Well give to us.

That is the point, I stick to what Word says, instead of trying to twist it. If we were the new Isreal the scripture would plainly say so. You would not need all those words to try to sell your belief. God bless Isreal.

We are not Isreal in any sense. In order to get Isreal in the scriptures you posted you had to insert it in parenthesis. As it is we are ahead of the Jews......the tree illustration is similar to the body of Christ. Israel exists in the land that Yahweh gave them. The Jews are known to be the...

I understand that. The Abrahamic Promises took up a couple months in college. What do you think they are?

Simply noting that the word promise does not occur in the Old Testament. The Gospel Faith BY PROMISE first, before the giving of the law?.....Sounds like word salad.

You are talking about promises right?

Conclusion?

What would be the alternative? The attitude we have going into the scriptures means a lot. I have always admired your positivity.

Well Paul has the verses that explain that marriage can be a distraction from the devotion of God. But again the scriptures are not all inclusive.....putting things in motion marriage and family can cause a focus on God. Probably not the best for feeding wives and children to the lions.

There is no question this is true.

Sure, what they are not.....is singing the praises thereof.

Yeshua and Paul did a good job on showing the importance of marriage.......not so much the importance in Christian life.

The amount affirms the importance....but still every verse is important.

To the contrary......they are regulatory......not praise.

For sure......Scriptures are an abbreviated account, topic focused. I said that because you said---->Instead, the New Testament continues to affirm marriage positively throughout its pages. Well we would be lucky if there is a couple verses affirming marriage positively. hardly throughout...

Best wishes It is not only that but also the impending tribulation. At the time Christianity was a renegade religion. At the time, in the minority, the primary religion of the time was Paganism. From their perspective they looked at it like we would look at cults. For around 300 years, until the...

This is something I run into a lot. Interpreting scripture by tradition. And people wanting to believe something find a scripture that seems to support their belief, one or two scriptures, when there are dozens of scriptures that say different. For example; Luke 14:26 If anyone comes to Me, and...
