My wife needs to read this: Caring for Your Introvert. Please.

Dennis Prager hits the nail here: The future is Muslim, European or American

The madness of the animal rights movement. I love animals, really, but I recognize and understand the similarities and differences between animals and humans.

We are both mortal (Ecclesiastes 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other. Yea, they have all one breath, so that man hath no preeminence above a beast, for all is vanity.), yes.

Mankind was made to look like God (Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.) , and we have authority over and the responsibility of caring for the earth. Notice that the animals were created after their own kinds (Genesis 1:5 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.), possibly hinting of the spiritual beings they were modeled after.

Man has the ability to know he exists, and to know that he knows. To ponder, to visualize, to perceive , to hope, to dream, to create and to destroy. We understand the things in the world because of our human spirit placed in our frontal lobes by God, which works in harmony with our brain and is the essence of who we are but has no consciousness apart from our physical bodies and no inherent immortal life. We don't have the ability to comprehend the spiritual world.

1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. and

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. and

1 Timothy 6:13 I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, 14 that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing, 15 which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

The greatest difference is in our potential. After repentance and baptism, God places a piece of His spirit in us which, in combination with our human spirit, allows us to begin to comprehend the spiritual, literally begetting us as His sons, eventually to be born of God.

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God and

1 john 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

What is Your Destiny? covers this in more depth. It also answers the question: Why does God allow war?

Oh, by the way: A Time Of World Troubles Is Here! Thought you'd like to know.
