The Pentecostals that I know use KJV. Spiritual gifts are still relevant, however God doesn't grant the same ones to everyone. As far as the bible goes, I've been using my parallel bible with the AMP and KJV side by side. I also like the NIV. I don't like the Message translation so I avoid that one.

Trinitarian here but I respect those who have the perspective based on the book of Acts as well.

I equate their friendship with the kind of friendships that I wish more males had here in the states. It's interesting that these friendships are generally not a big deal in other parts of the world, and I mean places where homosexuality is punishable by death. In the USA, we have a tendency to...

There are LGBT activists who interpret the friendship of David and Jonathan as a homosexual relationship due to it's flowery language.

Forgiveness=/=sympathy. Forgiveness also doesn't mean no earthly consequences. You can forgive someone but not trust them. Knowing this about him and forgiving him doesn't mean that he should be around you or anyone's children.

I would think that this would be a non essential issue? Just an FYI-the procedure of circumcision needs to be modified. The current method is way outdated.

Ummmm not sure, but I can't say that I've ever masturbated while reading a book in the bible. Awkward much?

right! But if it involves inappropriate contentography, it's safe to say that it would be.

Racists doing what they do. Nothing to see.

To each their own and I do appreciate some CCM and gospel though I have not listened to much of it lately. Not because of the emotionalism but because more or less, emotionally speaking, I'm just not there. I just have a lot going on and I'd rather music that can really speak to my situations.

We're reminded of slavery on a regular basis, there's no way around it. That said, Juneteenth is a celebration of the emancipation. We don't really observe it in my area, however other cities in my home state do.

So far Texas and Oklahoma are the only ones who recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday. It is more important now than every that we make a habit to observe it as it is our real independence day. It's the day the last slaves were freed and more states need to begin to take notice.

Okay, I want to know. Is masturbation really that big of a deal? Granted if it involves inappropriate contentography, yes but sometimes it's a good since of stress relief and can reduce our risk of certain cancers. I would not recommend it on a regular basis but the occasional session is not out of line. All...

Sorry for the late response, but no I don't believe the baker should be financially bankrupt for this. I believe it should go both ways. It is a private business. I also realize that everyone does not agree with SSM and nor should they. So no to both questions.

I would say that the last two elections have simply bought to the light what was in the dark. People don't become that prejudiced, they are or they're not.

We can sum this statement up by saying that not all conservatives are racist and not all liberals are caring individuals. I'm a staunch moderate having issues that I'm rather conservative on and some that I hold a more liberal point of view on.

Most people go to racially homogeneous. I was posing this question solely to have a conversation about something that sporadically comes up among church goers.

It is political in the sense that closet racists are no longer in the closet.

Let me say again! I asked this because, this is something that frequently comes up. Nothing more, nothing less.
