    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Well it is common knowledge that in the Old and New Testament people believed in monsters...dragons and sea monsters. It was just what they believed back then. As far as the connection to evil....that is not a far jump. What men believe and what is true and what God knows is two different...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Good job! There is no doubt that there were people in the New Testament that thought that the talking serpent was Satan. Apparently it was a secret that was kept from God too? LOL He never blamed Satan for the fall of Man in the Old Testament. How about Christ and the Jews? It must of been quite...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    I am going to tell you the same thing I tell everyone else. There is a lot of misconceptions and assumptions running around in people's heads. A lot of it is in the understanding of the Old Testament. The Old Testament does not identify Satan as the tempter in Eden. The Old Testament does not...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Noting by what you write, that you are dwelling on the past. God is today and yesterday. No one gagged God" - who said they did???- or are you thinking that the Father has more that was said? Oh absolutely more to say....He did not go silent. Why would He? Was there more information to...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    The Word of God is wonderful and valid and the NT contains the first 65 years of it. No one gagged God. He did not go silent at the end of the biblical era. 2,000 years of a very active God and the interaction with humanity. The Bible only approach was very valid....at the time....but there...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Cult....heretics....demons? Again I question your definition of cult. It is nothing new about differing Christian religions not liking differing Christian religions, it is the reality of Protestantism. People do not like Walmart. The large and well known are open for criticism and ridicule. If...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Define your definition of cult. Most of the time when people use the word cult it means; I don't like that religion. You can say they are not fundamentalists. Beyond that you can find some one that does not like any particular religion. There have been well defined cults so what comparison...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    You are right. There was so much talk of cults going on that I was going to enlighten them on the correct definition of cult.

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    You are stating a religious belief. I get that. But that does not mean that you understand the scriptures. 30,000 attempts at understanding the scriptures, or the millions that come up with their own understanding of the scriptures does not even remotely suggest that they or you understand the...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    All denominations live in glass houses and share the sin of demolishing the Church of Christ. 30,000 Protestant denominations. If it takes you over 30,000 attempts, did any of them understand much of anything in the beginning? It is more or less like watching someone shooting in the dark. I mean...

    is doing sexual things with a boyfriend/girlfriend sin...

    Wrong again. Most of what goes on in the Old Testament is regulated by the Mosaic Law. True by Christian standards some it is crude rude and disgusting, but a normative in the Old Testament, As far as worshipping other gods, quite a few examples of that. Find it. Thou shalt not have sex unless...

    is doing sexual things with a boyfriend/girlfriend sin...

    Not my opinion...it is a fact. Find the the frequency....anything else and it is just wishful thinking on your part. High profile marriages if they were practicing it, it would be mentioned. This thing where people impose their will over the scriptures is not even Christianity. Next thing you...

    is doing sexual things with a boyfriend/girlfriend sin...

    Not the point...it exists in the Bible...the point is frequency and no way to prove it. And the fact that the Bible does not require a wedding ceremony or vows....Old or New Testament. Of course the word wedding cannot appear in the Old Testament. There is no government requirement to be...

    is doing sexual things with a boyfriend/girlfriend sin...

    Here is some posts in this thread to catch you up....241....242....248 Well the simple answer is that, from the moment a couple lays eyes on each other....to the moment they are on their front porch sitting on twin rocking chairs watching the traffic go by and their grandchildren playing on the...

    is doing sexual things with a boyfriend/girlfriend sin...

    Don't care if you change your mind. That is not my ministry. Johnny Appleseed of truth. I believe in freedom of religion. All I am asking is for you to be honest with yourself and everyone else and admit you cannot find a requirement of a wedding and vows in the Bible. What good is a religion...

    Beliefs...truths....facts I don't care if you belief it, just as long as you do not say it is biblical. I told you that you cannot find a requirement for a wedding ceremony in the Bible....and you know you cannot. The rest of it, if truth is important to you, you can look it up for yourself...

    is doing sexual things with a boyfriend/girlfriend sin...

    Close. But you are trying to suggest this was a norm....when the scriptures do not show that to be true. Then you are trying to suggest things that are nowhere to be found in the scriptures. Got to stick with the facts that are in the OT. You or I, can say traditionally this or that happened...

    is doing sexual things with a boyfriend/girlfriend sin...

    Lots and lots of polygamous relationships with hardly any restrictions. I am going to say they did all kinds of things, but I cannot prove it nor can you disprove they did not. Jacob would be likely to do anything, very poor character, his story demonstrates that he had little to no...
