I’m not a member of any eastern religion, but probably the reason behind some conversions from a Christian style or dogma, to something completely different, is due to the hypocrisy so prevalent in Christendom!
For Christians, the Bible outlines a sexually-immoral-free life, but few live by...
I find it is context and setting that should be taken into consideration:
* In Bible days, (Bible speak, so to speak) in the Greek the word Cretan was synonymous with being liar.....
Titus1:10-12 was Paul speaking from the words of an ancient poet Epimenides of the 6th century BC /BCE.
* Yes...

I don't disagree with any of this. On reflection, I can't think of anywhere Jesus taught any kid of theology or worship. His audience was simple, so he taught a simple message. He taught loving devotion to God, or as Hindus call it bhakti. I think the "I and my Father are one" and "If you have...
Mainstream Christianity, i.e., Christendom, has been off track for over 1900 years, right after the last Apostle, John, died. (Even during their lives, false teachings were cropping up.- 2 Timothy 2:16-18; Titus1:10-11,16)
For one thing, Jesus never told his followers -- or future ones -- to...
But the question was not about asking them - it was about answering them.
You are correct about the "debates about words" (2 Timothy 2:14, 23; Titus 3:9; Colossians 2:8)...

You certainly did, I just missed. I apologize. I don't think the context will be any different buy let me post 1 Titus and comment on it.

For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.
And here...
Didn't I mention Titus1:10? It's a few verses down, in that context.
Yes, I agree, from these types. But Christians can stop following Christ, i.e., lose their faith, by committing deliberate sins. That's what I meant, in referencing 1 Corinthians 5.
That's why the Greek Scriptures (NT)...
Hello HC.
For the sake of simplicity lets say that "εἰμί" can be translated as "have been" in John 3.
Why did none of the following interpret Paul in the past tense? We were talking about 1 Timothy 1:15:
New International Version
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance...
Hey, 1robin! Hope you've been well, my friend!
Regarding 'εἰμί', look at John 3:28, in the NASB. "Have been" is an acceptable translation, depending on context.
As to which "camp" I belong to, we need to have and exercise our faith, but faith "without works is dead", right? (James 1:26) And...

And there is plenty of both brutal anti-Humanity and brutal anti-anything-other-than-Judaism hatred in the Torah, so I wouldn't advise to portray them as the innocent:

It goes beyond that.
It's hatred for Jews in the Christian bible.

"By their use of many words they imagine they will get hearing from Jehovah" Matthew 6:5-8 ( I realize the scripture is about prayer to God but how much different is prayer to God than words about God?)
This is one of those conversations that just goes in a circle and never really going anywhere. As I said before, there are many different ways people can preach. Jesus didn't always preach in or at a house. How does every different religious sect not have one single message about God's kingdom...
People in general, if they are honest will not think it is insulting, just truthful. They don't have the time or the inclination to read lengthy articles. If you just post a line out of context, most people will take it at face value. That is what humans do. If it fits what they want to believe...
