FYI, "For Christ's sake" might be unusual and unfamiliar to you, but by itself is not an indicator of anything sinister. At most I might ask the person privately why they choose those words instead of "In Jesus' Name". :)

Others have given you good advice. Having been through a divorce (not my choice, and neither porn nor infidelity were factors) and counseling, I can offer some perspective. Firstly, you have justification to separate (you'll have to decide prayerfully for yourself whether you have a mandate to...

Likewise. :) You need to show that the source material for the ERV does contain elke to prove that the translators excluded "without a cause". It is an active condition. How does one become "just" or "righteous"? Certainly none are righteous on their own (Romans 3:10). Therefore the ERV...

Given that my refutation has nothing to do with "homework" or "facts", but rather with logic, your criticism is completely unfounded. Actually, there is no such verse, nor combination of verses, teaching such. There is only biased misinterpretation to that conclusion. Bias is almost...

The fundamental fallacy permeating your argument is the assumption that the meanings of words as used in the KJV are "correct" while other meanings, being different than the KJV interpretations, are "incorrect". In other words, you hold the KJV as having the standard definitions and anything...

Actually, that distinction is determined by genetic processes, which in turn are determined by God's design. The Bible tells us the facts but does not do the determining. ;)

The death penalty is the state’s God-ordained limit on a person’s sin. It has nothing in common with abortion… except perhaps that abortion practitioners deserve it.

Actually, that’s a misunderstanding of a poor translation. The Hebrew words translated “helper” are used elsewhere for God Himself. :)

Where in Scripture does it say that God “could not” write an imperfect law? Oh… it doesn’t! I guess you have to invent things the Bible doesn’t say in order to bolster your position… and limit God in the process.

Galatians 2:11-14 11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those...

Did I say ANYTHING about Adam and Eve? No. Don't be ridiculous.

Or, in other words, You have no scripturally sound argument left to present so you just make something up.

Um no, that's not what the Scripture says. There are two places where this idea is presented, and neither provides the supporting idea that there is a "prophetic sense" to the comparison. Further, the comparison is presented both ways and also linked to "a watch in the night" (a third length of...

No, you didn't, but you keep bleating about the Sabbath in a thread that you didn't start. You're hijacking the thread. Just stop.

You're arguing about an unrelated issue. Get off it. Paul instructed the Corinthians to set aside something every FIRST day of the week, not every Sabbath. That's Scripture, so don't try to argue that he meant the Sabbath when he didn't write "the Sabbath".

Hello and Welcome to CC! I have been through one "church split" personally, and left two other congregations over doctrinal differences. In the split, I was saddened to watch a formerly-well-respected older pastor act like a complete tyrant (short of the angry rants and yelling) in an attempt...

Like I said... you're free to do as you see fit.

The argument of viability = personhood fails miserably when you consider that a great many post-birth persons are non-viable on their own. If we take the viability position to its logical conclusion, then it is merely "abortion of a non-viable mass of cells" to refuse life support for those who...

He specified the first day of the week for a specific offering for a non-local need. Because the context is clearly about an offering for a specific non-local need, the details of the instruction cannot be considered prescriptive for all offerings in all congregations at all times. The context...

More hogwash. The commandments given to men were intended for men, and Scripture gives no warrant to "spiritualize" them for women. Similarly, commandments given to women were intended for women, and there is no scriptural warrant to "spiritualize" them for men. Men weren't ceremonially...
