LOL

You got quite the thing going in that noggin of yours.

Just to clarify....which one of these definitions do you think a Religionist is? Religionist - a person addicted to religion or a religious zealot. religious person - a person who manifests devotion to a deity. Religionist is someone that laughs or mocks your beliefs....of any religion...

LOL One of four statements....The first three caught my attention because they are not true and the thread is called "Truth" LOL

LOL LOL The phrase "God never changes" was not in her OP.

The King James Version and the the New World Translation do not have a lot in common accept both represent some of the most officially documented inaccurate translations. Literally it would take more than one post to list all the inaccuracies. Having said that, the King James Versions of the...

LOL AHHH NO. The word tolerated or concession is never used and God took credit for David's wives. The more wives and children that the Israelites had was considered as a sign of God's favor.

Hey there. Welcome aboard.

So you are saying that slavery, polygamy, concubinage, are part of your religious beliefs....that you do not believe in weddings? You are one that says stick with the Bible. I am the one saying that God continued to teach us.

Pearl, this is what you posted....Christianity does not progress with the times....if it did it is a false religion. I disagree on both counts. If your intent was to start a thread about the unchangeableness of Jesus....don't you think you would need to get a little more specific?....Is...

The social and religious status of women. Ephesians 5:22-24 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also...

Concubinage Again the Bible (the New Testament) does not bring up the topic of concubinage. The Jews still practiced it and it continued on with Christians for sometime. It is a tad complicated. Augustine and Jerome are the only early Christian leaders that I can find that spoke of it and...

Wedding ceremonies. No where in the Bible is there a requirement for weddings. The Hebrews-Jews took their wives...the union was the consummation of the marriage and in some states and countries it is still the consummation of the marriage. The Jewish language did not even have a word for wed or...

Consensual marriages. The culture and customs of the biblical era was for the fathers to choose or negotiate who their daughters would marry. This is occurring in the Old and New Testament. Keep in mind that "dating" does not become a custom until the early 1900's ad. Courting occurs around the...

Polygamy....the ownership of women. In the Gospels when Christ was talking to people other than His own Apostles....most of the time He (a Jew) was talking to Jews about Judaism. You can count that up yourself. Although the Jews practiced polygamy for a another 1000 years after the biblical era...

Ok, lets start with a simple topic.... Slavery Slavery was very common in the Biblical era. The topic of slavery comes up in various discussions. Historically as Christianity moves forward Christianity became popular with the slaves. But at no point does Christ or the Apostles denounce slavery...

Are we drawing a blank?

The Gospel and the New Testament does not change. The question is, does the Living Word of God still teach us things? Did God have other things to teach us?

Now a days progressive means communism...LOL But Christianity did progress....if we walk it through history some of it we may not like, and some of it we may like, but a lot of it was a higher set of morals. And that is the point I am bringing up, what has the Living Word of God taught us...

So you are not saying anything Christ said in the Bible? Your opening "poster" says Christianity does not progress. I disagree with that. It is a good discussion....not a negative. Should you define change.... There is agreement here...do they understand what change means?
