That's not true. Pick something, anything. Most things, all things, have safe guards. It's only people who either have safe guards or not, a conscience or not, love or hate. And guns may be a terrible scapegoat, but they're just a scapegoat, not the problem, and not the solution.

Now there you go dropping another bomb again... The bible may not have an exclusive franchise on the truth...but God does, and the word that goes out in His name, is His providence alone, not that of men. Granted, the bible is riddled with parable language, by design. But that does not mean...

Such a debate, seemingly having millennia on the side of doubt, is perhaps futile. If the ancient scriptures are not convincing, of which there are, certainly the claims of their fulfillment by Jesus, called the Christ, are no better. But of course...nothing is impossible for God. And the...

It's good to see you are making adjustments to your line. You had first come with claims of your own superior doctrine - so this is good! I would have to say that "belief" is required by God. But indeed, "what we believe" certainly can be wrong and not held against us. As that pertains to...

The hostility has been yours - you came kicking against the goads, and only spoke on controversial topics, as if meaning to pick fights. Perhaps you would like to start over.

You are relying on your own understanding. The word of God, whether the ancient scriptures or the modern bible, are not created by and governed by men, but by the greater providence of God to do His will among men in spite of their weaknesses. Furthermore, "what is written" and all language...

You're right - I never knew you. That's funny...in a sad sort of way - you calling me self righteous and delusional, while bragging on yourself. Yeah for you! But, no, I guess you are not as well known as you think...and therefore I have only to go on your expressed lack of knowledge and the...

You have me all wrong. I am open to God, but not to the world. But don't think you can rewrite the things of God because you have had an experience of letdown over many years. That should be proof to you that the world is not the answer, but apparently coming to that fork in the road you have...

That is the world talking, and now it talks through you. :(

Sir, Why do you have the "Christian" label on your profile? Fail as they may, followers of Christ hold the same standard that Christ does, which is One Church Bride. The next Person to tell you will come on the wind. As for your reasoning that reality according to the world should justify...

You have many axes to grind. Apparently you do not want to resolve them, but only want to vent. Meanwhile, you are not acting in love, but bitterness. I offered you resolution, but only get ranting. For anyone who would actually like to understand the matter of monogamy, it is simple: In the...

You have been talking with your fingers in your ears, apparently unwilling to hear that you yourself are in error, and not willing to have an actual discussion. So, yeah, it's a waste of time - but that is on you. If you change your mind and want to delve into it...well, you'd have to have an...

God has given the answer: Heaven and earth, the kingdom and the world. But each has it's own perception of time, and yet the Author is the standard, not His creation. Therefore, if we are to become One with Him, we will adopt His ways and leave the world behind.

You were the one who dropped this issue bomb like a scriptural terrorist. Don't be so surprised at the backlash. But your premise...is incorrect. What you are doing is asserting that the first Adam is the standard, and not the Last Adam...while rooting for judgement on the Beginning, before the...

You are not facing the music. What is the point if you just do a hit and run? Did you not want clarification?

Sorry, I did not mean the comment for you, but for the OP by evtell.

I guess you didn't catch it (or didn't have an ear to hear)... In the end, after all the infractions, there is only one bride and One groom. That is the only model. Nothing more is justified.

Like the law and the would-be contradictions of the old testament verses the new, which you mention (incorrectly), marriage and monogamy are not justified by those acts of falling short which are written, but by the fulfillment thereof. This is biblical and true, both of the law and of marriage.

Certainly it does not fit your understanding of what I have conveyed of the truth. It is not one or the other. It is the world that is an image of the reality of God. But if you say that the world and the old earth and universe are their own reality, then I can only partially agree, much as one...

Man...have you got it all wrong. If I maintain that "the flesh profits nothing", and that all things are according to the timelessness and eternal nature of God rather than men and the world, it is only because it is all about God, and not about me. So...if you make it all about me, it is you...
