Three paragraphs lifted from that 2021 Psychology Textbook - GENETIC INFLUENCES Studies indicate that “about a third of variation in sexual ori entation is attributable to genetic influences” (Bailey et al., 2016). A same-sex orientation does tend to run in families. And identical twins are...

You would do well to educate yourself on the topic, so you can avoid exposing your ignorance of sexual orientation: https://pub-fb5027e0bdfb4fc4ab71242ed2116543.r2.dev/uploads/sexualorientation.pdf

I'm no scholar on Textual Criticism, nor do I care about the arguments on the WH, or the TR versus the NA28. I examine the arguments made by the scholars on various readings. For example, I have Bruce M. Metzger's A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, 2nd Ed. 1994. I can read his...

The King James Version(or RV/ASV) is best translation for the true Christian who is gay Current definitions from The American Heritage Dictionary of English 5th Ed 2022: "sod·om·y (sŏdə-mē) n. Any of various forms of sexual acts regarded as perverted, especially anal intercourse, oral-anal...

I used to think this was just Roman Catholic propaganda. But.... https://www.historyisnowmagazine.com/blog/2021/3/14/james-vijames-is-love-life-the-british-king-whose-lovers-were-men https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_relationships_of_James_VI_and_I

It would appear that the modern, evangelical translations that incorrectly insert "homosexual" or "homosexuality" into the NT, and those who constantly quote them, are the ones obsessed. The men who loved men, who grew up on the KJV or RV, just did not know they were sinning? It is funny that...

Your phrase "the appeal of homo life" reveals your ignorance of homosexual orientation, to refer to it as something "appealing" is to say it is a choice, which is utter nonsense. Merriam-Webster "homo, noun - slang, offensive : a gay person —used as a term of abuse and disparagement" "homo...

I find the phrase "big themselves up" to be a value judgment from your own personal bias. A statement online I find describes how I see this matter is: "A pastor’s vestments are like a uniform that he wears when he is performing his duties." Personally, I do not care about clerical clothing...

The phrase you wrote "gall of bitterness" really is an accurate description!

Ron, let me explain my approach to the translations. For the most accurate, word for word translation, with the least bias, the RV and ASV are my choice and I actually prefer the translation "LORD" in the RV, over "Jehovah" in the ASV. I'm not sure how certain "Yahweh" is as to the correct...

We are going through Revelation in our home studies now. The closest commentary to the explicit statements of Revelation I find in the commentary by D. S. Clark... we are reading it from: https://archive.org/details/messagefrompatmo00clar/page/106/mode/2up

What do you mean by "unmodified"? Do you see a problem with the translation difference in the following? And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Rev 13:8 KJV) and all who dwell on...

Is you reference to Romans 8 something like the "Second Blessing" or such? I take it Paul wrote the entire epistle to the Romans at one sitting. You think Paul wrote his letter a piece at a time, at different time periods?

I believe your idea of "big themselves up" says more about you than the office of Pastor. In the early church, they raised dead back to life, is that bigging oneself up?

I have come to using the NRSVue quite often, though at times I disagree or prefer the Marginal Note over the main translation. Is it okay to do the following: 2Th 2:13 NRSVue But we must always give thanks to God for you, [brethren] beloved by the Lord, because God chose you [from the...

You are mixing sanctification with justification. And as to sanctification, that is never perfect in a person until the last day: 1Th 5:23-24 LITV And may the God of peace Himself fully sanctify you, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus...

Since you wrote "Pastors", and I take it, that was the specific question. In years past, even some Baptist Pastors wore a robe type clerical clothing, showing respect befitting the office to which they were supposedly called. When I see such disrespect in dress, in the Pulpit, I question their...

I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the Lord, who does all these things. (Isa. 45:7) The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he wills. (Prov. 21:1) Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases. (Ps...

He is totally ignorant about the orthodox faith coming out of the Protestant Reformation, and equally ignorant of the consistent teachings of God's word. He cannot seriously discuss the biblical passages themselves, so he merely makes inane statements manifesting his personal feelings.

Joh 10:27-30 NRSVue My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, in regard to what he has given me, is greater than all, and no one can snatch them out of the Father’s...
