@Mark-Kamibaya I like discussing deep questions. I tend to get frustrated when I don’t understand exactly what’s being said though, so thanks for bearing with me. 😉

With your first example, Eve, it doesn’t seem like that’s two true goods—on the one hand she can be happy with God, and on the another she can be like God…but with the latter,…[Read more]

@Jess For sure.

Oh great @Bluejay! God’s certainly good. 🙂

HEY TESSA!! Good to see you. 😀 I will pray—I know how special even little things can be. Long grass…aw, I’m so sorry. 😛 That’s one of the worst places to lose something little.
@Bluejay

@Daeus I LOVE well done foils!! Okay, I’ll watch it someday. In the near future, if I can help it. 😉

Thanks @WarrioroftheRealm! You too. Where do you live? Our Thanksgiving is tomorrow. 😉

@Mark-Kamibaya Ah, yes that makes more sense. So a choice between two evils in this way would be like this: you can either do what’s right even if it’s to your own harm (sacrificial something), or do what you want to even if it’s morally wrong. Is that right?

And at least watch BtM. Then draw your own conclusions. 🙂

@Daeus Ooh, I haven’t…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya Wow. Sounds powerful. 🙂
I’m not sure of all you mean by this though— When you want a character to make a true choice, you don’t choose between good and evil. You must choose between two goods or two evils. That is the law. And that makes for a harder choice. Happened at Eden and it happens today. The moral difficulty makes for a…[Read more]

Aw, poor boy! I’m praying.

@Jadamae

Aw, poor boy! I’m praying.

Whoops. @Mark-Kamibaya

Agh, I know. *grimace* This might sound bad, but that’s a problem sometimes with kings and preachers especially—they’re so intent on shepherding their flock or country that they neglect the shepherding of their children.
Does it ever shock you that we have almost the whole book of Proverbs from Solomon, especially with all the stuff about…[Read more]

Let me put it this way. Parents must try their hardest to be awesome parents. That’s what God wants. But the kids might turn out to be nasty people no matter what the parenting. If the parents actually parented well then they aren’t responsible. Kids, after all, have free will.

@Mark-Kamibaya Well, you’re right. 😛 I do think a child will be [Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya OK, so I guess that means you follow American news pretty closely. 😀

Yes, we can always trust God to do His perfect will. That’s one of my favorite things ever. 😉

And yay for the Cubs! Even though I don’t watch sports. 😛 I love it when the underdogs win.

Oh and @Mark-Kamibaya, are the Phillipines under the American government?

@Sarah-H Hm…intriguing…

@Mark-Kamibaya I might address several of your points, but I think Rolena’s right. I at least would rather not go into all of those on here, though if someone else takes you up I’ll be watching the conversation. 😉
For this one though I heard that Priebus is a Christian. Anyone have a take on that? —I also heard that…[Read more]

But kids tend to do many things for very bad reasons. Like they want attention or they covet or they hate too much or love obsessively (don’t you love run on sentences?).

@Mark-Kamibaya Older people do that sometimes too, though. Messed up ones. 😛
