Only stands to reason (cont. from "the evangelist")

"I'm not sure I follow you," he tells me.

"It only stands to reason, doesn’t it? Look, 'It is appointed unto man ONCE to die' so, if someone dies once, and is brought back, then they can't die again. If they could die again, then Hebrews 9:27 would be a lie."

"No, look, that doesn’t make any sense. There are several people in the Bible who were raised from the dead, but they couldn't possibly still be around."

"It makes perfect sense. They were raised from the dead and they are still around."

"That wouldn't be natural."

"Is resurrection natural?"

"No, it's a miracle"

"Miracle’s aren't natural?"

"That's the definition of miracle, isn't it?"

"If you say so. Is creation a miracle?"

"Of course."

"Then nothing in creation is natural, and it shouldn't be any surprise to come across unnatural things every day."

Anyone's Gospel

Anyone's Gospel:
Act rightly, love completly.
It seems so simple.

Syllogism

Truism: Good is not accomplished by doing evil.

Things that are evil: Lying, Murder, Torture, Profiteering.

It follows that good will not be accomplished by an enterprise which lies, murders, tortures, and profits from distruction.

I actively dread posting

I think of things to write about, but I'm afraid that I won't do them justice. I like them so much as ideas that I hate to ruin them with voice.
