Re: The "Pennsylvania Dutch" Bible: I have known Hank Hershberger for many years. He would not change the meaning of any Scripture, regardless of the fact that he grew up Amish. The men who worked on this translation with him were all Amish. Can you explain this quote, then? Misunderstand...

Do we have people here who are good at Pennsylvania Dutch? Does Selig mean "saved" in modern Pennsylvania German? Here is Matthew 5 in the Luther and Pennsylvania Dutch Bible: https://www.bible.com/bible/1455/MAT.5.PDCB?parallel=51 Luther: Selig sind, die da geistlich arm sind; denn das H...

I have been to one Orthodox baptism and it was an infant. Fully submerged 3x in the name of the Father, Son, & Hy Spirit. It was quite a Holy experience for the baby who then was also anointed with oil and prayed over to receive the Holy Spirit (Chrismation). Due to the fact I have read early C...

Unless I misread the news coverage. The trans kid was ASSAULTED in the bathroom and subsequently died from their injuries later. So yes, the murderous act or killing happened in the bathroom even if the death didn't happen until later. Of course if it turns out that the death was unrelated to the a...
