@ginamilan_ I was on a ferry from Spain to Morocco and a Muslim mom slapped her 2 yr old son across the face as hard as she might slap a cheating husband. The boy was simply cranky & crying like toddlers do. I was shocked! All for spanking when appropriate, but that’s crazy.
@xKnowledgeBANK Often, casts or replicas of sick or injured body parts were involved in the worship of Asclepius (god of healing). These offerings may just show the prevalence of STDs at Pompeii.
@Truth_matters20 3 passages narrate people speaking in tongues (Acts 2, 10-11, 19). Only one states it was a known/understood language (Acts 2). The only teaching on it specifically says no one understands it, not even the speaker (1 Cor. 12-14). Biblical norm = not understood but still valuable.
@sola_chad Lewis: The standard of permanent Christianity must be kept clear.. and against that standard that we must test all contemporary thought. We must.. not move with the times. We serve One who said Heaven and Earth shall move with the times, but my words shall not move with the times
@Neccccy My brother moved to Denmark & got citizenship. He had to be proficient in Danish, which is very hard to learn, & pass difficult tests on history & culture. They want you to integrate with their culture, not change it. Freedom of religion & speech! But no need to let everyone in.
