" The Bible teaches "

Which translation of which books?

I watched an old scholar once attend a biblical diatribe at MSU - he listened to the lecture for a while, then called BS. "I have a copy, in the original..."

"That word does not mean what you think it means..."

Funny, how words change things.

Let the little kids have fun.

The Bible is consistent. It doesn't not contradict itself. It doesn't say don't dress up in a costume and go trick-or-treating. It does say not to join in the world's celebration of sin, where it does.
