    Chris Rosebrough—Pirate Christian or Pirate?

    Which makes you a doubter. God is able to do anything, even break all of our rules if He wants to.

    I wish GOD had made match making easier and not guess work

    Lemmee tell a story. There once was a guy who griped because he was upset with the life he had. When he told his story to others, some thought it would be a good time to voice their own gripes because he was doing it. Others thought they could be one to help him thru his problems, but it didn't...

    There was a time when we heard people say"We need to do away with pictures of Jesus on the cross because He's risen & no longer there. Back then I agreed. But you know what happened to those that did? They quit thinking about Jesus on the cross dying for their sins & started thinking about...

    I wish GOD had made match making easier and not guess work

    Proverbs 22:15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him. There's no better rod than God's. Brethren, I think only God's rod can handle this situation. ;)

    I wish GOD had made match making easier and not guess work

    It has been my understanding that when people find problems with the way God does things, it's usually because of the measure they've received from Him due to their rebellion of His teachings. Did I say that simple enough? Not trying to offend, but disagreements with God have only gotten me in...

    Chris Rosebrough—Pirate Christian or Pirate?

    We all have to be careful. We can preach the right things the wrong way, preach wrong things the right way(usually because of ignorance), as well as preach wrong things the wrong way. The Bible teaches to expose false teachers/preachers, but if we cause more harm than good with wrong motives &...

    Did you ever consider the possibility that God hasn't sent a righteous woman to you is because it wouldn't be right to her?

    I wish GOD had made match making easier and not guess work

    What I see is that you want to change everything about God's plan you don't like. If you've never been married, there's usually a reason, & since you're older than most it's likely you.

    Interesting comment about Joseph ruling in Egypt

    If it wasn't part of God's plan, it wouldn't have been written in the Book.

    Interesting comment about Joseph ruling in Egypt

    Actually you did. 1. Joseph got all his ability & wisdom from God. 2. God never chastized Joseph for this, otherwise it also would be in the narrative. 3. In judging Joseph's 'harshness' with the Egyptians, You judged the Lord who led him to do so. You're disputing with so many you can't keep...

    Appointing Elders/Bishops from Within the Congregation

    Mark 10:42And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,d 44and...

    Appointing Elders/Bishops from Within the Congregation

    I will withold my answer till I research further. Looking at what the Catholic church did with Bishop, making it an office when it wasn't, & giving it a seat of authority which is directly against scripture, I don't believe the church of England did any better.

    Interesting comment about Joseph ruling in Egypt

    I believe we forgot the scripture: James 5:9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. Luke 6:37 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven...
