    When an 80-Year-Old Man Dies and Leaves Behind His 60-Year-Old Wife, Who Will Take Care of Her?

    When I read about Jesus saying 'in my father's house are many mansions' I wonder...is he talking about giant apartment blocks so we all living like bees or maybe wasps in Heaven? Each of us has a cell... We don't have to worry about home maintenance then.... And the other thing is, since we...

    When an 80-Year-Old Man Dies and Leaves Behind His 60-Year-Old Wife, Who Will Take Care of Her?

    I'm not the one running the country I just live here. Telling our politicians and getting them to act on anything is an exercise in futility. Education and tourism were bringing money in (and real estate) but of course that depends on foreign buyers. Besides, who wants to buy kiwifruit when if...

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    interesting catholic viewpoint I didnt know they called it the 'deformation' instead of the 'reformation'. Maccabees and books of Wisdom, Judith, Tobit and Sirach are not in KJV. Catholics have them because they believe in purgatory and it talks about that, even though other scripture...

    Would you date/marry someone from a different generation than you?

    basically if you date or marry someone old enough to be your parent or child. Ok dating you dont always know as dating is just restricted to the time you spend together on dates. But marriage is something else since it is meant to be for life. There will be problems when it comes to retirement...

    Would you date/marry someone from a different generation than you?

    I think generation in the Bible meant lineage NOT what people are now doing which is sort people into different age categories. THIS generation was meaning, the Jews or all those descended from Judah. It wasnt really meaning people of a certain age group. They would then say everyone else...

    Would you date/marry someone from a different generation than you?

    I once asked if we could plant a vineyard at church or even any plants and the pastor at the time said no they wanted to turn whatever land the church had into a giant carpark. so instead of having grapes we have parking tickets.

    When an 80-Year-Old Man Dies and Leaves Behind His 60-Year-Old Wife, Who Will Take Care of Her?

    In China there are huge numbers of 'leftover' women. In NZ the problem we have is 'the brain drain' which generally means young brainy people left NZ to work overseas because the opportunities in NZ are pretty zilch. And this was when I was growing up..the only work that you might be guaranteed...

    When an 80-Year-Old Man Dies and Leaves Behind His 60-Year-Old Wife, Who Will Take Care of Her?

    thats an interesting question Seoul Initial thoughts are they must have had children who would be old enough to look after them (as thats what adult children are meant to do) but I hadn't thought of scenario where they don't have children. I've worked in retirement villages so generally widows...

    How Would YOU Handle Being Unequally YOLKED?

    I use the eggshells on the garden, crush them up and sprinkle them. I don't eat the shells. Maybe some people do? Though that would be new for me, if someone cracked their egg and crushed it and put it in their omelette. Or just ate their boiled egg with the shell. I would then suspect they...

    Do you think finding a spouse is more difficult now than in the past?

    God doesn't command anyone to date or marry but if He did for you personally, then surely He would have arranged it. It's usually the parents who arrange or pressure their offspring to marry. Paul did tell young widows to remarry, probably so they wouldn't become a burden to others in the...

    How Would YOU Handle Being Unequally YOLKED?

    Don't kill your golden goose or hen and you'll always have eggs. Of course men don't have their own eggs. It's a lady thing.

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    KJV is referring to OT in those instances of quoting scripture. Its not referring to itself (KJV) . The only time a KJV bible references itself would be in the preface or if its a cross-referenced KJV Bible with scripture refs in the margins, or it has added commentaries. Having a complete KJV...

    Biblical view on vacations?

    The Exodus was the biggest vacation in the Bible. Thousands of Hebrews left their work in Egypt to go on big camping trip to the promised land. God really wanted them to go on holiday so they could worship Him.

    Would you date/marry someone from a different generation than you?

    I didn't realise CC singles was such a meat market. Still. I don't know why I even post in it. I mean I should really be posting in miscellaneous because to be a Christian and miscellaneous is meant to be more spiritual than, say, celibacy, which some christians actually practice.

    So yea, it's all about the nudity right? Looking good without any clothes on. Be honest.

    Would you date/marry someone from a different generation than you?

    Michal didn't sleep with David when he went round naked dancing. Or maybe it was the other way round, because she disapproved of him. So what happened was David perved at Bathesheba who was naked in the bathtub and went with her despite her already being married. There was a whole drama about...

    Would you date/marry someone from a different generation than you?

    Or...find someone so boring, that they talk all the time, and then you'll fall asleep with them. If it's an older generation, they might already have children who are closer age to you than you are to them. I find that off putting, especially for say, the daughter. Oh dad's going out with...

    Would you date/marry someone from a different generation than you?

    men are strange lets face it seoul What you should do is get cryogenically frozen or just start lying about your age. You may get in trouble with the IRD or whatever, but men don't care. They just want a younger woman, despite them getting older everyday that passes. If you could just stay a...

    Would you date/marry someone from a different generation than you?

    I think wives often don't sleep with their husbands because they snore. I mean really bad.
