    Pasta survey

    I have since gotten better at eyeballing it and then taste testing a piece or two. I still don't have a foolproof method but I did (in the last month) just go ahead and buy some fettuccine noodles precooked...warmed it...and then added my cooked shrimp to the mix with some parmesan. It went...

    I quit playing video games

    Hmm...I've got a rather long post I typed on this topic because I've definitely played games for the last 25 years off and on (started in 1996 or 1997) and it really isn't so terribly easy for some people to give up what amounts to free dopamine (like smoking tobacco) but it really isn't "free"...

    A Christian alternative to the Boy/Girl Scouts

    Umm...there's something called Royal Rangers I think. I heard about it on CC (probably) a year or so ago and I liked the name and the concept. A quick search implies that it's an AG thing but AG is pretty mellow and most denominations should fit in just fine there. I guess I'd have to get...

    And the SMOKE of their torment...No eternal damnation for anyone, except the Devil

    oof, my break wasn't long enough... You at least can admit that your title was a bit click-baitey since you know that the Beast and the false prophet are cast ALIVE into the lake of fire (which as far as I know is unique). Are you saying this will not occur?

    What did Jesus mean by "you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers?"

    Excellent question. It seems to be the bare minimum that is required of believers so it makes sense that it would be plain as day. It isn't though and I've wondered about it during the times I have more doubts than usual. Seems like a pretty smart box to check off "at least" and then go from...

    Theology—beneficial or source of endless debating?

    Very interesting question. I'll check back in tomorrow on it. Thanks for bringing it up :) It's intriguing to me when I reach a crossroads and am dissatisfied/disconcerted with something and then someone brings up a thread on the topic. The "dusty tome" version of Theology hasn't ever been...

    Resource pool for a christian commune on 100 or so acres??

    I've also had this dream for a long time. "building" loosely I've had since I was a child and those childhood dreams have a lot of practicality today. I typed a very long post about this that took me probably an hour but Idk if I really should dump a bunch of information on what would be...

    Resource pool for a christian commune on 100 or so acres??

    I disagree that this will unilaterally occur. I think it is definitely a strong possibility without checks and balances, accountability, Christ as the head and consistently taking inventory but churches can have this same problem. It would certainly take much forethought on how to tackle such a...

    Resource pool for a christian commune on 100 or so acres??

    Why can't you use the radio/internet/phone? There are a lot of things you can do from a distance. What about people that donate money to people they haven't met in person? Or even the people that run a hotline? It's not like it would be closed to outsiders. A lot of churches are basically...

    Should Christians be involved in Law Enforcement ?

    Yes this is one of the examples of a KJv issue. I've encountered at least one person that this was one of their problems with the bible (contradiction). There are different categories where the line is finer...like after you know that an ox has been known to gore (which can be translated to...

    How do you share your life with others?

    Yeah I haven't yet shared a personal picture of me except the one recent(ish) thread but I was 3 lol. I'm just weird about pictures. I don't particularly want to psychoanalyze how I feel about them at present...I'm sure I will though now just not in a post :p Sometimes it feels selfish not to...

    What’s Behind America’s Shocking Baby-Formula Shortage?

    Yeah I saw one article alluding to that but I don't want to apprise myself of more than I "need" to know. I'm sure I'll find out enough whenever/if ever I have children. I presume it's much more expensive than other methods of homemade formula though? I just mention it because it came to mind...

    How do you share your life with others?

    Oh lol I didn't really think about that element...*sigh* I guess I just figure that strangers will look at anything you think is "private" on the internet anyway. Who is the blog master? Who built the site? What admins have access to your content if they so desired? Here when you are using a...

    What’s Behind America’s Shocking Baby-Formula Shortage?

    Well, it's kind of weird but some mothers produce more milk than others and there's a surplus... I imagine that just based on biology that wet nurses still exist in some fashion. A quick search seems to suggest it stores well in a freezer so it wouldn't need to be "super" awkward or...

    How do you share your life with others?

    Why not just try out the blog section here on CC? The ONLY issue that I find is that you can't edit posts past the 5 minute window and that you need to put more forethought into it but guests can see posts just fine. It's not as polished or anything, but to just test the waters and try it out...

    What do we do with postbiblical revelation?

    I don't think that's what he means when he says "canon". Canon is the written word. We are NOT to go beyond what is written...so it makes sense that more would not be written and that every revelation will fit within the confines of the written word. I rather like how Dino246 put it on the...

    Bible Care

    I feel weird about having an expensive leather bible. Smells nice though I imagine. I've had just one wear out through use and the binding fall apart. It took about 8 or 9 years I think.

    About 15 minutes past when I should have said that...but a nice last read. Thanks :) @Mark11
