The Bible is being revised by conservatives who think it has gotten too liberal. Conservatives have decided to edit out the liberal parts.
That’s the inspiration behind the Conservative Bible Project, which seeks to take the text back to its supposed right-wing roots.
Does a conservative bible help ALL of the people?
At the end of Revelations says that the Bible shall not be altered so I guess that they are really going to pi$$ their God off.

I’ve been searching for differences between the two types of architectural styles but I can’t find anything I can actually understand and I was wondering if someone could explain, simply, what are the main differences between Orthodox Churches and Catholic Churches except for the whole standing and sitting thing.
Thank you in advance!
Eastern Orthodox Churches have:
- domes
- iconostasises
- no sculptures
- are always built on the plan of circle, cross or square

Is yoga an orthodox division of Hinduism from the beginning?
Or yoga originally had nothing to do with Hinduism, but has been absorbed in Hinduism later?
It has been argued that Sankhya (enumeration, or ‘count’) and Yoga may have had their earliest origins in the Indus valley civilization. Yoga refers to a separate philosophical school or darshana, but it is also used in a wider sense to describe different methods of self-control and meditation in Hinduism.
The Yoga school of thought relies on Sankhya metaphysics and uses as its basic text the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, dating from teh 2nd century before Christ. Yoga differs from Sankhya in that it emphasises specific practices for the attainment of liberation and introduces the Lord, Ishvara, as an object of devotion. He is presented as a specially exalted sould which has never been enmeshed in matter, a methodical help and meditational focus for the seeker. The final goal of Yoga, however, is not union with him but isolation of the soul.
The practices of Yoga may be very ancient – a figure seated cross-legged can be seen on some of the Mohenjo Daro seals from the Indus valley. The Yoga school has developed carefully graded phsical and spiritual exercises which in modified form have become part of many schools of Hinduism.

Hi there. I would just like know,-in simple english and simple terms if possible, as im not christian some of the terms might be confusing – what is the significance and procedure for a normal sunday mass for the Catholic Church. Im doing inter cultural communication assignment of this and would be grateful for any help that you can provide. I just need to know why the mass is significant to Catholic Christians and the procedure for the mass and its duration.
Many thanks in advance.
The Mass:
• Is the principal sacramental celebration of the Catholic Church
• Was established by Jesus at the Last Supper
• Renews the mystery of our salvation through participation in the sacrificial death and glorious resurrection of Christ
In the Mass, we:
• Gather as one family
• Admit our sins, ask God for forgiveness, and the saints and each other for prayer and support
• Glorify God
• Listen to, ponder and reflect on His Word from the Scriptures
• Pray for the Church, the world, those in need, and ourselves
• Celebrate the Eucharist (Holy Communion) in obedience with Christ’s command to "do this in memory of me."
• Are sent out into the world to love and serve the Lord and one another
It is called "Mass" (from the Latin missa) because of the "mission" or "sending" with which the liturgical celebration concludes.
Here is an outline of the Mass:
• Introductory Rites
. • Entrance (All stand)
. • Greeting
. • Act of Penitence
. • Kyrie Eleison (Latin for "Lord have mercy")
. • Gloria
. • Opening Prayer
• Liturgy of the Word
. • First Reading – usually from the Old Testament (All sit)
. • Responsorial Psalm
. • Second Reading – usually from a New Testament Epistle
. • Gospel Reading (All stand)
. • Homily (All sit for the sermon)
. • Profession of Faith (the Nicene Creed) (All stand)
. • Prayer of the Faithful (prayers of petition)
• Liturgy of the Eucharist
. • The Preparation of the Gifts – the bread and wine are brought forward and placed on the altar, our monetary offerings are also collected at this time (All sit)
. • The Prayer over the Offerings (All stand)
. • The Eucharistic Prayer – during this prayer the bread and wine change into the Body and Blood of Christ (Catholics kneel, visitors may kneel or sit)
. • The Lord’s Prayer (All stand)
. • The Rite of Peace (We offer each other a sign of peace)
. • The Breaking of the Bread
. • Communion – non-Catholics are requested out of respect not to receive Communion, they may approach the altar with their arms crossed over their chest to receive a blessing (Stand or kneel according to local custom)
• The Concluding Rites
. • Announcements (All sit)
. • Blessing (All stand)
. • Dismissal
. • Procession

With love in Christ.

I am having a hard time finding verses in one bible that are conflicting in another because of translation differences. I was wondering for some specifics because the bible is just to big to pick are random verse and hope it is different in another.
anything from the message bible will be butchered from any other translation.
there are textual variants present in some bibles that favor the byzantine text rather than the Alexandrian
such as 1 John 5:7 in the KJV vs the NASB
