In his address to widows in Corinthians, he advises them to remain unmarried as he is. He is identifying with the widowed. There was a strong emphasis on marriage in those days, i.e. under Roman law, if one was not married by age 26, they would lose all rights of inheritance. I am not sure how...

Yeah, there is a shortage of priests these days. I recall reading that there is such a shortage in many parts of Brazil, that parish priests only visit once a month.

Still . . . you are not able to supply a Scriptural reference to such a covenant. There are only two Covenants in Scripture: the Old and the New.

The Apostle Paul was definitely married; an essential qualification for his position in the Sanhedrin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews.

Tell me about this mosaic covenant. I have never heard of it. Where do you find it in Scripture? Reference??

It seems that He only established authority in Christ Jesus: For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Timothy 2:5 Sorry, but Moses was never included in such a role. He was just a servant; not a mediator!

"He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination." That refers to the dichotomy of those who reject God and His Word, and then pray?? But He promises that those who seek Me will find me, and of course He hears the sinners prayer. To say that God does not...

"It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do. An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, skillful in teaching, 3not overindulging in wine, not a...

The Bible does not say "don't get drunk on wine". Quite the opposite: Give strong drink to him who is perishing, And wine to him whose life is bitter. Let him drink and forget his poverty And remember his trouble no more. Proverbs 31 I am sure that if one drinks enough strong drink to remember...

You have already given the answer in mentioning the French system. If you drink on an empty stomach, the alcohol goes immediately into your system and you can get tipsy. But if you have wine with your dinner, the wine gets into your system at the same rate as the rest of the food, which takes...

I don't recall ever reading that in Scripture. Reference ??

Thank you. I am just emerging from 7 months in hospital and long-term care. It was actually quite an enjoyable experience and I feel 10 years younger now, with no residual after-effects. :-)

Indeed Josh. I pray for His mantle of protection over my entire family, but I don't pray for the cessation of global warming and associated plagues that are now taking place. Global warming is an accepted part of the ancient Judeo-Christian tradition. It was prophesied by the Prophet Isaiah...

The Bible addresses the transgender issue. We have all experienced inappropriate thoughts, but we don't act upon them. It is when those feelings are activated, that they have the potential of becoming a sin. In the case of transgender thoughts being acted out, it is clearly condemned by...

Just got home from 7 months in hospital and long term care. Jumbled up electrolytes, but I am okay now. I enjoyed all the care and service.

Are you of the seed of Israel??

Because the Old Covenant has never expired and never will expire. It is an eternal Covenant with Israel which God says will be with the seed of Abraham Jacob forever!

But that tent contained the Ark of the Covenant; the Holy of Holies.

There are no successors to the apostles. They have already said what was required of them by the Holy Spirit in their Epistles. End of revelation.
