  • Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: http://m.hear-it.org/Sudden-Hearing-Loss

    Recovery:

    Spontaneous recovery occurs in 32-79% of the cases, usually within the first two weeks. The chances of full hearing recovery are smaller for patients with severe loss of hearing and when the sudden sensorineural hearing loss is accompanied by vertigo. The younger the patient, the greater the likelihood of a full recovery.

  • Oh. My. God. Please tell me that there aren't people on this board that believe the world is flat...

    I dont think even coatse is that delusional.

  • Don't worry, OBF, it's par for the course. The libs won't ridicule a Muslim,

    but the first time you explain about being a Christian, the hard core ones

    go after you.

    The time I told how I nearly died in the middle of winter, as a kid, I got ridiculed about it,

    Too bad. Seems that when history or reality confronts their hardcore emotions, they attack.

    EDIT: referring to cleve who mocks most anything, anyways.

  • OBF, you wouldn't question a God that answers a prayer about a kid's hearing but ignores millions of other prayers and lets kids get raped and murdered?

    This is a serious, age old question. The Biblical answer has to do with the angelic conflict,

    and mankind's free will.

    https://www.gotquestions.org/angelic-conflict.html

    I had an incredible miracle that saved my young life. And the truth is, why doesn't

    everybody get a miracle... after that incident, I used to go out into the middle of our 147

    acres, mostly virgin timber, and would sit on "mossy hill" ...thick moss was all atop it,

    underneath giant beech and oak trees. I would talk to God, because believe me,

    at that time, for the first time, I KNEW God was there. Seriously, while my Dad was

    at work, I'd sit for hours there.

    I honestly expected to hear that Charlton Heston Ten Commandments voice come

    down from the heavens and explain it to me. But it never did.

    As I said to that, one time, in speech class.. it was just as well I didn't hear it,

    because I didn't want to be a preacher anyways......

    Is the angelic conflict really an allegory? don't know. I just know I miraculously got a second

    chance to be a great kid, son, friend, husband... the hideous evil, and the wonderul good in

    this world, sure seems like the angelic conflict to me....

    There is one Muslim on this board (as far as I am aware) and I think people have thoroughly let him know how they feel about Islam.

    People debate with OBF about it because he is a pretty reasonable guy to debate with. There will be knuckleheads who say nonsense to him but for the most part this has seemed pretty civil.

    While you know I don't believe in a higher power, this is a better religious explanation then "welp God works in mysterious ways". Thank you, Cal.

    I'm sorry, but I can't believe something with 0 evidence. Of course the Bible tells you the magic won't work every time, but keep believing. The people that wrote it want to keep their believers in line. Contingency plans and all that. I just don't understand how someone can be so gullible.

    I believe the spiritual conflict is real. Logic brought up probably the main point many atheists have towards belief in a personal God (and something I have thought about as well) and that is why God would allow such terrible things to happen such as a young child with cancer or any number of horrible things that happen to innocent people? Why if God could intervene and prevent it wouldn't He? The bible gives an answer on many of these questions but they are spiritual in nature and if you don't believe in anything spiritual you won't accept it. The bible says satan is the god of this world 2 Cor 4:4 and that is and always has been the problem. We live in a world dominated by satan and demonic forces. For all the mockery thrown at God speaking the universe into existence for me it still holds up as the better argument than out of absolute nothing came the physical universe. And the bible is correct in stating the universe had a beginning which science agrees with today. The spiritual realm is even more real than the physical realm because the physical realm was created from the spiritual realm.

    Daniel ch 10 shows clearly the curtain being pulled back and the spiritual battle in the spiritual realm. An angel tells Daniel that his prayer was heard the first day he prayed but the angelic messenger was delayed in battle bringing the answer to him. This is all about the spiritual realm and the conflict in the heavenlies. The angel spoke of the spiritual conflict with the prince of Persia and he is not speaking of any human here but demonic angels behind the scenes. I believe that same demonic prince of Persia is still there today ruling behind the scenes.

    The Apostle Paul says the same thing that the real conflict is behind the scenes in the spiritual realm where the battle lies. It is not with people it is with demonic forces working through people. Ephesians 6:12.

    Thanks for posting that Cal about the angelic conflict. It kind of prodded me to go there.

  • So to recap the Kyrieistic view of th the world.....what exactly happens when we shoot up GPS, weather, communications and other satellites not to mention real human beings up to orbit the earth?

    Are they really going around the earth taking pictures or are they just on a big carousel like a big record player? Wouldn't they see each other?

    Too confusing for my little brain comprehend. πŸ˜‰

    I've always found this hard to comprehend seeing as Hell was damnation AND imprisonment for Satan. Whom set him loose?

    While we're at it, if Satan is the God of this world - how will the 'meek inherit the Earth'...?

    Finally, Satan hath created the affliction is a convenient..... excuse. (For lack of a better word)

  • There's always something to be said about first hand evidence.

    The Earth curvature is not apparent to the human eye so as far as the empirical evidence leans him it is flat.

  • If you chose not to believe so be it. But I and some others chose to. You want call us ignorant have at it. I know that I'm an educated man and a good person, don't need you for confirmation.

    Some of us have used our beliefs as the backbone of life of meaningfulness. Just because you have chosen not to do the same, doesn't give you the right to use our beliefs as a punchline.

    Most Agnostics and Atheists I talk subscribe to science and reason. To me all the discoveries made by scientists no matter their personal beliefs confirm God's existence.

  • Don't worry, OBF, it's par for the course. The libs won't ridicule a Muslim,

    but the first time you explain about being a Christian, the hard core ones

    go after you.

    Hell was created for satan and demons and not man but when man sides in with satan and takes sides against God he will go to hell. It is not God's will that anyone go to hell but man is created in God's image which is spiritual and when our bodies die our spirits live on either in heaven or hell. Not only the Apostle Paul but Jesus makes clear that satan is the ruler of the earth (for now). When satan tempted Jesus saying that he (satan) was given authority over the world and he could transfer that authority to Jesus he was not not lying. That authority came from Adam when he sinned and satan took the authority over the world God had given to Adam. That authority was time limited and satan's rule over the earth is coming to a close. The meek shall inherit the earth..yes and the bible speaks of a new heaven and a new earth to come and that is the inheritance spoken of. As for the afflictions and tragedies coming from satan and satan being the god of this world as I said the bible explains many things but some will not accept them. They are spiritual realities that are spiritually discerned.
