Original animal protein fossils – I first learned about original soft tissue fossils from Creation magazine in 1997. What looked like red blood cells and blood vessels from inside Tyrannosaurus bone did not fit what I had been told about how fossils are millions of years old. I immediately understood that the fossil, and therefore the rock layer that held it, could be no older than thousands of years: https://creation.com/original-animal-protein-fossils

Will God continue to forgive you if you commit the same sin over and over again? | GotQuestions.org: https://www.gotquestions.org/forgive-same-sin.html

If you think you are standing strong, be careful, for you, too, may fall into the same sin. But remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can’t stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it. 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 Blessings to you all
