    I don’t think that’s accurate at all. There are Bible scholars who make it their life’s work to understand the oldest manuscripts of the Bible we have in the context they were written in. Many newer Bible versions have these blurbs in them that explain certain phrases exactly to avoid misunderstandings. It’s on you if you choose to stick to stuff like the King James’s version, I’d say.





  • Depends on the part of the world you live in. I’m that age and coworkers (!) constantly joke about having to find me a wife and find it a bit odd that I’m not even in a long-time relationship yet.

    I had this colleague a few years back who was 28-29 at the time, and people were bad-mouthing him because he wasn’t married, saying that something must be wrong with him. Societal pressure is very strong here.

    You wouldn’t believe this is happening in the EU, right?
