Spirituality: Curious about Christianity?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Taxi, we'd rather walk. Huddle a doorway with the rain dogs

Interpretation is certainly an issue, but I'm not sure what you mean about me cherry-picking scriptures. Any examples?
THE interpretation, Stroppy. The Bible can be interpreted in many ways, ways which we, and you choose to interpret to suit your set of choice life beliefs.

I still stand strong when i say IMO treading and interpreting what is written in the Bible DOES NOT equate in any way, shape or form a truly divine/spiritual experience, whatsoever.

Q: jealousy is universally seen as negative. Why is Dog then jealous? I thought his agents claimed he was perfect?

No Dogs were harmed in the making of this fairy tale.
