The evidence is in rebirth for one and the other is the prophecies about Israel that have come true in Ezekiel, Isiah, and other prophets that we have seen some fulfilled in our life time. Plus, I have had some teachings directly from The Father.
That works for now, I guess. From what I've learned, God picks people like you for Great Things, that can be credited to no one but Himself. Take Paul, for instance.
You can't make yourself believe. Faith is a gift from God. From what you type you have never believed in the Christian God, despite part of you wanting to....it is not an accusation, it is an observation.
I think this is the most honest prayer right here:
This... agreed.

Lectio difficilior potior@Red Sky at Morning, whatever you do, don't go up to Oxford University to study the Bible. They might teach, or try to teach, such technical terms as ...
"vaticinium ex eventu
The term applied to a passage in the prophets or the gospels which has the form of a prediction but is in fact written in the knowledge of the event having occurred (e.g. probably Luke 21: 20)."
Do note, however, that, even with such a fancy, descriptive term and tool in their shed, they cannot say for certain when and where it was used and must qualify their guess by saying "probably." Thus, they really prove nothing, even though they do it with a fine British accent
Depends what you want to believe and what is reasonable. We live in a world full of lies and evil. Anything that will taint and stain God's trusty record will be made available to anyone. It's up to you if you want to believe God is a liar. Ask yourself, who is trustworthy, God or the devil? You know that ANYONE that is not evil will have their reputation damaged by sick people. It's like the evil one wants to paint Everyone was bad, like human beings are not capable of having good hearts.
I have three indoor gardens; cannabis of several varieties, lettuces/greens, and fruiting plants like tomatoes/squash. I basically grow my more finicky and more often eaten vegetables indoors with hydroponics and my medicine in a separate space. Everything is hydroponic indoor and it is how I start my outdoor crops.
Wow. Thats impressive.
That’s impressive, Damien.
) blackberries, nasturtiums for salads and champagne grapes.
That’s impressive, Damien.
Thanks
I had no idea you were such an avid gardener!
I started growing weed because of financial hardship and at some point it only made sense to grow my own food.
I try to grow as much of our produce as possible, but it’s hard living in North Texas where our summers are sweltering and even tomatoes get limp with daily watering......indoor hydroponics would be a great solution.
A decently sized room that can hold multiple 4x4 or 8x4 grow tents is best with ventilation that extracts hot air from the house and pulls in fresh air to the room. An ebb and flow/flood and drain saves the most water combined with high end LED lights from company's like Horticulture Lighting Group you end up spending more initially but saving more in the long game.
Right now, we’ve got “Tall telephone” peas, blueberries, alpine strawberries, potatoes, page mandarins, “Tiny Tim” salad tomatoes, wild (aka invasive
This year, I also decided to try my hand at pomegranates, which we are starting from seed.
I have cherry tomatoes, watermelon, Japanese peppers, potatoes, carrots, and more roots than fruiting plants at the moment outside because the heat is so high.
The alpine strawberries & peas are beginning to falter due to the heat (It’s reaching 90 degrees during the day).
How do you find the space to grow so much indoors?
Spare room, garage, big closet. Get grow tents or even build ebb and flow tables for vegetables that do better in 60-75f climates.
My youngest son has taken a liking to carnivorous plants....mostly Venus fly traps but also those really big pitcher plants that could probably consume a mouse! The carnivorous plants have been a challenge for us, though...we had nothing but false starts, as the little tubers are quite finicky about water & light requirements and will only take rainwater or distilled, so it’s been a learning process, to say the least.
I have read enough to know that I'll probably buy a reverse osmosis system before I go further lol.
I’ve been considering trying out edible landscaping in the front of our house, since many herbs & edibles can be really beautiful specimen plants, as well.
Spinach is gorgeous when it flowers.
With water conservation going on in the hot summer, and since we live on less than a third of an acre, it’s hard for me to justify keeping all the plants watered daily unless they are feeding us.
Outdoor irrigation with mulch/rocks will help slow evaporation and be more efficient. I'm on several acres but the majority of my stuff is indoor because I don't like dealing with an environment I can't control.
We should do a gardening thread on here, if there isn’t one already.
I actually want to see a thread about gardening. This is Red's thread, so no need to apologize to me.Sorry, Thunderian...again
Back to keeping it relevant
An interesting investigation for anyone who has wondered about the claims made by @manama above...
