    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Did I say anything about the Mosaic Law. I am talking about the Old Testament that you quoted. Obedience to what? Obedience to belief? And again I am not a Jew. No eternal commandment for Christians here. Has nothing to do with salvation.

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Well on the Old Testament scriptures I will again say I am not a Jew and we are not under that covenant. The warning in Revelation is speaking only of the book of Revelation....it was not bound in a "book" until Constantine commissioned the binding of the scriptures in the 50 Bibles of...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    If I remember correctly the Mosaic Law was referred to as forever or eternal around 50 times. The prophets foretold that the human warlord king messiah would conquer all their enemies. The Temple would be rebuilt and last forever. And sacrifices in the temple would go on forever. And the...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    All good. But my religion is not based on false beliefs and inventions of things. Satan and demons are a big things in the New Testament but not so much in the Old Testament. Hear now, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances I am teaching you to follow, so that you may live and may enter and...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Well we have went over the serpent and dragon thing.....symbology I am ok with but I do not look under my bed for monsters. Talking serpent in Eden that caused the fall of Man. Kind of big thing for it to be secret to God. How many thousands of years does the Old Testament span? Kind of a long...

    Poll: Avoid sex before marriage? Tips on avoiding sex as a celibate

    Miss Fluffy, I have a lot of patience for innocence. In a lot of ways Christianity has become a refuge with those that have issues of one kind or another....drink too much...eat too much...gamble too much.... A lot of Christians drink in bars and sports bars and we are in good...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Really that should be a concern of yours....you do not abide in the Word.

    Poll: Avoid sex before marriage? Tips on avoiding sex as a celibate

    Beliefs....Truth.....Facts. The proverbial question....what came first, the chicken or the egg? Can you be married without having sex? Yes and no. You can be legally married.....but you can have it annulled at anytime....no need for a divorce. And No, not in the eyes of the Lord....the union...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    In the New Testament Yeshua gives us a clearer explanation of the oneness concept. Speaking to God the Father (He is not talking to Himself) Yeshua says this about the concept of one...John 17:22 “And the glory which to them; that they may be one just as We are one.” Because Yeshua says “just...

    Living in Sin or just roommates who love each other?

    I have a lot of reasons for why I handle relationships they way I do. Some of it is biblical, some experiences, not necessary all mine, and some of it historical. Basically keep it simple Sam. I treat women with respect, particularly the ones I love. I do not carouse for one night stands. I...

    Living in Sin or just roommates who love each other?

    It sure does. A pastor and his or her congregation. A good pastor can change things....but it is still a pipe dream to believe you can control beliefs as a whole.

    Living in Sin or just roommates who love each other?

    Nope nope nope Judging who comes to church....dangerous profession Bring them to the Lord....let God have at 'em. In some ways you are back to the Catholic Church who believe they have authority and control over salvation. These couples that live together have not sinned. You stand between them...

    Living in Sin or just roommates who love each other?

    Again wrong thinking. Condemning the churches of Christ. Paul worked with the churches. Scolded them when they needed it. And you are right....some are being led by the blind....so is the answer for people of sight to abandon them? If Christ has given you sight....and He has....you are burying...

    Living in Sin or just roommates who love each other?

    Listen to the words that I am typing! LOL I support the Catholic Church making marriage a sacrament. I support the Protestant churches making weddings and vows a requirement. In my opinion, weddings are for churches. I do not like the justice of the peace thing. I could be a wedding...

    Living in Sin or just roommates who love each other?

    No I do not agree with this. I understand the concept of the church of ones. It is wrong thinking on several levels. 1. Certainly you understand that no apostle would preach that everyone should go off and start their own beliefs and singular church. 2. We are told to assemble and worship the...

    Living in Sin or just roommates who love each other?

    In our religious society....yes. Legally there is something called a common law wife. It is the sin of judging out of ignorance that is the problem. Deep topic because there is a social / religious belief....a hatred of sex....almost a separate religion. An infatuation of what other people are...

    Living in Sin or just roommates who love each other?

    And there is the rub... Making up theology to control people's actions. Bad practice because you end up losing creditability. Telling lies to control people is not the way to teach Christianity. Stop that! It will make you go blind! This desire to control does not work out. This type of...

    Living in Sin or just roommates who love each other?

    This concern can drive you nuts....It encompasses so many weaknesses that you could not go out in public or talk to anyone and have live in a closet.

    Living in Sin or just roommates who love each other?

    First off fornication...like the words Trinity and the phrase Original Sin are campaign slogans that are not in the Bible...coined by men to promote false beliefs. The word fornication is not in the scriptures. It is from the Latin Vulgate and retro-fitted for the Bible to promote false beliefs...

    Living in Sin or just roommates who love each other?

    Hey! I am with stupid! But I do not pay any attention to him. We live among the stupid. Living for the approval of men is wrong on several levels.
