@Pearl Wonderful that you can discern spiritual lessons here (maybe some of the couples depicted are oblivious of those spiritual lessons...)

@Pearl I do love those verses: "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the...

@Pearl Goes to show just how searching is the truth of the new birth, John 3. There is the account of the preacher George Whitefield who would often preach on "Ye must be born again". One days someone asked him, Mr. Whitefield, why is it that you keep preaching on "Ye must be born again"? He...

@Pearl Oh, the ideal.... :)

@soul man John's First Epistle really does express the basic realities of doctrine clearly, doesn't it? :)

The law was changed; and what we now have is better than the law. (Hebrews 7.12; 7.19.)

@Pearl It means in a similar sense of 1 Peter 4.17: "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" (It doesn't mean that supposed, ecclesiastical authorities have a monopolistic...

@Pearl Well, yes. I can see that with her calm determination she radiates both an inner and physical strength to teach such a floor partner; you said she was a past winner also... I can understand why you really like to follow that competition series.

@Pearl Hard to get one's mind around the idea of Christmas Day on the beach, right? but this is the norm for some in Australia... Of course, years ago - and maybe still, IDK - there was the custom of ppl going on a Christmas Day swim in the Serpentine, in Hyde Park, wasn't there? :)

@Pearl Yes, she seems strong and controlled, as in her nominal submission to her older partner on the floor it's she as a veteran professional who would be guiding him to lead. I'm sure she would respond well to it. All part of the grace and mystery of the routines, I guess...

@Nancy Mine, too...

PS: What sort of "piety" is it to enforce tithes and simultaneously coerce a husband to divorce his wife, in order to get more money..... :rolleyes: This should be called Babylon rather than the church of God (1 Corinthians 10.32).

@amadeus I do believe that if New Testament believers want to give a tenth or even more than a tenth of their income it is commendable, but the strict law obligation to give the tithe to Levites belongs to the Old Testament. How this is abused by some people in churches, who twist the...

@Barbara Sorry about your technology problems with your user name.... Yes, I saw the news item about the new stain of virus and the restrictions in the UK...keep safe...

What a wicked thing to do, because he wanted your money he wanted you to divorce your wife.... What a state some churches have gotten themselves into....

@Pearl Well, interesting... hawtselebs dot com So it turns out that she the much younger one is the real veteran, while he the older one is the amateur... She does look a really assured, handsome professional lady, doesn't she?
