Well said. IMO, this is the problem with relying on literal translations. The Bible is highly figurative. See means know, etc.

Then if is not the words that is a sin but the intention/attitude

The commandment applies to prohibit perjury. There is nothing wrong with using the word ‘god’ in and of itself.

Why will you not say? Do you say what is in your heart's desire to God? Ask and you will receive, dear one.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you so much for this wonderful forum, where your children can come together in community to fellowship, to learn from one another and share life together. And Father, thank you so, so much for the blessing of @thelord's_pearl in this community. I always sense a...

Nice axe. A work of art.

Exactly wrong! All synonyms. Wine. Strong Drink. Booze. All mean alcoholic drinks.

Wine has no dual (contradictory) meaning. LOL

Appeal to Strawman. Wrong. Exactly wrong! In light of the Bible as a whole drinking alcohol is encouraged throughout. No one is even claiming license to become intoxicated is morally equivalent to drinking alcohol.

Wow! Few have advanced math as a hobby. Can you share some calcs?

Oh wow! How old is your memorabilia? When did the Viking period end?

Nice! What attracted you to Viking stuff; I’d that hereditary?

Myth. By definition, wine is an alcoholic beverage. The idea that the all knowing, all powerful Creator cannot figure out how to use words that differentiate between alcohol containing and not alcohol containing is not very honoring of YHWH.

I believe the generation in question is the one who say Israel reborn (The fig tree in the parable) in 1948. Further, I believe the second coming will be in September 2028. This would make the youngest to see Israel reborn 80 yearsold. How sweet it will be.

From the Hamas Charter: The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement In The Name Of The Most Merciful Allah. Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it Article 27: That is why, with all our appreciation for The...

Agreed. Life is messy. War is especially so. The Godfather said "don't let a crisis go to waste." And Nietsche said "be careful of pursuing the monster that you don't become the monster." The human experience is to always over compensate. The penduluum never stops right in the middle. But this...

This I agree with. That is with one caveat. It is not a zero sum game. As JFK said in his inaugural address, we will meet any burden, pay any price to safeguard liberty. Not just do one thing and we're done, liberty is safe for all time. I wish it were that way but it is not. That's why it's...
