I wouldn't, because I wouldn't purchase Halal meat... period. If I were to invite a Moslem to my home for a meal, I'd offer something that didn't involve meat.

Here in the middle of freaking nowhere, Canada, we survived over a week of expletive-cold, with ambient temperatures around -40 and wind chill in the -50 range. It’s back up to -10 or so, and on a warming trend, which should make it easier to find those other two fingers that fell off.

I appreciate the compliment.

“Textual Criticism” has no beliefs because it is not a person. Only persons have beliefs.

Yes, that Dr. Smith. I would encourage you to learn from him rather than second-hand from me. :)

Parents (of children, not of adults) and congregational elders are also responsible to do so.

Alcohol is not forbidden by Scripture. Knowingly supporting a false religion is.

English is not his first language. You might want to check that before criticizing someone’s writing skills. I’ve made that mistake before. ;)

Quit yer whining. Did YOU correct him? If not, you have no moral basis to complain.

You’re sick of the truth? That’s a tough place to be.
