Why? Because you say so?

The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that if two human beings of adult age present themselves as petitioners for marriage together, denying them a marriage license is, in fact, denying each of the two petitioners, individually, their right to due process of law. Same-sex marriage...

No, they did not. Have you read the decision?

Although it is not without flaw or bias, a comprehensive defense of the reliability of the KJV is "Our Authorized Bible Vindicated" by Benjamin Wilkinson, freely available for download here: Our Authorized Bible Vindicated - Benjamin Wilkinson

Modern = Good, then? I don't think so. Modern scholars run the gamut of fidelity to God's ability to preserve His word. Some of the most popular modern Biblical "scholars" are practically skeptics.

By what authority? Just asking.

Unless there are older lost manuscripts that also contain more material.

Pretty sure the NKJV omits phrases, verses, too, compared to KJV. The truth by-and-large can be gleaned from small portions of Scripture. Waldensians or Albigenses (I can't remember which) constantly smuggled pages of Scripture sewed inside their garments at their life's peril before the...

Perhaps "pin down" was the wrong term to use. Maybe "put you on the spot?" WADR, I'll just say it. You're pretty esoteric, Dude. I caught wind of this in a post by Amadeus. But you seem like more of a seeker than the average person who is less than easy to understand. I find it terribly...

Sorry didn't mean to offend

I know it's impossible to pin you down and, believe it or not, I'm not really trying to but I think your (to coin a term) "position" is that the Bible contradicts itself a lot and so professors are misguided, no? So do you see a place somewhere in Scripture as disputing what is claimed in John...

I can't say I disagree very much, for what it's worth. As much as I detest the idea of same-sex intimacy, I don't think these unfortunate people should have to live lives of misery any more than is absolutely necessary (whatever that means).

In the past this has actually been necessary, and many factors play into this question. The budgets of the mission sponsors, the population boom, etc. Today more international translations are available and are getting less and less expensive to print. Progress is being made. It has been...

I haven't read the entire thread so I don't know if this has come up or not, but I personally read what seemed like the pertinent parts of the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, and in the end it wasn't about gay rights at all (so it was claimed), but the fact that denying two individuals the right...

John 10:28 is indeed a precious promise. And in another place He expresses just how anxious He is to commune with us: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20) So we see...

hi there!

Hypotheticals are not always helpful. Who puts statues in public areas for the purpose of worship? People have to pick their battles. Is this a thread about same-sex marriage or statues?

The issue is what we call "marriage", not approval.

Do you believe secularism is neutral ground in the battle between the forces of good and evil?
