ByronEA Unfortunately, I won't get to spend Easter with my family this year. I will have to work. :( But I will be going to service that morning to worship before I go into work!

ByronEA That is the weakest argument I have ever heard. You are against electronic bibles because it is wrong for God's word to have to depend upon batteries? My belief is that the power of the Scriptures are in its words, not in the way it is presented (on a paper...

ByronEA The translator translated the text as literally as possible. The most literal translation I have ever seen. If you ever want to know what the original languages LITERALLY said, read the Yong's Literal Translation.

ByronEA Another great advantage of Youversion and e-Sword that I love is comparing translations! :) I love comparing Young's Literal Translation with all these other Bibles. It really shows you how much liberty they take in interpreting passages rather than literally...

In the Bible, it was written that God has a name. Many people have their own belief in this regard. But in the Bible, a lot of verses, one is Psalms 83:18, enlightened us that God's name is JEHOVAH.

ByronEA You may be interested in the World English Bible. They use the name Yahweh throughout the entire Old Testament, over 6,000 times!

ByronEA I do not believe using his Sacred Name to be a requirement for our prayers to be heard. That is venturing into legalism, and besides the Lord's Prayer does not use the sacred name even once, nor does any New Testament prayer.

I am listening to Blake Shelton's hillbilly bone! Its a great song! My redneck side always comes out when I am heartbroken. My ex and i split up yesterday, and I am blaring country music on the computer today! Its helping! :)

ByronEA It is a good song, but its too mellow for me right now. I need some upbeat country. :) I am from preble county, Ohio. One of the most redneck areas you can get north of the mason dixie line. lol. I miss it at times. :(

ByronEA I agree that someone who is in willful sin should not be in a leadership position. But I do need to make one clarification on the statement: In order for it to be "willful", the sin has to be deliberate and intentional. That is going by the very definition of...

ByronEA The Biblical case against homosexuality isn't as clear cut as the Conservatives would have you believe. Sure, in our mainstream English translations it may be. But when someone uses the Bible to promote prejudice and hate, I think it warrants taking a closer...

The idea of tithing is giving 10% of what you earn to your church. in turn the church, does good works with it. It is based in the bible where if you have 10 sheep, you should give the first one to the Lord. i think there has to...

ByronEA It is written in the Old Covenant, not the New Covenant. In the New Covenant, we are only told to give what we have decided in our heart, not under compulsion, and not grudgingly. We are to be, instead, cheerful givers. (2 Corinthians 9:7) The tithe is part...

ByronEA I am speaking here about what my studies have led me to believe. Yes, there were councils before the Council of Nicaea, but they did not affect the entire church. They were not Universal in nature, they only affected the dioceses of the bishops represented and...

ByronEA The view of the Anglican church (I am saying this to be informative, not insulting. Please forgive me if I do insult) is that the papacy had become corrupt (at the time of the 16th century) and so the church of England broke ties with Rome. I believe that...

ByronEA One major complaint about this game is permanent death. When you die, its the end. You have to start back at the begining from scratch. (There is a way around this, called save scumming, but its one of the cardinal sins of the NetHack community. You ever admit...

Please briefly explain what your denomination believes. I am a Christian-Universalist. I believe that all souls will ultimately be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ's shed blood.

ByronEA I found a prayer on the internet that i just said over the oil. It asks God to bless it and asks that it consecrate and blesses the user, as well as the sick (of both spirit and body) who it is used on to be healed. Half of it i am giving to a friend who was...
