Is all redone. 🙂
I'm particularly amused by the Top 20 Questions under Bible Answers. Surely the Bible has more pertinent issues to address than piercings, Halloween and the Stock Market, and coming in at #1, masturbation.

From that site:
2. Flee from and reject anything that aggravates this sin. For example, you may need to get off the Internet for a season or purchase software that blocks out pornography. This may sound too drastic, but it certainly is mild compared to Jesus who said, "If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body, than for your whole body to go into Hell" (Matthew 5:30). His point was that we must be willing to part with anything that causes us to sin—even if it hurts temporarily.

Is this site recommending that we cut off our penises if we cannot stop masturbating?
I will say this: I am impressed that the site actually recommends women in ministry
rather than the usual draconian 'women should be quiet in church' business.
I call attention to RBHILL about whether or not it is sinful to drink ANY alcoholic
beverages:
Is it sinful to drink wine? The answer to this question is that the wine itself is not sinful, because sin is in the heart of man and does not exist in any object of itself. It is the drunkenness and intoxication that comes about when a man drinks too much that causes him sin. The Bible teaches discipline and moderation; even eating too much food is a sin and is called the sin of gluttony in the Bible.
This must be a 'liberal' site for RBHILL! Even Jesus drank wine!
I love how the site demands that the faithful not get tattoos as per Leviticus 19:28
BUT doesn't demand that women have a ritual purification after childbirth as we see
in Leviticus 12. When Christians like this keep kosher, then I will give them heed
when they make demands out of Leviticus.

Yes, but it was spiritual wine. And a good vintage.

21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
In verse 23 Jesus says he never KNEW the person. So you see he wants to know you in a personal way not a religious way.

Do you feel that this site's presentation of material on alcohol is
not concordant with Jesus's wishes for His followers (that is, drinking
it in moderation is entirely permissible)?
Do you feel that the site's presentation on tattoos is reasonable?
Do the members of your church keep kosher and acknowledge the
impurity laws?

25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.What about stephen who had the floods and wind come and was stoned to death for his belief in Jesus.This shows that the house described is not what most people would think as it is a spiritual term which is used to describe the soul which lives on.He lost his temporary earthly house all the same....and great was the fall of it!His last words as he fell to his knees were"Lord do not hold this sin against them".That's a house built on a rock!
