    Did Jesus say that adultery is grounds for divorce? - Nope.

    Okay.... But the KJV is the Anglican Church's translation of the scriptures as commissioned and formed by King Henry VIII. (Definite bias there in favor of divorce and remarriage....doesn't mean that they are wrong but that they had an agenda) Also you left out some things. WHO Jesus was...

    Does it matter which version of the Bible you read?

    People's words do not often reflect their actions. You are no exception to that rule. You say one thing but do another. That's as common as soil. I'm not lecturing you. You might perceive that....but what I'm really trying to do is offer you an opportunity to back up your claims with...

    Does it matter which version of the Bible you read?

    That's opinion and not based in any facts using reality. If you happen to like the Anglican Church or Episcopalian Church doctrines that's just fine. I'm not here to throw stones at your church of choice. You have to answer for it and not me. I'm only giving the "Cliff Notes" version of...

    Did Jesus say that adultery is grounds for divorce? - Nope.

    How can a man remarry after divorce and commit adultery if polygamy is allowed? (He cant) Also....if a woman commits adultery she was regularly stoned to death. No reason to divorce a dead person. (John 8) Something is wrong with this logic. Maybe there's something wrong with the...

    Does it matter which version of the Bible you read?

    So....you want to use scissors on the history books as well as scriptures? I couldn't invent this history if I wanted to. I find it fascinating and interesting. Your hubris concerning it all is rather mundane and common...but the History of how God preserved his words and made them...

    Does it matter which version of the Bible you read?

    I never suggested that they were not sincere in their faith....I only suggested that they had an agenda for their particular denomination. Which is supported clearly by the scholar's other papers concerning doctrines. Some of which went on to do more translation work for the ESV...

    Does it matter which version of the Bible you read?

    Well, The 3 century old KJV was developed by Cambridge and Oxford University to promote the Anglican church and its doctrines. That's why all the additions and subtleties with that translation that aren't in more modern translations. The original 1611 being long since forgotten. The...

    Is “Easter” in the original Scriptures?

    The reason for my misspellings is because of too many languages running around in my head. Mostly koine Greek, early Latin, Aramaic, Hebrew, Slovak, French, Italian, Spanish and etc. Absolutely destroyed my ability to spell anything anymore. My head can't hold it all. Some of the most...

    Is “Easter” in the original Scriptures?

    Since you have no understanding.... It says a LOT about your relationship with God. Paul said something about those who say "do not touch. Do not taste" Obviously you use sicsors for theology. Just like you claim we do.

    Does it matter which version of the Bible you read?

    Episcopalian or Anglican Church member eh? That's literally the denominational bent of that translation. Especially when Cambridge and Oxford universities translated the popular translation still used today to help support their theologies and practices.

    Is “Easter” in the original Scriptures?

    The first word of the Lord's Prayer is "our"....as in speaking collectively for a group. Meaning worshipping, CELEBRATING, and of course praying together IN HARMONY with others IN HUMILITY is a mandate. I think you have forgotten about this key principle. If people don't join you in your...

There's a HUGE assortment for greens to make salad greens out of...red oak leaf (not the leaves from a red oak tree) which is comparable to a curly leaf lettuce but with red streaks and tips. They sometimes come out brown looking depending upon the...

    Pagan roots of Pizza

    Modern Pizza got its start here in America in two places at the same time. It was something they could bake quickly for construction men working on various construction projects in the neighborhoods in New York and in Chicago. The original "pizza" didn't have tomato sauce as that came...

    What have you cooked lately?

    Lettuce is a class of greens...not a variety in itself. There's iceberg, butterhead, frisee, arugula and many others.... I can't visually taste this stuff if you don't specify... Sorry....but I am in recovery for my former miss spent youth as a chef. Help a brother out will ya?

    Today: House Passes Bill to Force TikTok Sale From Chinese Owner or Ban the App

    TikToc is a clock reference. Giving someone a clock in Chinese culture is wishing them to die. Not very much good will in that. This has been discussed for a while now....it's a wonder how it's taken this long for congress to act. And I'm wondering exactly how they are going to actually...

    Does Montgomery, Alabama get tornadoes?

    Yes... Some places get more than others. "Tornado alleys" are a thing and really exist. Montgomery is not in one but that doesn't mean that they can't get one. Nashville wasn't supposed to be able to get one but they did. Jersey gets them too but usually they come in from the ocean during...
