The serpent in the Garden can’t be secretly Satan
by Doug Mason in

2. beliefs
we know that the serpent in the garden can’t be secretly satan, because the first time satan is mentioned by name is in a story chronologically after this one, and in that, he is said to be walking.

remember that the serpent was cursed to crawl on his belly all the rest of his days, but in the book of job, satan is still walking around and chatting with god as if they’d never had a falling out.

this is when god had to ask satan where he’s been, because his infallible omniscience obviously didn’t know.. so if he had to ask that of satan, who is later described as the lord of lies, then why would god believe him?

Pick the low-hanging fruit

i happened to be standing nearby when an outside contractor, out of the goodness of his heart, approached a fellow worker and invited him to his church.

the fellow worker is a known problem-drinker and actually, probably could use some discipline in his life.. anyhow, after a gushing account about how vibrant his church is and what a great guy the preacher is, he said that the lord moved him to speak with the problem-drinker.

well, i'm feeling left out, neglected, dejected and finally chimed in.

If you saw a governing body member being pummeled would you help them?

before you answer; .

think about how they could care less how many families are broken up just to retain their power.

how they could care less if members are driven to suicide because of the deep programming and severe depression or strained family situations.. how they would rather let members die in order to retain their power and refuse to acknowledge their faulty bible reasoning regarding blood.. i could go on and on and on.

The problem with movies this last decade or so
by LoveUniHateExams in
1. social
2. entertainment
actually, i think i've discovered two issues.. the first is that there are too many soft reboots, remakes and re-imaginings.

don't get me wrong, hollywood has always done remakes and some remakes work very well.

the fly (1986) and the thing (1982) are actually remakes/re-imaginings of the original 50s films.
