Well, my 2 cents is that: Even though we are surrounded by people who love us, by those we trust, ultimately, this is a perfect example in putting one's trust in people and …

Eh, it was a joke. Anyway, Weird Al's version is my favorite.

I have to agree. People are overreacting. The only crime this 'music video' is guilty of is sucking. A bunch of no-talent hacks got together and decided to…
Usually with questions like this, I read others' explanations to them and in my head I think, "Eh." But I really like the one you gave, Remnkemi. It definitely helped a lot.

Zoxsasi, I do kind of see where you're coming from. But I do not think the problem is as major as you do, and I think a big part of it is that so many churches are in a "transition" period between a generation of immigrant Arabic speakers and the ge…
Unworthy1 and ilovejesus said it perfectly.
forgiveme,
I could not disagree more. In almost all cases, there is a definite right and wrong, and making that choice may draw you either closer or apart from God.

I'm doing more research now and I'm finding more evidence to suggest St. Paul's authorship.

If the phrase "modern-day" is the only thing keeping you guys from looking more into this, then chuck it. This has been questioned since the 3rd century. The basis of the doubts seems legitimate, so I think there should be a little more reinforcemen…

What other ones are contested? Hebrews seems to be the only one causing any controversy. I don't think anyone is out to take away his authorship to gain an advantage, and I can see why it's been brought up.

From what I see, HCSB seems to be a more modernized translation. It doesn't seem to be all that bad, but it's not fully Septuagint based, which should at least raise a caution flag.
People grossly underestimate how much time professional athletes have to put into their sport, even during their off-season. I'm not saying it's impossible or inherently wrong, but that it's more difficult than you might think.
I think a lot of sports can take you away from God simply because of how demanding they are time-wise. It's even worse if you're looking at something like the NFL, where the games are all played on Sunday.
Don't get me wrong, I can't even describe …
Well put, Unworthy 1.
