We do not have our physical body in heaven. So there is no sickness or any of the passion we have here in our body. I think there are things they can not understand. Like aborted babies may not understand why their parents did that to them. Why they were denied the opportunity to live their life here on the earth. I am told there are a LOT of abortions. Jesus says heaven is all about the children.

I wonder if he will be our next vice president.

A lot of business in Florida leaves Christmas lights up year round.

Because God is single-minded with His plan and His purpose. If you want to reject God and go out on your own, then do not expect any help from Him.

When we have the mind of Christ then we will all be united together in one mind and one accord. WE can only be united together in and with God. This is why God caused confusion at the tower of Babel. Gensis 11 6And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them. 7Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.” 8So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city

Adam lived to be 930 years of age. David lived to be 70. They say that David got his 70 years from Adam. We know it was 3,000 years from Adam to David.

I do not memorize the Bible word for word. But I want people to know what part of the Bible we are talking about, so they can read it for themselves. Of course, they should read the whole passage if they want the context. You are right about that.

Psalm 139:16 tells us that God writes the book of our life at or before conception. We are given all of our gifts, talents and abilities. We need to do all we can to bring Him praise, honor and glory. There is nothing better than to worship and praise God. Science tells us that the total possible combination of alleles for the genes in humans is approximately 70,368,744,177,664. Right now there are 8,000,000,000. God knows the math and He knows every possible combination.

What does the Bible say about ego? If it is not a word in our Bible, then I do not see any need for it. The Bible is very clear not to add or take from it. The word omniscient is a good example. I do not see this word in our Bible, so it would be adding to the Bible to use this word. There are 613 laws. They add to the Bible. No one can add to what Jesus says and only Jesus can add to what we receive from Moses. So I always go back to look to see what Moses or Jesus tells us.

What would your wife do to you if you did?

There are things I would like to forget. At least God is able to forgive and forget or we would all be in trouble.

This is the link I was referring to. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/07/190709091117.htm This has to do with the nature vs nurture discussion that has been going on for a very long time in science. Now we have new studies and new information, so we can add to our understanding. In this case, the discussion has to do with BOTH memory AND instinct. This also has to do with DNA and Evolutionary science. The discussion has to do "birth defects". Can something we inherit cause homosexuality. I bring up TWO points for consideration. The memories or instincts we inherit AND generational curses. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/07/190709091117.htm Most Christians believe we can be healed and delivered from generational curses and birth defects. This is by definition a miracle from God. Not something we can do using positive thinking and the power of suggestion or the placebo effect. My father was an expert on hypnosis and he would hypnotize whole audiences. Once they invited him to my school to hypnotize the whole school. He was a medical doctor. He used the science to verify what is and what is not true.

Instinct. Jung identified five prominent groups of instinctive factors: creativity, reflection, activity, sexuality and hunger.

God is exact and precise. There is nothing to small that we are not rewarded for. The length of a day is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.0916 seconds. Is that exact and precise enough for you? This is why there are 365.2422 days in a year, but the day is getting longer making the year shorter. So there will be a perfect 24 day and a perfect 360 day year. Proverbs 4: 18 "But the path of the just is like shining light, that grows in brilliance onto the perfect day."

Yes, I have something new. I think that science shows memory can be inherited. We need to look at the scriptures where we are told in Deuteronomy 5:9 "I am a jealous God, and I will bring the curse of a father's sins upon even the third and fourth generation of the children of those who hate me" I believe God goes back in time to bring about the healing and deliverance for what people are experiencing today. This is also an issue for black people who carry the trauma of their ancestors. We need to take deliverance from generational curses to a new level. Is this genetic? That is something we are still doing research on. There is a LOT of "junk" DNA where we are not sure what is going on there. There is a lot of complexity here and I do not know if people are ready to get into dealing with that. "a growing body of evidence from research conducted over recent decades suggests that parental environment can have a profound impact on future generations". https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/07/190709091117.htm

They used to shake or quake. We have Quaker Oats in this area. They were into eating healthy food. They were not evangelical and their church died out because of that. The puritians and pilgrams joined together into one church.

I remember the story of Ruth where Boez went to the gate of the city to talk to the elders to get advice from them. Ruth 4:1 Boaz went to the gate and sat down there. Soon the kinsman-redeemer of whom he had spoken came along, and Boaz said, “Come over here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went over and sat down.

I attended a church where the pastor had written two or three book on demons. The police even considered him an expert on it. They would go to him for help to solve crimes. I was never interested to learn any of that. We just need to put that under the Blood of Jesus. There is wonder working power in the Blood.

I noticed that. People like Oprah and the women that writes the Harry Potter books have lots and lots of money. Oprah attributes it to the law of attraction, which I do support. Jesus tells us whatever reward she had coming, she has already collected. Matthew 6:1 And beware not to do your righteousness before men in order to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward in the presence of your Father in the heavens... Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.

I am not talking about healing or anything like that. Of course, if we are a vessel to be used by God, we give Him all the praise, honor and glory. My wife is from the Philippines and I have given them thousands and thousands of dollars and did not even get a thank-you back from them. We are told our reward is in Heaven and do not expect anything here on the earth. Of course we are told: "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:8 There are people who have a greater need than us. So why would we keep things to ourselves if they need them more than we do?

I am not much for ego. I got rid of it a long time ago.

I do not know anything about demons. I just put all of that under the blood.

I showed that one in 500 have a genetic defect of some sort. The 10% that consider themselves gay have nothing that can be found in the way of a defect. The traditional discussion usually has to do with nature vs nurture.

Our left hand is not to know what our right hand is doing. We walk in humility, so we do not even know the good we do. Which works out real good sense, it is rare for people to ever show any gratitude for what we do for them.

He goes by holiness, sanctification and being set apart from the world unto God. We need to be separated from the goats. We are to walk in love so that people know that we are different. We are to love our enemy and do good to those who intend to harm us. So we return good for their evil.
