What are the Singaporeans putting in their dessert coffee? Chocolate or other things?

I mean, this was the intense coffee you get served up after dinner, but a jugful of it. I drank three cups and found myself looking down from the ceiling...

I did buy yours, of course...why would you lie and I could see the enthusiasm in the telling ...I mean it really happened to you!

The only Bible stuff I like to talk about is the stuff I tried and tested and that worked...that stuff was true.
Proof?:
Just my friends that watched my life unfold from the first week on when I practiced some things-little gems in the Bible we are are advised to do.
Ha, and I found out very soon ....not one Christian I knew did them!!!! Hahahahahah, lol....how did I know because I counseled them, I knew their secrets...they applied near nothing from the Bible into their daily lives. Very funny!
Talkin the talk...then not applying it. I may have digressed, sorry.

Do you believe the Miracle story in Christianity about MRSA?
I do...but there's no proof, per se.

Can I prove there is a God? Come back up to Denver where mushrooms are legal...maybe I can convince you.
thats right hepp, they stay strictly within the confines of religion. Here, the religious confines is the "there is no biblegod". they can't argue outside of religion (there is no biblegod) because their belief system begins to erode under scrutiny.

thats why they don't go there.

People have been fighting and killing each other over that argument since...well since the Stone Age. Probably before that.

Because of false religious teachers people have been fighting and killing.
False clergy have even used the pulpit as a recruiting station so parents will sacrifice their young on the Altar of War.
They teach that is the same thing as the Altar of God, but it is Not.
Jesus, a true religious teacher, teaches Not to fight and kill as per Matthew 26:52; Revelation 13:10.
Jesus and his 1st century followers were only ' neutral ' in world affairs.
They did Not even get involved in the ' issues of the day ' between the Jews and Romans.
Thus, genuine ' wheat ' Christians live by the 1st-century teachings of Jesus, and Not man's church customs.
James 1:27 also gives us a clue as to the right religion.

What process did you use to determine that your god is the right god, and if I used your process, would I get the same result?

It doesn't matter what Jesus taught as much as it matters what those who identify with him actually do.

As a retired teacher and school administrator, when students weren't learning, a big part of the blame was on the teacher...not all the blame...but a good part of it. Maybe Jesus wasn't such an effective teacher.
