IMHO, one of the things that we have lost sight of in western culture, especially in the U.S., is the appreciation of pain as a holistic body function. Ex: If I go walking and get a stone in my shoe, I feel the pain and remove it. On the other hand, if I am bitten by a snake, spider, etc., I...

So I know, whosoever has showed you what they have, and has said what they have to you are lying to you, plain and simple. _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ Why are we focusing on human interactions, such one person telling another about scripture? Can you, or can you not, point to a scripture that...

Bingo! 2 cents? This is like the widow's offerring! Mark 12: 42-44. TY! :D And I am looking closely at some of the longer posts made in this thread recently. Church membership is a serious issue. I believe it deserves a thread of its own.

Thank you -- that is most wise. Oh, & Merry Christ-mas!

Posted by Raeneske, 17 December 2012 - 03:08 PM , The fact that God loves us all, did not stop Him from destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, and did not stop Him from giving people up to their unclean lusts, and will not stop Him from destroying those disobedient ones at the end of the 1000 years...

Well, I'm certain He will lead you through it successfully if you continue yielding your whole being to Him. Quote But how does any of this (the above 3 paragraphs) relate to gayness? or to any form of modern sexuality? First of all, there is nothing new under the sun. 'Modern sexuality'...

O.K., now, I have a website of my own. Is it O.K. to post a link to it (or even just the url) when it is pertinent to a discussion ? :)

On this site the left-justify function does not seem to work. Instead, I will post my responses with a series of "_/" as below to distinguish them from quotes. It will help to know who has said what. Using someone economically is not lust. _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ See my post above, Reply #...

dragonfly -- Posted 02 December 2012 - 03:06 PM We have to see at the well, that Jesus was in charge of the conversation from the start. That is a study in itself, which I do not wish to make in this thread, except to point out that the Samaritans were mainly idolaters. Could you start a...

"Ok, so how about women changing that which is natural to that which is unnatural? I suppose that is all FEM as well! " Since vss. 26 & 27 seem clearly (to me, anyway) to be in parallel, it would be difficult to suppose that there is an unseen influence in one and not the other. "Seriously...

What can we possibly make of the phrase, "the natural use of the woman?" Can it be that Paul, one of the most enlightened church leaders of the time, advocated one person using another? But, truly, I do not believe that Paul was writing in terms of modern dysfunctional theory. I would suppose...

What almost everyone seems to ignore about Rom 1: 18- 2: 1 is the cause-&-effect chain that runs throughout the passage. It is difficult for me to see sense in any reference to Rom 1: 26- 28 without asking, "who were the 'they,' the group of people referenced throuhout the passage ?" Correct...

I'm a newbie too. Do I need to start a new thread to intro myself? Doesn't it save the admins a little work to piggyback here?

Starting with the two passages from Leviticus, then: Leviticus 18: 22 & 20:13 As I understand the Torah, the first 5 books of the bible, they were originally a complete legal code covering virtually every aspect of life that the Hebrews might encounter in Canaan for (as we might say) the...
