Told you so! Everyone wants to argue about legitimate reasons for divorce and what constitutes adultery. The truth is that Jesus instituted a New Covenant....one without codified law for a reason. And people are forever trying to nail jello to the wall so they can get around it. But they...

Learn to say more with less words. Moses and Paul did it....even Peter did it. You can too.

I don't know if it's about maturity as much as it implies wisdom. Knowing wisdom and learning wisdom are somewhat different. Some people Excell at applied knowledge (which is wisdom) others just regurgitate what they have learned by listening to others. And it is deceiving at times who...

People are selfish....they want to use the innocent for their personal gratification. They are sick twisted perverts who destroy everything they touch. I highly recommend staying away from these sorts and not having anything to do with them. I do find it especially interesting though...

Sex is a major physical part of marriage. Sex causes children. Just one of those things. In today's society we are definitely over-sexed. Everything is about sex in some fashion. Whether abstaining or endulging or browbeating the abstainers or endulgers. *depending upon your proclivities*...

Samuel is not exactly a story that is going to be useful. Eli was a horrible priest. So let's divert away and use Judah and Tamar. Judah was supposed to give Tamar to another husband of one of his sons... And if not he was supposed to marry her himself to keep the lineage going for his...

We often try to place our lense of modern society into the scriptures regularly and have for centuries. Where human behavior has not improved and been a constant...it has gotten better in some ways...less barbaric and bloody in some ways. But just as deadly and violent just the same. We...

Polygamy was mandated by the Torah in certain instances. (See Ruth) David had many wives as did Solomon in excess...many kings in Israel had many wives. But so did Moses. Moses's second wife was "one of the cushite barbarians" that Egypt built all its military fortifications to prevent their...

Consorts were so much an integrated part of Roman life that it wasn't secret or scandalous whatsoever. It was actually a status symbol to be a consort of a wealthy man. These consorts relied solely upon their boyfriends for their monetary support. It had no relationship to today's standards...

When Paul wrote to the Church at Ephesus (where Timothy was serving as an Apostle ) he told the Ephesian men to "love their wives" and for women to "respect their husbands" . Both of these directives were outside the box of normality. Sex slaves were common. But a sex slave wasn't...

The letter was written by Paul to Timothy...his apprentice. Not a formal letter written to an entire church body. So some colloquium were used within the contents. In Roman society plural marriage was NOT common as it was inside of Jewish society. In fact it was extremely distasteful...

Admin..... Last seen Feb 7 of this year. Hmmmmmm
