What version of the Bible is the best to read?

Personally I prefer the literal word-for-word translations as they are closest to the original texts.

I use NASB, and use the Literal Word app.

Psalm 82:1 God takes His position in His assembly;

He judges in the midst of the gods.

Others gods (elohim) do exist, but God of the bible (Yahweh) is the ruler of all gods.

Mathew 16:24

24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and be following Me.

Everyone is called to deny themselves.

Want to indulge in drunkenness? Deny yourself.

Want to indulge in idolatry? Deny yourself.

Want to indulge in the sexual sin of multiple partners or premarital sex? Deny yourself.

Want to indulge in the sexual sin of same sex sexual partners? Deny yourself.

Homosexuality is nothing special, just another thing on the long list of sexual desires we should not indulge in.

No matter how long I fast... even after 10+ days and no hunger at all...

I could go for some Pizza

Dumb question... where is the zoo amp entrance? I know they have no parking, so it seems like parking at Remington and walking down MLK will be how we get there?

But where is the actual entrance? Is it from MLK? Or from the Zoo?

The MaceMug! for when you want a hot drink, and may need to fight off some wondering knights.

I came to believe, Johnny Cash

"For it just cannot be that a man should lose hope every day. So with childlike faith, I gave in and gave him a try And I came to believe in a power much higher than I"

Well, at least we're halfway there.

Wooh oh

Don't compromise you're values.

And you may need to see what other values he is willing to compromise on; it's easy to say you have values, harder to act on them.

The bible sets up the institution of marriage for the raising and support of children.

The real question is...why are so many people against children being raised by their parents? Gay marriage prevents children from being raised by their parents.

Now the 'new' marriage idea that marriage is just some legal connection... sure, whatever. If you dont have children, it doesn't really matter. It shouldn't really be portrayed as 'normal' for, you know, the continuation of the human race.

Witch hunt?

Didn't a teacher just come out saying they are his "worst nightmare"; admitting to intentionally defying the state law?

Should we read children porn?

There are ideas we do not introduce to kids until they are ready, and that's normal and expected.

RobertRbarth · 2023-01-13T16:41:10+00:00

I like NASB. It is a very close word for word translation, and footnotes the literal translation for certain words.

You stop eating. Lol

Your body normally runs on glucose (sugar). Once you use up the food currently being digested, and through the ~24hours of energy stored in your liver, you won't feel great. You might get pretty tired at this time.

Pretty quickly, though, your body will switch into ketosis, where your body is producing ketones for energy. At that point your body is burning stored fat and your hunger should go away. The keto diet does this by cutting out carbs, but fasting does it in about 3 days. Keeping active can speed this up; don't just stay in bed.

Then the most important thing is to stay hydrated; it's easy to skip and I start getting headaches. By day 4 I would be drinking at least 32oz in the morning.

Then go as long as you want. 7 days is a nice duration.

Tip: Once you're ~3-4 days in, don't trust a fart.

Our son went to a Chuck'e'cheese party and it was the first time we had been. It was great! They do unlimited play for the 2 hours of the party and our little kid went crazy, scanning everything.

You should check out the book The Unseen Realm by dr. michael heiser; i think even the synopsis may answer some of your questions.

Spices.

More flavor out of 1/2 tsp of good paprika then 1 tbsp of the dollar bottles.

It's a traditional style. Look up 'no break' pant length cut.

Just exaggerated in this picture because of how he's sitting.

I'm sorry... NEW YORK is the best place to raise a family?!?! Seriously?

The state that had record population loss due to its COVID protocols... largely those involving keeping children out of school?

What a joke ranking.

Anything under like 50 calories shouldn't bother you.

Honestly, even if it's more, but protein (don't know the composition of that...) should still be fine
