    What is the Biblical definition of usury, and does the Bible say it’s sinful?

    What was it historically that set Catholics down the path of believing Mary stayed a virgin her whole life?

    I don’t know what his problem is with fonts. Obviously they make modern printings of old documents in today’s English.

    What was it historically that set Catholics down the path of believing Mary stayed a virgin her whole life?

    Are you Catholic? You sound like it. The Protestants I know are not obsessed with Mary. But Catholics are the ones who make statues to her, pray to her, and make up supposedly true stories of people in modern times being visited by her. I remember Steven Colbert talking with a fellow Catholic...

    What was it historically that set Catholics down the path of believing Mary stayed a virgin her whole life?

    One thing that really stands out to me is the fact that Catholics today refer to Mary as the Queen of Heaven, and they burn incense to her. Well, in Isaiah, God rebuked the Israelites for worshipping a false godess, who they referred to as the Queen of Heaven. Also in the book of Acts, the...

    What was it historically that set Catholics down the path of believing Mary stayed a virgin her whole life?

    Yes, I believe because this lie was started very early on, at least as early as the 3rd century, long before the Catholics and Eastern Orthodox had their major split.

    What was it historically that set Catholics down the path of believing Mary stayed a virgin her whole life?

    On a side note, I find it interesting how the nation’s capitol is right in between Virginia and Maryland. Think about that. Virginia (virgin) and Maryland (Mary). Just goes to show the influence Catholics still had even after the church of England had broken away from Catholicism.

    What was it historically that set Catholics down the path of believing Mary stayed a virgin her whole life?

    Most of the Catholics I’ve talked to want to argue the point that Mary remained a virgin her whole life. But the New Testament never specifies this. In fact, it insinuates the opposite. It says Joseph refrained from sleeping with Mary until after Jesus was born, which makes it sound like he...

    Should Christians use cuss words?

    How old are you? I’m surprised you haven’t learned what cuss words are. Are you still in grade school? Or did you grow up Amish? You seriously have never learned what cuss words are?

    Should Christians use cuss words?

    As I said already, a cuss word depends on time, region, language, and culture.

    Should Christians use cuss words?

    Have you seen this YouTube video? This video is made by someone who claims to be a Christian, and she’s trying to use the Bible to justify the use of profanity. For example, when she says that when Saul called David a “son of a rebellious and perverse woman”, she says that ought to be...

    Why are there some Christians who are obsessed with Flat Earth Conspiracy?

    No, they’re real people. I chat with them in the comments. They’re not robots.

    Where does Sargon fit into the Biblical timeline?

    People keep saying that the book of Tobit is historically inaccurate, because it says Sennacherib became king after his father Shalmaneser. They say, “Shalmaneser was king, and then Sargon was king for 17 years, and then Sennacherib was king.” However, that’s not possible. Because 2 Kings 18...

    Why are there some Christians who are obsessed with Flat Earth Conspiracy?

    I have a YouTube channel where I make videos that are kind of like apologetic works, defending the Bible from atheistic attacks. And for some reason I get all these people who keep trying to promote their Flat Earth conspiracy in the comments. Like, I made a video about the Egyptian Pyramids...

    Why is this Messianic prophecy missing from Isaiah 61 in my Bible?

    I’m not fixated on the KJV. I don’t even read the KJV. I just noticed that all the translations that me and my friends use are missing “and recovery of sight for the blind.” It doesn’t matter whether it’s NIV, NKJV, KJV, ESV, NASB, NLT. They’re all missing it (In Isaiah 61, not Luke 4).

    Why is this Messianic prophecy missing from Isaiah 61 in my Bible?

    Wow, the ESV is missing it too. Sounds like there might be a problem with the source text?

    Why is this Messianic prophecy missing from Isaiah 61 in my Bible?

    (I read the New King James version.) In Luke 4, Jesus visited his home town, stood up in the synagogue, opened the Hebrew scroll of Isaiah, and quoted Isaiah 61. This is what he said: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent...
