I keep forgetting the second "t".... But what resource are you using? Not all resources sold or given away for free are viable. Especially ones that are retail focused, denomination focused and not scholar focused. There is literally a complete library of research on Sepphoris because it...

When the Bible was first translated into English the Latin word Tekkon was translated as carpenter because it was general construction labor in that neighborhood. Stone masonry was a high skill trade. However the construction projects by Rome around Nazareth in Sepphoris was actually...

What if human rights were removed from a specific group based upon racial, physical, or religious values? Would that be an atrocity that would cause you to take up their cause? If we all of a sudden said that Methodists and those of German descent were not human anymore. Perfectly acceptable...

Gen z is definitely a disaster waiting to happen. We had boomers who are all retired and been retired. The youngest is what 64 now? Then comes the Gen X crowd. All had two parent incomes and left to their own devices way too much and parents who were former hippies so what little...

Well all but the last one I'll agree with. Stop is relative....it never will stop completely. We are still having the original influenza from WW1 break out in locations. So popular opinion is a bust....that's the focus of this thread. These may be popularly believed....but not true...

Thinking caps are going to be required for this discussion. What popular opinions are different from verified facts? Let's give an example: Many people have an opinion that Jesus was a carpenter. However archeology and history both prove that a construction worker in the places that...

Well....it was the late 1400's to early 1500's. It's not like it couldn't be said both ways. It might have been. Especially if the four letters in acronym form were used. People forget...have fuzzy memories. Either way....it's still not great to be so foul mouthed to be offensive to...

Well the "F" bomb is of British and somewhat Catholic origin. During Henry VIII reign and subsequently after Bloody Mary Elizabeth's reign the Government was in charge of marriage ceremonies. Because the Catholic devoted priests and monks refused to do anything....plus they were tossed out...

Oh we need live births like yesterday. Just to replace the old people who die every year we need 2.1 live births per woman. That's just for static population. But our government and retirement programs rely upon a tax base of a growing population....at a minimum of 2.6-3. We currently...

I've seen several pieces on Constantine... He loved the Sun Worshipping orgies.... And he was baptized shortly before he died so he wouldn't sin afterwards.

From GPS data there are over 70,000 ANTIFA supporters in Chicago now....these are people who engage in Pro Palestinian protests. Chicago is going to be a mess on Tuesday.

There are rumors floating... There might be another coup at the DNC on Teusday....like the one done to Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and etc. Do not believe in the unity of people who promote moral turpitude. It's a false assumption.

Ummmm Not trying to brag but I am a formally trained and experienced professional fine dining chef. Musta missed that point along the way. But the point I was trying to make is that where many wives can cook proficiently they ain't me. Nor is every meal going to be a gourmet dining...

I'm expecting a Democrat Party Troll to show up any moment in this thread... They have been visiting literally EVERY forum to promote Kamala.

The Church controlled who could and could not learn to read or write. Until the advent of the printing press. Which gave rise to anyone interested in learning to read or write they could now do so using the family Bible. (And most families had one) The Renaissance and bubonic plague had a...

Not what I intended with my reply. What's wrong with you that you accuse everyone of evil? The hand holding only goes as far as learning to accurately read the truncated and compact style of writing and where to go to find accurate resources in order to obtain an originalist viewpoint of...

Ok... Because you do know... Can you please explain the use of a Rosary? I've heard about these things but never their significance or purpose. People act like everyone knows but I literally do not know.
