    Question on 1 John chapter 1

    Yes: "If we confess our sins" is better read if we keep on confessing our present sins (cp. Robertson, Word Pictures in the NT). "The fact that God has removed the penalty for our sins at conversion (1 Cor. 6:11; Eph. 1:7; 4:32; Col. 2:13) does not remove the necessity of confessing our sins...

    Bible type search

    I recommend comparing the texts of a variety of English language Bible versions (many versions are online) to see how different translators rendered the Greek wording into English, then draw your own conclusion regarding the best way for you to interpret a Bible passage.

    Mark 14:51

    Regarding Mark 14:51-52: Also, none of the church fathers commented on that incident. And there is no extant manuscript evidence dated prior to the compiling of the great Catholic codices that supports the appearance of 14:51-52 in Mark's Gospel.

    "Debunking the ‘Virgin Birth’ Myth"

    Nor should one disbelieve information seen via online NEWS sources that might contradict/disagree with their preferred religious beliefs. Moreover, The Daily Beast isn't "some random website," and is a frequent cited resource for some major TV NEWS organizations (FOX, CNN, and the like).

    ...go, and sin no more

    Pope Callistus (d. 223 CE, perhaps commenting on what he read in manuscript P66 or P75), wrote: I'm not Catholic but, as I understand that Bible story, Jesus didn't tell that woman caught in adultery to μη μοιχευσης (not commit adultery)...
