In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

    Fox "News" Openly Pandering for the Insurrectionist Caucus

    Say whatever you like about Fox News…..but they provide a valuable service…..they provide safe haven to the gullible…..and represent the base of the Republican Party…..

    The hypocrisy of wealthy pastors

    In regards to “the eye of a needle” one must consider if that was an errant translation. The Aramaic word for ‘rope’is almost identical to the Hebrew word for ‘camel’.

    Yours or mine ? Mine is interpretation……which is what I encourage……the literal is for those “who speak like a child”…..now is the time to put away childish ideas…..

    I gave the answer in #127……because you adhere to literal readings is the reason I pointed out that you could not provide chapter and verse…..your venture into interpretation was nonsensical…..it more clearly indicates into whose hands you share the word….that is your duty as a custodian….

    The hypocrisy of wealthy pastors

    Amen……especially if one actually understands it. Psalms 1…..”Blessed is the man….who meditates day and night on his law”…….meditate is the key word….it says nothing about memorizing…..to meditate is the process that leads to digestion….that is what “our daily bread” is…..we are to meditate on...

    The hypocrisy of wealthy pastors

    As we can all see the word ‘interpret’ is not in that verse…..amusingly it seems you attempted to interpret it….to correctly ‘handle’(NIV) or ‘divide’(KJV) indicates to whom you share the word….

    chapter and verse….you said that the Bible says we must rightly interpret….

    The hypocrisy of wealthy pastors

    it is surprising that you entertain the possibility that Jesus could speak from His ego……

    Chapter and verse ? I think you are confusing interpretation with translation….

    The hypocrisy of wealthy pastors

    At least as long as you rely on a literal reading and understanding there is little chance that you will attempt to interpret scripture…..

    The hypocrisy of wealthy pastors

    Ego is the original sin….it separates us from both God and man. To interpret for a skeptic devolves into a battle of egos……harmful to all involved. The only truth that one trusts is the truth that they personally discover…it is called gnosis. “Speak softly but carry a big stick”……if there is...

    It is a fool’s errand to interpret Scripture for a skeptic and probably morally wrong IMO…..

    should churches face east?

    Knowledge comes from the east….re the Maji……IMO the KJV correctly states that man moved from the east(away from the east) to construct the Tower of Babel….so, yes, churches should orient themselves to the truth…..

    Atheists are smarter

    The evangelicals preach endlessly about lying, stealing, illicit sex and then can embrace Trump as their replacement savior ? How can this be ? They are in dire need of being born again….apparently the first time didn’t work…..

    Atheists are smarter

    If only it was that simple….there are very few born again Christians……but there are gigantic numbers of Pharisee ‘Christian’s’……puffing their chests, proud in their judgement of others(and by the way, other Christian denominations). The great Bible Belt of the US is evidence…..a stomping ground...
