    Do the modern translations mistranslate Romans 10:9?

    Translation does matter but in this case idk how one could read either translation and come away with a false interpretation. Typically context will make translations clear anyways. Very rarely I'll come across a text where the English translation is so far off from the Greek that I must...

    Trump-Mamdani Bromance?

    Politics. He was polite outside of debate with Obama, Biden, and on the other side even plenty of times to his enemies in Russia, China, and the middle east. It is obvious politics and smart politics. Just as Charlie Kirk taught “When discourse ends, violence begins.” Even with Hamas, he...

    Feeling sad

    Dear child of God, you could never do so much to separate yourself from the love of God. The grace and forgiveness of God are right there for you to accept. The guilt and shame should never keep us from God, if it does, it is the tool that Satan uses to keep us in the cycle of sin. There is...

    Armistice Day-November 11 during WW2 WHEN THE GUNS STOP They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Micah 4:3. To most men in service, the time visualized by Micah seems a long way off. Even the day when the present war will end seems to be endlessly...

    Is jealousy a valid emotion in a Christian dating relationship, or am I just feeling insecure?

    Is jealousy a valid emotion in a Christian dating relationship, or am I just feeling insecure?

    What do you bring to the table?
