I recall a very popular "Christian Forum" nearly 2 decades ago that was run by someone called "Shekel". He had worked out an interesting sort of Bible-wheel-geometric-code, and was held in awe by his followers to the extent that disagreeing with his posts guaranteed conflict and referral to his teachings, as they were. One day with no warning I found I was unable to logon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I always say the Holy Spirit is in the drivers seat I’m just along for the ride, He gets excited to see so many positive threads about our Father so you guys keep sparking old interests I had forgotten by just posting it has been a blessing and made my faith even stronger just observing and piggybacking with my own knowledge so nothing in particular at the moment SHALOM❤️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the most controversial topics can increase our faith by doing just that taking us out of our comfort zones and having to dive deep I live for that if it’s done to glorify God and not feed Ego ( that’s when a lot of topics go off the rail) but I agree getting your hands deep in the word is faith building ?

Guest Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) 16 hours ago, MrBear said: I know the feeling I was a sworn KJV for a long time begat begat begat begot … my Dad was like you got all these bibles and they are all KJV? I said is there another Bible? I can see people getting ruffled about translations they don’t like that I quote from the HSCB sometimes i have even had other Christians get mad because of my crucifix “ that was an instrument of Jesus’s death! Why would you wear that? If he was shot with a gun would you wear a gun around your neck?” ? hey those people were serious But God made us all unique, I just don’t get mad I move on, that’s the best thing to do, it’s my salvation and judging them isn’t helping me achieve my goal it’s just a stumbling block ? SHALOM❤️ I love the HCSB. Of the four I currently read, I mostly read the NIV, NASB, ESV and HCSB. I will reference: YLT, KJV, NKJV, and a few others on e-Sword. I don't understand the difference between the HCSB and the CSB. They are very close based on my unscientific comparison of the two versions. So wear that cross with pride because Jesus did that for us. Peace brother. Edited December 7, 2021 by Saved.One.by.Grace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually someone who is consistent in following God will naturally offend others. Simply saying Bless You or God loves you can cause offense. If you are truly following God, people will be offended. Let us never say that we offended someone with sin however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
