Is that what men think and teach? Apparently. It doesn't hold water. According to men for millennia, marriage was not about men and women alike being the bride of Christ, either. But I only mention it as a precedence. But don't tell me about a burden of proof--you are out of order, it doesn't...

We can take them one at a time if you would like to...but since you lump them together, so will I: Each of those--all of those, were when? (speaking of context) They were written in response to that evil generation. Which Paul even had to clarify, instructing Timothy about the future which...

Well, certainly the whole ordeal did test Joseph's faithfulness. But that is just the smaller, local, historic, story, which is not the eternal value and the statement it makes throughout all time about the way God operates in a way that cannot be described as human logic--but completely the...

I am going to take these one at a time: Yes, of course, sin for anyone who is God's...is not going to be taken well. But no, God does not want anyone to turn off their moral compass. But rather to learn the greater truth of His mysterious ways, by all that is written of Him, i.e., He allowed...

Fair enough. But let's understand one another. Most on this thread are speaking up in defense of what they either know or believe to be true...and if we disagree, then one side is correct and correcting while the other is attacking the truth with conjecture. Either way, right or wrong, both are...

Indeed, that is lovely. But it also says that what is being spoken is possibly only quoted as head knowledge--which some do who have no knowledge. I prefer to quote from what is written upon the heart to those who are able to receive it by what is written on their own heart, or pick it up by...

This I did, even quoting--but you did not hear it. But "preaching the Word" is only part. These are those times of which we are lead into all truth by the Holy Spirit--those things which the apostles could not yet bear.

"Back up?" ... I have already told you that what I told you was all scripture--which I quoted from the start. But you have not heard.

No, that is not how things work. You are to know and hear His voice. If you do not, it is on you. As for context, No again. An example would be the prophecies of Christ in the Psalms, not at all in the context of David's own reasons for stating them. God alone decides when a biblical principle...

That is because you have not understood.

This is a mystery, not unlike that of marriage, which was from the beginning, but not fully understood until the words of the prophets came to fruition in Christ, and after Paul explained it as the mystery it was. This mystery of salvation and would-be sin, I have explained to you.

I gave no opinion. It was all scripture...and if you knew them, you would know already by hearing.

Such arguments are only misunderstandings--on their part, but also on yours. This is indeed a difficult matter to justify against a great deal of scripture, or even against one's conscience or Christian logic. But it is a mystery not unlike God allowing Joseph's brothers to sell him into...

You apparently do not fully understand the scriptures. When one is saved (receives salvation), they only do so when they have come to the end of themselves--that is: when they die. What you are not accounting for, which God has documented in the scriptures, is that can and does happen to some...

You are like Israel who crucified the Messiah in spite of all their claims of knowledge which had come to not. As I said, So be it. It is enough. I am through with you.

Paul was not just leaving Timothy instructions for his own generation, but touching back to David, etc., and also for millennia to come, of which we are now a part. But the times. Don't forget the times. Jesus had just recently announce the arrival of the kingdom of God--God whom is spirit...

Yes, none of us are defending sin--that is a great misunderstanding here. But it is also, not one or the other--not love grace or love righteousness. This should not even be our argument, as both come to those who are in Christ. This argument is a spiritual one. Those who prefer the old...

That is perhaps a common mistake, but No, Jesus defined the divide between the ages, saying: That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:6 Jesus announced it as the coming of the kingdom of God (whom is spirit), and Paul, His servant...

I see you still have not learned to use the "Quote" function correctly. Yes, for them who prefer things in writing on tablets, rather than in Spirit. Yes, they prefer the flesh and what is seen, as opposed to what is unseen (God). Yes, yes, as it is now apparent and a reality. Yes, those who...

Yes, and worthy of its own reply: That which has been a mystery for millennia and still not understood by most, I have told you not in many words, but few.
