Pan, I've done a web search using several AI search engines. The idea of some of the Genesis creation account are in ancient Chinese characters, is controversial and it seems most secular scholars disagree with that idea. My Chinese friend is a more recent convert to the faith of Jesus Christ...

I do not know how you checked. I did not ask my Chinese friend about that specific article I posted, but in the past I've shown him similar articles showing the ancient Chinese characters claiming to mirror the Genesis creation account, and he said they were correct. Since my friend is...

There is also an interesting article discussing whether China is mentioned in Isaiah 49:12 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinim

Behold, praise the Lord we actually seem to agree on something. A usage alert for those who like me have often used the term "doggone". I looked it up in a couple of dictionaries to see if it was one word or two. I was SHOCKED to see what it means! :)

This reply is admittedly off topic, but I see no alternative. I find my OP contrasting Racism with Ethnocentrism was deleted as being horribly offensive. The writings of the Apostle Paul must be offensive as well, as I had quoted in that OP, Titus 1:12-13 and 1 Cor. 15:33. Though this thread...

While there is ongoing debate and research on the origins of homosexual orientation, several studies suggest that there may be a biological component to sexual orientation. Twin studies and genetic studies have provided some evidence for a genetic link, but more research is needed to fully...

It may surprise most on here, but the following I find to be revolting, disgusting and clearly sinful. Pete Buttigieg on Fatherhood - When it comes to handling a pair of toddlers, Pete Buttigieg, the unflappable Secretary of Transportation, may appear a little jet-lagged. Pete and his husband...

Steven, this is a good OP. As to your questions, by number - 1- Yes 2- Yes 3- Yes 4- Yes 5- Sadly, NO 6- Nothing constructive! 7- As you are doing, post edifying articles to the best of my ability as God guides I would add something to your statement on Sexual Orientation. Enduring Attraction...

How do you understand the idea of deconstruction? How do you define that idea? Do you actually believe "Jesus refers to the law as hearsay"? Is that deconstructionism to you? I've noticed many write the words "deconstructionism" and "existentialism", and it sounds erudite, but do they even...

For the edification of those willing, and striving for objectivity, here is a close look at Rom. 1:26, 27 with an English translation of today, along with the English dictionary definitions of today. It is glaringly obvious that no gay-bashers here can explain the passage. (Rom 1:26-27 NRSVue...

Just where did you come up with "his community"? Are you saying I must be gay or in the LGBTQ+ crowd, to stay strictly with what the scriptures explicitly state, and what the body of Christ believed in the past? That is the type of argument that is made when one cannot deal with the actual...

First, there is a difference between the political agenda of the LGBTQ activists, and the Christian man sitting in the pew who privately and discreetly is gay, and in a relationship, not marriage. The conservative Christian man in the pew is highly unlikely to support the so-called "Gay Agenda"...

From the Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, Third Edition, 2017 by Baker - There are listed 5 causes of homosexuality in their article. It is not online, so I've attached a picture of those 5 causes. Notice the cause #4

Since you claim to have studied the origin of homosexuals, I want to see the credible scientific study that shows those of homosexual orientation were recruited! Give us the studies that show homosexual orientation results from being recruited. That is just one of those nasty, hate-filled...

Too many wish to condemn men who are by nature "gay", and like to talk about "flesh joining flesh", or as Jesus said - Mat 19:5 NRSVAue "and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?" "flesh = sarx" Keep in...

You can add a verse from the NT also, that shows using "that" when referring to a distant generation - Heb 3:10 NRSVAue "...for forty years. Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘They always go astray in their hearts, and they have not known my ways.’" It seems weird to say...

Texbow, I am a partial-preterist and believe all of the NT books were written prior to 70 AD, including Revelation. For those interested in a historian's look at the years 66-70 AD and the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem, I suggest the following - The Cable channel "Britbox" has an...

Clouds - Isa 19:1 NRSVAue "An oracle concerning Egypt. See, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and comes to Egypt; the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them." Nah 1:3 NRSVAue "The LORD is slow to anger but great in power, and the...

I admit, I enjoy good Bourbon, having an Old Foresester 100 Bourbon tonight. Michiah, I also consider the verse you quote. In a like spirit, I consider: "It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy brother stumbleth." (Rom 14:21 ERV) To me the question...
