    Is it ok for a man to pray while wearing a head covering? Paul told the Corinthians it was NOT ok.

    1 Corinthians 11:4 English Standard Version 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,

    I'm starting to think that the YLT translation is the only one to read

    I believe the traditional English Bibles have been so badly translated that they actually teach false doctrine. Take Hebrews 1:1-2, for example. Hebrews 1:1-2 ESV vs. YLT ESV Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he...

    I've learned that message boards that permit free expression are extraordinarily RARE

    In my view, it's cowardly to restrict speech short and I'm not talking about threats of violence, pornography, or instructions on how to build a pipe bomb. I'm talking about expressing views that others dislike or that may actually be offensive. I've been participating in message boards for a...

    Why did Jesus have to leave in order for the Holy Spirit to come?

    What do you believe is the fate of elite, evil, Christians?

    Let's say that there is an American president that claims to be a believer in Christ but demonstrates by his fruits that he does not do the will of Jesus. Let's say that this president has made a career in "public service" and has been taking bribes for decades. And let's say that this...

    Finding fellowship with fellow Christians is not always easy

    Whether it be a physical church congregation, a message board like this or even among one's own family, it's not always easy to find quality, Christian, fellowship. I think the biggest obstacle is the PRIDE of some Christians. It gets in the way of having true fellowship with their fellow...

    I have difficulty believing that souls will be damned to the Lake of Fire

    I'm confident that even Hitler, Stalin, and Mao loved someone. Based on the verse below, is it possible that they are not and will not be destroyed? 1 John 4:7 ESV Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

    British woman arrested for quietly standing on public sidewalk

    She was near an abortion clinic and the police asked her if she was protesting or praying, which is apparently prohibited there. Twitter erupts over clip of UK woman arrested for silently praying across from abortion clinic: 'Terrifying'...

    Do you know of any documentation on the very first Christian churches founded by the apostles?

    First, please accept my apology if my question should be posted in another sub-forum. The Bible tells us of some of the congregations that Paul started, based on his letters to them. It's my understanding that Peter started a congregation in Rome that, I understand further, eventually became...
