...his favorite political party is doing everything they can to tear down the family and to mock God's creating them 'male and female... The American nuclear family has been declining since the '60s at the latest. Politicians have been following this trend, not leading it.Not often mentioned in articles like this: Americans have, over generations, been trained to be perpetual children, fed by a "Perfect Storm" of toxic propaganda and "culture" manufactured by artists, bureaucracies, NGOs, and corporations, for whom irresponsibility has proven highly profitable. Children are more easily sold advertising and script lines saying that children are wise, fathers are fools, housewives are unfulfilled, rules are made to be broken, never defer gratification, self-fulfillment is noble, and other such foolishness. You have to be a committed iconoclast to push back against all this. |

...The translation found in the KJV is the same rendering William Tyndale first used in 1526 You're right, so it seems that Tyndale was likewise on the squeamish side. However great a man he may have been, he did not have the last word on how NT Greek should be translated. If one must paraphrase, it should be as close as possible to the original word, and "abusing themselves" is too vague – there are many ways to abuse oneself. |

Textual variants can be reconciled in a more You seem to misunderstand; 1 Tim 1:10 has no textual variations of concern here. What varies is how the Greek word "arsenokoitēs" is translated; the KJV uses the euphemistic "abusers of themselves with mankind," which homosexual apologists can easily distort, while the older Geneva, with the same textual basis, uses a more blunt term that does better justice to the Greek. |

I am conservative. But why can't there be 2 different interest rates, one higher interest rate for savings accounts and one lower interest rate for loans? Because the market has it so. If you don't like loan rates, then don't borrow. And if you don't like savings rates, then find a better investment. The mature policy is to "play the hand you've been dealt." |

...I'm not sure that the study of the natural world isn't without merit, especially since it ought to reveal something of the Lord in His creativity, etc. Skepticism about science doesn't imply we shouldn't study and attempt to devise models of how nature works so we can fulfill our duty of dominion. It is only a problem if we arrogantly claim such models to be true, rather than admitting humbly that the only certainty we have is what God verbally reveals; all else is tentative and subject to error.Example: there are several ways to model the Earth - flat, spherical, ellipsoid, and WGS-84 (used for GPS). None of these are true, for the Earth's shape cannot be reduced to any mathematical formulation or tabulation, but each has its uses, esp. in navigation. Even flat Earth, with its simple mathematics, is fine if you're a hurler or artilleryman. It depends on how much error is tolerable. Same goes for the atmosphere: I have seen 3 different standard models for it. Which is best? It depends on what you're using it for. |
