    Which Canon is Right? With Michael Kruger

    The official OT for the Eastern Orthodox Church is the LXX. The Septuagint and the Masoretic Text in the Orthodox Church(es) While all of the canonical books of the Old Testament are written in Hebrew, the basis of the Old Testament text in the Orthodox tradition is the Septuagint [...] The...

    Who Created Bible Canon?

    Sigh... it is NOT that simple. There are a number of local synods and individual fathers that wrote lists that were approved to be read publicly.

    Who Created Bible Canon?

    There is somewhat of an unlisted ranking of the books. The Gospels are the crown jewel. Books that were undisputed such as Paul's letters, and 1 John are also universally recognized. Once you get to 2 & 3 John, Jude, there was some debate. Revelation was only accepted as canonical in the...

    Beats me. Never felt guilty about being Christian. :scratch:

    Why and what is MAGA?

    Heck I've worked for an Israeli company in Boston. A global economy is a mixed bag. Second, when it come to manufacturing, for example, EV battery plants here, the US still does not have a lot of those raw materials within our borders. We'd still have to deal with other countries for them.

    Is not reading the Bible a sin,part 2

    “I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.” ― Martin Luther It is good to spend time in the Scriptures. Even David wrote in Psalm 119:15-16 I will meditate on Your precepts and regard Your ways. I will delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word...

    Why and what is MAGA?

    For me, we're at the end of Pax Americana. We're not the only world's major power anymore. Yes we still dominate to a large extent, but like Pax Romana facing Germanic tribes and the Persian Empire, we're facing rising powers of China and India. We're facing a plague like the Antonine Plague...

    Seattle museum summer camp teaches 12-year-olds 'the art of drag'

    As for "grooming", I'd be more worried about the Boy Scouts, and I'm speaking as an Eagle Scout and involved with Scouting for over 30 years. Have you ever been involved with the performing arts especially theater? My experience is that if you are not interested, someone who is homosexual is...

    Seattle museum summer camp teaches 12-year-olds 'the art of drag'

    The camp is 12-18, so teens at the very least. I started seeing RHPS at the age of 16 back in the mid-80s. That was my first exposure to the LGBT community. For me, I at least learned to shrug off advances from a guy during RHPS. I've seen men threaten to kill a gay man who hit on them...

    Seattle museum summer camp teaches 12-year-olds 'the art of drag'

    MMXX, one other thought. Yes, I am tired of the gender identity labels that so many people want to apply. My employer wants us to put our personal pronoun on our email signature. I am pushing back simply out of exhaustion. If someone else wants me to use a particular pronoun, I'll respect...

    Seattle museum summer camp teaches 12-year-olds 'the art of drag'

    Well, Tom Hanks didnt do too poorly. I was in a shadowcast of Rocky Horror Picture Show in my late teens. It's part of the performing arts. One of my fraternity brothers is a RC priest who has an MFA in Theater and some of the roles were drag.

    Seattle museum summer camp teaches 12-year-olds 'the art of drag'

    Hugo Weaving who played Elrond in Lord of the Rings, Agent Smith in the Matrix Trilogy, V in V is for Vendetta, and Red Skull in Captain America, played a drag queen in Priscilla Queen of the Desert before all of those roles. Not a big deal in my book. Drag is simply one small part of theater.

    Be more specific! And speaking of drag queens, a lot of people know Hugo Weaving as Elrond, V, Red Skull, Agent Smith... and as "Tick"

    GOP states sue Biden for ending Title 42 and setting up border for 'catastrophe'

    And apparently Americans are living large on the stimulus money so we need somebody to take those $15 / hr jobs.
