    Religion Christianity: Conceptions and misconceptions

    Generally I would say "yes". Simply, our environments, friends, or people around us can certainly influence us in many ways as we grow. The earlier they start to influence on you, the bigger the effects are. But in my case, I grew up in Japan with non-believer family members + local...

    Religion Biblical Texts: Explication and Discussion

    A prophecy has been out regarding of the coming disaster in the west, Los Angeles. Although some people may still not believe God who is "alive" and "talks", this may be a purpose of "sowing the seed", at least that's how I see it. If you are in Los Angeles area and be able to evacuate, please...

    Religion Biblical Texts: Explication and Discussion

    To Mars Man Please do not think I simply discard your effort nor totally ignoring the place for us to reason, a logical approach. I do not think lightly the significance of the Greek language/Hebrew or its grammars because those things surely help anyone to understand the Bible. Other...

    Religion Biblical Texts: Explication and Discussion

    I agree. I hope that was your intention of the discussion here, too. I am not sure if my brain can handle that. I am not so smart and not so educated, but I think human brains are not like an absolute computer to solve any problem or know everything. That struggle, wanting to know, is of...

    Religion Biblical Texts: Explication and Discussion

    I wish all human languages would be perfect so that everyone can communicate 100% with no mistake or misunderstanding. Or is it the languages themselves having the limitation to do the task? I think it is natural for anyone to make a mistake even in the writing of the scriptures since the...

    Covering Ourselves in the Name of Truth

    However he meant that logic, as long as a logical approach to know something is by "our thinking process with the brains", then there is limitation. Or is there any logic without such intellectual struggle? My point is that you don't even need a brain to know a truth :) I guess if only our...

    Covering Ourselves in the Name of Truth

    Truth sometimes can not be understood by any logic. What we think and take as logical may not be so in the reality. The truth is unshakable and stays as it is. Just because we can't comprehend something, we can not label that as untruth. People used to believe the earth was flat. They...

    What do you like about your first/native language?

    Most of the time, I do not like the complex structure of Japanese language, but at the same time, I find that to be interesting sometimes. In my opinion, Japanese is excellent language to express indirectly, hide the true meaning, or describe a subtle thing. English is pretty much the very...
