It is not a matter of twisting....it is not their fault....there are large number of scriptures that describe it as flat on a foundation and it did not move. It was the belief of the time period....there is no one talking about a global shaped earth that orbited around the sun.

The point is the Jews and Christians and Pagans of the time period thought the world was flat. Ever heard of Galileo's struggle with the church over the world being flat. They were so offended that they imprisoned him for a while, thinking that the Bible backed them up.

I say go to the scriptures, God has not indorsed any Bible. As far as the believing the earth was flat.....round can be flat, the earth is shaped as a globe. Why did the Jews and Christians believe that the world was flat and the sun and moon and stars moved around it? Why did they believe...

Playing sports or liking sports does not make anybody "worldly" Sports were very popular during the biblical era and Christ nor the Apostles spoke against it.... This is how false beliefs get promulgated, men have an opinions and try to impose it on and above the Word of God. Holidays? It is a...

Always good to keep things in perspective…. @Bible Highlighter and I just had a conversation and I want to make it clear that I am certain that he is a good and intelligent guy. He is standing with the majority that have been victims of deceit. No matter what, religion can attract...

Even the faulty translation does not use the word wed.

Mostly agree but still not a sin that comes with a pop up timer. And then there is intent.....if I love a woman she is going to have diamonds.....because I want it. but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 1st Corinthians 11:15 Not too...

Who put lied to them and put it in their head that it was wrong....and it is not poison. Wrong again. Today there are documented health benefits from drinking wine and beer and that is more than one benefit. In ancient times there were even more benefits. Cultures that drank wine had fewer...

Ok, if you want me to educate you on the history of wine open a thread and we will go at it. The point here is that drinking is not a sin. They have turned the Christian places of worship into addicts anonymous. The religion caters to the people that have those problems....So they make...

There is no doubt that that the wise warn of drinking to excess in the context of a drinking culture. But the Bible does not define drinking as a sin. And I have already went over the connections between wine and Christianity.

And you think you understand wine and it various uses in this time period....I don't think so.

Any of these substances listed here is a matter of choice, nothing to do with the Bible or religion. Restrictions of gaming do not occur in the Bible. Alcohol, specifically wine has been part of Christianity from the start....ritual....symbolisms....parables. Up until recently the Catholic...

Man wrote the scriptures....no translation can completely agree. Best to go back to the source. You are getting off topic. bottom line sex is not sinful.....God made everything from attraction, desire, to uniting.....not the devil. There in no requirement for a wedding ceremony in the...

The problem is that my religion is based on the Bible and that shocks people. I don't care what people think. My religion is not based on what people think. That is wrong.....I agree with the scriptures.....I don't think the world is flat..... God inspired the scriptures and far as who wrote...

You are right. It does not matter whether you or right or I am right....what does the scriptures say. Go find the sins that actually in the Bible. You see this is what people say when they want to make up things. It does not have to be in the scriptures you just have to imagine it. First you...

I am not liberal, that is why I do not put with these lies. Fake words of God. And I do agree with the scriptures, just not men that lie about the Word of God. Why does it seem so strange to you that a religion should have true beliefs....not something that men have made up? If we are not...

You are asserting a lot that is not in the scriptures. And the laws of the land include a common law marriage. You are going along with all the men through history that had their own beliefs and wanted to conform Christianity with false theological words and false doctrines. I am not saying you...

Again all you have to do is find a biblical requirement for wedding ceremonies.....and you cannot. And the woman at the well my not have been faithful to any one man. And the translations have problems, particularly the King James Version. I say look at the scriptures in their languages. Why are...

Truth trumps false beliefs......people can look all of this up on their own. Can you find a discussion in the scriptures about smoking....tobacco? I chew tobacco. LOL You have to have sex to be married....so there is no sex before marriage. It occurs at the same time. Even today, if you have...

@Bible Highlighter Actual biblical sins are documented in the Scriptures.....for Christians in the New Testament. For example you mention tobacco being a sin and of course you know that the word tobacco does not appear in the scriptures so it is impossible for the scripture to indicate that...
