    I can't follow the writing process.

    Amen! I've passed out hundreds of those in English and Japanese both!

    I can't follow the writing process.

    Advice received from a professional writer to a young man I knew who wanted to write: Write everything you want to until you are 30. Then throw it all away and start writing for publication. (Actually, this was from my famous author grandfather to me. ;) He had over 100 books and pamphlets...

    Should Christians practice things like deep-breathing and body-scan meditation?

    Do you mean "CAT Scan" (also CT Scan) possibly? That would be a medical test, referring to "Computed Tomography (CT) Scan. It can take a long time, and you have to lie still for all that time, so when I have to have that I practice abdominal breathing, and meditate on the Word or something I...

    Is there a standard Systematic Theology for IBF churches then?

    In the first place, your title is wrong. Churches don't use systematic theologies usually. Perhaps you mean schools. In that case you would have to mean seminaries, since colleges don't usually have systematic theology courses, though I have heard of it. If a Bible college does have a course in...

    I Convinced Grok the Biblical Flood Really Happened (Using Science)

    I listened. Very interesting not only in the approach, but in how AI has developed.

    Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then?

    This threads about to be closed, and no one has yet answered my post #89 about a linguistic view of evolution. Another point I have not made yet is that evolution does not glorify God. It starts secular with a lost man, it continues secular, its advocates mock creationists, atheists cling to...

    So a YEC'er was not nice to you. So you then categorize all YEC'ers as cultists. Yeah, that's real Christian.

    Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then?

    I don't mean to be offensive, but that is the most ridiculous view of creationism I've ever heard of. No one believes the idea that God created fossils on the mountains just for YEC. I read The Genesis Flood by Whitcomb and Morris 55 years ago for a geology class in college, and the flood fully...

    Should Christians practice things like deep-breathing and body-scan meditation?

    As long as there is not a connection to Hinduism I see no problem. Yoga, for example, is a form of Hindu worship, so I would avoid that. There are plenty of exercise or meditation methods that have no connection to heathen religions, so yoga is actually unnecessary for a Christian. If you want...

    If someone wants to learn more about this linguistic approach to creation and DNA, I'm not the first to think of it. Here is a great article: Does DNA’s language point to a creator?

    The modern view of Fulfilling the Great Commission (Satire?, for anyone not familiar with Babylon Bee)

    The Babylon Bee strikes again! The sad thing is, there are Christians who think kind of like that.

    Here is one way DNA disproves evolution. Scientists agree in calling DNA a language. I'm a linguist (Japanese, Greek, translation studies, etc.), so I look at DNA as a language also. Your DNA communicates exactly what you are. Here is just one (non-anonymous) website about that: The Language of...

    Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then?

    The problem with Darwinian evolution is that Darwin had absolutely no idea of the complexity of any life form. He did not know genetics, RNA, DNA, etc. ad infinitum. The human eye includes a "ciliary body." Biochemist professor Michael Behe writes, "In summary, as biochemists have begun to...

    Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then?

    This is a typical evolutionist answer. Throw a few 100 million years at the problem and it will go away. Sorry, that is an inadequate answer, and that is why so many Christians are creationists nowadays. All evolution can answer with is "millions of years." But that is not science. Science...

    Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then?

    Can you tell me how the human eye evolved? See post #75 if this confuses you. By the way, I just read the article you linked to, and it does not prove evolution. The guppy stayed a guppy, the Anole lizards stayed anole lizards, and so on. For evolution to be true, the change has to be into a...
