    "Husband of one wife"

    Ok, you are really invested into this domination of women thing. I could not have asked for more. Thank you for your participation. You have been a wonderful illustrator of my post. Look forward to talking to you on another topic sometime. But for now, count me out.

    "Husband of one wife"

    Again cultural conditioning...what was said and what was done." How do you like that. No better way to define the word and put it in motion. 1800+ years....How many millions of women lived as second rate citizens in their perspective cultures. Do to those that believe as you. Is that love? Is...

    "Husband of one wife"

    Definitely the means of the context....respect means respect.. Part of the topic is cultural conditioning. The more energy and effort you put into justifying the unfairness and cruelty of your beliefs, prove my point. And also why it has taken so long for Christianity to work its way out of this...

    "Husband of one wife"

    The Greek word is respect.But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. The Geek word for favoritism does not appear in the Bible. Google....lol Jewish studies at American University in Washington DC and a bunch of linguistic books. Hebrew...

    "Husband of one wife"

    The Greek word for favoritism----ευνοιοκρατία---meaning; to show favor or partiality. It does not occur in the scriptures.....They had a word for it and did not use it. Changing the meanings of the Greek words is one of many ways to misinterpret the scriptures. From your past posts, we know what...

    "Husband of one wife"

    Wiggle all want. No conversion regarding favoritism in the actual scriptures. Not even close....the Greek word is very specific and well defined. Your argument keeps proving me right. Respecter of persons And in motion the lack of respect of persons has caused the greatest unfairness and the...

    "Husband of one wife"

    The word respect is never associated to favoritism in the Bible. I would ask you to provide the scriptures that indicates respect is described as favoritism, but unlike you, I know that the word favoritism does not occur in the Bible at all. But keep talking because you prove my point in...

    "Husband of one wife"

    Again, your thoughts and attitude illustrate why it took so long to figure out right and wrong. How men justified being cruel, unfair, and even evil. Without respect, your attitude show all. The meaning of the Greek word for respect was well defined....every scripture is referring to people in...

    "Husband of one wife"

    Once respect was directly targeted as not a character of God, and a sin for us, whatever lofty words that followed in the scriptures fell on hardened hearts. Hearts conditioned not to respect. It does not matter if it is romantic love or platonic love, what is left is a plastic rose, only a...

    Matthew 12:47-49 Someone said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You.” But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold My...

    What Is Love?

    page 7 Why do you thing that Christians have such a problem with defining love? You might want to start at the root of the problem, whether it be platonic love or romantic love.

    "Husband of one wife"

    If it could be said that if there were colleges in the biblical era....Paul went to college. Back then there was a concern of who baptized and who taught. Those that were taught by Paul, were considered to be more reliable than others. But still as far as women, Christ's actions with women do...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    As you know, there has been debate on the things Christ said. The redundancy of the Gospels ensures most of that. And Christ may have said things as He went along that the Apostles did not understand, and it is harder to remember what you do not understand. For example Christ's actions do not...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Or in other words....can we learn more by what Christ said, or by what He did? What He did is truth, what we do is truth, truth is reality, the trick is making it good.
