Mechanics of killing and genocide

I've been reading the book “ THE BRAIN THE STORY OF YOU” by David Eagleman. Eagleman talks about killing and genocide. He tells about a number of studies and experiments showing how the human brain works. In one experiment, the researchers asked each person of a group of people what they would do in two different scenarios. In the first scenario, they were told to imagine themselves standing next to a railroad track. There's a switch right there that would make the train go in either of two directions. There are 4 workers on the track that the switch is now switched to. On the other track there is 1 worker. A runaway railroad car is coming down the track in your direction. You have to decide what you will do. Will you leave the switch alone and let the railroad car kill the 4 workers or will you switch the track and the car kill the 1 worker. Almost every person said they would switch the track. They felt it was better for 1 to die rather than 4. In the second scen...

Wars

I have it on my heart to talk about war. I guess it's because of that war to end all wars, also know as the battle of Armageddon talked about in the Bible. We all know what war is but if you are like me, I doubt that you've ever really thought much about it. I want to start of by giving the definition of war.

The Great Day of The Lord

I've been studying about this day in the future known as "the great day of the Lord". This is what I've discovered: All peoples, everyone, will know Who it is coming  (the Lord Jesus Christ). Everyone will mourn. All tears will be wiped away. Matthew 24:30 King James Version (KJV) 30  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Revelation 1:7 Common English Bible (CEB) 7  Look, he is coming with the clouds! Every eye will see him, including those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. This is so. Amen. Why is everyone morning? I believe it is because it is at this moment that everyone sees or comes to know that person Jesus died for; the true self. Isaiah 45:21-25 Common English Bible (CEB) 21  Announce! Approach! Confer together!   ...
