    How does a Christian keep the Sabbath Holy?

    Yes I think it was the beginning of the Omer count. My point was that we can't assume every time the KJV says "First day of the week" that it is saying "First of the sabbaths" (people think the translators added the "day" in there to promote Sunday, when most of these references are "supposed...

    How does a Christian keep the Sabbath Holy?

    I've looked into this (about the first day of the week meaning the first of the sabbaths) and I don't think it holds water because of places like this: John 20:1 "The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from...

    Courtship...Broken Courtship

    I'd say the biggest thing is making sure I seek God and feel comfortable BEFORE I even get into another courtship. Actually I'd want my parents to know him pretty well and my dad to have plenty of conversations before anything starts. Another thing that I wish we would've done differently is...

    So what is the reason you're not married Mr. John?

    Yeah I think it was probably best. And it was probably big enough to live on its own.

    I was mistaken about my siblings finding it, my dad said he found it in the cool cell of one of the chicken barns and he showed my siblings. I think it would've been kind of cool to raise it, but also they don't look like the most energetic pets from one video I saw.:) Hopefully he got away...

    I'm sorry to hear that about your dad. That would be really hard to see that happen.

    Thanks for the info! It's not a tiny baby at all. It's at least the size of a large rat im thinking. So I think it'll be easier to take care of. Once last fall my little sister found a tiny tiny baby flying squirrel that we tried to raise but it died after a few days. :(

    Courtship...Broken Courtship

    We actually neither one were part of a denomination, but his family left the Amish years ago and still hold to much of the lifestyle. The other friends I mentioned had similar backgrounds too.

    Amen I love that! I know what you mean about realizing you can be happy without being married. I've had that realization too and it is indeed liberating.

    Honest question....why don't churches teach the best way to avoid fornication is to get married?

    Many of those seem to be pretty wise standards. Paul said it is better for a man not to touch a woman, and I know from experience even little things like holding hands can really attach you to that person...but what if you don't get married? I truly don't believe it's God's plan for people to...

    Honest question....why don't churches teach the best way to avoid fornication is to get married?

    Him saying his book is wrong doesn't really make or break it for me whether the purity movement is wrong. Cuz look where he is. You can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Maybe I should ask you to clarify what exactly is the purity movement? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the...

    Honest question....why don't churches teach the best way to avoid fornication is to get married?

    But not near the only reason. So what is wrong with the purity movement? I know that Josh Harris went off the deep end away from Christ but weren't many of the principles he used to promote actually pretty sound?
