    divorce and remarriage?

    And @lilygrace One of the things that we do not talk about much is that some Protestants believe that we are buried in Christ with Baptism and the person that comes up out of the water...is a new person from the perspective of God. At that instant, that person is sinless, and nothing they did in...

    This is not true. Am I to assume you are Jehovah's Witness?

    divorce and remarriage?

    Define "history of backsliders" I am not addressing the girl. What am I saying? The truth. My religion is not defined by what I like or dislike. If God consulted me there are a lot of things I would have changed. But that is not my paygrade...LOL The facts are....like it or not...... Nowhere...

    divorce and remarriage?

    Because these are prizes texts....if there was a huge copy processes going on we would have more of them. Beyond that we can think, we can believe, we can speculate.....but we do not know. What we do know is that not just anyone was given the job of copying these religious texts and it was...

    Catholic issues

    Well that is some good advise. Hopefully that was not the nature of the Apostles or your doctor. But may describe some of those that started these denominations. Following a fool? And lets hope the wisdom of Christianity fairs better.

    divorce and remarriage?

    The history of the word fornication....is just that....history.....not biblical. You are not disagreeing with me....you are disagreeing with reality....easy enough to look up....but still Beliefs....Truths....Facts....where do you want your religion to be? And this means what? What has this...

    divorce and remarriage?

    Put away is more or less leave. No Christian process for divorce....like I said the word divorce does not occur outside the Gospels. Now the Bible never required wedding ceremonies.....but why no Christian process for divorce?....only speculation exists on that. Well if you can find a...

    divorce and remarriage?

    The history of the texts both Old and New Testament is interesting and you need to look into that. Each "church" had it own collection of texts it favored. Copy processes is another issue. The first bound copy of the favored texts were the 50 Bibles of Constantine. Why were these the first bound...

    Catholic issues

    The two things that protestants hate....the Catholic Church and Smart people LOL Like Biden said, I am sick and tired of smart men! We need a stupid president and we got one! There are alternatives.... Educated in Christianity or stupid in Christianity.... What does it take to interpret an...

    divorce and remarriage?

    There is no if....fornication cannot be there. The words and I say words that are replaced with the word fornication does not imply two unmarried people having sex....That is how people "got" married back then. The Greek words that fornication replaced meant sex with...

    divorce and remarriage?

    15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you; 16 as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and...

    divorce and remarriage?

    If you have a Bible with the word fornication in it....throw it away! The words fornicate, fornicator, or fornication does not appear in the Bible. They are words that have definitions that occurred many centuries after the Bible and then inserted in the translation to interject a meaning of...

    divorce and remarriage?

    You might think I am more "holy or right" if I would agree with you. But I have a reputation for being a straight shooter...so...In most cases no matter how religious people are....it is not going to happen that way anyway. It gets a little sticky....LOL....but sticky is good. Of course the...

    divorce and remarriage?

    This is one of the issues that Christianity has with understanding the Bible. As I keep saying you cannot read the scriptures like they are the latest edition of the local Sunday Paper. Context! Context! Cover to cover....Polygamy and concubinage was never a sin. Nor was it a sin for a father...

    divorce and remarriage?

    Fundamentalism....bible only was something that had to happen some 1500 years after Christ's ministry. But by method it has caused its own problems. By human ruling, God does not have the authority to make corrections or additions to the Bible. There was a lot going on with Christ's...

    divorce and remarriage?

    This is actually my point....people were told what to believe and do. That was what the letters were for. Not sure of your point. I will just say this....if you think that Paul thought he was writing scriptures....you are wrong. He is responding to letters from churches....which is very...

    divorce and remarriage?

    For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever...

    divorce and remarriage?

    I am not saying that Christ did not have the right to modify the Mosaic Law in regard to divorce. But that not all He did....Moses permitted you! Is the most significant thing He said there......Not God permitted you. Find that Law. You can romanticize and justify slavery all you want. It is...

    divorce and remarriage?

    But he did not say that a man seeking a wife or a man remarrying was a sin.... Why would he say....if you marry it is not a sin. What is going on? Why wouldn't he say that if a man remarries it is a sin? He does not call it a sin...he is suggesting things....celibacy. But it is not a sin to...
