Of course . . .
However, it lops off as utterly nonexistent under pain of nonexistence (at least no publishing existence) . . . all that which it cannot demonstrably
measure, slice, dice, 'prove' exclusively by the Greek method of knowing.
The Phenomenological Hebrew method of knowing is arbitrarily declared useless, nonexistent, forbidden etc. . . . unfittingly, without sufficient
justification.
And if you ask me one of the greatest issues the world faces today is people clinging on to the 'faiths of their ancestors', no matter how stupid the
beliefs may seem.
AHHHH YES . . .
Those terrible beliefs . . .
that
1. There is a God in Heaven and He supremely matters to individuals, couples, families, tribes and nations.
2. One man and one woman are the best incubator managers for children, families and society.
3. Sex outside of marriage is destructive to individuals and society.
4. Lying, stealing, deceiving, corruption, greed, ruthlessness are destructive and evil.
5. Fathers need to be emotionally bonded with their children.
6. Marriage is the exclusive contract between a man and a woman for life.
7. Lusting after another's wife, property, power, resources, is destructive and evil.
8. Idolatry, worship of anyone and anything other than Almighty God is destructive and evil.
9. Love is a supremely high priority--of God and of others.
10. Foul, cursing, evil communications are destructive.
11. A day of rest, worship and focus on God is life-giving and healthy.
12. Honoring respect of Mother and Father is life-giving and healthy.
13. Faithfulness in integrity in relationships is healthy and constructive.
14. A workman is worthy his hire.
15. Those who won't work ought not eat.
16. Diligence is wisdom.
17. Generosity to the poor and others is an investment with God.
18. Hypocrisy is destructive and evil.
19. Avoid going to sleep angry and in contention.
20. Forgiveness is essential for life, health and fulfillment.
21. Eternity is a long time.
22. Heaven is real.
23. Hell is real.
24. Choose this day whom you will serve.
25. Choose this day Life, eternal life, and soul peace.
26. We all reap what we sow--particularly short of confession, repentance, forgiveness via The Lord Jesus The Christ. There is NO SCIENTIFIC planting
of cacti and harvesting therefrom cantalope.
27. Fasting and prayer are powerful
[actually, there are a number of scientifically structured experiments documenting that, as well].
------
Forsaking, disdaining, dismissing, fighting, sabotaging, trashing those beliefs and values will result . . . sooner than later and certainly
ultimately . . . in destruction and death.
Science cannot (yet) be used to investigate things such as fallen angels,
Yes and no.
There's tons of scientifically verifiable evidence available generally and tons more still secret.
And, that evidence
NEED NOT be divorced from the phenomenological evidence also abundantly available. Both types of evidence and both types of
knowing are valuable to wise individuals.
chi,
Actually, you are wrong about that as well. I do not personally support the whole system of Qi etc. as I believe it is far too connected with satanic
stuff in terms of most practice and beliefs.
However, there have been some interesting SCIENTIFIC studies documenting certain energy states related to the accupuncture points.
karma
I don't support the Eastern religion notion of karma.
However, I'm convinced that it is scientifically verifiable with a properly structured study that
WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.
