It's so prevalent and so tragic. I have a photo that was taken at my parents' 2nd wedding. I was 17 and my sister was 19 ....our brother was 14. It was a family photo of our parents, us 3 siblings, my brother-in-law, and my newborn niece. The looks on my face and my sisters ....we both looked...

Key word here. lol Word definitions are extremely important. If you have no understanding, or an incomplete understanding of a word, you can make it mean anything you want it to mean.

This, I can agree with. It shouldn't be needed .....but sometimes, it is. Men (and women) do horrible things. When my parents divorced, I was relieved not to have a sexual abuser in the home. And when they remarried .....I was very unhappy about it ....although I wished in my heart that they...

Obviously, he was speaking to a group of men ....so he would be addressing them according to their questions (as they were men/husbands) and their situations. They weren't transgenders or gender confused ....they were men married to women. Use some common sense. Let's see that scripture in...

Because of your multiple threads and posts stating that polygamy is just fine with God... jokes about trading in your wife for 2 ....and another post where you mentioned that the Bible was okay with men having multiple wives AND sex slaves... and you use the examples of fallen men as the...

So according to you, a woman who is married to a man who is an idolator, abuses her sexually, forces her into prostitution, has sex with other women, commits incest with their children .... should not divorce her husband because (in your opinion) to divorce would be "kill, steal, and destroy."...

The simple truth is that the word that is translated as "fornication" in Matthew 19:9 is porneia and it includes not only fornication, but also incest, idolatry, harlotry, and adultery. Greek: πορνεία Transliteration: porneia Pronunciation: por-ni'-ah Definition: From G4203; harlotry...

You are taking scripture out of context in your endeavors to justify your desires. Nowhere in that verse or the surrounding verses is it talking about wives. Jesus came to His own and His own received Him not. He came to the Jews first. He was speaking of the Gentiles who would believe on Him...

Marriage is a picture of the love of Jesus Christ toward His bride, the Church. Ephesians chapter 5 states that the husband should love his wife as Christ loves the Church and gave Himself for it. Jesus isn't a polygamist. He has one Church, with one Covenant. He doesn't have brides from other...

Genesis chapters 1 and 2 tell how marriage was originally designed. Thereafter, sin enters the picture and man deviates from God's original intent.

When you are planting new churches in areas where people are coming out of sinful lifestyles, you have to sometimes state what should to most Christians be obvious.

I'm not making anything up. Research it for yourself. Why else would Paul have to point it out? Because some people were living in ungodly relationships and they were not to be set in leadership positions in the church. Listen ....if you're trying to find some way to wiggle and stretch the...

Just because the Bible describes something doesn't mean the Bible prescribes it. God always starts with one man and one woman... Adam and Eve, for instance ....and Noah, his three sons, and each had one wife. The precedent is set by God, not by man's deviation from God's original design...

The reason Paul made the statement that a deacon must be the husband of one wife is because there were new converts who had been practicing polygamy. None of them were to be placed in authoritative positions in the church. It wasn't a condoning of polygamy. Anyone who was practicing polygamy was...

Hadn't heard about it till this post. I did a quick search and found a few videos. I'll look into it deeper. I believe more of these things will happen as we move forward.

Yes, I knew about wormwood... just didn't feel the need to list them all, as one of the videos mentioned it anyway. :) Papaya seed powder is another. I've used it a lot in the past as a pepper substitute.

True. And there are natural dewormers ... I have to wonder of they would have the same qualities. I don't see why not. How about oregano oil, black walnut, holy basil, etc?

I have a friend in her 60's whose father invented and built a water-powered motor back around 1970. NASA found out about it and sent their imps out to threaten him, beat him till nearly dead ....then they purchased the motor and the plans for a mere $100. (He had no choice ...either sell, or be...

No, because I don't buy it. God started with one man and one woman, and when man went off the rails, He has consistently taken us back to the original design for marriage. What men DO is not the standard. What God SAYS ....IS the standard. I don't care if Tom, Dick, or Harry claim to be...

@RedFan @Aunty Jane Yes, this word (porneia) even includes incest and idolatry. It makes sense that a spouse would be allowed to divorce so that they are no longer yoked to a person given to idolatry and sexual perversions. There are women who have been forced into prostitution and occult...
