    ABRAHAMICS ONLY: The Tree called the knowledge of good and evil, (Genesis: a closer look) continued.

    Why would anyone think that the tree was either good or evil? It wasn't. It was the tree of KNOWLEDGE of good and evil. That is an entirely different thing. When God cast Adam and eve out of Eden, He said, "Behold the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil." To me, this...

    Happy Birthday Katzpur!!

    So many birthday wishes for someone who's not even posting any more. I'm genuinely touched. Thank you all.

    Ask Anything about Me or my Religion (Restored Gospel/Mormonism).

    @Jane.Doe, nice to see you posting. I've decided not to post on RF anymore. I've been posting here nearly 18 years now, and I've had all of the unmoderated nastiness I can tolerate. So hold down the fort, girl! You can do it better than anyone I've ever met here.

    I love dharmic religions

    I don't believer in retributive justice, because I don't believe in retribution at all. I don't believe God gets any payback from punishing us at all. He intends for all of us to return to His presence someday, but for some, the process will just be longer and harder than it will be for...

    I love dharmic religions

    I'm not sure why you think that if God is really both justice and love, then reincarnation has to be true. Could you explain? I believe that God is both justice and love, but I don't believe in reincarnation.

    Would you accept a Prophet?

    I agree that what you said is true -- about what they appear to be saying to God. For this reason, to me, believing in a prophet is entirely logical. And therefore, I do believe in one. I think it's absurd to think God would ever say, "Just read the book. I can't be bothered to comment or to...

    I am bored....challenge me

    Interesting thread, Clara. Just one thought for anyone who categorically dismisses anyone who claims to be a prophet in this period of time. We are warned in Matthew, Mark and Luke of following false prophets. Nowhere are we warned of prophets, per se. Perhaps that is because God has always...

    Do you ask questions about the spiritual teaching you believe in?

    I absolutely ask questions. Mostly, though, I don't ask men. I ask God. And when I realize that my heart and mind are completely at peace with the conclusion I've come to, I know that He's answered me.

    Legality of polygamy

    I'm assuming you're referring to "Mormon splinter groups when you say this." The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has prohibited polygamy for something like 125 years now, and any member of the Church found to be involved in the practice today is promptly excommunicated. There are...

    Judging others by our own faith or religious beliefs, is it wrong?

    Of course it's wrong. Whenever we take it upon ourselves to try to do God's job, it's wrong. The only people we ought to be judging are ourselves. That should keep all of us plenty busy.

    Whose Tracks Have You Seen In The Snow?

    @lewisnotmiller and @John53, Well I happen to live in a beautiful part of the world, too, so if you ever end up here on vacation, you'll have to give me a heads up and I'll meet you for lunch!

    Whose Tracks Have You Seen In The Snow?

    It's rough for sure, but I guess grandkids can be compelling. :)

    Whose Tracks Have You Seen In The Snow?

    That looks seriously amazing! I fell in love with Australia even though we only went to Hobart and Sydney. We're 78 and 74 now, though, and hoping to go back to Austria and Italy this coming summer. Don't know how realistic our chances of going back to Australis are, but if I could just be...

    Whose Tracks Have You Seen In The Snow?

    Seriously, I would love to go to Melbourne, especially if it's even better than Sydney. Yeah, and I know all about the rivalry. I don't know that I could handle that flight again. 13 hours in a plane is NOT my idea of fun.

    Whose Tracks Have You Seen In The Snow?

    Well, I've never actually been to Melbourne, but I'm sure that if I had, that's what I would have meant!
