Just a little note now that Nelson Mandela's will is read
by TheOldHippie innelson mandela shared with his first wife, evelyn, a passionate commitment to a cause.
evelyn, who has died aged 82, was a jehovah's witness with no interest in politics.. as mandela wrote in his autobiography, long walk to freedom: "when i would tell her that i was serving the nation, she would reply that serving god was above serving the nation.
a man and woman who hold such different views of their respective roles in life cannot remain close.

there's a photo of shasta lake near where i live -- it's very sad now to see how low the lake is.

Millions die in Natural disasters - God is doing nothing. Do I adopt Anthropomorphism to him?
by KateWild ini do not think god is a'morphic.
god is not human, so hence he does not possess human characteristics, to know god better and to understand him better i study science.
there has been a new discovery of strange signals picked up from black holes and distant supernovae suggest there's more to space-time than einstein believed.

The American Constitution versus the 'Kingdom of God'.
by yadda yadda 2 ini thought this comparison between the american constitution and the 'kingdom of god' was very interesting from an article in this ex-mormon's excellent website http://packham.n4m.org/us-xian.htm.
the article notes how america's founding father's were deists, not bible-believing christians.. but our nation is also a system of government, not just a society.
the constitution is about government, not about society.

1 Peter 1:11 - Christ's Spirit or Jehovah's Spirit

11?they kept on investigating what particular season or what sort of [season] the spirit (the reference says: 2 sam 23:2 ) in them was indicating concerning christ (footnote says the spirit of christ which was in them indicated)... .
beside the word spirit, the reference quotes 2 sam 23:2, which says "the spirit of jehovah".
