    Was Jesus a carpenter?

    Tekon is a term for general construction labor. It meant no specialized skills. Just a laborer that would do anything and everything that grunt labor can perform. Not a rock carver or a wood worker which needed specialized tools and knowledge. When the Bible was translated into English by...

    Do you forgive easily?

    It's a treatise on the 5 types of sin and how difficult it is for us to repent from and for God to forgive. Ignorance, negligence, planned, and self-righteousness.... The shrewd manager is a tale explaining our capacity to forgive as the forgiven amounts were equal in value but some still...

    Is the ability to procreate the only requirement for the "model" marriage?

    I gave you the scriptures. Not my personal opinions...but yet you attack me personally. What is wrong with you? Biblical literature is extremely clear on the subject of homosexuality....it's a curse that results from sin while being a sin in and of itself. You asked about marriage...I...

    Is the ability to procreate the only requirement for the "model" marriage?

    I'm not claiming it...Paul and Peter are; take it up with Paul and Peter and Solomon. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with...

    Is the ability to procreate the only requirement for the "model" marriage?

    Uhhhhh....yes. 1st chapter going into the beginning of chapter 2. That's exactly what he says among a lot of other things. Peter says "A dog returns to his vomit" which is a quote from proverbs by Solomon when discussing homosexuality. In Hebrew the term dog is often used for homosexuals...

    Are The Benefits of Social Media Platforms More than their Detractors?

    Dr. Jordan Peterson on the subject of Social Media.... I'm inclined to agree with him. Where I do like a lot of aspects of social media....the problems that have been created by it are literally earth shaking. And since it is not "All about Me"....I'm not sure if we weren't better off without...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    It's not opinion...it is scriptures.

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    I'm saying that in order to enter Heaven only the parts of a person that are Holy can get through the gates. ALL sin nature is left behind and cast into hell. So.....everyone goes to Hell (at least a portion of them does) but the part of me that rejoices in righteousness goes on into Heaven...

    That was my answer. Sorry you don't have the cognitive abilities to recognize it as such.

    Is the ability to procreate the only requirement for the "model" marriage?

    No. Grace and forgiveness are very necessary as well.

    Let brotherly love continue

    But this is the internet.... So I make a post: This looks like a circle. It might not be though and it's possibly an oval. But it looks like the intention was to be a circle. Replies: You just don't understand the history of circles How could you be so evil as to suggest its not a...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    Even within the Saints there exists the desire for sin. Paul talked about the sin within him trying to manifest on a regular basis. But the reality of Heaven is such that there is no sin. IOW even the Saints have to be stripped free from their sin natures. Or sin stripped out if them and...
