    Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Because of this, wrath has gone out against you from the Lord.

    I think it's a mixture of good and evil. After the horrors and cruelty of the holocaust, as well as the antisemitism they often encounter in the diaspora generally, it is a "good" thing for the Jews to have their own homeland. I wouldn't want to stand in their way, and they are loved on...

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

    Our new man is begotten of God and is made in His image. ....we have His Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ.

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

    How could He have fully represented the word of God and fully obeyed unless He was God manifest in the flesh and the Word made flesh? The scripture says He was in the form of God and equal to God before being found in the form of a man: Phl 2:6-8 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not...

    Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Because of this, wrath has gone out against you from the Lord.

    The unbelieving Jews are lost...they are without God so they tend to do as the lost do. Trust too much in the arm of the flesh....wanting to micromanage and control everything to prevent another holocaust etc. This life is all they have, so they put all their considerable might and energies...

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

    He had to be God in order to fulfill the Law and be a sufficient sacrifice to die on our behalf. Sinless. Pure and spotless. And He had to be both man and God in order to bridge man to God, so to speak. Faith in Jesus is faith in God....it brings us (reconciles us) to God.

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

    "What was conceived in her (Mary) was of the Holy Spirit." But angels can take on the form of human beings, so those in rebellion might have come down to earth and mated with human females....? Much like how angels in scripture are able to eat food. Although I don't know if that Nephilim...

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

    Of course I agree God doesn't "breed"....He is spirit not flesh. And like begets like. We are also begotten of God, our new man, but the difference is that, unlike Jesus, we were never "in the form of God and thinking it not robbery to be equal to God". "The Word was made flesh." "God was...

    But who controls or will control AI? I saw recently with my own eyes how someone or some group or "kingdom" can influence it and put words in its mouth. Or have already done so.

    Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Because of this, wrath has gone out against you from the Lord.

    Sorry to take so long.....I'm very slow these days. I agree it looks in some respects like the pattern.....but we would need to check all the details and see if it matches all of them. For me until the Lord reveals a thing to me I only consider myself to be speculating. If AI is the second...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Do we need to "prove" something that Jesus said? Don't we need to just receive and understand it, with God's help? But I did experience it once, recently......in a bad situation I submitted myself to God's will like Jesus was doing with Pilate, and He turned it around for a...

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

    ok, what do you mean....what is the mistake that human beings make on Jesus Christ? Jesus was open about who He was and the need to believe in Him for salvation. As were the writers of the epistles. The gospel is the mystery of God hid from the foundation of the world that was then openly...

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

    It is a real thing, but in a spiritual way, not a physical way. Jesus was the express image of His Father because He was begotten by the Father.

    Does the Koran reveal Jesus Christ as the way to the Father?

    Do you believe Muslims are saved without faith in Christ and His shed blood?

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

    A Father "begets" children. A mother gives birth to them. Jesus was begotten of God, but born of Mary. This is why He is both Son of God and son of man.

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

    God can use things of this world to speak to His child, but that doesn't mean that thing He used is "of" Him. He spoke to me once through a secular song on the radio, but that doesn't mean I should consider that the song was "of" Him, or that the singer or writer of the song are "of" Him. It...

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

    I'm sorry I'm not understanding what you mean here. But I'd like to just say, that mixture is the confusion that God is not the author of.
