Cultural Interaction pt2
In a previous introductory thread we began to explore to what extent if any are Christians duty bound to interact with and possibly change the culture .

In his introduction, pastor Bryan Ross asserted: "It is not productive for King James Bible Believers to assert things which can easily be proven inconsistent by further comprehensive study of the historical and textual... -
