    I need some advice

    Okay, The big thing is to NOT BE ANTISOCIAL. Sure, as Christians we are to be Holy which means "set apart for special use by God" BUT That doesn't mean we are to try and isolate ourselves either. We are God's witnesses for what He has done in our lives. People only know of God through...

    I need some advice

    He is Gen Z....he ain't gonna be like us or know people who did the things we did. Just saying...mullet haircut, beer in one hand and joint in the other and all at the age of 13....not his group.

    Give me 3 solid online Pastors to follow

    Ok... I got a question. Why? Why an "online" pastor or a televangelist? Christianity is NOT supposed to be practiced in such a fashion. You need prayer partners, those who really know you and how you live to form a community/family with. That can't happen with an online pastor.

    Pastoral Restoration Craze

    I'm not exactly sure where I stand on the issue. Some pastors behave so egregiously that I don't think that any discerning congregation members would have them be a pastor or that they could in fact pastor anyone. However, that's not to say that all have "fallen" so far that they couldn't...

    Thoughts on Halloween

    Jamie Lee Curtis was an icon....she could actually act. Of course directors could direct a well written play then too.

    Thoughts on Halloween

    Oh I love them too. I enjoy good ones....been a minute since I seen a good one. I loved the original Halloween. And who could forget Friday 13th? Jason and Michael always have rocked! Wish that someone could find that original formula for making movies again. Freddie was always a joke.

    Im new here. I need some help regarding 1 Corinth 11:14

    Timothy....women are to dress modestly and decently. The modest dress is not the same as decent. IOW do not come looking like a prostitute, a slob, or in a $10,000 dress. Paul says it. And he admonishes the men to do the same thing. I'm drawing a blank as to where at the moment.

    Are the moon landings fake?

    That is an encyclopedia set long post. I'm positive you won't read it either. That set of scriptures has a LOT of information and tells us a LOT. Where it's not a manual on "How to BUILD A UNIVERSE" it does relate to us about what our purpose is and what God's purpose for us is. Which...

    Are the moon landings fake?

    No I absolutely believe what scriptures say. I also understand what it says in Hebrew and what the intent of the author had when he wrote it. (Moses) So....there's that.

    Religious Tithing

    The same places as Deuteronomy recommends. The church, the clergy, the poor, mission projects, and widows and orphans. Although that covenant is over these people still need money.

    Im new here. I need some help regarding 1 Corinth 11:14

    World standards of pleasant looks are not "of the world" in the slightest sense. If a guy looks good with longer than standard hair and wants to grow it out that way....that's his business. I got nothing to say about it. Lots of guys have shoulder length or longer hair. I really don't...

    The word of God is not a secret code that needs unlocked.

    Between: Cognitive Biases Cognitive dissonance Reading comprehension difficulties Language/translation difficulties heavy Metaphoric language use Literary license with requisite anthropology knowledge Ancient Near East literature style Scripture is somewhat deceptive at times. Things aren't...

    I Have an Embarrassing Amount of ____________________________________________! (We Won't Judge -- or Will We?!)

    Flour. Bread flour....I'm down to 70 lbs so I'll pick up a 50lb bag today All purpose flour. I'm down to just 10 lbs in a bag so I'll definitely pick up a bag or two of that today too. (Christmas is coming) Semolina flour. I'm down to 35 lbs. But it will hold for a bit. At least till...
