    Bible preferences and a few questions

    Thanks for the tip! It took me a bit but i think i'm starting to figure out how to use BibleHub. I've never done anything like this before. Just parallel bible reading on biblegateway. That sounds like a really interesting point to research. I've been interested in studying the bible's view on...

    Bible preferences and a few questions

    The best bible is one that you will read. I for one like the website biblegateway because it lets you read a lot of different versions! And you can even put one alongside another and compare passages. For example you can put the KJV beside the NIV and look at how they each write Genesis chapter...

    Is it Ethical to be fired for stating Christian beliefs

    Thank you. This is exactly right. This is something I’m trying to learn too, and I try to remind myself it’s between them and god but if I show them nothing but disapproval and judgement then they won’t want anything to do with my lord and savior or church of anything. They deserve to and need...

    Dem bill to ban boys’ and girls’ toy, clothing aisles introduced in California

    I can see the good in this, in general. Clothes and toys are too gender stereotyped.

So i can see...

    I have trouble reading much of the old testament

    really? Do you have names or links? Cause like the OP said it’s always bugged me how much genocide is in the Old Testament. Did the Jewish people simply assume that God was backing them and write it into the scriptures? But to me that sounds like such a slippery slope...to say that ‘oh it might...

    So what's the orthodox church's beliefs?

    I'm curious! Cause from what i understand, Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic split around 1000-1100 AD and both claim to be the original denomination of the Christian faith. I know a bit about catholicism cause for a bit i debated converting. Are they still similar? I just think, as a...

    Middle School hangs LGBT flag in cafeteria, bans flag of traditional family

    Honestly, i side with the school's decision. I don't know the context for why they decided to even fly the pride flag to begin with. I assume its so those students feel safe and accepted at school? Idk. I don't really care - even if it goes against God's will, it might do a gay or trans kid some...

    Bible-based kindle books?

    Especially if it relates to my current struggle with same-sex attraction, but anything is welcome. I've been especially interested in the spiritual or allegorical interpretations of Genesis 1-11. Even if you interpret it literally, i feel like there's a whole lot of depth you can get from...
