@KarMarJo57 welcome on board. thanx so much for joining us.
@Knittinggrace btw, in the above response, I used three unacceptable words from Chinese, Swedish, and British English. Your language and culture has made certain words bad, not the Bible. Sons of Vipers would have fallen into the same category during the days of Jesus. Good luck on reconciling that.
@Knittinggrace it truly breaks my heart when I see brothers and sisters trapped by a religious spirit and twisting scripture to fit their world view. 17! Dont you see you argue the case of the Pharisees? You verify your righteousness because of the language you used in the Navy and how others felt bad when they were around you? Dogs! that's not a testimony of righteousness. that's bloody religion. Jesus used harsh language as will many of the people I will interview. that will not stop.
I was just discussing human trafficking in our state with my mom this morning...I didn't know slavery was common in North Korea :(

@mariapombo amen
@speakthetruth praying!
There is a "friend" and coworker of mine that is unsaved. Please pray for me as I reach out to him. He is also from an Agape church (commonly known as remnant churches or charity churches). For more info, you can look up Ephrata Christian Fellowship, Living Hope Christian Fellowship, and Harmony Christian Fellowship and you will see a good picture of what my background is.
@krelliott welcome back
@Cmarquis this was GREAT
I will take my lumps when I misunderstand scripture, and I personally try to use words that make people like you happy. Let's remember it's not my language you have a problem with, it's someone else. you want me to condemn someone because the language they use YOU believe is inappropriate and then you twist scripture to justify it? personally, I try not to judge others when they use strong language and i certainly try not to distort the bible to do it.
it was the substance of their language that made it deplorable. The pharisees used proper language that would have made you happy and content. but Jesus, no Jesus used the kind of language that would have been familiar to carpenters, fishermen, and the rowdy sort - not the educated elite that look down on such common low brow language.
I have been living and causing trouble in China for more than 20 years.
