Not long ago I had a conversation with an individual who said they would not take communion in church at this time and maybe for the foreseeable future, as they felt they were not supposed to because they had some difficulty reconciling some teachings of the church in their own mind. This...

I would use it often

What do you mean by that?

I am appreciating my kindle book The Essence of Vedanta by Brian Hodgkinson and as I mentioned my kindle book A Popular Dictionary of Hinduism by Karel Werner is informative and my Hinduism: A Comprehensive Guide by Cassie Coleman. I think I mentioned all these names before, just updating that...

Thanks!

I thought I corrected that - by adding the information -- you can find it here on this youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@abhbible/search Look under Shorts for "Was Noah mocked?"

You could day that to anybody preaching or evangelizing or sharing any beliefs or thoughts at all. :oops: o_O🤨

I thought the capital R was meant to refer to Religion. Are you sure that all orthodox faiths clearly discourage slavery?

This is really fascinating. Where would I read more that explains that concept in particular? This is also fascinating - where can I read more in depth about this? What are the criteria by which that is determined? I once knew someone who was trying to invent a form of deism he felt would be...

Dan McClellan, again

ok then

Well darn. 😕

By that you mean an existing orthodox religion... I know that only from what you have said before. What do they posit will go wrong if one does NOT do that?
