Actually, that is what I did. :) I never said that she couldn't have more children. I stated "The first male child of a marriage was termed the "first-born" even if he turned out to be the only child of the marriage." I also noticed that you had nothing to say about what I stated about...

I already refuted this one back in post #71. And I even showed you the Greek word for "brethren." Here is another thing you don't understand. You are using modern day words to mean the same thing as the Biblical words. The word "first-born" also does not mean the first child to be born...

And where is the evidence showing that He at least had one brother? Even the commentary that you provided doesn't even say for certain that James is Jesus' brother. And all this.....just because I say that one should allow non-Christian members of one's own family to know Christ and be...

Why? You can't respond to it yourself that you need someone to help you with it? :) As I said, there is no evidence showing that James is Jesus' biological brother. If he truely had a brother, Jesus would not have given His Apostle John to take care of His mother Mary. According to Hebrew...

Yes, including this one. James is not the biological brother of Jesus. Look at the two verses below: Mark 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. Matthew...

Treeberry, love is not easy at all. The Bible says that husbands must love their wives AS Christ loves the Church. How did Christ love the Church? He loved the Church by giving up His life for her. Thus, a husband must love his wife by also giving up his life for her. That is how a man is...

Why do most Christians celebrate on Sunday? Because Christ gave us something much better.....a new convenant, which is much better than the old and which fulfilled the Jewish Sabbath. First of all, the six day creation was linked to the Jewish Sabbath. This "six day" creation was linked to...

HELLO???? This is what you stated: All the biblical verses you quoted occurred BEFORE He even died. Do you not know that AFTER His death and resurrection more than 500 people saw Him and believed in Him (1 Corinthians 15:6)? They believed in Him because that was AFTER His death. So, how do...

And where does it say that in the Bible?

Hello Pegg. You are very wise. We are indeed called into God's family, which is why Christ sent His Apostles into the world. True love always involves suffering. Jesus suffered because He truly loved us. And we are called to be like Him. We were the enemies as our sins killed Christ on the...

Oh ye of little faith. Do you not trust God that you have to look for the easy way because you are afraid of trials? All this time that you and I have been posting back and forth, YOU still haven't figured out that I don't see anything wrong with a Christian marrying a non-Christian? You...

This is incorrect. The Corinthians were not the first Gentile believers. It was the people of Antioch who were the first. When St. Paul wrote that letter, he was in Epheus for three years. Prior to being in Epheus, he had already built the Church in Corinth. If you read the entire letter...

Why take a chance? Oh my goodness....this only goes to show that you trust your decisions more than God's will. If it is in God's will that you fall in love with a non-Christian so she can come to know God and be converted, you would rather follow your will?

They got married because they love each other. When two people are in love, they don't see the skin color or their religion, but they see a good, loving, and caring person. Did you honestly think that ONLY Christians have good, loving, and caring characteristics? St. Paul already gave you...

There is nothing in the Bible showing that both spouses were unbelievers before they were married. This is what St. Paul says: 1 Corinthians 7:12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her...

The fact that St. Paul never condemned the marriage of those Christians married to pagans says it all. It is not you nor I who should decide what person someone should marry. A person who wants a successful marriage would always put God first in their marriage like my Aunt did. Her husband...

No, it is not in all situations. If it was in all situations, then why would Christ command His Apostles to go out into the pagan world to speak to them? In that Scripture, it is not speaking about marriage. It is actually a warning to the Corinthians against the infiltration of pagan...

St. Paul NEVER said not to marry unbelievers. That is only YOU saying it. And why should we listen to you? .

The fact that St. Paul already acknowledge and recognized the marriage of those Christians married to unbelievers is already evidence. He did not put down nor discourage those marriages but RECOGNIZED them. It is relevant. We don't need any more hatred and bigotry. Why put down a person...

As you can see from this news report, a Coptic Christian priest fell in love with a Muslim woman, but look at how the Muslims react? Are Christians supposed to behave in this way when two people of different religions love each other? Christians are supposed to be the light of the world as...
