    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    Were disciples called "brother" as well, or only the Apostles? To me it's like this: Peter being one of the 12 Apostles was like a member of The Beatles; like George Harrison. Later, George Harrison was in The Traveling Wilburys with among others, Jeff Lynne. George Harrison very well may...

    I consider Paul to be a self-appointed apostle.

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    A true Christian signs up for this, no? Matthew 5:11-12: "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were...

    Are you asking if I'm anti-Christian or if there's anti-Christian bias on this forum in general?

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    One thing that's always confused me about what I've seen in the world versus what I was taught in the version of Christianity that I grew up with: Jesus said that his followers would be hated because of his name so any exercise to try to nullify that (a Christian Justice Warrior for Jesus kind...

    Resenting where my life is at.

    I'm sorry to hear about your troubles, @Metalhead Keep in mind the "deck is stacked" against the average person's favor more than it has been probably in my lifetime.

    I wish I could retire in luxury.

    I'd settle simply for retirement.

    So sin is what happens when a person tries to do the right thing, tries to be virtuous but falls short?

    Hi, I'm Judi. I recently found out I am autistic and would like to ask if anyone has experienced rare reactions to foreign objects in the body?

    Anesthesia is an incredible thing. It's such a deep sleep it's like not existing for a period of time. Also, it's natural to worry about a worst-case scenario, but that likely wouldn't be the case. It's common for them to remove benign or questionable polyps. Even with the worry, better to...

    Hi, I'm Judi. I recently found out I am autistic and would like to ask if anyone has experienced rare reactions to foreign objects in the body?

    ^ It was one of my worst fears too. I had my first one last year. I'm not just making this up and I'm not exaggerating: It was actually incredible how much of a "nothing" the procedure was. To the point that when I'm due for my next one I'll have no fear about it at all. You don't feel a...

    Will companion robots solve relationship problems in the future?

    A "tough row to hoe" as they say given the current climate seems to promote that the opposite sex is the enemy and the problem. That wrong approach is purposeful and by design, but that doesn't make it any less arduous for the future of our species.

    Will companion robots solve relationship problems in the future?

    I'm guessing a primary customer base for that will be the super-rich. Every estate will have a whole pack of those robo-dogs roaming their expanse. Not joking.

    We are animals. We're in the Kingdom, Animalia, the Class, Mammalia (mammals) and the Order, Primates. Humans are in the "super family" of Great Apes along with Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Orangutans and Bonobos.

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    Think of "the whole universe" and "the cosmos" as euphemisms for God and reread. I didn't mean Christians worship the "creations" rather than the "creator" and I doubt @Knower of nothing did either?
