We are also required to think. I would see Paul's statement above as generic meaning it could also be understood as meaning, the wife to be the husband of one man. I don't get my knickers in a knot over this stuff.

yeah, so am I. First I blow my nose half a dozen time....that gets rid of most of it.

the compulsion to pick is greater than the physical.

Jesus is the desire of ages....it is for and to him that hope focuses.

Be assured A_R....That which is seen as 'party' is a trap.....it sings Satans praises though voicing that which seems opposite. Being seduced by it reinforces the grip of the evil one.
