    “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.”

    Romans 16:17-18

    If only MAGA Republicans could read, they’d have seen this coming.

    The perfect gift for someone whose heart is currently burning in hell.

    For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

    I wish he’d just hurry up and exile himself to Belarus so I could win the office pool already, gosh.

        manga

        I think certain parts of the Bible are a little too “kinky” for manga form.

          Sounds like a nice joke, but I can’t think of a single thing in there that fits that description.

          Don’t downvote me though unless you at least remember something I don’t. Then again, why would that deserve a downvote

            There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. Ezekiel 23:20

            There’s also the rape of Dina, Lot and his daughters, and the Song of Songs (Song of Solomon) also come to mind. There’s probably more that I can’t remember.

            I wouldn’t downvote a simple question. Also, it’s best not to care about downvotes anyways. Only votes that matter is up voting a post so it appears on the front page if it’s important.

              Those are all super tame and vanilla— certainly not “too kinky for manga”. Rape in-and-of-itself isn’t even a kink unless it’s the person wanting to feel raped— which is still pretty vanilla. But I digress.

    Besides a King James Version translation, it includes copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance, as well as a handwritten chorus of the famous Greenwood song.

    Of course he used the KJV. The version that no modern Christian couldn’t read if they wanted to and the version that basically every fundamentalist Christian has on their bookshelf and never opens.

      Grew up Baptist, and KJV is the one Baptists open and read and swear is the only “correct” one. And before you say Baptists don’t read it, well… a good half of them do, maybe more.

      Baptists are hateful little effers though, that often know a lot of Bible, yet follow very few of the key points.

      Ooh the fundies get mad mad when anyone suggests that perhaps the KJV isn’t the only, or even best, version. And it’s always the ones who post their dumb Bible journaling where they’ve highlighted all but like, 3 words. Bitch, you didn’t read all that. You would’ve known what to actually highlight if you did.

        It’s not necessarily hard to read, but I feel like a lot of christians don’t read it as much as they think. Time consuming, sure. But than again there aren’t artifacts to hold in your invetory you know, you’re supposed to read it. I mean, for real. While we’re at it why not reading the ancient greek translation, which is one of the earliest we know of.

      I take offence at that, we have a KJV on our book shelf and it is never opened and I certainly don’t call my self a fundamentalist Christian, or even a Christian.

      It is sitting with the greek myths, british folk law, NZ pre European accounts/trade/culture, and the section with all the language/translation etc
