This seems to me to be important news, for the little my opinion in this matter is worth. I find the language of the report quite difficult especially the jargon. Would it be possible for you to paraphrase it as if for primary school children? The key question here is the types of investors involve...

Jesus is historical: Christ is mythical. God says otherwise. Jesus is both Lord and Christ, historically. As Peter says, "Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ — this Jesus whom you crucified.” (Acts 2) Peter Preaches to the Crowd 14B...

Investor group sets tough climate blueprint for Big Oil By Ron Bousso and Simon Jessop 14 hrs ago LONDON (Reuters) - Investors managing more than $10 trillion on Wednesday published an ambitious blueprint for energy companies seeking to tackle climate change, including sharp cuts to greenhouse gas ...

The physical world of which instinctive behaviours are an important and necessary part, needs reinstating. In this day and age many people are alienated from nature. Even sex is wrapped up in a false costume of pornography. I am a fan of subjective aspects of the world! Poverty is not invariably a ...

Jesus is historical: Christ is mythical. God says otherwise. Jesus is both Lord and Christ, historically. As Peter says, "Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ — this Jesus whom you crucified.” (Acts 2) How do you know Peter knew the ...

"God says otherwise", you are claiming to be in a position of knowing such a thing that you cannot know... Why not? If there's a Supreme Being, why would you doubt He is capable of communicating, a thing ordinary people do every day? :shock: Because He has not used explicit English, or an...

The main purpose of my post was to point out the hypocrisy of Westerners who are the main instigators and pot-stirrers of trouble in the Middle East, being appalled by such things as the stark and barbaric brutality of Muslims retaliating by beheading their perceived enemies... ...while, at the sam...

There are two kinds of philosophy: one seeks clarity, the other intends obscurity! A learned meaning worth having involves work. D.H.Lawrence is not easy but is worth the work. My post was not intended as a comment on your quote. "There are two kinds of philosophy: one seeks clarity, the other...

"Sometimes it's hard to be humble ..."

Humility is wet.

Oh don't be wet dishrag.

(It's a song parody of vanity. Check out the music forum.)

Plus, it's a tight, edited six words.

Lacewing, I like your opinion of the online environment . I have two motives for engaging with it. One motive is it gives me a useful opportunity to rehearse my beliefs and perhaps crystallise them, perhaps change them . As you said "to check ourselves" if I understand you. My other motive...

You're not getting it. "Christ" is not an office. It's not a title. It's an identity. It is who He is, not a function of what was or was not done to Him. Immanuel, will you ever be able to understand the nature of history? Reason is not inimical to Christianity. Quite the contrary! Nothin...

That's Biblical. And it's empirical too, of course. And I believe even you know it's true, as well. For I'll bet you eat plants, and you surely swat mosquitoes and bluebottle flies, too. Kind of "anthropocentric," don't you think? Heck, if you expect me to "feel bad" about the n...

Immanuel Can wrote: Well yes, but I was referring to how your version of God has man near the top of a hierarchy of which God is the top, and animals and plants lower than man. That's Biblical. And it's empirical too, of course. And I believe even you know it's true, as well. For I'll bet you eat pl...

No, I can't "admit" them. I am not the doorkeeper. I have no say. Only Christ has a say. And He tells us very clearly that they are not His. So that's that. But if Christ is God , and each person is the hands and voice of God (Teresa Of Avila) then each God-fearing person should try to im...

Jesus was never anointed to Christ. You're not getting it. "Christ" is not an office. It's not a title. It's an identity. It is who He is, not a function of what was or was not done to Him. Immanuel, will you ever be able to understand the nature of history? Reason is not inimical to Chri...
