So, you hold there is some command Christ may give that you are obligated to not follow?

This reminds me of a born again Christian friend who was an English major at a secular college. One elective was "Literature of the Bible." We all know the Bible is a rich tapestry of literal history, lots of figurative language, poetry, edicts, and various rhetorical devices. He was...

Already explained. It was implied in your foolish statement that you cannot force people to do things against their will. We are not supposed to passively wait but seek, knock, ask, work to help those in need and convert the nations of the world. You would know that we have work to do and not...

I meant to get back to this and am glad I have the time during the holiday weekend to dredge through AJ's typical 12-paragraph posts, never able to make a concise reply. Ad Homenim. Shows you've lost the argument. American Exceptionalism on display. We don't judge ourselves by how much...

First, there were several such departments to address waste, fraud and abuse in US history, starting with Andrew Jackson. The last one was during the FDR administration. When I first heard that DOGE would have 2 co-chairs, I thought that was a mistake because the Bible says you cannot have 2...

Pathetic. All men do not have to be THAT smart for you to follow the Bible's command to unconditionally submit to your husband.

She does not see the log in her eye. Regarding her constant need to glorify herself; in this case, being a dead shot. It shows the absolute foolish pride of women. Your original story indicated a capacity to avoid conflict that flowed from situational awareness, i.e., peace maker. @Mink57 is...

A direct quote is not an interpretation. How do you interpret: Ephesians 5:22 For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

‘Eternally begotten’ is inherently contradictory, like square circles. Not surprisingly, neither are in the Bible.

Oh? Auto correct. Submit. Do you agree with the Bible that wives should submit to their husbands?

Genesis 1:27

I agree with the Bible that wives should support to their husbands. Do you?

Explains why you are single.

What Bible verse says that?

None of the Biblical references require ALL men to be logical as a pre/requisite to a wife submitting to her husband. You put yourself above God, inventing pre-conditions for what God commanded unconditionally.

Brilliant! That you recall with great detail the tactical situation while your wife was oblivious tells the profound story. That is the profound story. Thanks for telling it.

It matters to you! When a husband tells a wife to do something (like duck), your first inclination is to challenge the validity of the assessment and his competence because of your deep seated man hating.

Correct! There are many lords in Scripture (but the word “LORD” applies exclusively to YHWH). Jesus’ God is also sometimes called lord, as in this case. REV translation makes it clear what is happening in the text. O Lord, at your right hand is he who will shatter kings in the day of his...

Connect those dots to your question.

In another forum years ago, I brought up an analogous question and got no good answer. Why do humans study medicine to heal the sick rather than theology? For that too is a colossal waste of time. I was reminded of this after reading this today in devotional reading. Luke 4:38-40 Jesus Heals...
