Understood. Recognizing literal consequences, literal accountability certainly involves stress. It is not right to add words to Scripture just to torture the words to fit our doctrine. Rather, we should adjust our doctrine to fit the words. Great question! @Aunty Jane is big on denying the...

So, I've been told. Trouble is, that is NOT what the text says. Inserting the word "spiritually" is not right.

My prayers are with you. I recall when the situation was reversed. In fact, I was thinking just last week about that fateful last night. Getting out of college, I got a job 2,000 miles away. This was my last night living in the Boston area. My mother asked me what I wanted for dinner. My...

This is similar to the apparent contradiction of God saying the day Adam and Even eat the forbidden fruit they will die. Sure enough, 900+ years later, they died. In the original language, the word means begin to die.

Tonight, I'm making chili for the first time this season. For years I did this on Halloween. My community celebrates Halloween the weekend before the actual day to minimize tragic accidents from people coming home from work in the dark. This year was the first year they celebrated on Saturday...

I untwisted your false claim. The Spirit of God is literally given to a person not a womb, as you claim.

Another false dichotomy. Just because something is literal does not mean it is not spiritual. Of course there is a literal and earthly Jerusalem, yes. You know that most words have different senses. In one sense, Jerusalem is a city in Israel. (Call this city a literal or earthly city if it...

False dichotomy. It is simultaneously literal, Spiritual and supernatural. No different than how you are simultaneously a literal daughter, a literal mother and a literal wife or I simultaneously a a literal son, a literal brother, and a literal father and a literal husband.

I'm not exactly sure what the thesis of the OP is. However, Christians are to be wise. We must think what is before us and not focus on the fine feast at the king's table, i.e., what the world would have us do. I gave him a piece of my mind. I told him off. This is "strong" and considered...

Of course our failing to be Godly is literal. Not just your failure sister, but all of us literally fail. We all literally sin. If none of these failings are literally true, there was no reason for Jesus to literally die horribly on a cross and literally be resurrected. That was a good post...

Always. The same is true in politics and recently stated in a vid I watched the other day. The host stated the Democrats CANNOT acknowledge the reason millions of people support Trump. They suffer cognitive dissonance Anyone who supports Trump is garbage. I will unite the American people. I've...

@face2face, this post is so convoluted, which is a departure from your normally well thought out posts. I truly cannot grasp how you are connecting what you are connecting in any of the points you made. This is most obvious in your claim what the whole section is about (shown in red) compared to...

@ Mark 8:20 Jesus says, "It is what comes from inside that defiles you." Within a person's heart comes evil thoughts. Then he lists these: sexual immorality theft murder adultery greed wickedness deceit lustful desires envy slander pride foolishness I color coded them to show the overlap of...

I watched a vid a few years ago that explored this in detail regarding the Gospel accounts. The vid included police detectives experience in interviewing eye witnesses to an event. There are always inconsistencies based on the witnesses point of view. Their view is blocked as the event unfolds...

This may not be a contradiction but when I read this in Devotional reading, I thought of this thread. In the NRSV Cultural Bible, there is an article about 1:46 entitled, "Numbers In Numbers." It states With an able body militia of over 600,000 and an additional population of 22,273 Levites...

Understood. Feminism 101: it’s all about what YOU and what YOU want. Not sure you ever answered the question of how you triumphed over feminism. I won’t hold my breath.

Eisegesis. Gen 3. Numbers 5. Proverbs 31. 1 Tim 2. Not one contiguous theme but various guides. More Eisegesis. Agreed. Agreed. It is remarkable what people who embrace mysticism can extrapolate beyond what the text allows. It reminds me of academic papers where I was asked to write an...

Excerpt from your blog Had I simply acted entitled and demanded my husband let things go and forgive me at any point, that deep well of shame would not have been able to transform me as it did. ... Only by humbly admitting how much I needed to change and no longer pointing any more fingers at my...

Classic primitive dichotomy of us v therm. This all must include all of us, including you. Still, not able to answer simple yes or no question. Hilarious!

OK. I'll come back with subjective whatever (to me). Although we speak the same words, we speak different languages. I speak English. You speak womanese. See vids below for a better understanding of womanese culture and for English translation regarding spicy time, banana, the primary purpose of...
