I’m not embarrassed at all about my collections… though I would only admit to being a collector of toy cars. The rest are better termed “accumulations”. Tools. I buy them when they go on sale (or at garage sales) and have them later when I (or the neighbours) need them. I do need to build more...

Since there is no mention of a restriction on length of men’s hair other than Paul’s words, you have no argument. Homosexuality is an expression of the fallen nature of humans. Hair length is not. To the latter, no, it does not. There’s no connection as Romans 1 has nothing to do with the...

Streeeeeeetch…. Um, no.

I have participated in several such groups over the decades. Typically we read and discuss a passage of Scripture, share some food, and pray together. Some groups add singing. Most include simple unguided fellowship.

Welcome to CC.

Exactly. From what I’ve seen, Catholics are indoctrinated with so much falsehood that they are essentially brainwashed away from the true gospel. They instead believe a false religion and reject the very thing that can open their eyes.

To your first question, Samson. His whole life story demonstrates that length of hair is a non-issue. If God were really that concerned, He could have designed male hair to stop growing at the prescribed length. To your second, yes. I doubt you are blind, but I suspect you have not considered...

While your statement is technically true, it is a rather slanted perspective and certainly not the only possible view.

Does "nature" teach you that long hair on a man is improper? I doubt it. You might believe that, but most likely because Paul's words are recorded in Scripture. It's a cultural argument. Try asking an indigenous American whether "nature itself" teaches that long hair on a man is improper. He'll...

Your tone is dismissive, which tells me that you really aren’t interested in discussion at all, but rather only in “selling” your preferred translation. Nebuchadnezzar would not have known that the fourth person was Jesus. He would have said something like, “a son of the gods” and not “the Son...

I witnessed firsthand the destructive power of withholding forgiveness in a relationship. It’s a slow progression of resentment, mistrust, bitterness, and eventually hatred. Obviously, I don’t recommend it. While we cannot force another person to forgive us, we should be concerned if we have...

Like I already said, God did not download modern scientific information to His writers. They wrote from within the cultural and informational context in which they lived. There was no implication; I said exactly what I meant to say.

You have dozens of words nuancing your understanding of “inerrant”. I don’t agree with your version of it. You can assume it means I don’t believe in inerrancy, but that would be foolish on your part. I did not make any claim; I merely said “no” to your verbose definition. You made your own...

I wasn't arguing that Paul misspoke. I suggest you read my post again. #42, for your reference.

You want to argue about the infallibility of God's word, but can't refer to the Holy Spirit correctly? You choose your hills, I'll choose mine. I have no need to prove what I have not claimed. Do you really think that a single comment represents what is of utmost importance to me? Try again...

I wrote exactly what I intended to write, and implied nothing else.

Once again, but with a complete, coherent sentence this time?

Um… I did already. 🤔

In Whom, not in which. ;) God did not download extensive and accurate scientific knowledge centuries before it was discovered. God used the people where and when they were.

Nice thought, but try reading the evidence instead of quickly dismissing it.
