What’s better about it? Just curious.

I had the VOICE translation of Ephesians 4:29 put on a coffee mug. It has convicted me more than any other.

WWJD?

And given the great name Mr E.

Nice word play. :)

Does becoming aware of and pointing out how other are (or were) hostile and disparaging, make one hostile and disparaging?

As Yoda said, the Dark side is hard to see. It's true on many levels. And the Armor of God is our protection - and by contrast - being sensitive to what is it's opposite. Don't pray. That's a stupid prayer. Don't read the book. You're too stupid to properly understand it. The translation got...

I am saddened how people are focused on doing the least they can do to expand the Kingdom of God.

OK. Thought I’d take a break from heavy threads. We all love the Bible and the thread title is unfair. How can we limit it to one verse that is your favorite? Yet, that is the challenge. If you must, expand to OT & NT. I’d also like to know why that particular verse is your favorite? What is...

No. Saying you must read their preferred version to be saved, reading other translations are of the devil, etc. Read the early posts in this thread for details.

Oy vey! It does include that. People are called champ, president, governor, mom. I watched a movie last night. It starred the lead actor in Harry Potter. This is a fictional characters name and my wife knew who I was talking about even though she did not recognize the actor's name. There is a...

I know you want to label me a hypocrite. The annoying thing about hypocrites is that they are correct about YOU doing wrong. It seems like you want to have the last word. Why do you keep talking about it? The competitiveness is unbecoming. 1st, you want to demean Christian denominations by use...

We love our brother Mike. (Just kidding, @marks). He means well, although he struggles to be corrected on even small matters. I think we all know 'sons of God' is an expression referring to fallen angels. However, there is more than one sense of words OR in this case, more than one sense of the...

So reluctant are you to admit truth you did not have before the conversation began. I care what words mean. Post #239 says what needed to be said. Make a blessed day!

"A" name is not what we are talking about. We are not talking about name calling and claiming that is legitimate. We are talking about THE name of a person. By definition, there is only one. This is the purpose of the definite article, 'the.'

No. Untrue. People may have aliases but only have one name. The importance of one's name is throughout the Bible. Jacob renamed Israel, Simon, renamed Peter. And Adam naming all the animals. The importance of this was stated well by Buddha. The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their...

Again, change in subject. You will not find too many posts of me disparaging denominations. So indignant are you about forced to accept that Christianty is a cult, you are now engaging in the politics of personal destruction, attacking me personally. Anything to change the subejct.

Change in subject. When I identify Christians as a cult, I am going back to the definition - NOT attaching the negative connotation you do. Perhaps you are equating negative connotations initiate to reacting to it?

All this identity disorder stuff with sexuality is causing confusion. To be something IS to DO something. It is nonsense to say, "I am a hockey player" but I don't actually practice or play hockey." Same with anything else. The expression is appropriate, Come to Jesus. It requires a delta of...

I like their Fish Filet. That's about it.
