@SocratesSword@LGBTQPete Let's see - when I was a kid, comic books were a quarter, gas was 50 cents a gallon, and Taco Bell claimed in its ads they could feed a family of 4 for $5. Guess it's normal for prices to go up. The problem is how fast.
@MrsEmilyFinch I became a believer in SBC in Oklahoma. I had excellent loving training by many people who now shock me with how they left the path. I am as passionate about Christ as before, largely because I am in a healthy church, but man without that it would have been crushing staying true.
@JonFibonacci@JollyStine Former is badly translating a word only appearing once in scripture. Latter is Paul quoting an earlier letter written to him by the Corinthians to reject its ideas. All badly mistranslated by people who assumed the patriarchy was God's perfect design.
@HenryChien4@JollyStine Ancient Greek lacked quotation marks. I Corinthians is a letter responding to an earlier letter from the church and Paul correcting the error. Women not speaking g in church is most likely him quoting the earlier letter, and not his own thought.
@shr_eax@Johnandeva@MikeCosper Given that the point of the story is "someone from the group you despise most in life is your neighbor", it would be very easy to read it that way. It's also consistent with everything Jesus said in his ministry.
@theBrokenBeard @jovial_cynic Since the original post was concern with physical and not spiritual markets, I wanted to verify whether you were consistent.
@jovial_cynic But it does have God talking to Himself as if He were not a monism, so in that sense the Trinity is there, assuming that you consider the Trinity a God in relationship to Himself.
@theBrokenBeard @jovial_cynic Probably not actually, though some claim that. Assyria moved people into Israel as much as they were moving Jews out, so the Samaritans were probably a mixed bag ethnically who rejected the Hebrew Scriptures.
