    Beer: Evil Crutch, Or Godsend?

    I remember in 1980 when Iraq invaded Iran and the result was an interruption of the world oil supplies. Gasoline jumped from about $0.60/gal to over $1.30/gal. very quickly and there were shortages in many places. According to two different inflation calculators that I found, $1.30 per gallon in...

    Going Bananas !

    Whenever I visit a Chinese buffet, I make it a point to check the dessert case for bannanas in a strawberry sauce and top it with chocolate pudding. I also like to take ripe bananas and make banana bread with chocolate chips.

    Is the NIV dishonest?

    In your opening post, you said both the KJV and NIV use "tradition" in the negative statements and that they didn't in positive statements, which sounds like the opposite of the issue you are trying to make.

    Is the NIV dishonest?

    Tradition could imply something that is done because, "That's how we've always done it." Tradition could also mean the handing down of sound teaching from one generation to another. I could see a concern if the former definition is being implied but if the latter, which is how I believe it is...

    Is the NIV dishonest?

    Please explain what part of the verses you quoted that show inconsistency. For some reason, I am not seeing it. The NIV translations you quoted look to be saying the same as the KJV translations. Am I just blind? What am I missing?

    [__ Prayer __] Bible distribution

    Done. Are you doing this through The Gideons International, some other organized distribution, or just on your own? Just curious as I am a member of Gideons International and that is what we do. We also meet every Saturday morning and pray for all Gideons around the world.

    humorous and ironic observations

    Here's another one. In Minnesota, it is legal for a class c licensed driver to operate an 18-wheeler or other farm related truck on the highway without obtaining a class A CDL license. They are limited to 150 miles and are not allowed to cross state lines. I heard a lawyer's take on this once...

    humorous and ironic observations

    Here's one I have yet to be able to understand. Here in MN, at 13 years old you must have a valid firearms safety certificate to hunt small game and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. However, 12 year olds and under who are accompanied by a parent or guardian, are not require to have a...

    Why Is Bible Reading Amongst Americans Declining?

    I'm inclined that the 1st explanation is the most probable of the three. You mentioned how quickly the drop took place and how it coincided with the pandemic. That said, I'm thinking that church attendance also took a similar trend as churches closed during the pandemic and people haven't...

    Why are so many young adults and teenagers gay ?

    I think a lot of it seems to have become a trend. It seems every generation has some kind of, here's my age showing through, hip fad. When I was in high school it was bell bottoms, plaid, and long hair. Another trend I remember was wearing pants with the waistband down on the thighs. Now, it's...

    How to explain God

    It would no longer exist in the Christian perspective. By definition, faith is believing in something without any tangible proof. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 NKJV How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed...

    How does everyone see this?

    Tariffs are not income to individuals or businesses. Tariffs are assessed by governments. Here's basically how they work. To illustrate I'll use the auto industry. For as long as I can remember, it has always been less costly to purchase an imported Toyota than a domestic brand such as a Chevy...

    Is Matthew 24:34 grounds for skepticism?

    Okay, but then don't make this task even harder by continuing to post in violation of the Q&A forum rules. I will need some time to get this done and it will take even longer if I have to keep deleting posts that no longer apply to this thread.
