  1. Right The Word The Word nothing But The Word. . . . . which word?
  2. Cigarettes have warning labels. But the population of underdeveloped and overly attached will continue to need them. Death is not a person's biggest fear. What does The Word take the place of? What is Christ?
  3. When I personally ask TWI joiners why did they join, they say they just started going and never stopped. The world is full of people passively engaged in life. Join a cult? They aren't doing anything productive anyway. There's noting in those empty minds to counter a leader, even an evil leader. Look out into the world TODAY . . . what is happening out there?
  4. The Orthodox continued to add books, the Catholics had no issue with that. Adding books is something one would expect. Since people exist before books. The Protestants removed books, which the Catholics had issue is. The point being the Church existed before the book. Think about how much attention Mike gets here. Where will that attention be in 30 years? In a book? In a thread? Who does GSC take the place of?
  5. DragonBall GT is not canon. There's some concepts I think are superior to and I wish were incorporated into DragonBall Super. A cloud was also involved in transport early in DBZ. That was before instant transmission, which is much less showy.
  6. It was tradition that guided the formation of the Bible in the first place. Did a text follow what the Churches were already practicing? There were many many texts. Some that were probably just fine weren't included.
  7. Apparently the Orthodox Bible had books added to it. The Protestants removed books from the Bible. The Catholics didn't have a list hand by God to decide which books to include. So one criteria they provided was the text must be widespread. Anyway, the Bible didn't always exist. Wierwille’s Truth versus Tradition argument makes no sense.
  8. Witnesses come in clouds, too. Unless they were nebulized and sprayed into the air.
  9. By his stripes we are healed. Next time you are sick, simply choose not to be.
  10. I posted about Dr Lindsay somewhere else, who has documented fake intellectualism in our universities and how easy it is to mirror. These professors are the students of a generation ago. Studying the history of the dating scene, multiple generations used to be involved in the vetting process. Now we put all decision-making onto very young individuals, generally and culturally speaking. The more atomized we become, the more prone to mob mentality we become.
  11. The question he asks accepts the introductory reasoning of VPW, the worship of the Bible. Which he takes from protestants. There's a long history there, with guys like Martin Luther breaking with the "authors" of the Bible, the Catholic Church. AFAIK, tradition and scripture go hand in hand. As do Faith and Science. Otherwise, we dance around the question of where's Waldo?
  12. A Fog is like a low elevation cloud. When VPW croaked he left a power vacuum. So then everyone was in a Fog.
  13. I wonder about music produced in a world without free speech. Then I found this inspiring masterpiece. (Time stamp 00:59)
  14. Water often symbolizes overwhelming emotion. Like how Noah's flood overwhelmed the earth. Chaos. They looked up when Jesus ascended, with their "heads in the clouds" The angel told them to snap out of it, and get to work.
  15. Where's Raf? Jesus ascended into Heaven. Heaven is water. It doesn't say Jesus took his place among the stars. Cosmology might be a dead end?
  16. Water vapor is invisible. The water is not absent. It's in a different form.
  17. "The heavens" means water. Clouds are water. Water is kinda a big deal in agriculture.
  18. "A Cloud" was mentioned filling a house. Cloud must be symbolic of something
  19. Omg again with the power, The switcheroo was plain as day. Like reiterating "this power" just makes people give up out of annoyance
  20. Kids made "clouds" today using a bicycle pump and a soda bottle. And water. . . . If Jesus just disappeared the void left might have allowed water vapor to expand quickly . . . Creating the cloud. . . . Can't assume he just kept traveling into space
  21. Interesting "the Comforter" and the pronoun "he" are completely brushed aside and reframed as "this power"
  22. Are you sure? I read "tremendous" in some form at least twice already?
  23. Sure. But what we all have in common, east and west, today and 4000 years ago, is the human brain. Flood stories, for example come up across the globe. Is this because their was a global flood? Retellings of the same story? . . . . Or that we all have similar minds that symbolize our psyche in similar ways. . . . When something is true . . it should true for everyone, everywhere
  24. This might be the wrong video but I think it is the right author.
