I'm jealous of your rain. We haven't gotten hardly any snow or rain this winter and it has been very warm for Wyoming. This year's fire season is going to be really bad and officials are already quietly talking about major water rationing this summer. I'm praying for one of our insane spring snows (once every 3-10 years) where we get 2+ feet of heavy, wet snow.
I'm also a bit sensitive about fires, having lost my home in a 60+ mph wind fueled fire just over 10 years ago. We did rebuild very fire resistant. Brick and steel outside, steel roof, steel garage door, cement decks and side walks. I wanted a moat, but that wasn't practical.

If you say I adhere to the Bible, that is true. The Bible is the word of God and I interpret everything based on what it says. Yes, occasionally an outside source can illuminate the culture of the time and make something clearer, but the Bible should be interpreted by the Bible. Extra-biblical sources are not equal to the Bible. I also believe God is able to maintain His word and make sure we know which books are cannon and which are not. When we give anything outside the Bible equal authority or higher authority, we are in error because God doesn't make mistakes and He is able to maintain His word.
You bring up some interesting points, but when you equate God or Jesus with angels, you are so far off from truth that I fear for your soul.

2026-02-03 22:26:17 UTC

- reply

It really isn't, but people who don't want to accept a higher authority like to overlook all of the logic and evidence supporting it. The supposed "science" used to "debunk" Christianity requires greater faith and greater suspension of logic than does believing the Bible literally.

2026-02-03 22:24:23 UTC

- reply

Yes, our experience can be spiritual or intangible, but God is not the author of confusion. When His word is written, it is logical and a literal and physical thing is not a parallel to a spiritual and intangible thing. When reading/writing something, it makes more sense that both pieces are meant in the same manner. If you can make it mean whatever you want, then it doesn't mean anything at all.

I know the idea I brought up isn't commonly considered, but I think it is less that it doesn't fit the text, and more that it is uncomfortable and hard to explain. We humans tend to dismiss things that are either uncomfortable or incomprehensible.

The evidence strongly suggests that you are right that the fallen angels physically took human women as wives and had children of them, called the Nephilim. Your understanding of who Jesus is is completely off base and contrary to the clear word of the Bible. I pray you get who Jesus is correct because it is necessary to be saved and to be with Him in heaven.

Jesus is the Word and Creator of all that is.
"1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." (John 1:1-2)
Nothing that exists was not created by Jesus and that includes Satan and the angels.
Jesus is God and has always existed.
"God said to Moses, “ I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” (Exodus 3:14) The name of God is "I am."
"Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.” (John 8:58)
If you look at the Pharisees response after Jesus's statement, they understood He was claiming to be God.
"Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus *said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”" (John 20:28)
Jesus was worshipped as God and Jesus blessed Thomas for believing that He was God. Whenever a person falls down in worship before an angel, the angel instantly corrects the person. Jesus accepted it.

The problem is that it is illogical to take half of the prophecy as literal and physical while making the parallel half allegorical. We know the first half is literal.

2026-02-02 18:47:48 UTC

I have a difficult question for my fellow Christians. After Satan tempted Adam and Eve to sin, God spoke to Satan:
“And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her seed;
He shall bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel.” (Genesis 3:15)
The woman’s seed is Jesus, who is a physical descendant of Eve through Mary. I had always taken Satan’s seed to be people who rejected God, but if Jesus fulfilled literally and physically the prophecy of Eve’s seed. Is the seed of Satan a literal and physical descendant of Satan? Could this refer to the Antichrist and could it indicate that the Antichrist is a nephilim?
I don’t know the answer, but I do take God’s Word seriously, even when that is uncomfortable and contrary to what I believe or what I want to believe.

Most of the nation has been having crazy cold temperatures. We've had such warm temperatures (compared to our normal crazy cold) that is feels like we skipped winter and went straight from fall to spring. I'm considering going outside this afternoon and sitting in the sun in short sleeves. Normally in January, the temperature would never go above freezing and we historically had a few days that didn't make it above 0 F. Todays high is in the 50s F. The weather is sure wacky this year.

Me too. I like black tea, green tea, and white tea. I like lots of kinds of herbal tea. I actually make 6 travel mugs of different teas (many mixed myself and all but one loose leaf) every morning, I ran out of travel mugs, so I also make a regular mug of tea and mug of coffee to go with all of that. I then drink them throughout the day. When people see my line of tea mugs, they think I am some strange tea lady. I guess I am.

I agree that some of what ICE is doing (or maybe more how they are doing it) is bad, but when they are doxed and tracked and followed and attacked, it creates a war like environment that makes both sides get more aggressive. I don't know how to stop the escalation. I don't like the Feds getting more and more war like, but I also don't think the protestors' actions can be allowed. There is also strong evidence that they are being aided and funded by high level democrats and foreign nations. I wish there was an easy answer. Giving in isn't acceptable. Going full tyrant isn't acceptable. I don't know what is the best answer. We need to have a little grace.

Many of those low productivity workers, if given a chance to work and learn, could become higher productivity workers who could produce and earn more. With a high minimum wage, they never get that first job that allows them to learn and grow and be worth the higher wage (or risk to the employer). This makes them eternally dependent on the government for existence. Maybe that is the point.

I love the decline, but divorce is still too common. I also wonder if divorce is declining because many young people no longer choose to get married at all.

My favorite translation by far is the NASB (closest to word for word translation, so good for deep study, but a little harder to read if you aren't a good reader), but it isn't in the public domain yet. The ESV is also good (a touch easier to read, but still tends towards word for word translation (also not public domain) and the NLT is a good translation for easy reading (more of a phrase for phrase translation, but accurate) (my special needs son uses it, but once again, I don't think it is in the public domain). The 1984 NIV version is good, but the 2000s versions went a bit woke.
KJV is public domain, but being written in the 1600s, the English is antiquated and harder to read unless you read a lot of Shakespeare and similar works. Many of the words have changed meanings and/or are out of use. Still, it is probably worth including.

Malamutes are insanely strong. My previous malamute once pulled so hard that he snapped his metal pinch collar in two. I was always trying to find some way to make walking him easier.

I know how to deal with cold. Negative Fahrenheit temperatures and 40+ mph winds are normal winter weather for us.

It is raining in Wyoming in January. This is not normal. What is up with the weather?

We're not hot any more. I woke up to 0.0 F.

I just can't get over the weather this year. We had 79 F in Colorado Monday and it rained last night in Wyoming on the day after Christmas. This is unheard of.
I know other areas are getting much colder or much snowier than usual. Is this a fluke year or the sign of something worse? I'm not sure.

I love dark chocolate. My current favorite is Equal Exchange 92% dark chocolate.
I recently bought some dates and dipped them in this super dark chocolate. Yum! I'll be doing that again.

My husband's grandma renewed her driver's license at 102 and would drive the old ladies to church. She lived on the old homestead in Eastern Colorado until a week before passing at 105.

The informed know enough to know they don't know everything. The uninformed don't know enough to know what they don't know.
There has actually been a study on the subject. Those who know least generally rate themselves as knowing the most and those that know the most generally rate themselves as not knowing the subject well. This is true until you get to the true subject matter experts, who start rating themselves higher.

1 is fun.
I don't know why, but I love when someone asks the temperature and I can answer 1 F. I don't know that it is my favorite temperature to actually hang out in, but I find incomprehensible joy out of reporting the temperature of 1 F.
