The social and religious status of women. Ephesians 5:22-24 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also...

Concubinage Again the Bible (the New Testament) does not bring up the topic of concubinage. The Jews still practiced it and it continued on with Christians for sometime. It is a tad complicated. Augustine and Jerome are the only early Christian leaders that I can find that spoke of it and...

Wedding ceremonies. No where in the Bible is there a requirement for weddings. The Hebrews-Jews took their wives...the union was the consummation of the marriage and in some states and countries it is still the consummation of the marriage. The Jewish language did not even have a word for wed or...

Consensual marriages. The culture and customs of the biblical era was for the fathers to choose or negotiate who their daughters would marry. This is occurring in the Old and New Testament. Keep in mind that "dating" does not become a custom until the early 1900's ad. Courting occurs around the...

Polygamy....the ownership of women. In the Gospels when Christ was talking to people other than His own Apostles....most of the time He (a Jew) was talking to Jews about Judaism. You can count that up yourself. Although the Jews practiced polygamy for a another 1000 years after the biblical era...

Ok, lets start with a simple topic.... Slavery Slavery was very common in the Biblical era. The topic of slavery comes up in various discussions. Historically as Christianity moves forward Christianity became popular with the slaves. But at no point does Christ or the Apostles denounce slavery...

Are we drawing a blank?

The Gospel and the New Testament does not change. The question is, does the Living Word of God still teach us things? Did God have other things to teach us?

Now a days progressive means communism...LOL But Christianity did progress....if we walk it through history some of it we may not like, and some of it we may like, but a lot of it was a higher set of morals. And that is the point I am bringing up, what has the Living Word of God taught us...

So you are not saying anything Christ said in the Bible? Your opening "poster" says Christianity does not progress. I disagree with that. It is a good discussion....not a negative. Should you define change.... There is agreement here...do they understand what change means?

Spirit. For without both you cannot attain to perfection. It is not who says this, but the Lord Jesus Christ, who has the power in this matter. And he says, 'Unless a man be born again,' and he adds the words 'of water and of the Spirit,' 'he cannot enter the kingdom of God.' He that is baptized...

The Early Church Fathers on Being Born Again In John 3:3, Jesus tells Nicodimus no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. To some this means that once a person makes a personal commitment to Christ he is born again. As the Apostle Paul would say: “If anyone is in Christ, there...

You are right there are a lot of changes in the Bible and I think they were planed by God. Do you like weddings?

All this is true for sure and certain. But the concept that the Bible was ever static is wrong. The storyline of the Bible was ever changing from start to finish. Not trying to rock your world just try to get you guys and gals to think about what changes occurred in the Bible and what changes...

Much love! Disagree with all of you....! LOL I believe in the Living Word of God. Granted we have to test what comes forward after the close of the Bible, but, put your thinking caps on and come up with a list of things that we have learned regarding morals, spoken and unspoken.

There are quite a few videos of her and that was a few years back. She is amazing and inspirational.

He was the founder of Judaism too.

LOL God does not follow Himself or worship Himself and He was not saved by Himself.

God is not Christian either. So what is your point? But the Old Testament....Hebrew Bible defined Judaism long before Christians came along.
