    Are thought patterns the "Soul"

    I think the mind is related to the soul. In Terri's case the mind has no way to manifest itself. You need the physical thing, the cerebral cortex, to manifest the spiritual thing, the mind. However her soul is manifest in the life in her body.

    Are thought patterns the "Soul"

    What's keeping Terri Schiavo alive? It's not her brain. What more evidence of a soul do you need?

    Caution: Homosexuality Dangerous to Health

    No. Stress doesn't focus the mind. Stress causes physical and mental problems, even death. Of course there are different kinds of stress. Some have simple solutions. The "hero", for example, isn't thinking about what could happen to him in the dangerous situation. He's focused on the...

    Caution: Homosexuality Dangerous to Health

    By definition, being under stress leaves you unable to think. I was thinking of Ronald Reagan and Dick Cheney. I heard Reagan was never there for his kids. I don't know about Cheney but I suspect it's true of ambitious people. They don't have time for their kids. Our genes determine our...

    Caution: Homosexuality Dangerous to Health

    >When you tell others they are "slaves to their sinful passions" you have made a judgement that their passion is a sin. No. I'm stating a fact. >And you get this from a label "homosexual"? - you know nothing (totally ignorant) of the self-professed homosexual - you have not witnessed...

    Caution: Homosexuality Dangerous to Health

    >You choose to become an alcoholic or a drug addict by consciously using the drugs and abusing them. People don't sit down and go, "Hey! I feel like being persecuted, abandoned, abused, and generally treated like a second class citizen. I know! I'll be gay for the day! Now, let me force myself...

    Caution: Homosexuality Dangerous to Health

    >"But like I said sex isn't love. It shouldn't be confused with love. Sex is the desire of the flesh. Some people call it lust. You can love people and have no desire to sleep with them. You seem to be intent on linking the two. That idea entered the culture in the sixties, through the music...

    Caution: Homosexuality Dangerous to Health

    >None of these are orientations - a drive to a specific gender(s). These are all choices and heterosexuality, homosexuality or bi-sexuality is not. The seems to be a persistent confusion amongst some Christians. Nobody chooses to become an alcoholic or a drug addict and yet it happens. So...

    We don't have a false concept of God. We have the true image of God, Jesus Christ.

    Caution: Homosexuality Dangerous to Health

    pah >If love is wasted as a reward for others listening, it hardly deserves the effort to listen.. It's not really love - it's more like an ego trip, a star and his groupies. The greatest love is given unconditionally with the utmost capability. I'm sorry your God put's a price on it. What...

    Caution: Homosexuality Dangerous to Health

    One of the things we should never accept is the link between love and sex. Sex is the desire of the flesh. It has nothing to do with love. Love is the reponse to being listened to. Don't we love those who listen to us, especially when we ask for something. To receive Gods love, we have to listen...

    Caution: Homosexuality Dangerous to Health

    It's evident most people think it's wrong. It's unnatural. It's also normal to act according to your conscience. Why do some people want to further normalize this behaviour? ie. gay marriage. It must be to promote it as a human right. I guess these are the same people who want to...

    The Truth About God.

    You can control your nature to a certain extent by will power and by knowing and observing the Law. But that doesn't change the fact your nature is corrupt. The Law couldn't do anything to change that. As Gerani1248 has pointed out we can rationalize lying and killing. So God began a...

    The Truth About God.

    By my definition, evil is that which takes away what God has given. Generally it refers to the act of taking someone's life. It could also refer to something said or something done which robs you of your faith or your innocence or your senses ie. an evil spirit, or to the person or spirit who...

    The Truth About God.

    I was talking about the spiritual truth when I said Christ is the light we see things in. We see things in the light of his teaching. But Jesus Christ was the true light, God's divine light, the light of life. When you see him when he returns, it will be like lightening that lights up the sky...
