You do realize you come across like the guy the Christian extremist stereotype is based on, don't you? Most of us can totally agree on the no sex outside of marriage thing and those of us who have tried dating have found how difficult it can be to find someone who's likeminded on that. But that's not the part that Lynx was considering arrogant.
Rather it's your whole I already know the truth and what I believe is Biblical and true no matter that the majority of the world is convinced that these are crackpot theories. And you take them to such an extreme. So in answer to your extreme beliefs (which many of us consider extremely ridiculous):
Man if only you went with the Wycliffe version. Everyone knows that the King James was far too influenced by politics to be considered a real Bible. The Wycliffe version is the only true version of the Bible (which is of course in English the best language ever even if it's not the language Jesus, the disciples, or any of the early church fathers who were hammering out the theology for early christianity spoke).
Also the longest standing lie since even the ancient greeks figured that the earth was round and made a pretty good estimate (or at least close to what all those modern scientitsts say is correct) of the size based off of shadow lengths and a little trigonometry. And it's really hard for me to believe the earth is flat since I've flown around it twice. Perpetuating a round earth lie in the age of our global connectedness would just be more trouble than it's worth.
Who or what is TGP? What about the other 49 states? And then there's that whole popular vote vs electoral college thing people like to argue about in every close election. Speaking of which, what about the 2000 election? I mean that one went on for a month legitimately debating the counts for Florida and all the chads hanging out.
So one rejected study (what do the pros say about why it was rejected) is proof but all the other data available is incorrect / irrelevant? Wasn't there something about science needed to be repeatable in that whole scientific method thing? Isn't that why they do studies in the first place? Also if poison was the intent it's either super slow acting or else a not very poisonous poison at all, just look at all the people who took it and are doing fine, which in no way negates those who took it and suddenly developed medical issues that their doctors can't explain; there's just a wide gap between designed to do intentional harm and collateral damage.
Why do I get the feeling that this is an invitation to ask you questions for more information, but not questions that challenge your existing conclusions? I've really got just one; how do you determine which sources of information are trustworthy and telling you something true and which are spinning facts harder than an industrial heavy duty washing machine?
Which I've always found an odd interpretation of Jesus interpretation of the part of God's law that allowed divorce since that's like literally what divorce was for, to let someone go back into the dating pool and date and marry someone else.
Interesting because I can think of a Bible verse about remaining single because of the present crisis but I can't think of one about trying not to have children (I'm not sure I can think of anything negative the Bible says about having children) because of your circumstances. But then again the option to have such control over children or not in a marriage is less than 100 years old. So is this a Biblical attitude or a modern attitude? Wouldn't all those reasons also make it maybe not the best time or place to get married now either?
So if we put all this together, are you really saying you're looking for an inexperienced virgin Christian hottie who shares all of your rather fringe even in the Chrsitian community beliefs? All I can say to that is I admire your faith in miracles.
Now what aspects of the Prov 31 woman is she supposed to embody: great sewing skills, providing scarlet clothing, planting vineyards, ability to judge and buy fields? And yes I think you've created a great filter, any woman with an ounce of discernment will stay away. Hopefully that's enough questions for you. Bottom line is if you're going to come out of the gate with such extreme fringe views that the majority of the population either knows are wrong or thinks yeah some things look suspicious but there are much simpler explanations or insufficient evidence to say such an extreme view is the only possible truth, then people are going to think you're crazy and not want to get involved with you.
