Instead of focusing on how misguided that link was (not to mention blasphemous), I'll focus on the positives. ... ... Well, I agreed with one thing, I think. That's good, right? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Sound words of wisdom there. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

To clarify, I do not advocate theistic evolution. I believe in a literal six day creation. And I believe that there was no human death before the fall. But I believe that animal death was normal. I believe that plant death was also normal. At the very least, we know that constantly walking the...

I have a hard time believing that there was absolutely no death before the fall. I'm sure Adam accidentally stepped on an insect a time or two. Or an animal slipped next to a cliff. Or an insect got trapped in the sap of a tree. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I am not for government funded healthcare as a general rule. But I have to speak out on the VA healthcare. People love to bring that up. But how many on this board have had a bad experience with the VA? Personally, I've been in the VA system in three different states. Each one was excellent...

Don Knotts had a unique humor. I want a fan of Barney Fife so much as the characters he did in "Ghost and Mr Chicken", "Apple Dumpling Gang" and "Shakiest Gun in the West". Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) has another character, Johnny English, that is just as hilarious as Mr Bean. This character is...

Jerry Lewis was hilarious. He got even better after breaking away from Dean Martin, but lost his touch on his later years it seems, as his last one or two movies weren't that funny. The duo of Abbott and Costello was another good comedy team. I'm sure everyone in this board could recite "Who's...

That was hilarious. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

As TC pointed out, I was speaking of only that verse. I grew up KJVO, and have only attended churches that were KJVO. However, while my position (and that of the churches I attend) has not changed, the connotation of KJVO has changed over the years (thanks to Ruckmanites). By the current usage...

This isn't true anymore. The Marines have their own medics. Or so I was told by a Marine last year. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Personally, when I was learning to love to read, my dad handed me several books. Some fiction, some non fiction. He gave me a 3x5 card as a book mark, and told me to write down the page number and any words I didn't understand, and he'd explain them to me when he hit the chance. The system...

I'm not sure how much more clear I can be on this. Look at the Greek. The KJV seems to correctly translate it, while the NIV adds words to fit into it human understanding. You can give me all kinds of reasons why the KJV is wrong. But each time I will simply pint you to the fact that the KJV...

This is not a question for me, but for the original authors of the Greek. They made the claim, not me. I am simply pointing out how "the more accurate reading" seems to actually be "changing it to what I think rather than what was written". Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

My issue is that I fail to see how the "more accurate reading" is the one that strays from the Greek more. I'm no KJV apologist or a Greek scholar, but a cursory reading of the Greek there seems to say that the KJV translated it as what it actually said, but the NIV translated it within the...

I was going to offer "The Trumpeters". Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I know that this will be an unpopular view, but my opinion is that bankruptcy is flat out stealing. Legalized, yes. But stealing nonetheless. And so it follows for me that a man who declares bankruptcy should not be a treasurer. However, this is not a permanent disqualification in my eyes. If...

I would ask him if he were under the authority of the police. Or a judge. Or the president. Or his boss at work. Or any man made law. I would go on, but I think the point is made. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Criminal is not elastic. If you break the law, you are a criminal. It doesn't matter how petty you think the law is. If you speed, you are a criminal. If you steal, you are a criminal. If you drive drunk or don't report income, you are a criminal. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I want going to say anything, but yes, I laughed! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I will grant you that they aren't proven to exist. But the observation of gravity waves in 2015(?) was made possible by the collision and merging of two bodies presumed to be black holes, and the waves acted as predicted if two black holes were to merge. For me, I believe the evidence for the...
