The Philosophy Discussion Forum

Hi Walker, I think that we both agree on the point that the Bible is inspired. My real question is, 'what do you think of the premise describing 'how' and 'why' the Bibles' miraculous ability to communicate is structured.

I’m writing this reply to my own article because I am curious. This article has been read over a hundred times. Since it’s posted on a category of philosophy that concerns religion, I feel that those to whom the Bible is sacred had to form some opinion about the premise being made. The article is th...

                                  FROM MUNDANE WORDS TO SPIRITUAL TEACHING IN GOD'S HOLY BIBLE                           “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally...” James 1:5 The Bible is not a supernatural instrument in the sense that it must be continually...

If I may, I'd like to pose a few questions for your consideration regarding the experience of having no human contact. I realize that in these modern times it is difficult to go even one day without some form of contact, especially with all of our electronic devices. In fact, it was for that very re...

Hi Greatest I Am, I think I have to agree with you. My view is, if we are to be judged, the fairest judgment we could receive, would be to judge ourselves. Having accepted this, allowed me to ‘see’ justifications that could never have existed if they were based on either mine or others opinions. The...

WORDS, THOUGHTS, AND THINGS The human race has progressed thought by thought. If a mind can hold a wisp of thought for only a moment, the same mind will have woven a web of understanding around it. Before the consciousness is aware it has answered its queries and has a whole new set of facts' to use...

WORDS - CODE TO UNDERSTANDING OTHERS All of the imagery we have observed in life, including imagery formed in imagination and dreams, is stored in the brain as electronic data. Not pictures or forms, but encoded information. Over time humans, developed sounds and words to operates as an interface in...

BOOK OF LIFE I have discovered a blessing in my old age, one that is difficult to describe, yet deeply life-giving. I speak now as if to someone thirty years old, only to show the difference in perspective that eighty-nine years of living can produce. Memory, I have found, moves in two ways: short-t...

Throughout this regimes reign, I have often asked myself, how does a society put up with such despots? When you look at history, you can see the same story over and over. How? Why? Until you experience it, as we are, it doesn’t seem possible. What really amazes me, is the fact that good intelligent ...

I'm sorry Gary. You asked about the war in Iran. I think most presidents would like to have been a wartime president, because it insures a sure legacy. But, another stupid war for the wrong purpose, will also leave a legacy, but not so good.

Hi Gary, I have never posted publicly, the way I feel about politics. I can only hope you are not MAGA. If you are, all I can say is, he makes me believe in the 'end times'. Since you did ask, I will answer. I don't usually like to say negative things about anyone. I have met a lot of people in my l...

If I had to guess why original sin exists, I would see it as a concession by God within the larger conflict between Himself and Lucifer. Scripture presents Lucifer as free to use his influence to persuade humanity to reject God's ways and embrace his own. If this conflict is being played out within ...

Hi Walker, I have often thought how Jesus said, a man could move mountains by speaking the right words. I think, we just haven't learned to speak the right words yet.

Hi Lacewing, I do appreciate you taking the time to read the rather long post. I have little to comment on your response, other than, I don’t see so much of disagreement with my ideas, as much as I see a view from a different perspective than mine. I’ve given up writing things that I have to defend ...

WHEN OLD HALLOWED WORDS COMBINE WITH INSPIRATION It is exciting to discover the incredible versatility of words when combined with God's interaction through His holy words. The myriad ways they blend into coherent meanings, meanings never before put into words, clarify both promises and prophecies a...
