Personally I think the higher power i know has never left so coming back isn't really an issue. The God i know wasn't on vacation and is always with us. I may have drifted away from that knowledge but it was my drift only. We each have our own feelings on this issue but that is mine.

Hugs,

They're already doing stem cell research, and making plenty of fantastic advancements. The problem isn't that it isn't happening, it just isn't happening on large scale due to lack of funding because of religious interference.

People have been saying that for almost 200 years if you are talking about Christ rather than God and I'm with Charlie on the God part.

It also says very clearly that no one knows or can foretell when. My advise is t live your life as if it will last forever and as if today is your last day. That by the way is not really contradictory.

myself I believe in living a God centered life but prefer the word Creator because so many denominations and groups have tried to put boxes around the very word God that it somehow seems inaccurate anymore but I don't consider myself religious - I consider myself spiritual. The Pharisees were religious. But not spiritual.

"Love Ye one Another" was the heart of Jesus ministry. He taught tolerance - it was those who were narrowly religious who came after who began to teach intolerance. At least that is my understanding from studying the bible and biblical history. But each of us must find his or her path.

Besides if Christ is returning soon all your angst about being trans and your equipment is meaningless anyway. Personally I am going to prepare for the best future I can and live my life as fully as I can today because for every one of us young and old each day could be our last.

I'm not so much hoping for the stem cell thing as the 3D printer that even now is being used experimentally to print using living cells cloned from the recipient into shapes scanned in using 3d imaging. They can't yet produce a working organ but are actually closing in on it rapidly.

Well God told me for everyone to chill out and enjoy some stem cell research, cause he didn't wanna come back just yet. He said that it was a bummer just thinking about it right now.

I agree.

to be honest, I find it a little ironic that we are supposedly Playing god' with stem cell research, yet hormone therapy, or even medicine in general, oh well that's ok.

I don't know why people are so worried about using the stem cells from a used placenta or a few hundred cell fertilized egg, which would never have grown into a human anyway.

Have read the bible, but I have my own beliefs or not beliefs, they just don't agree with what you believe.

Again *shrugs*. I think Stem cell research is in our near future.

I wouldn't speak in absolutes either, it can be considered disrespectful to others when concerning belief.

Well its true though, None of us have much longer believ it or not

Oh, Jay, you are such an incurable optimist. :)

Anyway, if we have such a short time, you won't need to worry about dating and girls and marriage and sex, right?

What else is true is that peanutbutter is delicious and no one likes seafood.

Or would that just be true for me?

You should respect other's beliefs, there is really no if and or but about that. Just asking to make enemies if you don't.

This is truly an odd thread...st john wrote revelations on the island of patmos. He did this while he was starving. He was suffering from dementia and delusion. Just saying.

Revelations is a crazy book that no one should read exceot to get a good laugh.

Insert I beleive in god and jesus.

No Its not I meant watch how you talk about God, Saying certain sciptures or books in the bible is stupid is blasphemy, Which you cannot b forgiven for

I can guarantee you I have read more of the bible than you have. I used to teach it to others. I happen to find it unconvincing. Almost every sign mentioned in the bible such as increasing wars, famine, disease, increasing knowledge, could have easily been predicted if one assumed an increasing population, which would have been a logical assumption. Concluding that we now have more earthquakes is presumptuous, since the technology to find and record earthquakes is relatively new. We don't have more, we just know about more of them.

      I seems like I am dreading going to my job more each day. So, I take it as a sign to jump ship. All the time I expect to be chastised. It is not a good way to have a job. I am on the hunt for a new one, however nothing has surfaced.   Kymmie

      Hi Heather, thank you for the welcome 
    • Lydia_R
      I'm currently on the ballot for an open US Representative seat in Portland Oregon.  Here are some of the news stories on me:   Rachel Lydia Rand on Ballotpedia: https://ballotpedia.org/Rachel_Rand#Campaign_themes KATU 2 (ABC) Know Your Candidates 2024: Rachel Lydia Rand https://www.katu.com/news/know-your-candidates/rachel-lydia-rand-d-congress-district-3 League of Women Voters Candidate Forum for US Representative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOoS39CTEOw KOIN 6 Written Interview | top issues, what's going right https://www.koin.com/news/politics/rachel-rand-on-running-for-district-3-top-issues-whats-going-right/ League of Women Voter's Interview with Rachel Lydia Rand https://youtu.be/V5o9RKE3WVo     This is my third time running for US Rep.  Campaigning is very challenging for me because I only have two family members still alive and I've spent less than 2 weeks with them in my life and I have virtually no social network to start with and I don't belong to any social media sites.  I haven't even been able to post here and on sites like it because of rules about self-promotion.   I'm boldly saying in these videos that I want to be appointed to vice-president in the next 5 years.  My platform is about addressing climate change and everything that comes with it.  Population decline is the number one proposal I have and it is very, very scary and controversial for most people.  The way I see it is that oil is more than a fuel we burn in our cars, it's a substance we pave our roads with.  And it will run out, so at some point in the future, most of these roads are going to go away and we'll have a much harder time distributing food.  I play chromatic pennywhistle and I'm this iconic whistleblower politician saying that we will not be able to support 10 billion people at the end of the century on wind and solar power.  Even solar panels are made with oil and there isn't much difference between a wind turbine and a dam.  If we can build skyscrapers and nuclear power, then you'd think we'd be able to figure out how to make a wind turbine 100 years ago.  It's simply not as efficient.  The numbers I've crunched say that if we have one child for every two women for the next 40 years and then go back to normal replacement rate, we'll get our population down to 2 billion by 2099 which is where the world was at in 1950.  If we don't do that and stay on this current path for the projected 10 billion by 2100, then when oil runs out and climate change raises sea levels and floods coastal cities, humanity is going to be in a very uncivil situation.   I'm sorry that I'm not making a huge issue of transgender rights.  Of course I'm here to support our community.  I'd be highly visible on our national and international scene as a transwoman.  I tend to focus on engineering realities rather than these social issues.  It upsets me that people take engineering for granted.  People tend to just get in their cars and think that there will be some space age technical solution that will make it all OK.   OK, that's my rant for the day :-)  Coffee is on.  4:26am.  The ABC station is interviewing me again in a few hours and people can vote for me today.  Please consider spreading the word.  I'm only one person and it takes an incredible amount of effort to keep my political thinking and platform going.   Sincerely, Rachel Lydia Rand Jazz Musician | Software Engineer

      "Exstatic" is an adjective that means feeling great rapture or delight. For example, "His wife gave birth to their first child, and he was ecstatic about it". Synonyms of "ecstatic" include rapturous, entranced, enthusiastic, and frenzied.

      Absolutely. Being able to encourage, to help, others is so empowering. I've been helped by so many people over the years, I love being able to pay it forward.

      Good morning, everyone!!   A busy day ahead for me - need to cut the grass and then pick up the clippings. The grass grows so quickly this time of year. I cut almost 7 acres so that will take up most of my day. At least I can get some sun on my legs and arms!!   Time for another cup of coffee as I catch up here.   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.
