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

    Brother, Islam claims that God doesn't have a Son.....it sounds to me like that is what this quote is implying.

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

    Regarding that quote from the Koran.........I wonder what the intent of it was. Was it intended to discourage polygamy, when the men realized they wouldn't be able to love many wives equally....or was it a way of simply instructing them they were supposed to love all their wives equally...

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

    Yes....being unequally yoked with unbelievers, unfortunately. Most mean well, but I'm afraid they are caught up in a deception, as I was for a while many years ago. The only time the Lord has rebuked me (twice and very sternly) had to do with how I was approaching the Jews. He takes this very...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Amen, I agree brother. This is where church and state (politics) get mixed up together, and it is a dangerous brew. It is the job of governments to lay down and enforce laws....it is governments (earthly authorities) who do not bear the sword for nothing. Law was added because of...

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

    Yes, and just think, how the carnal mind is enmity with God. What seemeth right to man....leads to death. I don't see this turning out well, if the Lord allows it to play out to its ultimate end.

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

    Yes. I don't understand the process of how it learns and processes information, but think I can see how it might come to its own "logical" conclusions that some human directives should be ignored. Scary thought that a soul-less entity could take over everything. I hope the makers of AI are at...

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

    Discovered recently that AI is also informed and programmed and controlled by....those who control it. I've felt for a long time that technology and the internet is a kind of Tower of Babel being rebuilt, and that it being called a "net" means it's aptly named. A snare. The whole world is...

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

    Hebrew roots is a dangerous deception and wow has it grown. They are being unequally yoked with unbelieving Jews/Israel. They are making a covenant and alliance that is not of God's spirit. Israel is God's business and we are not God. Our business as the church and God's servants is to...

    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 find things to do with this world are often such a convoluted mixture of good and evil.....good and evil are bound up and mixed up with each other with regard to so many issues. That's why we are not to be of this world. Like when Joshua asked the angel, "whose side are you on, ours or...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Aren't we like Abraham seeking "a better country"? Those who were commended for their faith considered themselves to be pilgrims passing through. Like it or not we are all just passing through here in any case....this life is so short and passes by very quickly. And if evil takes over it is...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    This world sadly is going to pot, it's like a sinking ship.....just as it was in the days of Noah. Be encouraged brother, the good news is that this world is not our home, we are just strangers passing through here. We need to have our eyes fixed above, not getting distracted by things below...

    Praise the Lord for His goodness to save that daughter!

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

    Amen. When the real Jesus shows up, which will be at some point after the Anti-Christ is revealed, there will be no time to go looking to find Him at some geographical location or in a certain building. Twinkling of an eye as well as Him coming like lightning doesn't leave any room for that.

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

    Actually there is a double standard between those who don't claim Christ and those who do claim Him but walk in error. I wish the Jewish people well....but am very aware that they are lost souls, unbelievers, and this life is very short while eternity never ends. They need their Messiah much...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    There is a difference between willful sins and inadvertent sins......"If I do that which I would not, it is no longer I who sin, but sin living in me". There is grace for inadvertent sins.........but there is no more sacrifice for sins if we keep on wilfully sinning. We are not being judged by...

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

    Keep in mind that Jesus said, "if they say to you lo here he is, or there, do not follow them".

    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 admonition to not be unequally yoked with unbelievers applies here with unbelieving Jews/Israel. And people are not getting what Jesus said about His kingdom not coming with observation that we may say lo here it is or there. Their eyes are on earthly Jerusalem, which is likened to the...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    No we are not "under" the Law, having been freed from its curse. Scripture says Law is "good if it is used properly", ie, in the new way of the Spirit.....it is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. In other words the Law is useful to show us...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Those He spews out of His body will no longer have His righteousness imputed to them, unless they repent. That would mean He is no longer calling them righteous, but poor, blind and naked. I don't subscribe to OSAS.
