    Did Jesus say that adultery is grounds for divorce? - Nope.

    The bed sheet from the bridal chamber.....but the rest of it.....talk about reading something into a scripture. Fornication is not a biblical word. The road to Damascus is Interstate I-44 God Bless. Be good and do good.

    Did Jesus say that adultery is grounds for divorce? - Nope.

    Deuteronomy 22:16-18 16 Her father will say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now he has slandered her and said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.’ But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.” Then her parents shall display the...

    Did Jesus say that adultery is grounds for divorce? - Nope.

    I do not know how many times I have explained this. Yeshua could not have differentiate between adultery and fornification because nothing like fornication is in the scriptures....why do you think I said that fornication is not a biblical word? The scriptures! Look at the actual scriptures and...

    Did Jesus say that adultery is grounds for divorce? - Nope.

    Fornication should not be part of the discussion.... It is not a biblical word.....not in the scriptures. It is a 4th century Latin word associated with the Greek word porniea which is associated with prostitutes. But fornication has definitions that do not relate to the scriptures or reality...

    Adultery vs Fornication

    As they say, you hit the nail on the head....exactly right. Religiously and civilly......In most countries even if you have a wedding ceremony, if you do not have sex you can get the marriage annulled. The union consummates the marriage.

    Adultery vs Fornication

    I guess you did not read the posts....Read post 15 But you are absolutely right.....People under estimate the seriousness of the sin of casual sex and its ramifications.... the sins that follow. No respect for them and no respect for yourself.....just using another person for your...

    Adultery vs Fornication

    So, to marry someone scripturally is simply engaging in sexual intercourse with them....and staying with them in a marriage.

    Adultery vs Fornication

    I am not going to insult you for your lack of knowledge. It is very simple. There is no reason to use a word that does not fit what is actually in the scriptures. Fornication is not a biblical word. Nothing in the scriptures can be accurately translated to fornication or its definitions. I am a...

    Adultery vs Fornication

    Yea know that huge ball of twine in Ripley’s believe it or not. For a Theologian a lot of Christian beliefs are like that, and it is our responsibility to unravel that ball of twine. An informed Christian can apply Christianity to their life in a better way. Looking at the posts I have seen a...

    Now when you send your daughters to school she maybe forced to share restrooms, dressing rooms, showers with males at all ages.

    Did Jesus say that adultery is grounds for divorce? - Nope.

    So what are some of the ramifications of all of this?….It means….That the common belief that two single people having sex is a sin….is false. It is not a sin as long as they remain together. Which means…men and women should only have sex with one person in their lifetime….and when they do, it...

    Did Jesus say that adultery is grounds for divorce? - Nope.

    The History of Marriages in Christianity Short answer....casual sex is a sin worse than most Christian know. Now for the long answer....get a cup of coffee and get comfortable.... I call my ministry the Johnny Appleseed of Truth….So truth is the focus and exposing false beliefs is my top...

    Did Jesus say that adultery is grounds for divorce? - Nope.

    It is trying to promote things that are false. False religious beliefs and false reality. There is nothing in the scriptures that can be translated to fornication and it was a word that had evolving definitions after the 4th century. In the 4th century it was a word that came from the Latin...

    Did Jesus say that adultery is grounds for divorce? - Nope.

    20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her...

    Did Jesus say that adultery is grounds for divorce? - Nope.

    Now the reason that Jesus lists "fornication".........as a reason for divorce.... Christ could not have listed fornication......LOL It is not a biblical word, it is a 4th century scam.

    Yes, Jesus meant TODAY in his message to the thief on the cross

    And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.” Luke 23:43 Not a lot here. But then what can we glean from what is said. First off, when Christ says truly….that mean really…. actually…this is not a parable or hypothetical. Secondly, He said today….so he meant...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    The scriptures never put an end to polygamy or concubinage and it is a historical fact that Jewish-Christians practiced them for a while and the Jews practiced them for nearly a millennium after the biblical era. The discussion on divorce in the Gospels reflect on some of this. Christ was...

    AN ANALYSIS OF GOD'S MISSION OF SALVATION

    Moving on to the Apostle Paul and his ministry to the Gentiles The word Gentile has some broad definitions.....Non-Jew.....Pagan....Pagan converts to Christianity. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago— whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—...

    AN ANALYSIS OF GOD'S MISSION OF SALVATION

    The same is true of the Godhead, which is made up of three Gods, but if there would have been a hundred named Gods that talked with each other and did all the above, the Church would have labeled them all one in order to get their theology to work and to say there is only one God. Certainly...

    AN ANALYSIS OF GOD'S MISSION OF SALVATION

    Now for reasoning and scriptures…. 1. If Christ’s throne is on the right hand of God, He is not within God and that position although important is second to God the Father. Mark 16:19 “So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into Heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.”...
