Religion & Spirituality > Christian Holidays & Celebrations Christmas traditions: Christmas trees: 1 of 7
The Meaning of Christmas Since 2003 The meaning of Christmas when I was a child of course was all about the presents and playing with the cousins we only saw a few times a year. When I became an adult, Christmas was all about how to buy nice gifts at reasonable prices for everyone on my list. As a parent Christmas became som... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Is God only known for what He's done or for what He is?: 15 of 41
I have had a lot of people ask me about the personality of God. Most people imagine God as a harsh judge or as an entity too far out of reach. In some cases many people feel they are not good enough for God. This saddens me and sometimes brings tears to my eyes. God is so much different than all that. However, most people kn... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture The Unpardonable Sin: 10 of 27
Lots of people like to cite the Bible in ways that are not biblically correct. Who has the right to say if one does not believe the Christian Bible then that one is unforgiven, unsaved. There is one judge and it is not one of my fellow human beings. When Pharaoh would not let the Israelites leave Egypt, did God not say "For ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues How could a loving God send people to hell: 40 of 100
I would like to know where in the Bible does it say anything about God sending anyone to hell. The closest the Bible comes to saying anything remotely close to this is in Revelation when it says The Great Red Dragon will be thrown into the lake of fire. People send themselves to hell by choosing not to believe in God. Knowin... More..
Education > Educational Philosophy Low-performing schools: Does encouraging parents to play a more active role in their children's education take school boards and teachers off the hook?: 5 of 12
Parents should have a open line of communication with their child in order to know their child needs more attention in the way of education. A parents role in their child's education can only go so far. Making sure homework is being done and helping with homework when necessary. Making sure a child knows how to behave at sch... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Could a single global currency work?: 6 of 13
Would one world leader of all nations work? This is how ridiculous this question sounds. Instead of having national debt there would be world debt. Again and again the rich get richer and the poor become more poor and the middle class is squeezed into the corner of virtual non-existence. Money of many currencies or one curre... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Pregnancy Is it safe to take aspirin during pregnancy?: 1 of 1
The day my doctor told me I was pregnant with my first child, one of the first things he told me was be sure NOT to take any Aspirin while I was pregnant. Back then I had no idea why I shouldn't take aspirin while pregnant, and I did not ask. I simply said "OK" and let it go. I now have six children; the youngest just turned... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Bible study: Who were the Nephilim?: 2 of 3
Were the Nephilim the Sons of God? Or, were the Nephilim a race of giants? Or, were the Nephilim extra-terrestrial alien beings? The Bible mentions the Nephilim as giants and giants were the offspring of the fallen ones (Gn.6.4). The JPS Hebrew - English Tanak, among other translations, uses the word Nephilim instead of gian... More..
