    who said"All Scripture is literal, and metaphor. The metaphor is more sophisticated"

    looking for a specific verse, heard it last week

    Went on a tour of a Hindu, Siek, Muslim and Bhuddist temple all in one day. It was a crazy experience. Seems to me that all religions have prayer, tithing/offering, helping, study, evangelizing and all other activities just like Christians do. Made me think... What if everybody dipped their...

    Okay... sermon on the mount... Jesus said "let man not separate what God has joined..." Refering to marriage. Seems to me that marriage is a covenant that only God has the authority to ratify. Marriage must be a statement that is a constant among all time and all cultures. Right...
