    What is your preferred Bible translation?

    I usually use Bible Study software to read/study the Bible. For personal devotion I usually use either the Lamsa Translation or the New Jerusalem Bible, or the NRSVA. I don't really like the NRSVA, but it is the only translation that my Bible Study Software has, that contains the...

    Why is this taught in your churches?

    From a strictly statistical point of view, both evolution and creation by God are equally unlikely. As far as the respective timelines go, physics is showing the universe to be far more bizarre than anybody ever imagined it to be. Both evolution and creation are extraordinary claims that...

    E-Sword & Ubuntu?

    Using e-Sword-installer_101010, it was very easy to get e-Sword 9.7.2 running on Xubuntu 10.10. The hardest part was remembering how to edit the registry for single line tabs. e-Sword-installer_101010 is maintained by the Ubuntu Christian Edition development team. There is not a version of...
