Yes. This a report from almost 40 years ago. Yes, because back then there wasn’t a political bias against accurate reporting of this information. No academic could write a report like this now without destroying their career. Paul Cameron, the author of the paper in the OP, was expelled from the Am...

And that most of what passes for religious holidays in this country are not even Biblical anyway. Certainly not celebrating Christmas on December 25th. Or celebrating Easter on the first Sunday after the first full Moon that occurs on or after the vernal equinox. Ken, That is a brilliant observatio...

Make no mistake: promotion of homosexuality, transsexuality, and pedophilia is evil and demonic, and the Bible makes it very clear how and why these things are. Deuteronomy 22:(5) The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that d...

Only Jesus saves, and the "cookie" is not Jesus, bow down to it as you will. The weekly communion at the Church of Christ was a type of idol. I could not see it then, and it is still hard for me to see it now, but it really was something concocted to control people. The Church of Christ t...

In your reckoning, when did "Saturday" end? Are you using Western, or Jewish definitions for "day"? If one uses the Jewish reckoning, then anytime after sun-down on the Sabbath was the first day of the week. The other part of the puzzle is how do you define a day to start with? ...

I don't know how else to parse this: I suspect you will only hear crickets here. OK yes you're right. Friends, I was raised in the "Church of Christ", we had weekly Communion, and a lot of people showed up once a year for Easter Sunday, just like MaxPC said. We sung acapella without instr...

Christ said: Matthew 12:(40) For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
