Correction : You did NOT see it played out, because Samson married a Philistine Judges 14:1; Paul stipulates marriage partners are ONLY Christians (for Samson that would've been a Jewess).

FWIW I haven't read Enoch probably since 2006--I have too many questions about Christianity to waste my time reading Enoch.

Seems obvious. Religious Jews (Paul was one) don't "date"--they meet a couple times to see if they like one another FOR MARRIAGE PURPOSES, then, if they like one another FOR MARRIAGE PURPOSES, the date is set and they are married and begin having children.

1 Corinthians 7 1Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.a 2But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. People aren't supposed to have girlfriends and boyfriends, they're supposed to...

Ummm... cited by an authoritative text--lived by the authors? Seems like it's fair game to investigate and possibly find value and blessing. I'm just talking about following in their footsteps.

No, I would NOT endorse the Book of Enoch hastily that way. I would SEARCH to check the source. IF it could be verified satisfyingly then I would say "We should consider this book as well." I'm not saying "on par with decided-upon Scripture", but definitely "don't ignore it--there could be...

1. Lucky--or else what? 2. I wasn't the one wrongly claiming to quote Christ directly when I was interpreting that was you. 3. Stop changing the subject or acting like you're right or trying to vindicate yourself. 4. Where did the Law come from? The right hand of God. Moses mediated that Law...

1. Yes, Christ knows perfectly well what that means--"God"/"Moses". When "Moses" gave Law, that came straight from "God". When anything was too difficult for him, he would go resort to God and ask God what the Law was. Every Law came from God none came from Moses. Moses was the mediator of the...

1. You didn't merely "say what Jesus said" you interpreted what Jesus said. 2. The issue I raised wasn't about Christians and Law it was about your misrepresentation of Christ. 3. Yes, "Moses" was the Lawgiver. There is no inference that some Law came from Moses and some from God. It's called...

1. "Logical criteria"--I like that, since that's what I'm following when I say "Hey, these authoritative writings have writers citing material authoritatively, which they clearly lived by, and I want to do the same as they did!" 2. Why would Enoch have to present the Covenant of Law? He was...

They sure can--and they will see you for what you are. You did not quote Christ, you interpreted Christ. Furthermore, you cannot preach the Gospel. How can a man who refuses to admit such trivial errors preach the Gospel? Matthew 19 3Some Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and [c]asking, “Is...

1. Again, you did not merely say what Christ said. 2. This is a discussion forum--people disagree all of the time. I'm not going to sit here silently while you spread misinformation.

Also, no, you didn't say what Christ said--you interpreted what Christ said. Where did Christ say "I am implying some Law didn't come from God"?

You quoted God's Word? Satan quoted God's Word. I guess he could also have made your argument. "Well, I quoted God--argue with Him!" You're equally as wrong as he would've been.

At any stage in the "process" you would've said "These are the Scriptures, you can't change them!" and I would've said "I think there're authoritative works outside of this compilation"--history would've vindicated my position.

No, no such thing is "implied"--He simply answers their question. "Oh, yeah? Well, then, why'd Moses order a man to give her a certificate of divorce?" Did the Pharisees also think "Some parts of the Law are from Moses not God?" No, "Law of God" and "Law of Moses" are used interchangeably for...

The ------- just means "I didn't see a comparable statement in Luke". The bolded pairs in the middle are the 2,000 year "hole".

There wasn't room to mark the passages Mt 24 / Lk 21--had to leave it Mt / Lk.

Mt 1Jesus left the temple area and was going on His way [a]when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him. 2But He responded and said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.”...

After Matthew's abomination of desolation ("if those days hadn't been cut short no flesh would survive"), the end seems imminent. He cites Daniel, who could be interpreted (eschatological interpretation is difficult--I haven't heard a completely satisfying one--some make sense to this or that...
