Question: "Why did David choose five smooth stones before going to fight Goliath? Was David doubting God? Was it because Goliath had five brothers? Or, was David simply being prepared?" Answer:   Some presume that David took five smooth stones instead of just one because he had some doubt. However, there is no indication in the story of David and Goliath that by picking up five smooth stones instead of one that David was doubting God. Rather, David was simply being prepared.

We learn much of David’s character in the   book of Psalms as he opened up his life for all to examine.   David’s life   was a portrait of success and failure, and the biblical record highlights the fact that David was far from perfect. But what made David a cut above the rest ...

In a philosophical context, "The world" is the whole of the physical universe or an ontological world. The  World  existed before you and I were born. My view and the way I see the world is different from the way you see it, But what makes the world interesting is our individual view of it. Please feel free to write your own view of the world at the comment box for learning purposes. But now let's read my own view of the world. The World is filled with mysteries, some solved, some you can't fathom and some remain completely unknown. But then, there comes a time when the unknown becomes known and the known becomes unknown or facts. The world is a small global village where people of all races, ethnicity, religion, culture and tradition live together in peace, harmony, conflict and war. The world is a place where you meet people with d...
