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

    They were Greek/Roman culture...completely Hellenistic.

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

    Titus was in Crete.....not a Jewish city or known for its Jewish community. (Lazy brutes) Timothy was in Ephasus....the Romans bankers paradise. No large Jewish community there either. Both Titus and Timithy were Hellenistic Jews. Outwards appearing as Greeks but with a Jewish heritage...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Well, I stand corrected.... But either way....I never believe in any date setting.

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

    Timothy was stationed in Ephesus....the Banker's home city. Roman's and Greeks believed in only having one wife....zero polygamy. Not many Jews in the early church congregation there either. Greeks and Roman's DID believe in having consorts/concubines. Paul referred to them as wives to...

    THE BANNED PROPHET: EXAMINING WHY THE BOOK OF ENOCH WAS PURGED FROM THE CANON

    You do not seem to want to listen to anyone but AI. Why bother? The logic trains of thought are rather simplistic....but you object and prefer the fruits of a manufactured machine that is admittedly flawed in a core area of needed skills to have proper hermeneutics of scriptures. But I'm...

    Thankful spots weren't cancer!

    When you quote someone you are addressing them and only them unless you quote someone else or include something to signify you are not addressing the quoted person. You are full of more stuff than a christmas chicken. Try finding someone who is gullible....I'm not that person and YOU have...

    Thankful spots weren't cancer!

    Yes you did! And it is not appreciated. Denial is not a river in Egypt. You did it.. Just own your faults....it's the first step in a 12 step program.

    THE BANNED PROPHET: EXAMINING WHY THE BOOK OF ENOCH WAS PURGED FROM THE CANON

    Are you having issues understanding what you read? As in low reading comprehension? In what way did I say anything about any specific person? Start over and CAREFULLY read what I said.

    THE BANNED PROPHET: EXAMINING WHY THE BOOK OF ENOCH WAS PURGED FROM THE CANON

    Wow.... Didn't know AI was becoming that heretical. Might want to check yourself before you wreck yourself. You are literally putting your eternal life in the hands of a computer program? That sounds like the very definition of insanity to me.

    THE BANNED PROPHET: EXAMINING WHY THE BOOK OF ENOCH WAS PURGED FROM THE CANON

    Ummmmm Hate to burst your bubble.... But the Book of Enoch has always been considered religious fiction. In the first paragraph it completely breaks just about all of the tests for scripture that the Jews had. Maccabees and all of the apocrypha did as well which is why they were given a...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Well You all can argue this into next week.... And likely that will happen... I really don't know what day God the Father has picked....if Jesus didn't say, who is Joel Osteen to ? Besides, scripture is clear that "The Day of the Lord" is a horrible day/time period. People hurting, lost...

    Thankful spots weren't cancer!

    We go ALL out. I make over 1k of hand dipped chocolate truffles....usually around a dozen flavors or more. Then I also make over 1k of cookies too....tollhouse usually is about 60% of them. But also some that are ones my wife and I created. (All given out on pretty plates gift wrapped and...

    Dunno what that is....he was in a dark suit....nicely tailored and likely more than I could ever afford to spend on a suit. I got a suit....I just seldom wear it. It fits okayish for off the rack. Elon Musk suit? It is a custom made suit. Never any puckers, bunching or wrinkles. But when...

    Ummmm..... I'm NOT a Calvinist or an Arminian....stop with the false accusations please. We do not follow any pagan rituals in my home. Despite your repeated false and insulting and slanderous accusations.
