Some things are not explained in detail because it is written to a people who would already understand certain details of daily life and cluture at the time it was written. Taking a wife included the elaborate ceremonies, written contracts and even financial exchanges in every culture but in...

Read commentaries by Gordon Fee, FF Bruce. They are a good start. But really there is no argument about it among evangelic, scholars who adhere to the inspiration of scripture. No one is presenting any papers in academic circles to argue that homosexual sin as we know it between two men was...

It does not seem that you have experience the pure life. Christians men can be repulsed by the site of a naked supermodel. They can find a bikini clad model repulsive and offensive because they love holiness and righteousness and are not attracted to those who behave immodestly. The FIRST...

YES!!! Squirrels taste good cooked on a stick over a flame. And there are always squirrels. And get one of those lifestraws. You'll survive.

We should continue to preach the word of Gospel which included the message of judgment to come. Several examples from Paul, Peter, and John when preaching the Gospel included this message of Jesus coming back to be judge of the just and the unjust. It was even included in Paul's presentation...

Most bible believing Christians have probably never heard of them.

Many have gone back to sins they were once freed from. They claim that they still believe. But that is only when you corner them and ask them. They don't give anyone any indication that they are believers and they are in bondage to the sins they were once freed from. There are many who...

The only way to decide if FB was right or wrong about deleting a post is to examine the post in question. Some posts could result in someone believing it and dying. I personally do not think that Trump should run for president again, I think he is not the best choice, there has got to be...

We all have the right to vote with our pocketbook. Seems like you took a stand against a company you don't want to support. Good for you. I think when enough people choose to boycott a company and their bottom line is affected they will reconsider their methods of doing business. I deleted...

I was not talking about you personally but anyone in general who gets upset when FB deletes antivaccine and conspiracy theories that foment hate and harm and crazy thinking. That might not even apply to what you were talking about, it was just something I added to help those who are falling...

Nearly 4000 years ago in a culture quite different. I don't think it was weird to them at that time. In Early American History when the colonies spread west through Kentucky and beyond this was very common. Deep in the wilderness carving out a living, people soon found limited options. An...

Can't you just leave ungodly groups and unfriend ungodly people and unfollow church friends that post dumb stuff but you want to keep as friends? That seems to work for me. I don't get posts about antivaccine, conspiracy theories, or political vents because I unfollow those people who like to...

Good verse, because in Luke he specifically says ask, seek, knock and how much more is the Father willing to give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him.

Yes, I think I agree with what you are communicating. I am fully persuaded through sound hermeneutics that Paul was describing his life as a Pharisee in Rom 7, who had an intense desire and interest in doing God's will but discovered a law in his members that made him prone to sin, and Paul is...

Fair enough. What is your opinion about seeking an experience at the "altar" of the Holy Spirit sanctifying one completely. Having an experience whereby you have been changed and made more sanctified than you were before you began the seeking process in prayer on your knees? It is not a...

Good point, and I guess we have to keep defining what we mean by "Good Marriage." To me a "Good Marriage" is one that you enjoy. Just enduring each other and not divorcing for 50 years was not my point. Many have a testimony of how they put up with lots of grief and did not divorce but I...

Your explanation of the doctrine of entire sanctification is one that has rescued that doctrine presented in the 1800s and which swept the country but fell out of favor. You have modified it to fit a more reasonable explanation because the original doctrine was unsupportable. The claims of...

Since this Mikvah immersion tradition seems to have started in the 1st century it would not make sense that Jesus was referring to this. It is far more likely that Jesus was telling Nicodemus that he should know the scriptures well enough to be able to think of some OT passages that prophesied...

ankagirl's inbox is filling up with marriage proposals. :cool:

Sodomy is in our laws and it is a perfectly good term since we all know what it means. I don't really care how it started, it communicates. It communicates well, without being too descriptive, which is not appropriate. Therefore to say what we all know Sodomy means in more descriptive...
