Colwell’s Rule must die!
by Wonderment incolwell, a trinitarian methodist, was apparently affected by various translators of his time and before, that were translating john 1:1 differently from the norm: "the word was god.
" you had moffatt’s version saying "the word was divine" (1922); a french bible, "a divine being" (1928); belsham, "a god" (1808); benjamin wilson: "a god" (1864); robert young: "a god" in his commentary of 1985. colwell likely knew that various french and german bibles were being published challenging the traditional rendering "god" of john 1:1 as well.. so he set out to prove them wrong.
he began by formulating a "rule" regarding predicate nouns and the greek article, whether they occurred after or before the verb.

Orrrrr, you can just throw out John 1:1 entirely and wash your hands of it completely. Then you can get to what really matters - documenting the mating rituals of garden gnomes. -

So, the Womens March ... What Is It For?
by Simon init seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.
i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?
... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?

Social Justice warriors ruin everything they touch. SJWs are to society as cancer is to the body.
SJWs have gotten their hands on Star Wars.
Star Wars is dead. Not going to see Soylo.

Wealth, Poverty, and Morality
by SecondRateMind ini am interested in the approach this forum takes to money.
apart from sex, (which i am quite relaxed about) it seems to me that wealth is the surest divider between those who are moral, and those who are not.. it seems jesus thought so, also.
luke 16:19-31 kjv describes well enough his dusty attitude to the rich who do not succour the poor.. and this world has many poor: so many, it might seem that we can do nothing about it, and twist his words; 'the poor ye shall have always with you, but me, ye shall not have always.

@SRM: No, in this case the rich man has what he needs to create new businesses or reinvest in current businesses. Or charity. Not both. Why is his choice immoral?

In theory, if it's voluntary, every rich person could decide to give exactly no money each and every month.
Yup. That's exactly my position. If you don't want to help save the world, then there is absolutely no obligation enforced upon you to do so.
Just don't expect anyone else to consider you in any way, moral.
And this is what I am challenging.
Since your thread is about morality, why would you consider a rich man, who chooses not to give to charity, immoral? How do you know there aren’t other reasons why he made that choice? Why does it have to be immorality? He could be investing it, perhaps creating new businesses even. In this case he is simply participating in the market, not charity. He can’t afford the charity right now, even though he is rich. If he decided to give, he wouldn’t be able to create. By creating a business that will produce wages, and perhaps products that will make everyone’s life better, he is immoral? Why must he choose to do what *you* think he should do in order to be moral?
