Miracles by definition rarely happen.
They are God's way of telling you that your way of doing things needs to change.
You can't get life from the tree of knowledge.
That's one amazing reply considering what I had been working on off of FR. I only popped in to grab the name of today's Top Gun thread title.
As I mentioned on the post 40 to which you replied, it's "All in the timing."
The dark side never learns because it already knows everything already.
Both David & Solomon were great Kings and a terrible fathers. The sword never left David’s house after his affair with Bathsheba. His get of that tryst—Solomon in all his glory—the man who addressed so many excellent pieces of advice to his son in proverbs—in turn produced a twit in Rehoboam.
Perhaps both David and Solomon were motivated to write because they instinctively knew that their lives were off the mark. in the way that you and I know our lives are off the mark. (though we may have different markers.) In David and Solomon their mark may have been that instinctive sense of generations where great grand dad is followed by grand dad who is followed by dad who is followed by son who is followed grandson who is followed by great grandson. A man will know when he is in a proper continuation of his line. And when his actions are out line with that continuation.
nah, that’s probably too grandiose—or certainly too grandiose for the thinking of a young man—most of whom don’t think with their heads all that much anyway.
most conservatives today have experienced over the last many decades a sheering force on the foundations of the USA. Maybe that sheering force is what moved David and Solomon to write.
Musk could be the modern Noah. A guy — here at free republic someone wrote that the hebrew word for ark that noah used —and the hebrew word for basket that carried Moses as a baby on the nile—are the same word. Both baby and man were for a time completely in God’s hands...to do as He willed.
“The dark side never learns because it already knows everything already.”
The deep question is how do you open up the civilization to the ways of God.
So light comes in.
imho beyond you and I—(because all change has to start at home)—it has to start in the universities.
There needs to be a paradigm shift.
