We all agree some things are worth arguing over.

That's where my daughter is, and she said -20.

A luncheon shoot? what a great idea!

That would be 2016. We barely escaped electing Hillary Clinton as our president that year. For once Al Gore was correct.

But what does it mean for a sentient being to fill heaven and earth? Just because He's a spirit doesn't mean He's like a gas that expands to fill a volume.

Or even in a septic tank (toilets are a little small for us to fit in). The point of the verses is not that God is in every place, necessarily, but that He is watching over us wherever we go. He sees us when we are in trouble. He is with us always, who are His, but is He with everyone, even...

Is God in the toilet when you are taking a dump?

Would you answer the question? Is the answer as crass as the question?

It makes sense that John wrote Revelation earlier than 90, but it would be weird to have written to churches Paul started (like Ephesus) so early in Paul's ministry--even later in Paul's ministry.

I get them confused sometimes, but I thought panentheism says that God is in everything. What @Ps82 and @chrysostom are saying is the opposite--that everything is in God. If everything is in God, that sounds more like everything is God, which I thought was closer to pantheism.

He sounds like Thomas Sowell.

@Clete likes to go think about hard questions after he says goodbye. Don't give up on him.

Some appreciate it, not because it is true (surely you would appreciate it if it were truth), but because it makes you question your belief (which I hope you will some day appreciate, if you don't already). I don't know what that means, except possibly pantheism.. If the earth is God's...
