$2.99 For The Meaning Of Life (Short Review Of Satirical Film)

1983/2003

























Admittedly, this CD that I bought at the same time, will get more use.

























I continue with my conservative and frugal 'big spending' ways in regard to late night, early morning entrainment while exercising, and I have a short satirical review of this satirical film and DVD as a result...

When I state there are 'contradictions'/supposed contradictions in light of supposed reasons for many to hold to agnosticism in Western society, I am acknowledging, Biblical difficulties. I hold to Biblical inerrancy in the original documents/autographs, not the thousands of copies which adequately and reasonably present God's word without theological changes to primary doctrines and dogma. Biblical difficulties can arise from the various Greek manuscripts (Hebrew Bible manuscripts late add), copying errors from scribes and different translations. I do not reason there is error is the transmission from God, the Holy Spirit to Biblical authors.

Rebuilding Friendships

From Google+ & Earth The Incredible Planet

















August 13, 2015

There are some good ideas provided in the sermon above.

I have held to the view that in a conflict I should repent and ask forgiveness, even if I do not reason I am primarily at fault.

There are Biblical calls to forgive and also to be at peace with all persons as much as it is up to you (Romans 12).

There is also the Biblical understanding that in this realm all persons have a sinful nature (Romans). There is a taint of sin in all human actions, therefore arguably there is rarely complete innocence by one party in a conflict.

A violent assault upon a person, in some cases, would be the closest I would view as complete innocence by a victim.

From the sermon these were some points provided that caused damaged or ended friendships

Selfishness
Manipulation/Control
Jealousy
Criticism
Explosions of anger
Disloyalty
Dishonesty
Being too Busy

Solutions provided from the sermon

Deal with the problems and the person
Determine what happened
Apologize (Repent, my add)
Show love
Refuse to defend self
Attempt to repair friendship
Commit to rebuild friendship

Questions provided from sermon

Was defensiveness a cause of a damaged or ended friendship?
Was fear an issue?

Game of Thrones is equated with sexual sin and lust in a sermon at church.

Can a Christian Biblically study atheistic authors?
