket, only to find out it could be tomorrow

Eeish, that just got me puckered up. Better start fast tracking this back to church thing

Do you mind sharing what you think your kids found most enjoyable about going to church on Sundays? Was it the lessons, teachers, friends, something you did to help them see the value in it?

Did you know Reindeer and Santa are mentioned in the scriptures? Zechariah 1:8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white. Zechariah 2:6 6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.

Oh gotcha. So that's why we're already put on alert. Thanks

@person0 So you're freely admitting there is no answer right now that we can reasonable accept as to how it makes sense we have 300,000 year old human remains on this Earth? I was hoping your brain and spiritual understanding would solve this riddle for me!

As you described, the Neanderthals were sophisticated beings. How could they have the good conscience to bury their dead if they didn’t know right from wrong already? Seems like they were very similar to human beings today

So are you suggesting that when Adam and Eve did eat the fruit, any Neanderthals in existence suddenly had the light switch turned on as to knowing good and evil, and being able to participate in God’s plan as accountable human beings?

Do you mind telling me why my assumption isn't correct? I thought it was after the seven seals are opened that the Second Coming will arrive

Ha! As long as it's spoken sincerely and thoughtfully. PS who here wants to see @Carborendum post a YouTube video of him reenacting John Branyan's 3 Little Pigs monologue? +1 for me

I just keep a summary of everything that's meaningful and interesting to me in a Word document so I can easily refer to it later if I want to

During a Sunday School lesson a while back I heard a teacher say that the number one thing people who are in their senior years regret is not having enough children. It sounded reasonable to me so I believed it for a while. Now that we have Google I was able to look the answer up for myself the other day. Not having enough children is definitely NOT the number one thing people who are in their senior years regret

I remember reading something to that effect out of one of the church's teaching manuals. The manual said the so called "little children" weren't as young as someone might suppose

Did you know there's a story in the Bible of a bald-headed prophet (Elisha) being mocked by children, and the children in turn are then torn apart by two bears? 2 Kings 2:23-24 23 And he went up from thence unto Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

Haha. This is phrased like spotting an LDS neo-Nazi in real life is like spotting an exotic animal in the wild. Steve Irwin's voice came to mind when I first read your comment above

If I wanted to ask that, I would've posted about it

My examples I provided previously were meant to be more in line with your first example here. I agree that "as far as sinning, I believe it should be whatever you AND the audience is comfortable with discussing." I don't think I personally would have enough guts nor want to admit to an entire congregation from behind the pulpit I've watched porn, even if I found some way to slide that bit of information into my talk in the right spirit. I just wonder what would happen if we were more open with each other about personal struggles we are going through. Could we find some good it that? To me it seems whoever takes the microphone in Church has to appear to have a 100 percent testimony, when in reality, we all know that's not the case. I personally would appreciate it if more speakers were down to earth with admitting they might not be perfect, but that they have hope in Christ of becoming better.

And basically just trying to get an idea on how parents handle very active babies

Thanks @estradling75. I think I do follow the rules. I just wanted to cover my bases with@Grunt since I know he's an investigator and it seems like he takes issue with most things I say

Could you just message me an example of a prayer being answered in your life? Or anyone else who doesn't want to openly post an example

Maybe 46 down, 47 up? I'm questioning my counting skills now. I could have sworn I did the count before and it was 46 both ways. Regardless, what is Shakespear doing in Psalms anyway? What is the meaning of this?
