    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    Someone needs to actually visit Jerusalem to know what they are talking about. Also.... The prelude to this is a Qual (type of Hebrew clause) that directly explains why David was in the wrong place at the wrong time....IE: he should have been elsewhere.

    Enough that you started this thread asking the questions you asked. Try a modern translation and do it again.

    Thanksgiving

    Just as a bit of humor to interject.... I got somewhere between 30-40 family members and friends showing up Thursday. Should be the normal chaos and fun all at the same time.

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    Your issue is the use of KJV without actually understanding 17th century English.

    Tips on how to memorize bible verses?

    Write offs.... Just like punishments when you were a child. Joshua 1:8 Do not let this book of the Law depart from your mouth, meditate upon it day and night so that you might be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. I did write offs of the...

    Concerned about cancer...

    In this neighborhood.... There was no water, sewer, or electricity available when this house was built. We know where the well was once upon a time. Also the septic. Power came after TVA. But this area doesn't have TVA. When water and power became available after WW2 and there was a...

    What Is The Difference Between Liberal, Conservative and Fundamentalist Christians?

    Hebrews does differentiate between two but it again is addressing a different crowd than John does. James, Jude, Matthew, and Hebrews all are directed at Jewish believers. Not Gentiles. So...we are NOT Jewish or raised in a Jewish home. We are more Gentiles than Ancient Near East Semetic...

    What Is The Difference Between Liberal, Conservative and Fundamentalist Christians?

    I was thinking today.... (I know...scary proposition). Since we are having a difficult time classifying or determining the boundaries of various groups of Christians.... Let's "go back to formula". There are TWO different scriptures that describe believers. One is the Parable of the Soils...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Ok.... What is REALLY important is discerning the maturity of various Christians is it not? And the answer is in 1John. In this letter John writes to children/little ones, adolescents/young men, and Father's. He describes each one perfectly....but he is not speaking about chronological...

    Missing Children

    I didn't suggest that those who sold their children do not grieve....I recommend that you do the same. I know that they sold them...it doesn't negate their grief either but it also entails tremendous guilt over the situation. Making the entire situation worse. I'm just relating the reality...

    Concerned about cancer...

    Most of the houses I have owned has had copper pipe for drinking lines. And they haven't used lead solder for the copper in a very long time. Always been silver solder. This one I just bought a couple years ago. It's needing fixing. Half inch water lines everywhere even for trunk lines. All...

    Concerned about cancer...

    The house I live in is OLD. Built originally in the 1800's as a Queen Ann Victorian. Electricity, water, central heat/air were upgrades made later. However, the original water line was made with Galvanized iron pipe. It has been needing to be replaced. Got a letter about it today telling...

    Missing Children

    Some children were not stolen...they were sold by their parents. Poverty drives some parents to sell their children because they have a difficult time feeding themselves much less their children. This is not that unknown of a phenomenon. In the scriptures there are prophecies about...

    Fish Aquarium

    They are just big and somewhat aggressive for fish. Big fish eat smaller fish. It's just the way the ocean fish or tropical fish operate.

    Biden Admin Allows Ukraine to Use US Arms to Strike Inside Russia

    Russia is experiencing stagflation. No unemployment because there is a labor shortage. All factories are at the limit of their production. All economic growth is halted by high interest rates and lack of labor resources. Last night Russia launched an ICBM (non nuclear) in retaliation over...

    Wants vs Needs: How do you decide whether to purchase something on your want list?

    I've used cheap pots and pans for most of my adult life. Then a few years back my wife (thank God for her) bought me a nice pot....just one. It was such a dream to cook in it....totally different experience. Absolutely wonderful for making caramel or thick sauces or soups without scorching...

    What Is The Difference Between Liberal, Conservative and Fundamentalist Christians?

    Perhaps...Perhaps not. I don't really know who you think I am. I'm just me....always been me.
