    "Husband of one wife"

    If it could be said that if there were colleges in the biblical era....Paul went to college. Back then there was a concern of who baptized and who taught. Those that were taught by Paul, were considered to be more reliable than others. But still as far as women, Christ's actions with women do...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    As you know, there has been debate on the things Christ said. The redundancy of the Gospels ensures most of that. And Christ may have said things as He went along that the Apostles did not understand, and it is harder to remember what you do not understand. For example Christ's actions do not...

    Or in other words....can we learn more by what Christ said, or by what He did? What He did is truth, what we do is truth, truth is reality, the trick is making it good.

    You and I are interested in truth. What better source....not psychology or philosophy or Confucius.... Not anything from man....but we are Man and we are not what we say, but what we do. Truth can reflect back at us, if we live it.

    "Husband of one wife"

    And there you have it, there it is, and there we go. Summed up at least in spirit why Christians did not get it. It is not that the morality of God runs so closely to the morality men....it is just that "men" are slow to learn what is right. For that which is equitable, seems to be justice, and...

    "Husband of one wife"

    Democracy comes from ancient pagan Greece after all. I was going to mention that, you are right. The concept of freedom and and democracy did not come from Christianity. There was never a time in history that Christians promoted freedom, until the colonies. The Catholics were usually in bed...

    "Husband of one wife"

    That is actually a complicated study, why Christianity did not catch on sooner? You have probably heard of the women suffrage movement...the ERA etc. But part of the history goes unnoticed. The actual change started and existed in the west. The "western times" you know the covered wagons and the...

    "Husband of one wife"

    Here is one of a few. Knowing the religion and the culture is important. Exodus 21:7-11 If a man sells his daughter as a female slave, she is not to go free as the male slaves do. If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed...
