    Well, without a measurement system, I would claim half of my soil is actually sand.

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Just think how pleased God is knowing that you are defending Him and our current English translations of the Bible.

    I am not a Python programmer. After VB, I didn't tinker with programming any more.

    The Crippling Effects of Christian Dogma - Mindless Parroting of Apologetics

    I see. I will guess that you have read the extensive research of the ECF and their behavior. That being said, when Jesus warned His followers that this would happen, just what century do you this the prophecy took place? Obviously, you don't think it happened within the first 300 years.

    The Crippling Effects of Christian Dogma - Mindless Parroting of Apologetics

    That is exactly how the church that Jesus started got corrupted. The letters written by the Apostles did exist even though they had not been compiled into a book. It was those letters that were read and interpreted by the theologians that arose in the first few centuries. It was also those...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Deep water ahead... Danger Will Robinson..... Quick observations: There are those who believe that they already know the truth, and it is contained in their favorite translation. As to whether they have actually studied their favorite translation and compared passage that both prove and...

    The Crippling Effects of Christian Dogma - Mindless Parroting of Apologetics

    Oh, then you are blessed to be amidst a group of Christians who actually study the scriptures and gather together to discuss how the passages fit each other or go against each other then pray to God for truth! That is great. I, however, see only those who read commentaries and learn what the...

    When Yahweh gives conviction, there is no confusion. The Devil's argument can be overcome - God's cannot.

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Well, sir, as usual; the idea that Yeshua grew up in Egypt would apply only to the first few years of life. Just as scientist attempt to claim that man is the god of this planet, theologians dream of facts that are not proved.

    The Crippling Effects of Christian Dogma - Mindless Parroting of Apologetics

    Yep, that began at the end of the first century. Followers of Christ have had to delve into scripture themselves and pray to Yahweh for truth. Sadly, "the church" has become the sole source of truth for most.

    Here in the Florida Panhandle, if we want to garden; we nearly have to manufacture actual dirt.

    And that gives us a great reason to study and WAIT for Yahweh to provide conviction. Over the years, I have learned that some claim "conviction" on things that were false.

    United Methodists Lose 1M Members in a Single Day, Council of Bishops 'Grieves' Mass Exodus(After vote to allow gay clergy & ss unions)

    So, are there people here who think homosexuality is acceptable in God's eyes? I think sexual immorality covers a few bases. Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them...

    Red Letter Christians are not in error, but they may not fully comprehend all that there is to know.

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    I should not be surprised by those who announce how those of us who have studied the origin of the New Testament books and the manipulation by copyists and scribes are accused of having evil intent. Those announcement hold no water for the history is out there to see. If there was ever a reason...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    It makes no sense for Yeshua to speak Greek to the Jews. Actually, Aramaic was the language in the area. Aramaic was the spoken language of first century Israel. According to first century Jewish historian, Josephus, Jews didn't speak Greek in first century Israel. He wrote: "I have also...

    United Methodists Lose 1M Members in a Single Day, Council of Bishops 'Grieves' Mass Exodus(After vote to allow gay clergy & ss unions)

    There is more to do with "upbringing" than meets the eye. If there is more than one child in the house, I'd bet they both see actions of parents differently. Then again, "upbringing" is also relationships with peers and adults outside of the house. Parents don't get to see much of that - and...

    United Methodists Lose 1M Members in a Single Day, Council of Bishops 'Grieves' Mass Exodus(After vote to allow gay clergy & ss unions)

    Nobody has ever found the "gay gene." People are raised in such a way that the affection and intimacy of a same sex person is desirable. Back before 1974, psychologists knew it was a mental illness. Then, they changed the definition.

    Who is this God that calls Himself US and OUR?

    Not really, all the translators held on doctrine that was forced upon them at a very young age. If you go back before the Geneva bible, you will probably note some differences. Along the way, differences appeared. The real issue, however, is that very few ever truly examine all of scripture...
