@timps I know we left off with evidence. It seems that a lot has happened in this thread since I last posted...this may not fit any more. This is just a base with how scripture interacts with this a bit. NOTE: Scripture itself (the words) not THE Word necessarily from my perspective as I am...

Yeah I'm uncertain, sometimes you get threads where people hardly interact and then forget about them. I've forgotten about threads myself for months ;) Maybe they had legitimate intent maybe not, it's hard to tell without them responding. I try to do my best on here to give the benefit of the...

The question was "How often should I sacrifice a beast to appease God" ...The propitiation nullified that for believers, thus my reply. This is why you are seeing the responses in this thread as such. Of course we are trying to engage why this person is asking this when Christ's sacrifice and...

Yes that worked @timps it gave me a notification at the top right of the screen. I'm working on the post, about halfway done but it's going to be a bit scattered ;)

Okie doke. Well just let me know if you want to private message. It may be beneficial for additional interaction, not sure. Also I'm just going to read the thread, you don't have to quote me since I'll be paying more attention than usual. Just @Mii or something and put the post number you are...

No I totally feel ya on the format. I can PM if you'd like. Forums have their pros and cons for sure. Sometimes I like writing/typing because I can think a little harder on something but it does move "slower" and is more difficult to keep track of when you have a lot of people interacting. I'm...

Err, from what I think you added, was this all for the two posts? Again, not trying to be exasperating. A believer would most likely tell you that their relationship with God is quite real much like emotions. Whether it is on the same level is probably not accurate. Consider precognition...

That's pretty difficult to see. You can do something like this and then paste the quote again In order to make it clear which sections you are responding to. Just copy the first quote thing "quote="mii... etc and then the words ad then ( ) like this Because I didn't see anything on the...

You do realize @timps that you are just quoting me with no response right? You can type your text beneath the quote or you can @Mii and that works just as well.

That's a point that's been made before and I feel that it holds water to an extent. It should be considered along with accountability. There is a theme in scripture that you are responsible for what you know. The more you see and the more you know, the more responsibility/culpability you have...

That's too simplified if you are seeking answers. Wind cannot be "seen" neither can emotion (excluding manifestations of emotion). A person visible shaking from anger or crying from pain/happiness/pleasure is a manifestation and not the emotion itself. Suppose you had a group of people that...

Well I learned what MSM means in this thread lol For some reason I thought it was referring to MSNBC or MSN but the distinction between those two is unclear. A book on news outlets would be pretty nice. What makes a good article and what doesn't. If I were a professor I might break down a...

So what did you find within Leviticus as it is pretty clear when the Israelites were to sacrifice. You do understand this is a Christian forum right?

You are not your own you were bought with a price... Testing the Lord is serious. I agree with the second post, where would you like to go with this? It's a sensitive topic and should be handled with care.

Focus on the family has some resources for these types of situations if you don't have any local options. I have lately been a lot more direct when asking for help/advice and I had one person be honest that he did not know. It could be that generalized advice is helpful to you and you...

What is the purpose of this discussion? I just read the whole thread and looking at how one can get away with oppression legally in the current system I don't understand advocacy for this type of system. Operating within it in the narrow confines of Christianity is "probably" possible, I would...

This is another matter that I have some questions about. The lending/loan laws for Israelites seems entirely reasonable for a Christ follower to adopt. Obviously a good bit of comparisons would need to be drawn for a modern day world and how that would translate but it doesn't seem "too" large...

Well it's good to see mods are active. Surprised someone put that up on this site. Welcome though @SamuelRajuIndia let us know if there's any help you require in navigating the bulk of threads on this site :)

See this is where it gets frustrating for me. I seek consensus and agreement in the body...if I take that approach I am saying that we aren't ever going to be in one accord until Jesus returns. I suppose that is a possibility but my mind/heart are NOT made up that this will necessarily be the...

I am curious if anyone thinks the two are simultaneously at odds with each other and you have to discern the difference and walk accordingly. I think I've seen some say that this is pre-conversion in Romans 7 and converted in Romans 8 but contextually that doesn't make sense to me. Any thoughts?
