Marrying for love is a modern concept. The historical purpose of marriage was transfer of wealth through generations. Women were considered property of the man (either father or husband). A women who lost her virginity by any means dramatically lowers her SEXUAL MARKET VALUE, a financial loss to...

Not an answer but I understand wanting to avoid personal examination.

It is correct. One cannot experience 2nd death unless there is a resurrection from the 1st death.

Laps upon laps. Brother means biological. James is Jesus' brother.

Because one verse is dicta (sense 2), the other is a command.

Well, the kite only take flight when meeting resistance (of air). I seldom delve into personal matters online because of experiences you are talking about. For instance, some years ago my wife was robbed in her car. I wrote online of the experience and the aftermath, including the psychological...

My pastor who just retired once said telling people to stop being soft is not Biblical and that God wants us to be emotional and soft.

Agreed. I think it was April_Rose who said recently that people should stop turning non-debate threads into debates. On another side a woman shared that her husband died this week. Like April_Rose, this woman made many personal posts over the years and the online community came out to help...

April_Rose, I am not calling you a troll and apologize if that is how it came across (plus, I do not think one can troll their own thread). If I may, stop grinding your axe with others. Your peace does not come from the approval of others but the divine Spirit of God dwelling in you. Much Love

Correction is 2nd. The 1st point is there is a standard of right and wrong, whether we like it or not. I would not be correcting someone by pointing out, say, murder, is wrong. I watched a movie on Netflix about the Rapture. The main character killed 3 robbers. The store owner later observed he...

Do you agree the following is true? The ONLY way a logical conclusion can be true is if it's premises are true. You want to make a false premise, then blame logic. A is A. Brother literally means biological. If you want to use a word figuratively, that is on you. Just last night I talked with...

I did explain. You are not accepting the explanation. For the 10th time, if the plural 'our' is important in GE 1:26, the singular 'me' in the 1C must be even more important, right? Again, I've answered this question and included a link on how there are not 3 states of matter but 5. For...

April_Rose, it is never a good idea to give anyone the power to make you feel a certain way.

There is a verse about an evangelist having their doctrine refined by a woman, Lydia, I think. What do you make of that verse?

The flaw is not in logic. The flaw is in your word play.

This is something that always bothered me. Everyone will be resurrected but the damned are only resurrected to be punished. Seems like a waste of or counterproductive use of resurrection power.

Not at all. Don't let your heart be troubled. Sad commentary about our society that so many women can dress like ladies of the night and that is AOK but dress extra conservatively and what is wrong with you. I swear our world has its moral poles reversed.

It does not matter where it comes from. What matters is Scripture. IMO there is more in favor than opposed. Let's pursue this logically. On Judgement Day, all will be resurrected, correct? What purpose does this resurrection serve if people are already aware in death?
