    When a church tries to take the name Baptist out

    I was going to say, sounds normal. Then I saw the address. babylonbee. The real question is why the Babylonbee would pen that article? Not trying to say anything. I really don't know.

    Should Males be allowed to wear earrings

    The military needs that rule for a purpose. The purpose is both uniformity of the unit and safety. At a time women were not given the most dangerous assignments so that is likely the reason for the discrepancy. In my opinion, this rule should still be outcome based. Men and women in like...

    Turmeric

    I know it is one of the main ingredients in common yellow mustard and it is often used instead of saffron in yellow rice. Other than that, I don't know of anything I use it for. It is a good nutrient though.

    Description and cause of lukewarm assembly?

    In my opinion there are two main types of Churches on TV and the Radio today. First type are those that preach by starting with the Scripture and clarifying their message by adding thoughts from their own lives and lastly from "common since." The other type are those that preach the wisdom...

    Description and cause of lukewarm assembly?

    The actual truth? The average Baptist Church of today gains members through the children's programs. There are very few adult converts. Most new baptisms of adults are adults coming from Churches that don't baptize after conversion.

    Should Christians Pray for the Lost?

    Scarlett, my statement does not in any way contradict anything in your post. I am just saying that we should pray for the lost if for no other reason than it is a fact that we don't know who God will call in the future. Our part is to pray for all. Sent from my SM-G930R7 using Tapatalk

    Should Christians Pray for the Lost?

    On the other post, the member who said not to pray for the lost supported their position by quoting Jesus where He prayed I pray for those you gave Me, not the world. . . Yes, Jesus can pray that, He knows who the Father called. Not one of us Christians still on earth do. Sent from my...

    Arkansas ranks in top 10 of slowest increase of COVID-19 cases, CDC report shows

    Is your figure 32.9 per 100,000 hospitalizations? The figure my state publishes are "tested positives." Sent from my SM-G930R7 using Tapatalk

    Arkansas ranks in top 10 of slowest increase of COVID-19 cases, CDC report shows

    In my state we had three major mobile testing sites. On the map all the areas with a high incidence of cases were in the immediate areas around those testing sites. In my opinion, that skews the results. One one hand, the sites are placed near the larger population centers but on the other...

    If it were up to you ...

    I cringe at this question. I so want to say yes, allow them to open. But, my experience with the grocery stores leads me to use caution in that case. I was in a grocery store today. The government recommends everyone wear a mask and gloves. About half the people were making an attempt to...

    If it were up to you ...

    I would not lift them per se but I would tweak them. Allow people to go back to their jobs on a voluntary basis, but still maintain separation as much as practical. For those at risk maintain the restrictions but for the young and healthy, let them go back to work. Just be ready to test them...

    how conservative or liberal are you

    85% Conservative and 15% liberal. It said 50/50 on ethics. I did not answer many of the ethics questions because both answers were simply wrong. Because of that, I don't trust that 50/50. Horribly structured poll. Almost all of the questions were leading questions. Because of that, I...

    How Many here Like Gender inclusive translations?

    Not necessarily. Let me explain it this way. If you know anything about the nuances of Southern (USA) English, you would realize that if a Southerner referred to a Coke, they could be referring to an actual Coca-Cola, a Pepsi, a Rootbeer, or even a Sprite. So, if a translator, translated the...

    How Many here Like Gender inclusive translations?

    The way I am considering it can be shown using 1 Corinthians 2:1 1 Cor. 2:1 KJV "2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God." 1 Cor. 2:1 NIV "2 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you...

    How Many here Like Gender inclusive translations?

    The English translation should be as close to the original source as is practical. If the source is masculine the translation should be masculine. In the places where everyone agrees that the masculine represents both sexes then say so in bracketed text. Don't change the actual language...

    Non-Christians in Heaven?

    Hebrews Chapter 11 answers that question. It lists Old Testament "saints" and states that they were counted as righteous by their Faith. What did they have faith in? The revealed Word of God. The earliest fathers of our Faith had a very limited revelation of the Word of God, but their faith...

    The problem with determining the cause of diabetes is that there are more types and causes of diabetes than just Type 1 and Type 2. The worse types are of course type 1 and some of the type 2 diabetes where cells in the pancreas that produce insulin are destroyed. But there are also conditions...

    That is probably the second most common symptom of high blood glucose. Many people who have undiagnosed diabetes have occasional blurry vision and have no idea what the cause is because our media is doing a poor job job spreading information that is truly needed.

    Feedback on my college English paper concerning faith!

    I know this will sound harsh, but you jump from subject to subject in such a way, I had no idea what you are trying to say. For instance, why are you bringing up slavery? What you say about slavery simply says to me you don't know a lot of the nuances of the subject. For instance, it was...

    The cause of your blood sugar possibly going too low is due to the medications they are likely to eventually put you on. If you are ever placed on Insulin injections, that is a very real problem. One has to match the carbohydrates they consume to the amount of insulin they take, and there are...
