I quoted one verse, Genesis 2:24. That's an abundance? Even if so, what is wrong with that? Again, I'm not sure why this is a sexist thing. Seems like there are different conversations going on here. I was talking about the ideal. Is there anything that a women should be discouraged from...

What is the concern and why the focus on women? Is the Bible silent on taking care of ones parents and under what conditions to leave them?

It is an answer, just not one you want to accept.

You are not a believer. To quote Hillary, "What difference, at this point, does it make?"

Seriously? You don't think the Creator of the universe could overcome this difficulty? LOL I can imagine telling a story over and over again. A couple of points: I'd likely tell it slightly differently over time and this is seen in the manuscripts. Second, telling the story over and over again...

This entire thread is esoteric of little value.

Another rejection criteria established. What WOULD be an answer that you'd accept?

Why should you be given a break when you are not giving the Apostles a break?

I'm sorry for the confusion. I was responding to this post. "Should" is an ideal. The Bible is a good source of ideals. Me and my mother grew up in a 3 generation household. I grew up in my father's father's house. She grew up in her mother's parents house. So, in my experience, even getting...

No. I am not concerned and I doubt anyone else in this forum is either. You are establishing a rejection criteria but not an acceptance criteria. Writing is an act. You should read the Book of Acts. It began immediately after the death of the Anointed. Does this not tell you anything...

Not a helpful post. Does not advance the discussion. You should have the maturity to advance your own opinion if you think the way of the world is other than night follows day.

What proof will you accept?

What is the alternative in your opinion?

Doubt ≠ Denial. Doubt means you have faith. Denial means you don't. See Augustine's Confessions.

If you subscribe to equality, Genesis 2:24 should be informative.

You strike me as an unbeliever.

What made you become a Christian? When did you turn to Jesus and commit your life to follow him?

There are many works that are righteous. That is not the point. Repenting is not the cause of your salvation. It is a pre-requisite. Now that you have the courage and humility to face your Creator ... I fear too many think paying lip service will suffice. "I believe" or "I repent" are only...

I think there is a lack of humility in those who think their salvation can be earned. For what it is worth, it is clear to me that internal work is required but this is not the external works as meant in the Bible. The internal work is having the humility to accept grace. To do this requires...
