The OP is about what Jesus says about the Law. Are you helping move that conversation ahead? Am I missing something?

Please merely explicate what point you are making.

He literally says, "You have heard it said... but I say"--explicitly countermanding Torah.

No, bc "Salvation" is defined as having been foreshadowed by the Jews' "Salvation" from Egypt (when Jesus defines sin as "slavery", it's not mere coincidence)--still, after having been saved, they sinned and fell under God's wrath and failed to inherit what was promised them (1 Co 10).

Yep, James identifies Christ as a "Law giver"--ie, in terms of Law giving, on par with (or better than) Moses, as it says, "a prophet like Moses".

It's untrue that God's Law is eternal and unchanging--eg, the Law forbids incest, but incest was a Holy Command in Gen 1 ("be fruitful and multiply" would result in incest). Christ overruled Torah in a number of instances (eg, forbidding vows), so we know He didn't mean "You must follow the...

Thanks for confirming my suspicion was true. Wasn't sure if it was bc I had had to take antibiotics (almost died--dialysis catheter got an infection), or bc reformulation. It's ineffective now. No mercury thankfully. I use Innate Response C-400. They said the FDA forced them to change their...

I had relied on Tom's of Maine Cinnamint Propolis and Myrrh, but it seems to have been reformulated. Is the Tea Tree Oil Toothpaste really effective, then?

FYI tangentially clove oil is a minor miracle for oral hygiene. Even prevents tartar buildup, and seems to kill the bacteria that cause tooth aches.

It may need to be put to the test a bit before being accepted, but I think it's reasonable what @David in NJ is saying, and should be considered. I'm open to the idea that she was his bride upon drawing her first breath (possibly even before--she was already within him, though I'm uncertain it...

Genesis 2 18Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” 19Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man...

And why does that make you laugh?

Not sure what you're saying.

I thought Adam meant (by "now") "The creatures You brought to me before were not suitable, but, now you brought me something that is perfect for me." Oh, well, there ya go.

"Funny" because it seems like it doesn't make a difference either way.

There's actually a funny question as to whether Adam had a belly button, because he never had an umbilical cord. LOL But maybe he was just created with one.

Yeah, I think I could get on board with that.

Cool.

Not even sure what the point of Adam being affianced to Eve pertains to, just noting.

It might be a bit different with Adam, though--as also he was never "birthed", didn't develop in a womb, and didn't "grow up", but was born as a man--since Eve was literally from his flesh, whereas other men "become" "one flesh" with their wives, Eve was Adam's own "body" (as the Church is...
