Philosophy
Discussions about PHILOSOPHY. Because everyone needs to wax poetic every once in a while. This category will contain everything that interests me about PHILOSOPHY.
Whose Justice Is It Anyway?
I know a lot of Old Testament Christians. You know what I am referring to when I say an Old Testament Christian, right? An Old Testament Christian is one who doesn’t know how to rightly balance The Law and Grace. The two concepts have never been rightly defined and rightly applied within their own lives. […]
God is in control …
There are mysteries that are paradoxes in life. And that is by design, we are not meant to understand all things. This is a difficult thing to accept for most people. We want to believe we can know it all, discover all things, understand the mysteries of the universe. But the fact is, we will never have […]
A Woman’s Right To Choose
A couple of weeks ago, in the U.S.A., on January 22, 2015, the passing of the Supreme Court Roe v. Wade anniversary was marked. This National case, decided on January 22, 1973, found that a woman possessed the right to choose an abortion as a legal means of terminating an unwanted pregnancy. A human pregnancy, […]
My Tastes In Food
Have you ever known a picky eater? And by picky I do mean finicky. I have. Some peoples culinary standards simply cannot be met. Other people are fastidious in their selections of food as well as its preparation. Many people in America will cite health reasons as the primary driver behind their particular eating […]
Where Is Your Moral Compass?
I have previously mentioned the book The Word of God: A Logical and Moral Dilemma written by an acquaintance of mine. The title of the book implies a puzzle exists in the book of the Bible (here, The Word of God is a direct reference to the Bible). That puzzle (dilemma) is manifest by the belief […]
Chasing After Rights
Our rights are important. As is what we perceive as our rights. Rights are where we derive so many of our other political and social concepts from. Rights, as defined, are those set of items or actions that are afforded due to just claim, legal guarantee, moral principle, or legal principle and authorities. And rights […]
Where do YOUR rights come from?
First, let me say thankyou for your patience and understanding while I undertook a move one quarter of the way around the world. While not completely settled yet, we are starting to get back some of the things we have been without (my computer is just about back to the state it was in when I […]
Where do you live?
One of the more interesting passages of Scripture to me is Ruth 1:15-17 which states (in the King James Version): 15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. 16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or […]
Whose Science Is It?
One of the more amusing aspects of the whole God debate to me is the exclusive territory of science. As if certain crowds have a lock on particular disciplines. When studying the world around us, there are many different facets that can be taken into account. And there are different theories and interpretations of the […]
Where Is My Faith?
Faith is a difficult thing. It shouldn’t be, but it is. Faith permeates our lives in every way imaginable and yet we struggle with it where it matters most. Simply put, Faith is a belief that is held that is not based on a proof. We utilize faith in our lives each and every day […]
