But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. - James 3:17

As far as "pretending" most people seem to until they get to know you enough to love you. Prior to that they are kind, but not as open as they would with a close friend. The kindness they show is genuine if they are good people, but it's not the deeper feelings of friends either. All...

Lifetime hobby is photography, and also I got into Photoshop and photo manipulation (as art)... I have completely stopped now because of cataracts, and will return once I have eye surgery. Cooking/Baking is my first love, my happy place. :) I do themed baked goods gift baskets during the...

technically, according to Scripture, adultery is the only cause for divorce listed. It may have not been brought up in Scripture because Jewish men aren't abusive in nature? I don't know but abuse was never brought up in Scripture. Real abuse occurs, I am disabled for life at the hand of my...

I've read the last couple posts of yours in this thread and they're very good... It's seems a positive way to handle people who are divorced. I am divorced and have since remarried (although I divorced prior to being saved) and know my current marriage is absolutely blessed by God. Everyone...

My son is not Christian so know I'm only using him as an example. My son's age is 37. He is single/never married because he has/had specific requirements in a wife. She must be a devoted wife, monogamous, born in the US, not a religious fanatic just normal (faith is fine but not overboard with...

It's a good possibility that in telling your husband you'll destroy your marriage for good. That's just honest, because it's adultery plain and simple and marriages almost never get through that. Your guilt should stop you from ever doing such a thing again, and yes, it's better that you stay...

I feel the need to honestly speak to this. The verse you have above quoted condones the beating of wives. There is nothing in the Bible that even remotely condones such a thing. When I was married to my former husband, we were both very good Muslims. When I had a problem I went to the Imam...

I find no need to pick at scripture until I can convince myself it says all I prefer to hear...

Okay, continue on then... I didn't know and I'm sorry for that.

Generally speaking conservative Christians view the Bible quite - conservatively.

You do understand I AM a woman yes? Lol. What I'm not is a liberal. I'm conservative in my views. Here's a nice article: https://www.gotquestions.org/wives-submit.html

To add - when God says " will" as in " the man will have x" then that is God revealing what he has implemented. Whether it's intended to be a punishment or a blessing, it's God's revealed world order. Specifically in Eve's case, she clearly needed a check on her own will, seeing as she was...

What do you believe words like submission and rule mean? Submission means the action or fact of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the will or authority of another person. Rule means (noun) control of or dominion over an area or people. And (verb) exercise ultimate power or...

If an idea is "bad", (whatever that means) then it's based in something. The correct course of action is to sit in conversation slash discussion with someone and get to the heart of the matter, and debunk any falsehoods held. It is NOT, and I repeat not to ridicule and mock a person for...

But who is running around teaching we are devoid of any responsibility towards God? I've never seen, neither as a Christian nor as a non-Christian, anyone say that we can do anything whatsoever and still get to heaven... Just because some lie about their position in Christ, or others may...

Actually, the law under the Old Covenant was more than 10. There were in excess of 600 laws that had to be followed. It is the whole of the 600+ we call "the law" - not 10.

... When most people say " we are no longer under the law" they are referring to the law of the Mosaic Covenant. This is not to say "lawless" however. It simply means the Mosaic law no longer applies under the New Covenant. If adultery, murder, etc was an offense that invited God's wrath...

When we stand before God (as Christians) we stand in the righteousness of Christ and not our own righteousness. We are "covered" in the blood such that His righteousness becomes our own, and our unrighteousness simply ceases to exist as we are translated into glory and put on that which is...

Here's my thoughts... (if anyone wants them. I'm a talkative sort. Haha) It's a command of God that we bless Him. Not a suggestion. A command. And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land he has given you Deuteronomy 8:10. In Hebrew to bless (often...
