I concur. With Hebrew being even older than the Greek, fewer words with more meanings is increased. Just as Kirk didn’t appear to understand the difference between ‘ish’ and ‘zakar’ in Leviticus 18 and 20, he couldn’t make a proper interpretation of arsenokoitai in 1Cor 6.

Too few actually study.

“For we are what he has made us, created within Christ Jesus for good works”. Jesus is synonymous with all humanity, created within Christ. Just as Jesus cannot say, “Lo, I am with you always" and then depart.

For it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives within me.

Good stuff!

Unfortunately, Mr. MacArthur was very popular in the 1990s Southern Baptist realms, and his damaging ‘reformed theology’ still has its hold within the SBC. This articles gripes about many of the views still held by SBC members.

I listened to a portion of this, and can pretty much confirm that neither of these ‘debaters’ have much Biblical knowledge. Both place their own biased opinions over proper exegesis.

Amen, Trey.

Sadly, too many Christians fail to know the Scriptural language concerning the LGBTQIA (Lev 18 & 20, Rom 1, 1Cor 6, 1Tim 1, Jude) or the ancient rite of Adelphopoiesis which used the marriage sacrament.

Personal opinion has crept in resulting in fallacious interpretations & theology.

God (Source) created the Son (universal consciousness) within which everything in this reality resides. When we understand this concept that all is in union together, our firstborn sense of ‘self’ dies and our fear or worry of this life (Pharoah) ceases.

It shouldn’t about rules, but harmony.

Unfortunately, many Christians take this story as literal instead of allegorical. The blood represents the awareness of God’s presence within, while the death of the firstborn is the death of our initial, egoic nature.

This story is the same as reflecting being born from above, or a second birth.

Actually, the Bible doesn’t actually teach the bias against the LGBTQIA community that Christians believe.

The Greek terms have been severely mistranslated and taught incorrectly for decades due to a lack of scholarship by non-Greek reading teachers, i.e. the uneducated teaching the uneducated.

Yelling, screaming and boycotting to force conformity to DEI only creates a wider barrier from those who don’t understand the need for it.

You attract more bees with sugar than with vinegar

Did you miss the fact that they had DEI in the first place?

A customer base for a national company has to be diverse, and that they implemented DEI at all estranged a portion of their customer base, just as their support of the trans community did. A boycott only shows lack of commitment to them.

Again, a company is dictated by its consumer base. Had the population affected by DEI been steadfast customers, DEI would remain.

A company will not continue to lose support from one consumer branch to support another who will also boycott it at any given issue.

It amazes me that a company who had the courage to implement DEI and sell ‘Pride’ clothing is being boycotted by the left for it not being left enough.

If Target sells enough Pride clothing, they will continue and expand. Target will sway to their customer base, not boycotts.

This bill also denigrates the federal civil service workers by tearing away at their earned retirement, devaluing years of service to the nation. Shameful.

Haha, I fully agree. Seeing that the NT was written in Greek, we could view the logos from either the Greek philosophical or Stoic view of the word, or its representation of a Jewish thought.

I prefer the Greek philosophical ‘divine principle or reasoning’ lending to a NT view of Genesis 1.

Exactly, the logos being both toward (with) God and God Himself.
